Modus Operandi
PROFILER 1XO6 MODUS OPERANDI - Donny.
What are you doing out so late? - Mom said I could pick up my laser gun as long as I came right home.
Is it ready? - It sure is.
- Here we go.
- It was one little wire just snapped.
That happens with sophisticated weaponry.
- Thanks, papa doc.
You're the greatest.
- You get on home now.
- Go! - Oh!Oh, what was that? I keep losing.
- I keep ending up on top.
This is such a great game.
- You have great eyes.
- You have a great nose.
You do.
- That's me.
Oh, I gotta go.
- Cereal? - No.
I don't have time.
My mother always said breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
- Your mother was a very wise woman.
- You want the orange juice or the apple juice? - Uh, I'll take the apple.
- You know,uh, Lafayette, Louisiana is probably my most favorite city in the entire western world.
- Oh, that's great.
I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
- So, you can come with me to Memphis if you want.
- Memphis? What do you got, another Elvis sighting? - Actually, it's an arson investigation.
When it comes to fireworks, I am the best.
Yes, I know, but I am not taking my boyfriend to a murder scene.
- How long you gonna be gone? - Uh,well, could be this afternoon, could be an overnighter.
I'm not really that sure.
- If you get stuck there, why don't I fly down and tuck you in? - Nope.
- Hey, I'll make you eggs for breakfast just the way you like them over, very nice and easy.
- Yup? - In fact, why don't I stop off in Atlanta on my way to Memphis, and we can have dinner? - That'd be great.
- That Italian place? - Yeah.
- 8:00? - Mm-hmm.
- Life is good.
- Yeah, it is.
- Give me some of that.
- Tell me, why are we here? - It was an old friend.
- I see.
You owe him.
Oh, Malone.
Thanks for coming.
I think this one's a little bit out of our league.
- Sam Waters, John Grant, this is Captain Ray Laundry.
Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
- Call me Ray.
Malone and I been knowing each other forever.
- Hasn't been that long, has it? - I'm gonna need to speak to the first officer on the scene.
- He's right outside.
- Great.
- So, what do you got for us? - Fear, Malone.
Nothing but fear.
Come on.
Name's Noah Becker.
Moved here from Atlanta about 10 years ago to be near his daughter.
He's retired.
Used to play with my nephew Donny.
Fixed his bike, toys, stuff like that.
- Nice guy - Yeah.
We're worried about Donny, though.
He's been real quiet since Becker got killed.
Could he have seen something? - No.
Donny was at home when this happened.
Sure loved Becker, though.
All the kids did.
- Is that how you found the door? - Yeah.
- Anything on the prints? - We dusted everything from the toilet seats to the cereal boxes.
Only found Becker's.
Guy must've been wearing a latex suit.
- Is there a murder weapon? - No.
M.
E.
Says he used two knives picked him up, rode him like a jackhammer.
- Let's bag those for evidence, Ray.
- Yeah.
- Bailey you should see this.
- Awful small shoeprint.
- Is your nephew here? We're gonna need to talk to him in Atlanta.
- Ok.
- He was the local Mr.
Green Jeans.
Everybody loved him.
Nobody wanted to see him hurt.
- Just dead, huh? He was retired.
Exec for Smith-Kern, which is an oil company here in the south.
He was a widower.
nest egg.
- Let's check to see if any of them are in any kind of debt or any kind of trouble.
You think Becker was targeted or random? - I don't think it was about him.
It's too violent too brutal.
It's too much of a show.
- Becker may have been the target, but I think there's more going on here than that.
- Looks deliberate.
- Nothing's out of place.
- An organized killer.
- See that? Getting the hang of this stuff, huh? - But he didn't bring his own weapon.
He used what was handy, and he left the back door wide open.
- Sherlock? - Um, he left in a hurry? - Probably.
That and it was an invitation.
It was sort of a "come on in and see what I've done.
" He took a lot of pride in his killing.
Very comfortable.
He really enjoyed himself.
- I think we're missing something.
- Like what? - I don't know, but he spent a lot of time here.
He must've done something else.
- Sam, Ray's here with Donny.
- Hi.
You must be Donny.
My name is Sam.
How was your trip? - He's never this shy.
- Would you like something to drink, Donny? You thirsty? I bet Uncle Ray knows what kind of soda you like.
- We'll be back.
- This is pretty scary stuff, huh? You know, I remember one time when something really terrible happened to a good friend of mine.
I had to go down to the police station and tell them what I knew.
And I didn't want to go, and I was really scared.
- I just kept hoping that it was a bad dream and that any minute I was going to be able to wake up and my friend would be at home and we would be able to play together again just like nothing bad had happened.
- It's ok.
You didn't do anything wrong.
- You promise you won't tell my mom? - I promise I won't do anything to get you into trouble.
- Well my mom told me not to go to his house because it was dark.
But I snuck out and went anyway.
I had to have my laser gun.
He fixed it for me.
Then I saw him.
- You saw Mr.
Becker? - No.
The scary man outside.
He was big, and he had this scary face.
I didn't say anything when I got home.
And now Papa Doc is dead.
- Who? Mr.
Papa Doc.
He fixed our toys.
He played with us and everything.
- Donny, do you think that you could describe the man that you saw so that we could draw a picture of him? - Yeah.
- Here you go.
- He did great.
He's gonna be able to help us out a lot.
Excuse me.
Could you excuse me for just a minute? - Hey, looks like Becker played the ponies, went to the track a couple of times a week.
- That isn't why he was killed.
- You ok? - No.
- Sam? NOW I CAN KILL.
- Jack.
- I knew Becker.
- What are you talking about? - We used to call him "Papa Doc".
I didn't put it together until Donny said it.
When I was a little girl, Becker was the nice man who used to fix my toys, too.
- "Now I can kill.
" What does that mean? - I don't know, but it's not a coincidence.
Nothing with Jack is coincidence.
- Why Becker? - I have no idea.
- So you haven't seen Becker in, what, over 25 years? - Yeah.
I didn't even know him as Becker.
I knew him as Papa Doc.
I must've been about four years old, and then we moved when I was five or six.
He lived down the block.
He had three children of his own, two boys and a girl.
Anyway, Becker was the neighborhood fix-it guy.
Anything went wrong, you just took it to Papa Doc.
- Hey.
- Look, I'm sorry.
I just forgot.
- Yeah, well, you know, I'm, like, trying to do some kind of guy thing here and be cool, like I'm not supposed to be disappointed, but but it ain't working.
- Look, Coop, I'm sorry I got really busy.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
I'm just in the middle of a case.
- I know what that's like.
- Damn it, Sam, why do I feel like the enemy all of a sudden? - Look, you know, I really don't think that this is a good time for this, ok? - When is a good time? - Coop, I've apologized.
I really don't know what else you want me to do.
- Not a thing.
I shouldn't have come.
- Sam! Donny's working with the sketch artist.
- Just I'll be right back.
- Coop! Damn it.
- Ooh.
God, Bailey, you scared me.
- Well, you should be.
What the hell are you doing? - I know.
I just left my card upstairs.
- Yeah.
You're downstairs alone, no weapon.
What are you thinking, Sam? - I know, I know.
Look, Bailey, I've been thinking about it, and I think that we should go back to the Becker crime scene and go over that place with a microscope.
Jack may have left another message there.
- Already on it.
The sketch from Donny's coming along very well.
- What does he look like? - He's average height, beard no distinguishing characteristics.
NOW I CAN KILL.
- Oh, my god.
- He was in here.
Bailey, he was in here! Chloe I got I have to get home.
- You can't go home, Sam.
- I have to go home! - We need this evidence.
- You want your evidence? - Here's your evidence.
- I need this yesterday.
- Don, George! Command Center! Now! Steve, take forensics to the garage! - Right away.
- Hello, Jack.
- Look how fast they're growing.
- Wow.
Those are growing fast, huh? - I'm gonna put some more in there so they have some friends.
- Ok.
- Which ones are these gonna be stalagmites or tagmites? - These are stalagmites.
- Mmm.
I can never tell the difference.
- Sure, you can.
- Mom! - Hey.
- Ohh.
It is easy to remember the difference between these guys.
You see, the stalagmite has the letter "m," and "m" stands for might, as in the stalagmite might grow up from the ground into a mountain.
- I got it, mom.
- Did you? Good.
- Where did you get this? - At the toy store.
You know, right next to the art supply place.
I had to pick up some things.
- But you bought it, right? I mean, nobody gave it to you? - Yeah.
We bought it.
- Ok, listen up, people! We're implementing operation Eagle Eye immediately! - "Eagle Eye" is a drop-dead last resort in case a team is ever in danger.
- Jack's in Atlanta.
He infiltrated downstairs.
George, I want level-10 video surveillance engaged at the firehouse, including family quarters.
I'll tell Sam it's in effect.
John - Move, George! Now! - Yep.
- John, roll out five surveillance vehicles on Sam's block one on each corner, one circling at all times.
This may be it, people! Let's move! - Why don't I give you a bath, then you can drift off to dreamland.
- I can give myself a bath, mom.
- Aww.
Let your mom give you a bath.
I'll let you use my new bath gel.
- Okay.
- Go on.
- He's back, isn't he? - I have forensics back at the crime scene going over every heartbeat one more time.
John, I don't care.
Call Washington.
Have them overnight their entire forensics lab.
When we're done with that scene, I want to know what kind of shampoo Jack uses.
- Yeah.
You're assuming this slug showers.
How long has he been taunting Sam? - "Taunt" isn't the word I'd use.
- Why? What do you mean? - Victim 13 that's her husband.
- Jack killed Tom? - That's why she left the Bureau, part of the reason why she's here to help get the bastard.
- All this security is not because Jack's back, is it? There's more.
- Yeah.
- So are you going to tell me, or do I have to wait until James Bond lands on the roof? - The case that we're working on the man that he killed I knew him.
- What? - I knew him when I was a child.
It was, um, before I met you.
- Well, this isn't a coincidence? - No.
- What is all this stuff? - These are murder books on each of Jack's victims.
- You have your own copies at home? And pictures? I don't believe you.
- Angel? - What? - Does the name Rose Harrison Well, actually, her maiden name was Rosie Nelson.
Does that mean anything to you? - She ran our bookmobile, Sam.
- What if I knew them all? - I didn't know her as Rose Harrison.
I knew her as Rosie Nelson.
- She was victim 15, murdered in '94.
This is when we were off the case.
Are you sure on this one? - Yeah.
Every Wednesday, the bookmobile would come to the grocery store in our town.
Angel and I spent hours there.
Rosie used to let me check out extra books.
I'm sure.
- What order are we doing this in? Victim, cause of death,location? What? - Basic time line, basic stats.
Think of it as finals week.
- Where's the keg? - You ready, George? - Yep.
Ok, I got them.
- Jack killed all of these people.
They were librarians, postal workers, mothers, fathers.
Victim 13 victim 13 was my husband, and I also knew victims 15 and 18, both from when I was a child.
- Do you think you knew all of them, Sam? - We don't know.
We've never been able to find a pattern to what he does how he chooses his victims, how he kills them.
He never kills the same way twice.
If Sam is the link, then we've found the common thread.
- You didn't actually join the case until when, uh, '91? - Yeah.
Donald Franklin.
He was the eighth victim.
You think we should start there? - Not good enough.
I want to start with his first victim at least the first victim we know about.
George? - March 1988.
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Janice Fletcher, 37, mother of four, strangled in the kitchen when she was putting away groceries.
- Left on the countertop was a children's book on the Golden Role.
It was Jack's first message.
- How do you know it wasn't one of her kids' books? - That's what we thought at first.
Then, when I brought Sam on the case, she went back and found that he left a message at every scene.
- June '88, Jack's second victim.
- Davy McClintock, 28, Monroe, Ohio 30 miles southeast of Cincinnati.
Davy worked with young boys at a summer camp.
He was found stabbed to death in a chapel.
In one of the pews, a bible was opened to the scripture, "suffer the little children to come unto me.
" - So what's the connection here? - Luck.
Local cop was dating the detective working Fletcher's case.
He had mentioned that the ligature she was strangled with was an electrical cord.
It was found that McClintock's hands were bound with the same type of cord.
- Next is February '89.
Bill Watkins.
- Omaha, Nebraska.
Still no similarities - December 1990, victim number 6.
Maude Martin, began showing signs of remorse.
He stabbed her to death with an ice pick, then covered her face before dragging her body down near a lake.
- He didn't want her to see him - He's getting smarter now, more careful.
- Next, Los Angeles.
Number 8.
This is when I brought Sam in.
- May '91.
Donald Franklin, 19, drowned.
- Found chained to the bottom of a swimming pool.
- What was the message here? - It was the first thing that I noticed at the crime scene.
It was a paperback a murder-mystery set in Ohio.
- The victim was strangled with an orange electrical cord.
- Victim 11.
Doctor Dexter Nelson, 61, Fairfield, Alabama, February '92.
- I remember this one.
It was all over the news.
Jack did surgery on this guy.
- He was showing off.
It's also the first time he directed a message specifically to Sam.
- Yeah, this was the first one we found with a black light.
HI SAM.
- Then he started calling me, sending me flowers.
- And he kept killing.
Vera Lewis, victim number 12.
September '92.
- 35, postal worker, Jackson, Mississippi.
- Is this the one with the dog? - Lewis was injected with an active strain of rabies virus.
- Jack strangled her dog with its own leash - Drove her home, dumped them both in the front yard.
seven days later, she died of rabid asphyxiation.
- Victim um 13.
- Excuse me.
- When I was a little girl I fell into this patch of poison ivy once,and it was horrible.
Uh, my my eyes swelled shut and I couldn't see and I couldn't eat or sleep.
It hurt me so bad, my mother she couldn't even touch me.
She just, uh she just kept saying "Hold on, Sam.
This isn't gonna last forever.
" She said that, uh every time I thought about how badly it burned, I was a heartbeat closer to the moment when it would be gone.
- Hold on, Sam.
- What if he doesn't like the movie that I go see? Is he gonna kill the kid who sold the ticket? - Bailey, I think I want to take a closer look at victim number 9.
- Patty Hoffstadt? - Yeah.
After I came on board, Donald Franklin was the first victim where I figured out that Jack was sending us messages.
Patty was number two for me.
- Did you know her? - I hope not.
- Hello, Ms.
Waters.
Please, come in.
- Thank you for seeing me.
- I always wanted to thank you.
You were very kind to us when Patty died.
I know we weren't easy.
- Mrs.
Hoffstadt - But especially for the note you sent us.
- Note? - In your Christmas card.
The first Christmas was horrible.
You made it a little more bearable.
- I'm very sorry, Mrs.
Hoffstadt.
Actually, that's why I'm here.
We're going over the cases again, and I was wondering if you had kept Patty's things.
I'd like to go through them again.
- Of course.
- Patty Hoffstadt and I took ballet together in the first grade.
- This makes 4 out of 18.
- Yeah.
And I didn't send them a Christmas card, Bailey.
- Jack.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, I keep thinking, uh do you remember when the L.
A.
Press misquoted me and said that I called him a "Homicidal Jack-of-all-Trades"? I didn't say that, but, you know, they said that I did and, uh, he started to show signs of remorse, you know, I keep thinking that maybe he would've stopped killing, but then I came along, I gave him this identity.
I feel like I gave him a purpose.
- Jack's the one responsible, not you.
Now, let's not overreact on this.
- Overreact? You think that I am over-reacting? The guy is killing people that I knew in grade school, Bailey! Maybe, you know, maybe you should try overreacting! - Move! FBI! Up against the fence! - Hey! Wait a minute! I'm A.
T.
F.
! - I don't care who you are! - He's a friend.
It's all right.
- You got better protection than Hillary Clinton here.
Give me my badge.
Put the gun down! - What's going on? What's going on? - I'll tell you.
- Listen so if nobody is safe let me help.
- Nick, you have to testify in court, remember? - Yeah.
- What time is your train? - It's in an hour, but I could probably do it next week or something.
I could call in.
- I don't want you near me right now.
- Sam, I'm not afraid of this guy.
I take apart bombs for a living, I can damn straight deal with a piece of dirt like this.
- I know.
It's just that I think that the closer you are to me, the more danger we're both in so go to Memphis, ok? - Yeah, I'll go to Memphis but I'm coming back.
- Ok.
- Clown clown - Any luck? - No, not yet.
"Now I can kill.
" Who is he going to kill? - That's the question.
- Did you run the infinite program? - Twice.
- And? - Um, nothing.
- Maybe you missed something.
- George highlight victim number 11.
- That's the doctor that delivered you.
- That makes five.
- "Now I can kill.
" There's got to be something there.
- Come on, the guy's not going to send us a message telling us who the next lucky contestant is.
- Ok, look, let's start with a clean slate, ok? - Ok.
First I married all of the vowels with each of the consonants, trying to come up with some combination that makes any sense at all.
Now, normally, what that does - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Put it back where it was.
- Now highlight the first letter of each word.
- Coop is next.
- Excuse me.
Is that seat taken? - No.
- Ahh.
- And I said, that ain't no possum, that's my fiance.
- You know, I love Memphis.
- Never been.
- Oh? Graceland, right? - Elvis.
Long live the king.
"Are you lonesome tonight?" - Heartache.
Nothing but heartache.
- Ladies and gentlemen, listen up! There's a better-than-nothing chance Jack's at Brookwood station! I want a chopper on us all the way.
- Joey, get me snipers and wire them! I want all four sides of the station scoped! - The lane closed back-up five minutes away from the station.
Everybody is wired on the same frequency.
Tell them we're ten minutes away.
- Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen! - It's time for a take down! - I'm single.
You? - The same but there is one lady in my life.
- Actually, there's a lady in my life - You got the time? - It's 10:32.
- Pass me a hunk of that paper, boss.
I got to use the bathroom.
- You got it.
- I'll be back in a second.
- Hold it.
- No.
- Is that too much? - Now, use some soap.
- No, daddy.
No.
- Fan out.
Take your positions.
- Right.
Yes, sir.
- Bailey, the guy in the blue windbreaker.
Coop's right behind him.
- John, move in.
- I got him.
- Ahh.
Hey, man.
- Hey, man.
What you doing here? - We got plainclothes all over the place.
- What's going on? - Read the sports? - I already read 'em.
- Read them again.
- We think he's here looking for you.
- You seen him? - Oh, my god.
Man, he's in the john.
He's been in about five minutes.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Yeah? - Just calm down, - Yeah.
- All right? - Yeah.
- I need you to calm down.
- Okay.
- I know how you feel about it.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- He told me he was going to the bathroom! - I understand that.
What I need you to do is calm down.
I need you to stay out here, I need you to scan the crowd, because he may have come back out here.
Ok? - Okay.
- You with me? - Yeah, yeah.
I'm with you.
- Ok? - I got it, I got it, I got it.
I got it, I got it.
- Keep in touch.
- Yeah.
- Let me help you there, brother.
- Thank you.
- You see him? You close? - We're right behind you Coop.
Just stay put.
Bring in the next back-up, John.
Now.
- Got a body in here.
No Jack.
Just me and Mr.
Lucky.
- Where the hell is he? - No way.
He's here.
- All plainclothes, cover interior exits, the rest press out.
- Okay.
I had the guy.
He was sitting right next to me.
- Coop, go outside, please.
Enough.
- I'm not going anywhere till we got this guy! - Coop, please, you can make it please, go outside, all right? - All right.
You be careful.
- mm-hmm.
- Samantha.
- Finally.
Samantha.
- You smell so clean.
- Talk to me.
Come on.
Talk to me.
- You brought me here.
Why don't you talk to me? - I like that.
That's good.
- I wouldn't be here if I wasn't good, now, would I? - Neither would I.
- So beautiful.
So untouchable.
Don't worry.
Everything's under control.
- Is it? - Isn't it? - Why did you choose me? - eny-meeny-miny-moe.
- Why me?! - Because I know thy work, thy labor, and thy patience.
And I know thou canst not bear those who do evil.
- Sam! - Don't answer.
This is our time.
- You speak in nursery rhymes, you speak in scripture.
Why don't you use your own voice? - I need you, Samantha.
I'll waste away without you.
- Then I'll leave again.
- You'll never leave.
Don't you remember? You left your first love to be with me.
- Don't you say that! Don't you say that! - I've upset you.
I'm sorry.
- You will never have me! - You know that isn't true.
- You will never have me! - Sam, where are you? - Bailey, I'm here! - We lost him.
- No.
He's here.
- We searched everywhere! He's gone.
- Sam, he's gone.
- No, he's not gone! He's here, all right? I saw him.
I felt him.
He is here.
- So when's your plane? - It's in a few hours.
But I guess I might as well be hitting the road, huh? - You know how I feel, don't you? - Yeah.
And you know how I feel.
Ain't love grand? - No.
Not when you can never be alone with each other.
Not when your every move's videotaped, even in your own home.
That's not love, - No.
No, it's not.
But it's not us, either.
It's just what's around when we're together.
You know I'm here for you, right, Sammy? - I mean it.
Anytime, day or night.
You just pick up the phone, I'll be here.
- Ok.
- You take care.
- You, too.
- Sam, good news.
The man that Jack killed at the train station Grace just found a print near his collarbone, and it's not the victim's.
Why don't you come see? synced after a bottle of tequila.
blame alcohol for any errors:P
What are you doing out so late? - Mom said I could pick up my laser gun as long as I came right home.
Is it ready? - It sure is.
- Here we go.
- It was one little wire just snapped.
That happens with sophisticated weaponry.
- Thanks, papa doc.
You're the greatest.
- You get on home now.
- Go! - Oh!Oh, what was that? I keep losing.
- I keep ending up on top.
This is such a great game.
- You have great eyes.
- You have a great nose.
You do.
- That's me.
Oh, I gotta go.
- Cereal? - No.
I don't have time.
My mother always said breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
- Your mother was a very wise woman.
- You want the orange juice or the apple juice? - Uh, I'll take the apple.
- You know,uh, Lafayette, Louisiana is probably my most favorite city in the entire western world.
- Oh, that's great.
I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
- So, you can come with me to Memphis if you want.
- Memphis? What do you got, another Elvis sighting? - Actually, it's an arson investigation.
When it comes to fireworks, I am the best.
Yes, I know, but I am not taking my boyfriend to a murder scene.
- How long you gonna be gone? - Uh,well, could be this afternoon, could be an overnighter.
I'm not really that sure.
- If you get stuck there, why don't I fly down and tuck you in? - Nope.
- Hey, I'll make you eggs for breakfast just the way you like them over, very nice and easy.
- Yup? - In fact, why don't I stop off in Atlanta on my way to Memphis, and we can have dinner? - That'd be great.
- That Italian place? - Yeah.
- 8:00? - Mm-hmm.
- Life is good.
- Yeah, it is.
- Give me some of that.
- Tell me, why are we here? - It was an old friend.
- I see.
You owe him.
Oh, Malone.
Thanks for coming.
I think this one's a little bit out of our league.
- Sam Waters, John Grant, this is Captain Ray Laundry.
Pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
- Call me Ray.
Malone and I been knowing each other forever.
- Hasn't been that long, has it? - I'm gonna need to speak to the first officer on the scene.
- He's right outside.
- Great.
- So, what do you got for us? - Fear, Malone.
Nothing but fear.
Come on.
Name's Noah Becker.
Moved here from Atlanta about 10 years ago to be near his daughter.
He's retired.
Used to play with my nephew Donny.
Fixed his bike, toys, stuff like that.
- Nice guy - Yeah.
We're worried about Donny, though.
He's been real quiet since Becker got killed.
Could he have seen something? - No.
Donny was at home when this happened.
Sure loved Becker, though.
All the kids did.
- Is that how you found the door? - Yeah.
- Anything on the prints? - We dusted everything from the toilet seats to the cereal boxes.
Only found Becker's.
Guy must've been wearing a latex suit.
- Is there a murder weapon? - No.
M.
E.
Says he used two knives picked him up, rode him like a jackhammer.
- Let's bag those for evidence, Ray.
- Yeah.
- Bailey you should see this.
- Awful small shoeprint.
- Is your nephew here? We're gonna need to talk to him in Atlanta.
- Ok.
- He was the local Mr.
Green Jeans.
Everybody loved him.
Nobody wanted to see him hurt.
- Just dead, huh? He was retired.
Exec for Smith-Kern, which is an oil company here in the south.
He was a widower.
nest egg.
- Let's check to see if any of them are in any kind of debt or any kind of trouble.
You think Becker was targeted or random? - I don't think it was about him.
It's too violent too brutal.
It's too much of a show.
- Becker may have been the target, but I think there's more going on here than that.
- Looks deliberate.
- Nothing's out of place.
- An organized killer.
- See that? Getting the hang of this stuff, huh? - But he didn't bring his own weapon.
He used what was handy, and he left the back door wide open.
- Sherlock? - Um, he left in a hurry? - Probably.
That and it was an invitation.
It was sort of a "come on in and see what I've done.
" He took a lot of pride in his killing.
Very comfortable.
He really enjoyed himself.
- I think we're missing something.
- Like what? - I don't know, but he spent a lot of time here.
He must've done something else.
- Sam, Ray's here with Donny.
- Hi.
You must be Donny.
My name is Sam.
How was your trip? - He's never this shy.
- Would you like something to drink, Donny? You thirsty? I bet Uncle Ray knows what kind of soda you like.
- We'll be back.
- This is pretty scary stuff, huh? You know, I remember one time when something really terrible happened to a good friend of mine.
I had to go down to the police station and tell them what I knew.
And I didn't want to go, and I was really scared.
- I just kept hoping that it was a bad dream and that any minute I was going to be able to wake up and my friend would be at home and we would be able to play together again just like nothing bad had happened.
- It's ok.
You didn't do anything wrong.
- You promise you won't tell my mom? - I promise I won't do anything to get you into trouble.
- Well my mom told me not to go to his house because it was dark.
But I snuck out and went anyway.
I had to have my laser gun.
He fixed it for me.
Then I saw him.
- You saw Mr.
Becker? - No.
The scary man outside.
He was big, and he had this scary face.
I didn't say anything when I got home.
And now Papa Doc is dead.
- Who? Mr.
Papa Doc.
He fixed our toys.
He played with us and everything.
- Donny, do you think that you could describe the man that you saw so that we could draw a picture of him? - Yeah.
- Here you go.
- He did great.
He's gonna be able to help us out a lot.
Excuse me.
Could you excuse me for just a minute? - Hey, looks like Becker played the ponies, went to the track a couple of times a week.
- That isn't why he was killed.
- You ok? - No.
- Sam? NOW I CAN KILL.
- Jack.
- I knew Becker.
- What are you talking about? - We used to call him "Papa Doc".
I didn't put it together until Donny said it.
When I was a little girl, Becker was the nice man who used to fix my toys, too.
- "Now I can kill.
" What does that mean? - I don't know, but it's not a coincidence.
Nothing with Jack is coincidence.
- Why Becker? - I have no idea.
- So you haven't seen Becker in, what, over 25 years? - Yeah.
I didn't even know him as Becker.
I knew him as Papa Doc.
I must've been about four years old, and then we moved when I was five or six.
He lived down the block.
He had three children of his own, two boys and a girl.
Anyway, Becker was the neighborhood fix-it guy.
Anything went wrong, you just took it to Papa Doc.
- Hey.
- Look, I'm sorry.
I just forgot.
- Yeah, well, you know, I'm, like, trying to do some kind of guy thing here and be cool, like I'm not supposed to be disappointed, but but it ain't working.
- Look, Coop, I'm sorry I got really busy.
- What's going on? - Nothing.
I'm just in the middle of a case.
- I know what that's like.
- Damn it, Sam, why do I feel like the enemy all of a sudden? - Look, you know, I really don't think that this is a good time for this, ok? - When is a good time? - Coop, I've apologized.
I really don't know what else you want me to do.
- Not a thing.
I shouldn't have come.
- Sam! Donny's working with the sketch artist.
- Just I'll be right back.
- Coop! Damn it.
- Ooh.
God, Bailey, you scared me.
- Well, you should be.
What the hell are you doing? - I know.
I just left my card upstairs.
- Yeah.
You're downstairs alone, no weapon.
What are you thinking, Sam? - I know, I know.
Look, Bailey, I've been thinking about it, and I think that we should go back to the Becker crime scene and go over that place with a microscope.
Jack may have left another message there.
- Already on it.
The sketch from Donny's coming along very well.
- What does he look like? - He's average height, beard no distinguishing characteristics.
NOW I CAN KILL.
- Oh, my god.
- He was in here.
Bailey, he was in here! Chloe I got I have to get home.
- You can't go home, Sam.
- I have to go home! - We need this evidence.
- You want your evidence? - Here's your evidence.
- I need this yesterday.
- Don, George! Command Center! Now! Steve, take forensics to the garage! - Right away.
- Hello, Jack.
- Look how fast they're growing.
- Wow.
Those are growing fast, huh? - I'm gonna put some more in there so they have some friends.
- Ok.
- Which ones are these gonna be stalagmites or tagmites? - These are stalagmites.
- Mmm.
I can never tell the difference.
- Sure, you can.
- Mom! - Hey.
- Ohh.
It is easy to remember the difference between these guys.
You see, the stalagmite has the letter "m," and "m" stands for might, as in the stalagmite might grow up from the ground into a mountain.
- I got it, mom.
- Did you? Good.
- Where did you get this? - At the toy store.
You know, right next to the art supply place.
I had to pick up some things.
- But you bought it, right? I mean, nobody gave it to you? - Yeah.
We bought it.
- Ok, listen up, people! We're implementing operation Eagle Eye immediately! - "Eagle Eye" is a drop-dead last resort in case a team is ever in danger.
- Jack's in Atlanta.
He infiltrated downstairs.
George, I want level-10 video surveillance engaged at the firehouse, including family quarters.
I'll tell Sam it's in effect.
John - Move, George! Now! - Yep.
- John, roll out five surveillance vehicles on Sam's block one on each corner, one circling at all times.
This may be it, people! Let's move! - Why don't I give you a bath, then you can drift off to dreamland.
- I can give myself a bath, mom.
- Aww.
Let your mom give you a bath.
I'll let you use my new bath gel.
- Okay.
- Go on.
- He's back, isn't he? - I have forensics back at the crime scene going over every heartbeat one more time.
John, I don't care.
Call Washington.
Have them overnight their entire forensics lab.
When we're done with that scene, I want to know what kind of shampoo Jack uses.
- Yeah.
You're assuming this slug showers.
How long has he been taunting Sam? - "Taunt" isn't the word I'd use.
- Why? What do you mean? - Victim 13 that's her husband.
- Jack killed Tom? - That's why she left the Bureau, part of the reason why she's here to help get the bastard.
- All this security is not because Jack's back, is it? There's more.
- Yeah.
- So are you going to tell me, or do I have to wait until James Bond lands on the roof? - The case that we're working on the man that he killed I knew him.
- What? - I knew him when I was a child.
It was, um, before I met you.
- Well, this isn't a coincidence? - No.
- What is all this stuff? - These are murder books on each of Jack's victims.
- You have your own copies at home? And pictures? I don't believe you.
- Angel? - What? - Does the name Rose Harrison Well, actually, her maiden name was Rosie Nelson.
Does that mean anything to you? - She ran our bookmobile, Sam.
- What if I knew them all? - I didn't know her as Rose Harrison.
I knew her as Rosie Nelson.
- She was victim 15, murdered in '94.
This is when we were off the case.
Are you sure on this one? - Yeah.
Every Wednesday, the bookmobile would come to the grocery store in our town.
Angel and I spent hours there.
Rosie used to let me check out extra books.
I'm sure.
- What order are we doing this in? Victim, cause of death,location? What? - Basic time line, basic stats.
Think of it as finals week.
- Where's the keg? - You ready, George? - Yep.
Ok, I got them.
- Jack killed all of these people.
They were librarians, postal workers, mothers, fathers.
Victim 13 victim 13 was my husband, and I also knew victims 15 and 18, both from when I was a child.
- Do you think you knew all of them, Sam? - We don't know.
We've never been able to find a pattern to what he does how he chooses his victims, how he kills them.
He never kills the same way twice.
If Sam is the link, then we've found the common thread.
- You didn't actually join the case until when, uh, '91? - Yeah.
Donald Franklin.
He was the eighth victim.
You think we should start there? - Not good enough.
I want to start with his first victim at least the first victim we know about.
George? - March 1988.
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Janice Fletcher, 37, mother of four, strangled in the kitchen when she was putting away groceries.
- Left on the countertop was a children's book on the Golden Role.
It was Jack's first message.
- How do you know it wasn't one of her kids' books? - That's what we thought at first.
Then, when I brought Sam on the case, she went back and found that he left a message at every scene.
- June '88, Jack's second victim.
- Davy McClintock, 28, Monroe, Ohio 30 miles southeast of Cincinnati.
Davy worked with young boys at a summer camp.
He was found stabbed to death in a chapel.
In one of the pews, a bible was opened to the scripture, "suffer the little children to come unto me.
" - So what's the connection here? - Luck.
Local cop was dating the detective working Fletcher's case.
He had mentioned that the ligature she was strangled with was an electrical cord.
It was found that McClintock's hands were bound with the same type of cord.
- Next is February '89.
Bill Watkins.
- Omaha, Nebraska.
Still no similarities - December 1990, victim number 6.
Maude Martin, began showing signs of remorse.
He stabbed her to death with an ice pick, then covered her face before dragging her body down near a lake.
- He didn't want her to see him - He's getting smarter now, more careful.
- Next, Los Angeles.
Number 8.
This is when I brought Sam in.
- May '91.
Donald Franklin, 19, drowned.
- Found chained to the bottom of a swimming pool.
- What was the message here? - It was the first thing that I noticed at the crime scene.
It was a paperback a murder-mystery set in Ohio.
- The victim was strangled with an orange electrical cord.
- Victim 11.
Doctor Dexter Nelson, 61, Fairfield, Alabama, February '92.
- I remember this one.
It was all over the news.
Jack did surgery on this guy.
- He was showing off.
It's also the first time he directed a message specifically to Sam.
- Yeah, this was the first one we found with a black light.
HI SAM.
- Then he started calling me, sending me flowers.
- And he kept killing.
Vera Lewis, victim number 12.
September '92.
- 35, postal worker, Jackson, Mississippi.
- Is this the one with the dog? - Lewis was injected with an active strain of rabies virus.
- Jack strangled her dog with its own leash - Drove her home, dumped them both in the front yard.
seven days later, she died of rabid asphyxiation.
- Victim um 13.
- Excuse me.
- When I was a little girl I fell into this patch of poison ivy once,and it was horrible.
Uh, my my eyes swelled shut and I couldn't see and I couldn't eat or sleep.
It hurt me so bad, my mother she couldn't even touch me.
She just, uh she just kept saying "Hold on, Sam.
This isn't gonna last forever.
" She said that, uh every time I thought about how badly it burned, I was a heartbeat closer to the moment when it would be gone.
- Hold on, Sam.
- What if he doesn't like the movie that I go see? Is he gonna kill the kid who sold the ticket? - Bailey, I think I want to take a closer look at victim number 9.
- Patty Hoffstadt? - Yeah.
After I came on board, Donald Franklin was the first victim where I figured out that Jack was sending us messages.
Patty was number two for me.
- Did you know her? - I hope not.
- Hello, Ms.
Waters.
Please, come in.
- Thank you for seeing me.
- I always wanted to thank you.
You were very kind to us when Patty died.
I know we weren't easy.
- Mrs.
Hoffstadt - But especially for the note you sent us.
- Note? - In your Christmas card.
The first Christmas was horrible.
You made it a little more bearable.
- I'm very sorry, Mrs.
Hoffstadt.
Actually, that's why I'm here.
We're going over the cases again, and I was wondering if you had kept Patty's things.
I'd like to go through them again.
- Of course.
- Patty Hoffstadt and I took ballet together in the first grade.
- This makes 4 out of 18.
- Yeah.
And I didn't send them a Christmas card, Bailey.
- Jack.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, I keep thinking, uh do you remember when the L.
A.
Press misquoted me and said that I called him a "Homicidal Jack-of-all-Trades"? I didn't say that, but, you know, they said that I did and, uh, he started to show signs of remorse, you know, I keep thinking that maybe he would've stopped killing, but then I came along, I gave him this identity.
I feel like I gave him a purpose.
- Jack's the one responsible, not you.
Now, let's not overreact on this.
- Overreact? You think that I am over-reacting? The guy is killing people that I knew in grade school, Bailey! Maybe, you know, maybe you should try overreacting! - Move! FBI! Up against the fence! - Hey! Wait a minute! I'm A.
T.
F.
! - I don't care who you are! - He's a friend.
It's all right.
- You got better protection than Hillary Clinton here.
Give me my badge.
Put the gun down! - What's going on? What's going on? - I'll tell you.
- Listen so if nobody is safe let me help.
- Nick, you have to testify in court, remember? - Yeah.
- What time is your train? - It's in an hour, but I could probably do it next week or something.
I could call in.
- I don't want you near me right now.
- Sam, I'm not afraid of this guy.
I take apart bombs for a living, I can damn straight deal with a piece of dirt like this.
- I know.
It's just that I think that the closer you are to me, the more danger we're both in so go to Memphis, ok? - Yeah, I'll go to Memphis but I'm coming back.
- Ok.
- Clown clown - Any luck? - No, not yet.
"Now I can kill.
" Who is he going to kill? - That's the question.
- Did you run the infinite program? - Twice.
- And? - Um, nothing.
- Maybe you missed something.
- George highlight victim number 11.
- That's the doctor that delivered you.
- That makes five.
- "Now I can kill.
" There's got to be something there.
- Come on, the guy's not going to send us a message telling us who the next lucky contestant is.
- Ok, look, let's start with a clean slate, ok? - Ok.
First I married all of the vowels with each of the consonants, trying to come up with some combination that makes any sense at all.
Now, normally, what that does - Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Put it back where it was.
- Now highlight the first letter of each word.
- Coop is next.
- Excuse me.
Is that seat taken? - No.
- Ahh.
- And I said, that ain't no possum, that's my fiance.
- You know, I love Memphis.
- Never been.
- Oh? Graceland, right? - Elvis.
Long live the king.
"Are you lonesome tonight?" - Heartache.
Nothing but heartache.
- Ladies and gentlemen, listen up! There's a better-than-nothing chance Jack's at Brookwood station! I want a chopper on us all the way.
- Joey, get me snipers and wire them! I want all four sides of the station scoped! - The lane closed back-up five minutes away from the station.
Everybody is wired on the same frequency.
Tell them we're ten minutes away.
- Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen! - It's time for a take down! - I'm single.
You? - The same but there is one lady in my life.
- Actually, there's a lady in my life - You got the time? - It's 10:32.
- Pass me a hunk of that paper, boss.
I got to use the bathroom.
- You got it.
- I'll be back in a second.
- Hold it.
- No.
- Is that too much? - Now, use some soap.
- No, daddy.
No.
- Fan out.
Take your positions.
- Right.
Yes, sir.
- Bailey, the guy in the blue windbreaker.
Coop's right behind him.
- John, move in.
- I got him.
- Ahh.
Hey, man.
- Hey, man.
What you doing here? - We got plainclothes all over the place.
- What's going on? - Read the sports? - I already read 'em.
- Read them again.
- We think he's here looking for you.
- You seen him? - Oh, my god.
Man, he's in the john.
He's been in about five minutes.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Yeah? - Just calm down, - Yeah.
- All right? - Yeah.
- I need you to calm down.
- Okay.
- I know how you feel about it.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- He told me he was going to the bathroom! - I understand that.
What I need you to do is calm down.
I need you to stay out here, I need you to scan the crowd, because he may have come back out here.
Ok? - Okay.
- You with me? - Yeah, yeah.
I'm with you.
- Ok? - I got it, I got it, I got it.
I got it, I got it.
- Keep in touch.
- Yeah.
- Let me help you there, brother.
- Thank you.
- You see him? You close? - We're right behind you Coop.
Just stay put.
Bring in the next back-up, John.
Now.
- Got a body in here.
No Jack.
Just me and Mr.
Lucky.
- Where the hell is he? - No way.
He's here.
- All plainclothes, cover interior exits, the rest press out.
- Okay.
I had the guy.
He was sitting right next to me.
- Coop, go outside, please.
Enough.
- I'm not going anywhere till we got this guy! - Coop, please, you can make it please, go outside, all right? - All right.
You be careful.
- mm-hmm.
- Samantha.
- Finally.
Samantha.
- You smell so clean.
- Talk to me.
Come on.
Talk to me.
- You brought me here.
Why don't you talk to me? - I like that.
That's good.
- I wouldn't be here if I wasn't good, now, would I? - Neither would I.
- So beautiful.
So untouchable.
Don't worry.
Everything's under control.
- Is it? - Isn't it? - Why did you choose me? - eny-meeny-miny-moe.
- Why me?! - Because I know thy work, thy labor, and thy patience.
And I know thou canst not bear those who do evil.
- Sam! - Don't answer.
This is our time.
- You speak in nursery rhymes, you speak in scripture.
Why don't you use your own voice? - I need you, Samantha.
I'll waste away without you.
- Then I'll leave again.
- You'll never leave.
Don't you remember? You left your first love to be with me.
- Don't you say that! Don't you say that! - I've upset you.
I'm sorry.
- You will never have me! - You know that isn't true.
- You will never have me! - Sam, where are you? - Bailey, I'm here! - We lost him.
- No.
He's here.
- We searched everywhere! He's gone.
- Sam, he's gone.
- No, he's not gone! He's here, all right? I saw him.
I felt him.
He is here.
- So when's your plane? - It's in a few hours.
But I guess I might as well be hitting the road, huh? - You know how I feel, don't you? - Yeah.
And you know how I feel.
Ain't love grand? - No.
Not when you can never be alone with each other.
Not when your every move's videotaped, even in your own home.
That's not love, - No.
No, it's not.
But it's not us, either.
It's just what's around when we're together.
You know I'm here for you, right, Sammy? - I mean it.
Anytime, day or night.
You just pick up the phone, I'll be here.
- Ok.
- You take care.
- You, too.
- Sam, good news.
The man that Jack killed at the train station Grace just found a print near his collarbone, and it's not the victim's.
Why don't you come see? synced after a bottle of tequila.
blame alcohol for any errors:P
