00:00You
00:30You
00:42We screwed up and Ernie's dead because of it
00:45Wrong about Mitch
00:47Wrong about Ernie. It's a hell of a profile. We might as well blow it up and start all over again
00:52well
00:54We got three victims now, so let's go to work
00:57Besides the way they looked there must have been something else. They hadn't come in why I have no idea just seem like something say
01:06They didn't belong to the same gym the same church
01:10The work that different places
01:12waitress
01:13Bookstore clerk record store salesperson, okay?
01:16Let's assume. This is the kind of guy who just falls in love at the drop of a hat right all right
01:21Now did he come on to them or vice versa well?
01:25He said woman made him suffer, so I died so they came on to him, or maybe he thought they were coming on
01:32Got a waitress and two salespeople
01:35service jobs
01:37They serve him lunch. They find him a book
01:41Maybe they smile at him, and he thinks oh she loves me
01:45Maybe this guy was a regular customer at all the places the girls worked. We talked to the owner of Tracy's restaurant
01:51Yeah, but he wouldn't necessarily know who's a regular at the bookstore
01:56So who'd be familiar enough with the area that they'd know who all the regulars are
02:02Delivery guys mailman cabbies
02:06That could be Julian
02:09Hi, Tommy send out units on this call
02:15And so now you say that I'm perverted was the first word that came to mind well, then you take the responsibility
02:21She's dead. It's your fault. I thought we understood each other. I'd like to understand
02:27I don't know you wouldn't know I really would this must be eating you up
02:32You're a sensitive guy. You're a smart guy smart enough to know what you're trying to do
02:40Full booth 94th and first go
02:50Like
02:55It was never there I want patrols doubled from 89th and first to 96 and third you got it
03:03While they're doing that we start talking to cops on the beat delivery men might take a while
03:08But maybe one of them saw something you got Ernie on your conscience, and I got Beth Taylor
03:12I don't know maybe planting that quote in the paper drove him over the edge again if you called him st. Thomas Aquinas
03:18Let's get back to work
03:48You
03:58Signed the release for Chanel's body what you want it released for burial, don't you?
04:07She's just wrapped up in a sheet downstairs lying on a cold shelf
04:11That the way you want her to be buried in a sheet from the morgue no
04:16I'm you are a good mother. You loved your baby
04:20She shouldn't be cold and naked down there
04:23It's a mother's job to keep her child more
04:38My daughter loves butterflies
04:41In the summertime when she was a kid we'd take it at the park, and she'd run and try and catch him I
04:51Guess all kids have a thing for butterflies
04:58The Chanel was born in the winter
05:01And she died in the winter
05:03She'll never know what it's like to run after butterflies in the summertime
05:08Or how it feels to hold one in her hand
05:12So I thought maybe when she's buried it'd be nice if she had some butterflies with her
05:19Because she never got to see one
05:27What happened to shine
05:31She wouldn't stop crying
05:34I
05:37Didn't know what to do so you threw her in that dumpster and walked away
06:03Oh
06:22Just another baby killer a little younger than most of them but
06:30And I got to confess
06:32That's my job and I did it I can cash this week's paycheck
06:38Maybe you should take some time
06:42They haven't stopped killing each other
06:50You know Tanya got pregnant when she wasn't much older than Julianna's now I
06:54Can't really get past that. I wish I could just stop the clock and keep Julie the way she is
07:01Just want her to stay my little girl
07:05Connie I'm sorry about today
07:11We've been coming here Tuesdays and Thursdays for the last six months
07:16Feels like we're cheating on someone
07:19We're two unmarried people who are in love with each other and all we ever seem to do is
07:25I know I know we
07:28We see a movie
07:30We take Julianne to dinner and then I have to go home. I
07:35Can't have you stay over when she's there Michael and I respect that. I would never want to come between you two. I
07:44Just I
07:47Hate the fact that that badge comes between you and me
07:51Connie I want a place for me in your life and it's starting to feel like that's never gonna happen
07:57Michael
07:59We'll have our time. I promise when
08:06This is all I have right now I
08:11Love you
08:14This is all I have
08:16well
08:17I'm warning you
08:19According to the charts. I am supposed to have passed the peak of my sexual potency
08:24I don't know how much longer I'm gonna be able to continue to defy the odds
08:30Well, you can count on my help
08:46Okay, I
08:47Just walked 89 to first to 94th and third talk to six cabbies three newsstand guys five hot dog vendors
08:55Did you get anything?
08:56cholesterol
08:57You can't talk to five hot dog vendors and not test their wits. Oh, and now you're eating lunch. It's lunch time
09:05Did you talk to him?
09:08The mailman
09:18Tom this is Commissioner Scali. Hi Tom Eastbridge nice up there. Yeah
09:28Tom have you seen any of these women before?
09:35She looks familiar, it's Chris Camarena, she worked at Foster's bookstore on second
09:40Have you seen guys hanging around the bookstore that might be regulars and oak tree records or Ken's restaurant? No
09:48Do you have an idea what this guy looks like well, no we're on that
09:52He'll do it again. Probably guys like this usually driven by urges. They can't control
09:57Mean like he's programmed
09:59kind of
10:01So it's not really his fault
10:04No, we're not saying that he's not a robot
10:07I mean he can pick his spots and he's been smart enough to get away with it so far three murders
10:13Guess so
10:18Well, sorry I couldn't help
10:20Thanks
10:22Yeah, thanks
10:27You know off a lot of questions about the part Tony he's got the same shoes on we picked up in the footprint
10:43All right
10:48All right
10:51This could be the guy I don't know that right but it could be and if it is I don't want another victim on our
10:55Hands. All right. I'll stay with them
10:57What can we have these?
11:00Give me an hour. All right
11:02Listen Julian's gonna be getting home from school. I want to try and patch things up with okay fine. I'll check you out later
11:13Let's try to catch me running
11:17Whoa
11:27Hey, you're gonna go solo durante el dÃa yet. Oh look at the pasando. I see a jewel
11:37So embarrassing how long has this been going on I like him and now long Julianne a
11:45Couple of weeks
11:47It is to never happen again. We were just kissing no boys in this apartment unless Marsha
11:53I are here, you know that don't you trust me? I
11:56Thought I could
11:58I'm gonna go live with dad. You are not going to live with dad. You live here
12:04Why should I when you don't trust me? I'm not gonna get pregnant like you did. I don't want a baby to ruin my life
12:12Julie
12:15You're the most important thing in my life, are you kidding?
12:27Tom Dryden's worked for the Postal Service for eight and a half years
12:30No prior record lives on 93rd and 2nd with his mother and they've been pretty much inseparable all his life
12:36And there's a two-year period when he was between five and seven, but they both dropped out of sight. Thanks, Troy
12:45Hey, I guess things still aren't patched between you and Julianne
12:54Wars that ever got for me was
12:57David said he was tired of having to live up to being the police commissioner's son said he never wanted to talk to me again
13:03What'd you do told him fine? Just be sure to clean up your room once a month
13:08Hey
13:12My best work and in 58 minutes, what can I say you're a true artist?
13:23Well, correct me if I'm wrong pilgrims, but I don't see a gash on this so maybe he got a new pair of shoes
13:30Maybe if we get a warrant to search Tom's place we can find the old no judge is gonna issue a warrant without solid
13:35He's a grown man who lives with his mother. He says women have made him suffer women have made me suffer
13:41At least thought of full-scale surveillance. Come on, Tony. You run a department
13:45Would you allot that kind of money and manpower to a guy based on what we've got?
13:49What are you afraid of going out on a limb? Yes with you right now
13:52I am the city can't afford it Ernie Brackman's family just filed a 50 million dollar wrongful death
13:58You are old for two and you're grasping at straws
14:02Yeah, but if Tom is the guy he's gonna kill again, well then for God's sake stop him
14:07But you're gonna need more than half-baked psychological theories and a mismatched pair of shoes
14:15He's right
14:17Maybe we'll both like him with hearts. Oh, what if we're right?
14:22What you afraid of going out on a limb, too?
14:25Hurry up dear you'll be late for work. I'm not going in today. Aren't you feeling well? I'm just taking the day off
14:35You never wanted to tell me when you were sick, I'm fine mother don't worry
14:40You're always afraid. I'll take you to the doctor for a shot. Remember? Yes, I do
14:45Would you like to go to the museum this afternoon?
14:48You go out with your friends Tom. I'd have a better time if I were you
14:52You go out with your friends Tom, I'd have a better time with you that's sweet dear I now button up
15:07Want to go for breakfast we could go to Bobby's the way we used to I
15:14I
15:17Was thinking maybe Saturday
15:19We can go out for lunch. I'm gonna get your hair done. Then we can pick up you
15:23We can make all the plans you want, but then the phone's gonna ring and you'll be off again. So what's the point?
15:29The point is that I said we'll go get your hair done on Saturday. And that's what we're gonna do
15:34Now, do you want to go for breakfast or not?
15:37No
15:43I
15:55Gotta go
15:59Have a nice day
16:01Okay
16:04Let's go for breakfast
16:07Juliana I am sorry about the party. I feel really lousy about it
16:11But my job is my job and it puts food on this table. What do you want from me?
16:16I will never talk to you again
16:18I know I have to live here until I graduate but for the next three years
16:21I'm not gonna say a word and don't you talk to me?
16:27Well
16:29Since communication is stopping as of now once a month be sure and clean up your room
16:36Goodbye

17:29Can I brush that for you
17:32Thank You Barbara
17:36You're new here, aren't you? No, it just started yesterday
17:41Actress oh, is it that obvious?
17:47My name is Tom nice to meet you Tom I
17:50Was wondering could you wrap up one of those brownies to go a little snack for later on?
17:56It's for my mother. Oh, that's nice
17:59Most guys wouldn't even think of that
18:02Most guys don't have a mother like mine
18:06I
18:37I
18:43Thank you, you know, you have very nice hair
18:49Thank you, but you're bored of hearing it surprised I'm bored I'm not
18:57French lieutenant's woman. That is my favorite book. I have every book he wrote. Yeah
19:06Do you live alone
19:10I'm sorry. That was ungentlemanly
19:14Yeah, actually I live alone just around the block as a matter of fact
19:21And I'm off in 20 minutes
19:37I
19:39Do it great
19:40Once you get into the apartment, you'll be able to hear us on this
19:43Okay, try to get him to relax then mention the boyfriend. He'll view it as a rejection. Maybe it'll set him off. I
19:50Tried it for a year, but it wasn't for me
19:54Lucky you found out early. This is nice
19:58Most of its things from college
20:03Someday if I ever get a real job
20:06Can I get you a drink
20:17To your left, how long have you been acting? What? How long have you been acting? Oh
20:24Since sixth grade, I don't charge for seats Tom. I
20:30Did a lot of community theater and stuff
20:34And I finally decided to take the plunge and come out to New York I
20:40Don't see how you stand all the rejection. I
20:42Don't plan to have much
20:45To few rejections to nice guys
20:54Is that your brother my boyfriend he works in Providence you can meet on weekends
21:03You didn't tell me that you had a
21:06Ask him if he has a girlfriend. So do you date a lot?
21:11Tell him that's hard to believe I'm sure you're just being modest. No, I'm not I
21:16Don't date much because I don't believe in stringing people along
21:19I believe in telling the truth about my relationships
21:22That's how I was brought up to tell the truth and the truth isn't always what people want to hear
21:28Okay, don't have I don't have to get what I don't have to get angry
21:31He's going for it. What?
21:33Don't understand something
21:35Why did you bring me up here?
21:37Would you seem like a nice cuz I seem like someone you could string along that's really no it's not all the time
21:41You had a boyfriend in Providence
21:44Why should I put up with that back up and show him that you're afraid I
21:50Don't have to put up with it. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mislead you
22:04Where are all the books
22:08The French lieutenant's woman the collector, where are they they're at your mother's they're at my mother's you didn't know where the glasses were
22:15I just redecorated the kitchen that you had to open up three cabinets just to find
22:21You don't live here
22:24You tricked me into this I did Thomas ridiculous. I didn't trick you. Yes, you did. Yes you did
22:30You're a cop that's ridiculous. I'm not a cop
22:40Goodbye
22:53And you were trying to be cute I saw him reading the book and I thought it was a way to hook him
22:58We didn't have it set up now. He's out there. We can't get him
23:01I didn't think he'd look for the books in the apartment
23:03It is your job to think and you didn't do your job if he kills another girl. You're gonna wear it
23:11Is that all that's all
23:21You are out of line and completely unprofessional
23:23I'm sorry. I'm not up to Eastbridge standards, but drop that crap
23:27She was working for you and she was trying I don't care what she was trying to do
23:32I only care about what she did to she tipped him off
23:34She doesn't deserve to have the next murder if there is one hanging on her neck
23:38Well, did you already forget what it was like when Tom tried to hang one on you?
23:46You're bleeding Connie
23:49You're bleeding Connie, didn't you tell me that's a luxury you can't have
24:00I'm putting myself on report and I'll write her a letter of apology
24:05Bottom line is Tom's not gonna do anything now
24:08He's just gonna lay low
24:10He knows we don't have evidence. That'll stick if we did we wouldn't have set up this sting
24:16He'll try something sooner or later he can't help him so we can't wait for that
24:20We don't have the manpower to trail him. We got to push his buttons and this was the biggest button we had
24:29Maybe not
24:32Hello, mrs. Dryden, I'm detective Muldoon. This is Commissioner Scali. We spoke to you on the phone. Yes, what you come in?
24:40Good afternoon
24:44Mrs. Dryden artists artists the women who were killed all lived and worked in this neighborhood
24:50And we think whoever killed him might live here, too. You see there's a comfort factory
24:54He feels at ease around here. How long have you and your son lived in this building? Oh
24:5922 years
25:03I
25:0622 years
25:11Take my advice don't get old
25:15The murders took place between 930 at night and 530 in the morning, you know, that's why I don't go out anymore at night
25:21Where was your son two nights ago about 930? Oh
25:26He was here with me
25:28We had chicken Kiev for dinner. That's his favorite
25:32Then we play Scrabble and went to bed what time did he go to bed about 1030
25:41We have a witness to the murders and Tom Fitz the description that she gave us
25:47That's impossible
25:49My son is a gentleman if there were more people like him things like these murders wouldn't take place
25:55Well, maybe you could help us clear
25:59How long were you married to Tom's father
26:02Of 11 years. It was not a happy marriage. I'm sorry to say he was not a gentleman
26:11There's a period from 1960 to 1962. How do you know about that? We're just doing our job
26:21It was probably the worst time of my life
26:26His father ran off with him
26:28Where'd he take him halfway across the country from one relative to another
26:34Pennsylvania, Ohio down to Texas. Do you remember the town or cities Harrisburg Columbus and Austin and
26:44They just kept moving. I mean Tom didn't go to school for two years. His father had these ideas about practical education. It was lunacy
26:53Did you contact the police
26:56No, we kept it in the family
26:59See when I was finally able to get Tom back
27:02His father never had anything to do with him again. I
27:10Wasn't always 76
27:14It's a very nice picture don't you think yeah
27:21Mother I'm home
27:26What are you doing here you were just asking your mother if you get out dear
27:31Since when can you just come into people's homes and start harassing them? You're doing a voice. I will not have you harassing my mother
27:38Thank you for your time. We'll see ourselves out
27:56Time's gonna do something. I don't know what he's gonna do, but I want you to stay real close to him you got right
28:04Mother they're just looking for someone to blame
28:07Mother please do you do you really believe I'm capable of something like that?
28:12Don't let that bitch turn you against me. I wish you wouldn't use language like that mother
28:18Would you?
28:20How about a nice dinner? All right
28:23We'll forget all about this. I'll take you to Brandywine's. It's your favorite place
28:32I'm going to lie down
28:52Selena take this back to records, please. Thanks homicide Muldoon, Michael. Oh
29:02Mike I'm leaving now. I'll be there. Oh
29:06Well, we're still on for Thursday, right
29:13Michael I know that's what you want, but I told you
29:23You can't are you won't well, aren't I entitled to be a part of that decision to
29:30Michael I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
29:40But couldn't we just
29:42I
29:44I
30:08Don't know what to do Tom's missing two years are a total blank. It's like you fell off the face of the earth
30:15Um
30:19Call the police in Harrisburg Columbus in Austin, that's where he was last two years
30:25Start today Trenton
30:44I
31:14I
31:28All the victims had auburn hair and blue eyes
31:32So did Ardeth so he was attracted to them because they reminded him of his mother
31:37Maybe the attraction wasn't love
31:40Yeah, but he lived with Ardeth all these years if he hated her what the hell has he been repressing Muldoon line three
31:50Homicide Muldoon. Yeah, he gave me this slip, but don't worry. I'll be back on him in a second. Where is he?
31:55It's up at 98 the third. I don't know why that's Julianne school. What he's going after Julianne
32:09I
32:14Work with your mother
32:39I
32:51Don't know which one of us is crazy. What do you think you son of a bitch?
32:58No, Tom, I'm after you no, no
33:09I
33:28Went ahead my gun jammed up against him
33:30I was praying he'd make a move so I could blow his heart right out of his chest. I
33:35Was that close Tony? I wasn't thinking like a cop anymore
33:39We're thinking like Julianne's mother, but you still were a cop. You didn't cross that line. That's what counts
33:50Artists she's Tom's weakness. I got to go after that
33:55Maybe her weakness is what happened during those two years. I'll go after that
34:03Connie
34:04How much longer you want Tom to wait until he's ready what's he doing he's climbing the walls then he's ready
34:14How do you think your mother felt when she found out her only son was a murderer
34:21How do you feel Tom
34:24Knowing you broke the heart of the most important person in your life
34:29My mother isn't stupid she'd never believe you then why isn't she here any mother who really loved her son
34:36Wouldn't let him sit in a place like this for three hours. She probably doesn't know where I am. Sure
34:41She does this is a warrant time to search your place. Our people are there right now. They told her everything
34:47about you the murders
34:50She did the best she could Tom
34:53She tried to raise you right make you into a gentleman, but when she saw those pictures what pictures she knew she failed
35:02What you did to those girls? I've never hurt anyone
35:06How can you just turn a mother against her own son like that just break up a family for God's sake?
35:11I'm all she's got you got it backwards Tom
35:14She's all you've got we depend on each other you want it back
35:18Make her understand why you did what you did
35:22Then she'll forgive you
35:24otherwise
35:25You've lost her forever and you're both gonna be all alone
35:31What do you want from me? Tell me what you did to Tracy Donnelly
35:36Christine Camarena and Beth Taylor
35:47My mother loves me
35:52You're making a mistake
35:54Tom didn't do those terrible things
35:56He couldn't have I need to ask you a few more questions about him. Tom is innocent. Maybe it'll help him
36:03Yes, it will help Tom
36:06I'm especially interested in the period between
36:091960 and 1962 I told you before my husband took him away
36:15You said they traveled a bit
36:18Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arkansas
36:20Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas
36:24It was a terrible time especially for him
36:29We checked on it your husband died in 1960
36:40Well
36:43Those were very hard years I was out of work it was humiliating
36:49I
36:50Made up the story about Tom's father just to hide my embarrassment
36:56So you were in New York the whole time? That's right
37:04Are you a baseball fan honest you you follow the Houston Astros?
37:09What does that have to do with all the Houston Astros were once an expansion team?
37:15They were originally called the Colt 45s
37:18That was in 1962
37:22Tom was in Texas that year wasn't he but he wasn't with his father. He was with you wasn't he?
37:29What happened down there Ardeth
37:32Ardeth
37:35Those girls drove you to it they led you on then they dumped you
37:40I'm ashamed to admit that women of my generation don't respect gentlemen try to be polite. They make fun of you
37:46What do they do they lie?
37:48How?
37:50They make you think they care about you, and then when you're hooked they tell you they got a boyfriend
37:55When did Tracy tell you about her boyfriend I?
38:02Didn't know her
