00:00On Sunday, Detective William arrives at a crime scene and meets Detective David, who
00:04was just transferred. The dead body belongs to a man who was shot down. Neighbors heard
00:08him argue with his wife for two hours so the cops think it was a crime of passion. On their
00:12way out, William reveals he's retiring soon and wonders why David fought so hard to be
00:16reassigned to his lame unit. David just says he wants to do some good and William reminds
00:20him that for the next seven days, he's still in charge. On Monday morning, David wakes
00:25up next to his wife Tracy, who gets annoyed when the phone rings. David is called to another
00:29crime scene where he meets with William again. When David wonders if the victim is really
00:33dead, the cop who found the body gets angry and William scolds David for being condescending.
00:37The detectives search the house and find cockroaches all over the floor. The victim is dead at the
00:42table with his face on a plate of spaghetti. His hands and feet are tied, and under the
00:46table there's a bucket full of puke. David keeps making dumb comments so William sends
00:50him to talk to the neighbors. Later in the car, David reminds William that he already
00:54has a career in the homicide department so he shouldn't be doing grunt work. At the
00:58morgue, four people are needed to push the victim's huge body onto the table. The doctor
01:02explains that the man ate until he hemorrhaged internally, there are also some bruises on
01:06his head but he hasn't been able to tell what. William theorizes that the man had a gun pressed
01:10to the back of his head. Afterward William goes to the police station and shares the case
01:14details with the captain. After 12 hours of eating the killer kicked the man, which caused
01:18his insides to burst. This is a lot of work to kill someone, so William thinks the criminal
01:23put meaning into this and may be a serial killer. William requests to be reassigned because
01:27he doesn't want his last case to be a crazy one. He also points out that this is too soon
01:31for David, who gets angry and offended. The captain refuses to reassign William but he
01:36does put David on another case. On Tuesday, a defense attorney is found murdered. While
01:40the district attorney tries to calm down the press, David makes it to the crime scene.
01:44A big bloodstain on the carpet spells the word greed and the blood was also used to draw glasses
01:49on the picture of a woman. At the police station, the captain tells William about the dead attorney.
01:53He also leaves him a bottle full of little plastic pieces that were found in the big
01:57man's belly. Apparently they were fed to him. William returns to the crime scene and opens
02:01the fridge, only to find strange holes on the floor. The plastic pieces from the stomach fit
02:06in the holes, so William slides the fridge back into place and behind it he finds the word gluttony
02:10written in grease on the wall. There's also a note with a quote from Paradise Lost that means
02:14this has just started. Then William takes everything back to the station and theorizes that the serial
02:19killer is doing the seven deadly sins. The big guy was first with gluttony, and the attorney was
02:23the second one with greed, which means they'll get one murder a day until the week ends. William leaves
02:28the station saying that David can have the whole case. In the evening, William goes to the library
02:33to study many classic books like the Canterbury Tales and the Divine Comedy. He photocopies a bunch of
02:38pages and makes a reading list, which he leaves in an envelope on David's desk. Meanwhile David keeps
02:43studying the details of both crime scenes. On Wednesday, David is too frustrated at William's choice of
02:48difficult books, so an officer brings him the CliffsNotes version of the texts. Later at the
02:52station, David discovers that he must share an office with William. When Tracy calls, she forces
02:57David to pass the phone to William so she can invite him to dinner. That night William visits the young
03:02couple and can't help laughing when the whole house shakes because of the passing train. After dinner the
03:06guys discuss the case. David believes that the killer sneaked in on Friday and was able to torture the
03:11attorney all weekend. The victim had to cut a pound of flesh with a knife and weigh it on a
03:15scale.
03:15There was also a note with a quote from the Merchant of Venice. The flesh came from the
03:19attorney's stomach so he bled to death. William wonders if the killer is preaching. Then David
03:24shows him the picture with the blood glasses. This woman is Gould's wife, who has already been sent to
03:29a safe house. A confused William concludes there's something she didn't see but she's supposed to.
03:34The detectives decide to visit the wife and show her the pictures of the crime scene to see if she
03:38notices anything peculiar. The woman points out that a painting on the wall is upside down. The duo rushes to
03:43the
03:43crime scene and takes the painting from the wall, only to get frustrated because there's nothing
03:47behind it. However William uses a brush on the wall and finds some fingerprints. Moments later the print
03:52lab uses their devices to uncover the whole message, which turns out to be a bunch of fingerprints
03:56forming the words help me. They're not the victim's prints so they run them through the computer,
04:01but there's no match. On Thursday, the police discover that the prints belong to a guy named Victor,
04:06who was raised Southern Baptist, has a history of mental illness, and a long criminal record.
04:10All the cops leave the station to go after Victor, but William doesn't think he's the right guy.
04:15Minutes later the team is bursting into Victor's building, which isn't in the best state. They
04:19kick down the door and search the apartment, which is terribly dirty. On the ceiling, dozens of pine
04:24tree air fresheners are hung to deal with the smell. In the bedroom they find a shape in the bed,
04:28so they move the sheets to discover Victor's dead body. Its skeletal state says it's been dead for a
04:33while. On the wall there's the word sloth above the bed. David finds a box of photos documenting the
04:38guy's decay over a year. When a cop gets close to the body to tell him he got what he
04:42deserved,
04:43Victor suddenly wakes up coughing because he's actually alive. After the ambulance takes the
04:47guy away, a reporter enters the building and takes a picture of the detectives. David snaps and throws
04:52the camera while yelling at the reporter until he's gone. Later at the hospital a doctor confirms
04:56that Victor hasn't moved for a year, so he has muscle and spine deterioration. There are tons of
05:01medicines in his system, his brain is mush, and he has no tongue, so they won't get to interrogate him.
05:06In the evening Tracy calls William, explaining she needs someone to talk to and he's the only
05:10person she knows in the city. On Friday morning, Tracy and William meet at a diner. She explains
05:15she hates living here but doesn't want to tell David because it would mess with his career.
05:19Tracy also announces that she's pregnant. William shares that the one time he knocked up a woman
05:24she terminated the pregnancy. However Tracy explains she does want to have children,
05:28she just doesn't want to raise them in the city. Then William advises her not to tell David until
05:32she decides if she's keeping the baby, and Tracy cries. Afterward William goes to work. He stares
05:37at the clues with David, who thinks the killer is a nutbag. However William thinks this work comes
05:42from a very methodical person. He drags David to the library and makes a new list of books that talk
05:46about the seven deadly sins. For lunch they go to a pizza parlor and William pays a guy under the
05:51table
05:51to do something very risky. At first William doesn't want to explain himself so David bothers him until
05:56he confesses. The man had been an FBI agent who has access to the library system, so he'll search
06:01for a person that took out books on the list. An hour later they get a report. It reveals that
06:06all
06:06the books related to the subject were borrowed by someone called John Doe, which is obviously a fake
06:10name. The detectives go to the address on the library card and knock on the door. Suddenly John Doe
06:15appears in the corridor and as soon as he sees them, he opens fire. The detectives drop to the floor
06:20to
06:20avoid getting shot and John runs away. David rushes downstairs to follow him and has to dodge a few more
06:25shots. While he hears children's voices yelling, David continues to search the floor and sends all
06:30curious civilians back to their places. Suddenly he sees a screaming woman running out of her apartment
06:34so he rushes inside, but after searching all the rooms he discovers that John escaped through the
06:39window. When David looks out, John opens fire at him from an alley and uses the distraction to run
06:43again. A furious David also climbs through the window and runs on the roof while noticing that John
06:48is entering an abandoned building. By breaking a window, David manages to get inside too and notices that
06:53John is leaving a trail of blood behind him, meaning he's injured. The chase continues but after running
06:58through several corridors, John uses the fire escape to leave the building again. He crosses the street
07:03in a hurry and causes various cars to crash on the sidewalk while he hides in an alley. Then David
07:07also
07:08uses the fire escape to get out, landing on a pile of trash. He runs to the alley and finds
07:12a truck.
07:13David carefully looks around it, however John is on top of the truck and knocks him down by hitting him
07:17from above. Next he grabs David's gun and gets ready to shoot him in the head, but at that moment
07:22William appears and John runs away. Afterward David tries to get into the apartment and William reminds
07:27him that they don't have a warrant. An argument ensues and David calms down, but he's only acting so
07:31he can kick down the door. To save the situation, the detectives pay a neighbor to make her tell the
07:36police that she called them because someone in that apartment had been acting suspicious and creepy.
07:40Now they can search John Doe's place, which is horrifying. They find a box with dangerous tools,
07:45a neon cross on the wall, a drawer full of medicine next to the Bible, and cabinets with
07:49souvenirs from the murders. There's also a picture of a woman in a fur coat. William finds a bunch of
07:54notebooks with the killer's insane ramblings. In a hidden room, David discovers pictures of all the
07:59victims while they were being killed. He also finds the pictures taken by the reporter in a tub, which
08:04means they talk to the killer that day without knowing. Later the forensic team finds a box of money and
08:08a bill, but not a single fingerprint in the whole apartment. William reads the notebooks for clues but
08:13they don't have any dates to match them to the murders. At that moment the phone rings and David
08:17picks it up. It's John Doe, who says that he admires David but he can't say more because it had
08:21ruined the surprise. Then the duo keeps reading the notebooks and confirms that John is preaching.
08:26They think the woman from the picture is their next clue. On Saturday, the detectives go to the
08:31address on the bill, which turns out to be a leather shop. The owner explains that John made a custom
08:35order and gives them a picture of the product. Suddenly their beepers ring with an alert that the woman from
08:40the
08:40picture has been found. The duo rushes to a club and in the basement, the working lady from the photo
08:45is dead on the bed with the word lust carved on the door. A man wearing a bedsheet is on
08:49the floor
08:49screaming at the sight. Later at the station, David interrogates the club's owner, but he didn't see
08:54anything strange. William interrogates the bedsheet man and shows him the picture of the product John
08:58ordered, a codpiece with a knife on its groin. The guy explains that John put a gun in his mouth
09:03to
09:03force him to wear the codpiece while doing the dirty with the working lady, which obviously killed her.
09:07When David gets home, he makes sure to tell Tracy that he loves her. William is annoyed by his metronome
09:13and throws it across the room. Since he can't sleep, he keeps throwing a knife at his dartboard with perfect
09:18aim. On Sunday, 911 gets a call from John saying he did it again. Moments later the cops find a
09:24woman dead in
09:25bed with the word pride painted on the wall with her blood. A bottle of sedatives and a phone have
09:29been glued
09:29to her hands. It seems John sliced up her face to cut off her nose and bandaged her before giving
09:34her a choice.
09:34Call for help and live with a disfigured face, or use the sedatives to self-delete.
09:39The woman's pride made her choose the sedatives. At the station, William tells David that he isn't
09:43retiring until they close this case. Suddenly John Doe enters the station covered in blood and
09:48yells to be noticed. David takes out his gun and the cops surround him to handcuff him while he asks
09:52for a lawyer. Then they try to take his fingerprints, but he doesn't have any because the skin was cut
09:56off.
09:57William and David don't think John would give up so easily and suspect a trap.
10:00A lawyer talks to John and tries to make a deal with the cops. He explains that there are two
10:05more bodies
10:06hidden away but John will only take David and William to the spots. The police don't want to take the
10:10deal,
10:10however John will plead insanity if they don't. If they take the deal, he'll plead guilty. William wonders if
10:16the bodies are real, so the district attorney shares the lab results, which confirm that the blood on John's
10:21clothes belongs to two new victims. The detectives have no choice but to take the deal. They shave their chests
10:26so microphones can be taped on them. While the captain deals with the press, the duo leaves with
10:31John in a car and a police helicopter follows them. During the trip, the detectives try to learn more
10:35about John, but he refuses to talk about himself and only says he must finish his work because it's
10:40special. William pokes at his religious logic and makes him rant. John explains he didn't kill any
10:45innocent people, all his victims were criminals just for falling for one of the big sins, even if it
10:49was just being overweight. He also keeps taunting David, which makes him angrier by the second. Eventually John
10:55asks the detectives to stop the car in the middle of an open field full of electrical towers. After
10:59checking on the time, John begins guiding the cops through the field. At that moment a van appears on
11:04the road, so William runs to intercept it while David stays with John. William drives as fast as
11:09possible to block the road and takes out his gun, causing a man to get out of the van. It's
11:14just a
11:14terrified delivery guy who was hired to bring a package for David. After checking he isn't armed,
11:19William lets him run away and asks his team to send someone to pick the man up. Then William opens
11:23the
11:23box and is incredibly shocked by its contents, announcing that John has the upper hand.
11:28Meanwhile John tells David that he admires him and that he paid a cop to get information about him.
11:32He reveals that he's visited Tracy and cut off her head because he envied David's normal life.
11:36This means envy is his sin, so John asks David to shoot and become wrath. William rushes to calm
11:42David down, but he refuses to say what is in the box and that confirms that Tracy's head is in
11:46it.
11:46John doesn't stop taunting David and tells him that Tracy was pregnant, so William slaps him.
11:50Hearing about the baby is the last thing David needs to snap. He shoots John in the head and then
11:55his
11:55body five more times. In the evening, David is taken away by the police for his crime,
12:00and William finally leaves the force.
