00:13:14Forest Bear is sad.

00:13:26I have a really bad word.
00:13:32But I've had a really bad day.
00:13:35Oh, my God.
00:13:36What?
00:13:37You're like hell.

00:13:53Kitty-up.
00:14:06I said, don't touch that.
00:14:14I said, put that down.
00:14:16Faster and faster, they're getting away.
00:14:34You know what, sissy?
00:14:39You talk too much.
00:14:46I said somebody got hurt today.
00:14:48Joey Warren did his best win.
00:14:50I got lucky enough to lead Kevin Swiser.
00:14:52Tell us the反 impartial story of Joni.
00:14:55Don'taclick in the park in the gaming series.
00:14:56He gets hurt tonight.
00:14:57I got a friend to drive.
00:14:58I have no trouble with oneятся.
00:14:59I got him in bad shape.
00:15:00Don't wake up, man.
00:15:02I am coming out.
00:15:04Oh, snap.
00:15:06identalнятьg cancers.
00:15:08We fully-b 드디어 on all waking camps.
00:15:10I don't know.
00:15:40I don't know.
00:16:10I don't know.
00:16:40Giddy up.
00:16:56Greetings.
00:17:13How are you today?
00:17:16Hope I'm in focus.
00:17:18That would be a first.
00:17:19Okay, so let's get started.
00:17:24Why am I videotaping myself?
00:17:26Simple.
00:17:28I'm protecting my reputation.
00:17:30I want a permanent record of me, and I don't want some cheesy reporter getting it all wrong.
00:17:35To begin with, I've been misunderstood my whole life.
00:17:39When I live with that pain, I try not to let it get me down.
00:17:43But let me tell you, every now and then, I get urges, and I finally acted on them.
00:17:52And it was, what's the word I'm looking for, exciting.
00:18:02I got it.
00:18:14Yeah, I got it.
00:18:44Agent Gant, the Bureau appreciates the recent work you did on the prostitution being in Spokane.
00:19:01Thank you, sir.
00:19:02It made all the difference. I need you to do that again.
00:19:05The female body was discovered in Washington when it gorsed me the order in the border.
00:19:14A happy face. John and Bland?
00:19:21It appears the murder was committed in Oregon, but the body dumped in Washington.
00:19:25The state line crossed, that makes it an FBI matter.
00:19:27Local police?
00:19:28Understaffed. Overconfident.
00:19:30Need you to get up to Ruskin County, Washington.
00:19:33Equal Sheriff J.D. Conn.
00:19:34Yes, sir.
00:19:35Just remember, we're playing chess, they're playing checkers.
00:19:38Try to make them feel included.
00:19:40Solve this thing for us, Gant.
00:19:42Yes, sir.
00:19:53Are you sure you want to pack up all this stuff so soon?
00:19:56Cora will probably change her mind.
00:19:58Cora won't even return my phone calls, and I can't keep living here with all her stuff.
00:20:03Oh, please tell me this isn't yours.
00:20:12I didn't have the heart to get rid of it. The kids just loved them when they were younger.
00:20:16Yeah.
00:20:18Hey, what's this?
00:20:21It's really pretty.
00:20:23It's really pretty.
00:20:30It's Corus.
00:20:51No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:52No.
00:20:53No, no, no.
00:20:54No, no, no.
00:20:56That's fine.
00:20:57I was so dead.
00:20:58No, no, no.
00:21:00It was so fun.
00:21:01I'll be home.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:03Sorry.
00:21:04I didn't get that.
00:21:05It's insane.
00:21:06You got that.
00:21:07Yeah.
00:21:08I have to go.
00:21:10Why are you, as you were here?
00:21:11Oh, you were grown in the comments.
00:21:12Oh, no.
00:21:13Oh, no.
00:21:14Oh, my God.
00:21:44Hey, sweetheart, where are you headed?
00:22:14Look, Agent Gann, these jurisdiction cases are usually just too many folks in the same party.
00:22:39It's an interstate matter. The law's the law.
00:22:42Yeah, I've heard that.
00:22:44Felicia, get some coffee.
00:22:48With all due respect, Agent Gann, I actually have done this before, so you being here may be overkill.
00:22:54The government prefers to be thorough.
00:22:56Well, good for them.
00:22:58How do you take your coffee, Special Agent Gann?
00:23:01Well, that's okay, hon. I can take it from here. I think we can figure out coffee. We've got an FBI agent on the premises.
00:23:06How long have you been an FBI agent?
00:23:09Eleven years.
00:23:10Ah, right. Well, I've been sheriff in this county, seventeen.
00:23:13Every time there's a murder, six in the last nine years, I've caught him and got convictions.
00:23:17That's very impressive.
00:23:18Look, if Uncle Sam wants to waste taxpayer money bringing in the FBI, I can't stop him.
00:23:23But this isn't Mayberry, and I'm not Andy.
00:23:29I'd like to see the body.
00:23:30Her blood?
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:46You can also confirm time of death was 48 to 56 hours ago, Agent Gann.
00:23:51We still haven't ID'd her.
00:23:52FBI will run a thorough DNA match.
00:23:54And look at this.
00:23:56From a place called O'Finn's Tavern in Portland.
00:24:00Whoever did this had strong hands.
00:24:04The wounds all indicate that.
00:24:06Strangulation marks are pretty severe.
00:24:08Fork rage.
00:24:10Murderer sabers the struggle.
00:24:12It's highly personal.
00:24:13No weapons used.
00:24:14It's intimate.
00:24:15I'll need you to check for latent prints in the blood on this marking here.
00:24:19You got it.
00:24:21Happy face.
00:24:23It's a taunt.
00:24:25He thinks he's smarter than everybody else that he can't get caught.
00:24:28Any leads, Sheriff?
00:24:31So far we got three clues.
00:24:33One, the bloody happy face.
00:24:34Two, the stamp on the back of the victim's hand from O'Finn's Tavern, which tells us she
00:24:38was in Oregon when she was murdered.
00:24:40And three, the zipper from her jeans was cut out.
00:24:43Probably a souvenir for the killer.
00:24:44I've seen that before.
00:24:45May also be a deliberately false detail to distract us.
00:24:48Well, even still, if you find who has that part of her jeans, it might be our killer.
00:24:53We have to contact the police in Portland, so he's been reported missing.
00:24:57I'll have my team investigate the dump site here in Washington.
00:24:59That looks delicious.
00:25:10Well, it's a treat for me.
00:25:12I don't get to bake for anyone anymore.
00:25:14I can't tell you the last time I had a home-cooked meal.
00:25:18I mean, all I eat on the road is junk.
00:25:22How are you holding up?
00:25:23All right, I mean, it's a little weird living here alone, but I'm not one to complain.
00:25:34Forks.
00:25:35Oh, yeah.
00:25:37Sure.
00:25:37Sure.
00:25:53Hey, you, Jesperson.
00:26:14I thought you two were honeymooning in Honolulu.
00:26:19Good one.
00:26:20Hey, hey, it's the Mountie.
00:26:27I know you.
00:26:28You still keep that stupid postcard of deadly dew right on your visor?
00:26:32Hey, I got myself a new boyfriend, and it's the real thing.
00:26:36And I'm going to go out on the road with him.
00:26:39And let me tell you something, Mr. Mountie, weirdo truck driver man.
00:26:46He's screwing me way better than you.
00:26:50I remember you now.
00:27:10You're the one that always wears a flea collar.
00:27:13Maybe I'm too sensitive sometimes.
00:27:27But when people get cute and sarcastic with me, I see red.
00:27:33And that's when they have to pay.
00:27:37And if I don't get the respect I'm due, it's going to go downhill real fast.
00:27:45Do you recognize this girl?
00:27:46No.
00:27:54Really?
00:27:55She had your bar's name stamped on her hand.
00:27:58It's not my business.
00:27:59See, that's unfortunate for you.
00:28:03Because by not cooperating with an FBI agent, I could arrest you for impeding a federal investigation,
00:28:09which has a penalty, last time I looked, of five years in prison.
00:28:13Or I could give you a second chance, since I don't want your stupid ass clogging up the justice system.
00:28:19Which would you prefer?
00:28:28She used to come around here.
00:28:31She was in the other night.
00:28:32She left with some guy.
00:28:33What's her name?
00:28:37Sissy Payton.
00:28:38Hey, Diane.
00:28:56Miss me?
00:28:57I've been thinking of you all day.
00:29:01Well, I miss you too.
00:29:02How long are you going to be away for?
00:29:04I'll be home in a few days.
00:29:06Oh, yeah.
00:29:07That's great.
00:29:08Listen, it's getting a little busy.
00:29:10I'm going to have to jump back on the road.
00:29:12I'll call you later.
00:29:13Okay.
00:29:14Um, take care.
00:29:17We'll talk soon.
00:29:18Okay, bye.
00:29:20Bye.
00:29:24Nice rig.
00:29:30Where are you headed?
00:29:31I was hoping to get to the market today.
00:29:33Get our formula.
00:29:34The least I could do is give her mother a lift.
00:29:38Yeah?
00:29:39That's sweet.
00:29:42Her name's Candy.
00:29:47Candy.
00:29:48That's her.
00:29:57That's her.
00:29:58That's Sissy.
00:29:59Can you cover her, please?
00:30:01It's just a matter of time.
00:30:09Now I won't have to worry about her anymore.
00:30:14I'm sorry, Miss Payton.
00:30:15She didn't deserve this.
00:30:16Who did it?
00:30:18We're doing our best to find out.
00:30:28May I help you?
00:30:29I know who killed Sissy Payton.
00:30:35How do you know that?
00:30:36I was there.
00:30:39Me and my boyfriend.
00:30:43We did it.
00:30:44FBI, are you Bud Skinner?
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:56Hey!
00:30:57Hey!
00:30:58Hey!
00:31:02Mr. Skinner!
00:31:03You're under arrest for the murder of Sissy Payton.
00:31:05Murder, are you kidding me?
00:31:06Oh!

00:32:07Oh, I...
00:32:08Sorry.
00:32:13Oh!
00:32:14150 sound about right?
00:32:16I just offered to take you to the market. I didn't ask you to do that.
00:32:21It made you feel good. Now you're making me feel bad.
00:32:26How about this?
00:32:30I give you $20 so you can buy formula for your baby and you get out of my truck.
00:32:37I know what I'm worth. I'm good at what I do.
00:32:41I'm calling the cops and telling them you rape me, you loser.
00:32:47Are you going to pay me or not, you freak?
00:32:53I'm broke!
00:32:59I won't tell anyone, I'm broke.
00:33:03Please don't hurt me.
00:33:10Leave.
00:33:14Leave.

00:33:50Delores Parnicki and her boyfriend, Bud Skinner, have been arrested in the strangulation murder of Portland woman, Sissy Payton,
00:33:59whose body was found by hikers in a forested area near the Columbia Borge.
00:34:04Authorities report Parnicki has confessed to taking part in the murder and his implicated Skinner.
00:34:20The End
00:34:50I killed Sissy Payton, October 12th, in Portland, Oregon.
00:35:04I beat her to death, raped her, and I loved it.
00:35:09Yes, I am sick, but I enjoy myself too.
00:35:13People took the blame, and I'm free, so I can kill again.
00:35:18Ripped a zipper off the jeans.
00:35:20Poof.
00:35:44Hey!
00:35:47Don't be mad.
00:35:50What are you doing here?

00:37:03John called, said he picked up this girl at a bar and so that we could have a three-way and
00:37:10things got rough and he raped her.
00:37:16He killed her and we dumped her body off the highway near the Columbia Gorge.
00:37:19What's really going on here, Dolores?
00:37:22Are you just saying this because Bud treats you bad, he beats you, you want to pin this
00:37:26on him as payback?
00:37:29He'll get what he deserves for what he's done.
00:37:31To you or to sissy?
00:37:38How did he kill her?
00:37:39Rope.
00:37:41What else?
00:37:43Gloves.
00:37:45Duct tape.
00:37:46Like the ones I found in your apartment.
00:37:47It's almost like you wanted me to find that stuff.
00:37:51Bud must have hid it.
00:37:54Ask him.
00:37:54Dolores, if you're trying to set up an innocent man...
00:37:57He is not innocent.
00:38:01How about anything?
00:38:03Tell me about the signature left on sissy's body.
00:38:07What does it mean?
00:38:07Whose idea was it?
00:38:12Dolores.
00:38:14I know what you're doing.
00:38:15I understand why you're doing it.
00:38:19But Bud didn't kill this girl.
00:38:22The real killer is still out there and he is going to kill again.
00:38:27Please help me.
00:38:32I've told you everything I know.
00:38:34So get this.
00:38:37Some whack job named Dolores Parnecke told the cops that her and her boyfriend killed sissy
00:38:44Payton.
00:38:45Which is a miracle since they did it.
00:38:49I did.
00:38:50I killed her.
00:38:52They're trying to take the damn credit?
00:38:56It was me.
00:38:58Yeah.
00:39:02Someone found this on the bathroom wall at a truck stop in Burlington.
00:39:06Cops there took these.
00:39:06Felicia?
00:39:24Felicia?
00:39:25See if any of the papers ever mentioned the missing zipper from sissy's pants.
00:39:28Hey.
00:39:36Can you, can you sit for a minute, please?
00:39:39Sure.
00:39:41Good.
00:39:43I thought maybe you forgot about me.
00:39:47What you been up to?
00:39:48Not much, just driving around, thinking.
00:39:53Oh yeah?
00:39:53About what?
00:39:54Well, I've been mostly thinking about me.
00:39:57And you.
00:40:03Wow.
00:40:07I really want you to spend more time at my place.
00:40:12I just feel so much better when you're there.
00:40:16Everything is better.
00:40:18You lost me, Agent Gant.
00:40:34Someone writes a confession on a bathroom wall, and you consider that evidence left by the killer.
00:40:39It had details only the killer would know.
00:40:43Dolores couldn't even describe the happy face signature.
00:40:45Circumstantial.
00:40:46Call me old-fashioned, but I like my evidence in the real and hard variety.
00:40:51Listen, Agent Gant, as district attorney, I see a lot of guilt and innocence coming and going.
00:40:55And on this one, the fat lady has something.
00:40:58And her name is Dolores Parnicki.
00:41:00Now, she signed a confession stating her involvement in the killing of Sissy Payton.
00:41:04Innocent people confess.
00:41:06So do guilty people.
00:41:07I think she's lying.
00:41:08Really?
00:41:08Why?
00:41:08What, then?
00:41:09She read about Sissy's murder?
00:41:11Why confess to something she didn't do?
00:41:13She wanted out.
00:41:14I found a book in their apartment about how to leave an abusive relationship.
00:41:18She formulated a plan.
00:41:19She implicated her boyfriend.
00:41:21I believe that she planted evidence in their apartment.
00:41:25Here's the thing, Agent Gant.
00:41:26If you want to get Dolores and her boyfriend, Bud Skinner, out of jail, then you're going to
00:41:31have to work harder and give me some evidence that actually means something.
00:41:34I'm on your side, and I'm all for truth and justice, but I like evidence even better.
00:41:42Yeah.
00:41:44Thanks.
00:41:58Bud Skinner failed his polygraph.
00:42:00Convinced?
00:42:04Convinced?
00:42:30Convinced?
00:42:31Convinced?
00:42:32Convinced?
00:42:33Convinced?
00:42:34Convinced?
00:42:35Convinced?
00:42:36Convinced?
00:42:37Convinced?
00:42:38Convinced?
00:42:39Convinced?
00:42:40Convinced?
00:42:41Convinced?
00:42:42Convinced?
00:42:43Convinced?
00:42:44Convinced?
00:42:45Convinced?
00:42:46Convinced?
00:42:47Convinced?
00:42:48Convinced?
00:42:49Convinced?
00:42:50Convinced?
00:42:51Convinced?
00:42:52Convinced?
00:42:53Convinced?
00:42:54Convinced?
00:42:55Convinced?
00:42:56Convinced?
00:42:57Convinced?
00:42:58Convinced?
00:42:59Convinced?
00:43:00I don't know.
00:43:30I won't let him get away with this summer, I promise you.
00:43:54Agent Gann.
00:44:00I killed Sissy and I did this one too.
00:44:09Maybe this time you believe I am still out here.
00:44:14Really starting to piss me off.
00:44:16I don't know.
00:44:46Ah.
00:44:48This may sound crazy, but the last few weeks have been some of the best days of my life.
00:44:55And there's just something inside me changing.
00:44:58What do you mean?
00:44:58I'm falling in love with you.
00:45:04I am in love with you and I hope you feel the same way about me.
00:45:07Yeah, I do.
00:45:10I just was afraid to say it first.
00:45:12Okay, so once these papers are signed, I'd love to get married again.
00:45:20What are you saying?
00:45:23So if you'll have me, will you be my wife?
00:45:28Yes!
00:45:32Yes!
00:45:33Yes!
00:45:33Yes!
00:45:34Now the latest in the brutal slaying of Sissy Payton, Dolores Parnicki has confessed that her boyfriend, Bud Skinner, killed Payton, and that Parnicki was an eyewitness.
00:46:01According to authorities, Skinner has denied the allegations.
00:46:04The lurid case has brought notoriety to Parnicki for her role as the alleged accomplice in this brutal slaying.
00:46:11She's got it all wrong.
00:46:20I did it.
00:46:21I would like to tell my story.
00:46:40I am two people, and sometimes the bad one is in charge.
00:46:46When I'm my bad self, women better be careful.
00:46:51Remember Sissy Payton?
00:46:54Met her at O'Finn's Tavern, and raped her, and beat her up real bad.
00:46:58I strangled her, and ended her life.
00:47:06This turned me on.
00:47:08I got high.
00:47:09Painted happy face on her chest.
00:47:14Told you it was time to believe that I'm out here.
00:47:16Met another one at a truck stop in Kennewick, summer northern.
00:47:29Long brown hair, country girl.
00:47:33My mind went wild with the thought of a sex slave.
00:47:37Told her she was gonna die, and slowly strangled her with my belt.
00:47:42I felt so much power.
00:47:47Dropped the body out in a field by a pile of wood.
00:47:51Red lipstick drew a happy face on supply wood.
00:47:56I want the world to know that this is my crime.
00:47:59Just like Sissy.
00:48:01Whoever you think did it, you are wrong.
00:48:05It was me.
00:48:12Don't get hurt.
00:48:13Earth's dead.
00:48:13I went to see you.
00:48:13Nobody left.
00:48:16I was scared, and you are lost.
00:48:20All over the people.
00:48:29What's up?
00:48:32What's up?
00:48:36People lose me.
00:48:38Who is up?
00:48:39Hi.
00:48:48Is everything okay?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53Everything's fine.
00:48:56I miss you so much when you're on the road.
00:49:00I miss you too.
00:49:09I brought you some coffee.
00:49:18Oh, thank you.
00:49:23It's personal with you, isn't it?
00:49:26Yes.
00:49:30Two years after I became an agent, my sister Allison was murdered.
00:49:35She'd just gotten married, and one day she went missing.
00:49:39I don't even really know what happened.
00:49:42I never found out who did it.
00:49:44I'm sorry.
00:49:52You asked me to check the papers to see if Sissy's zipper was ever mentioned.
00:49:56It wasn't.
00:50:05You have a sec?
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:07These letters just came in, showed up on my desk and sent to the papers, written by
00:50:11some nut, signed with a happy face.
00:50:17It's not some nut, it's him.
00:50:22When are you going to let this go?
00:50:23The FBI lab confirmed handwriting on the plywood by Summer's body.
00:50:26The handwriting in the truck stop restroom were a match.
00:50:30Now, Bud and Dolores were in custody when Summer was murdered.
00:50:32How do you explain that?
00:50:33It's a copycat.
00:50:34But the scrawl in the restroom mentioned the missing zipper.
00:50:37That's a detail only the killer would know.
00:50:38That is very interesting, but it doesn't change anything.
00:50:43I've got some other news.
00:50:45Bud has entered a plea.
00:50:47He's agreed to 15 years.
00:50:49Now, does that sound like something an innocent man would do?
00:50:52The only thing I know is that the person who did this is still out there.
00:50:59Unless you can prove it, we're done here.
00:51:02Dolores has confessed.
00:51:04Bud has pled.
00:51:05In a case that continues to astound, authorities have confirmed that Bud Skinner murdered Sissy Payton as his girlfriend Dolores Parnicki watched.
00:51:28But troubling new twists have surfaced, and it now appears someone dubbed the Happy Face Killer is taking credit for the murder as well as others.
00:51:37It may or may not be a copycat.
00:51:43Whatever the truth is, the entire Pacific Northwest is on edge and asking itself who is the Happy Face Killer.
00:51:50A letter just came for you, Agent Gads.
00:52:07Dear FBI agent Gads, I've written to everybody else.
00:52:25And I read in the paper about how you are the lead investigator, so maybe you will listen to me.
00:52:30Skinner and Parnicki had nothing to do with anything, and they are pathetic liars.
00:52:38It was all me, and I feel like I'm being treated wrong.
00:52:44I hope you believe in me.
00:52:46I deserve that, because I'm telling the truth.
00:52:50Maybe sometime we could meet.
00:52:54Good luck with everything.
00:52:57More to come.
00:52:59Sincerely yours.
00:53:00Come on.
00:53:30We need to interview people at the truck stops along the interstate.
00:54:00Have a nice day.
00:54:30No!
00:55:00Hey, Di.
00:55:01Hi.
00:55:02Honey, I was thinking that we could have our honeymoon in Lake Tahoe.
00:55:05Oh.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:11Yeah, that...
00:55:13That sounds great.
00:55:15And when we're married, I could quit my job and ride in the truck with you and go everywhere you go.
00:55:21Yeah, well, let's talk about that.
00:55:24Okay.
00:55:25Listen, sweetie, I gotta run. Talk to you later.
00:55:30That was nice, sweetie.
00:55:56I'd recognize that ass anyway.
00:55:58Oh, my God, Keith, I was just thinking about you. How you been?
00:56:03Busy.
00:56:05So where you headed?
00:56:07Everywhere.
00:56:08Oh, imagine that. That's where I'm headed.
00:56:13As long as you aren't the happy-faced killer.
00:56:17Darling, do I look like the happy-faced killer?
00:56:21You guys?
00:56:23Oh.
00:56:25You look good, baby. You been exercising?
00:56:27Here and there.
00:56:30Oh, great postcard.
00:56:32I love Mounties.
00:56:34Yeah.
00:56:36I remember.
00:56:37I met him in a truck stop in Mount Prescott. It was with my baby.
00:56:47Me and him were gonna party in his rig.
00:56:52He tried to strangle me, but I got away.
00:56:55I got away.
00:56:58Is your baby all right?
00:57:01Other than having me for a mother?
00:57:03Yeah, she's fine.
00:57:05Candy.
00:57:08Are you willing to press assault charges against him?
00:57:10Do you know his name?
00:57:23Keith Jesperson.
00:57:40You're still the best.
00:57:42That's not what you said last time.
00:57:44Come on. No way.
00:57:46No, you did. You insulted me.
00:57:48And the Mountie postcard I had to click to my visor.
00:57:51You have no right to do that.
00:57:53Insensitivity is the modern plague.
00:57:56It brings out the worst in people.
00:58:00So, uh, I'll just get a cab.
00:58:04No.
00:58:05No, you won't.
00:58:06No, you won't.
00:58:36No.
00:58:38No.
00:58:39No.
00:58:40No.
00:58:41No.
00:58:43No.
00:58:44It had to be the only one for me is you, and you and me, so happy to get around.
00:59:01They say abusive behavior toward animals is one of the first symptoms that you're on the road to becoming a serial killer or murderer.
00:59:19You know, I never thought of it that way. I never thought it like I was abusing animals.
00:59:25I just enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching them die.
00:59:29When I looked at those things that are so scared and trembling and just watched the life leave them, I got off from it.
00:59:40Just like I did with Taffy.
00:59:42Anyway, there isn't much difference between killing an animal and killing a human being.
00:59:48I mean, you get to the point where killing something's nothing.
00:59:53Let's face it, being alive is what kicks your ass.
00:59:58So, be careful out there. Look over your shoulder, because I may be closer than you think.
01:00:09Hunters say their dogs found the body.
01:00:12There's no happy face.
01:00:25Might not be him.
01:00:26It's him. He's just doing it different.
01:00:30It's him.
01:00:31It's him.
01:00:44It's him.
01:00:49I don't know.
01:01:19Mr. Jeskison, I'm FBI Special Agent Melinda Gand.
01:01:24It's an honor to meet anyone from the FBI.
01:01:27You can call me, Keith.
01:01:29Okay.
01:01:32We brought you in today to ask some questions.
01:01:34We appreciate your cooperation.
01:01:37Mind if I record this?
01:01:40Fire away.
01:01:44Have you ever been to the O'Finn's Tavern in Portland?
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:49A while ago.
01:01:51You used to shoot a pool there and get some beers?
01:01:54Spend any time with a woman named Sissy Payton?
01:02:00No.
01:02:02She was strangled and tossed into a ravine.
01:02:04Happy face scrawled on her.
01:02:06I heard about that.
01:02:07Sissy was last seen at O'Finn's Tavern.
01:02:09Did you meet her?
01:02:10No.
01:02:12You sure?
01:02:13Yeah, I'm sure.
01:02:14Wait, didn't I read that some couple killed her?
01:02:20Have you ever been to the Turlock or Mount Ruskin or Kennewick truck stops?
01:02:24Yeah, all the time.
01:02:25They're right along my main route.
01:02:26You meet a summer northern or Taffy Billings?
01:02:32No.
01:02:32Do you recall meeting a woman named Candy?
01:02:36She had a baby at the Mount Ruskin truck stop.
01:02:41Candy claims that you tried to sexually assault her, tried to kill her.
01:02:44So that's what this is about?
01:02:47Look, I'm no angel.
01:02:49But Candy's a working girl.
01:02:50And we got together.
01:02:52That's it.
01:02:53She wants to press charges against me?
01:02:56You think anyone's gonna believe some lot lizard whore in court?
01:03:00Good luck.
01:03:01You recognize this?
01:03:18No.
01:03:19It's a letter that you sent to me, Keith.
01:03:22Signed by the Happy Face Killer.
01:03:25In it, it says maybe we'll meet sometime.
01:03:29Here I am.
01:03:31Am I under arrest?
01:03:33Because if not, I've got to get back out there.
01:03:37I've got to make a living.
01:03:38No, you're not under arrest.
01:03:41Not yet.
01:03:45I didn't write that letter.
01:03:48I know you want to find this killer, and...
01:03:50I'm sorry, it can't be more helpful.
01:03:56It's been a pleasure.
01:04:01It's been a pleasure.
01:04:19Just when I thought things were starting to go my way,
01:04:46FBI special agent, Melinda Gant, had to come along and ruin everything.
01:04:53I mean, the FBI did have to send their best to get me, so I'm flattered.
01:04:58But once she got involved with the investigation, it made me nervous.
01:05:01She brought me in, made me think she must be close, right?
01:05:06I hated how she screwed with me.
01:05:09I started to feel like she was watching my every move.
01:05:13One more worthless, uncaring bitch messing up my life.
01:05:21You gotta admit, it's pretty ironic how we set a woman out of here.
01:05:25God has one messed up sense of humor.
01:05:28Keith was always sad and lost.
01:05:40His childhood was pretty much a nightmare.
01:05:41He said his father made him torture animals.
01:05:47Electrocuted him, even.
01:05:50The kids at school tormented him.
01:05:52What was your marriage like?
01:05:53He was a caring father.
01:05:56Cora, do you think Keith could hurt women?
01:06:02He never touched any of the kids.
01:06:04I mean, I know he had affairs, but if you ask me,
01:06:07his problem with women is that he likes them too much.
01:06:14I kind of like this one.
01:06:16My grandmother used to have silverware like that.
01:06:18And she gave it away.
01:06:22Do you like it?
01:06:24Keith?
01:06:26I like it if you like it.
01:06:28I do.
01:06:35Now this one is my favorite.
01:06:39Silverware with little tree limbs.
01:06:41Yeah, it's perfect.
01:06:44I like it.
01:06:47Okay.
01:06:47Perfect.
01:06:51So would you consider Keith to be a violent person?
01:06:54It was just the way that we were raised.
01:07:00My brother got the worst of it and probably took a lot of it off of me.
01:07:03You were spared?
01:07:06Maybe, yeah.
01:07:08I talked to Cora.
01:07:09She told me about your childhood.
01:07:12It sounded pretty rough.
01:07:15It was.
01:07:17With Keith, it wasn't just about the abuse, though.
01:07:22He just always wanted to be somebody else.
01:07:26He could never control his emotions.
01:07:29And rage.
01:07:30I think he came into a world like that.
01:07:39Everybody thinks they're special.
01:07:41Everyone thinks they're smart.
01:07:43But you're not.
01:07:44You're either the wolf or the sheep.
01:07:48All right, listen, listen.
01:07:49Hear me out.
01:07:49This is important.
01:07:50As far as killing goes and getting away with it, here's the key.
01:07:53When you're trying to dump a body that your real adversary isn't the police.
01:07:57It's actually the public.
01:07:59So if you don't want to get caught, make sure you have no links to the victim.
01:08:04And then take their body far, far away.
01:08:08Time and distance is the main trick.
01:08:12And if you get that right, well, I'll ever get that.
01:08:15Des, there's someone here to see you.
01:08:43Mr. Whitman, Melinda Gant, FBI.

01:17:19Let's go.
01:17:20Let's go.
01:17:21Let's go.

01:18:16Call him and give him this location.
01:18:21Hey, Des.
01:18:31You're in luck.
01:18:33Klingman Industrial Warehouse for pickup.
01:18:39What am I picking up?
01:18:42Uh, three tons galvanized steel, six tons of ibene.
01:18:49Keith.
01:18:51You want it or not, Keith?
01:18:52Keith, you want it or not?
01:18:53What's the address?
01:18:54What's the address?
01:18:58What's the address?
01:18:59What's the address?
01:19:03What's the address?
01:19:04What's the address?
01:19:10Hey, John!
01:19:11What seems like my luck has run out.
01:19:23Hi John, it seems like my luck has run out. I'll never be able to enjoy life on the outside
01:19:39again. I got into a bad situation and my emotions caught up with me. I killed a woman in my
01:19:50truck during an argument and with all the evidence against me I guess I truly am the
01:19:56black sheep of the family. The court will appoint me a lawyer and there will be a
01:20:02trial and I'm sure they'll kill me for this. I'm sorry that things turned out this way.
01:20:13I've been a killer for some time. I've killed eight people. Faulted more. I guess I haven't really learned anything.
01:20:43Oh
01:20:52Oh
01:20:59Oh, my God.
01:21:29What are you doing?
01:21:37Just leave the rig here.
01:21:39Get the paperwork going.
01:21:59Freeze!
01:22:01Don't go!
01:22:10Hands behind your head, Jesperson.
01:22:12You're under arrest for the murder of Diane Lofton.
01:22:30I didn't kill her.
01:22:33Yeah, you did.
01:22:35Just like you killed Sissy Payton and all the others.
01:22:39You can't prove that.
01:22:41I know you're the happy-faced killer.
01:22:47That's ridiculous.
01:22:52Get him out of here.
01:22:54I really am sorry we didn't have any time together alone.
01:23:01All right, let's bring it down.
01:23:16Agent Gand, something to remember us by.
01:23:46That's a big honor. She guards those with her life.
01:23:55Thank you. Thanks, Felicia.
01:23:59Bye-bye.
01:24:16Bye-bye.
01:24:46You know what? I would have made a hell of a mounting.
01:24:55Oh, well. Their loss.
01:24:59Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
01:25:02Come on.
01:25:04Come on.
01:25:09Come on.
01:25:13Come on.
01:25:18Come on.

01:25:26Come on.
01:25:27Come on.
01:25:29Come on.
01:25:31Come on.
01:25:35Come on.
01:25:36Come on.
01:25:38Come on.
01:25:40Come on.
01:25:42Come on.
01:25:44Come on.
01:25:45Come on.
01:25:46Come on.
01:25:47Come on.
01:25:48Come on.
