00:05You
00:06Previously on the hunting party called the pit home to the most dangerous and violent criminals in history
00:10All of whom the world believes are dead or at least it was until the blast hit
00:17I didn't serve and I haven't been in the field. That was the first time I've ever drawn my weapon.
00:21You were impressive
00:23Are you gonna ask me out or what? No?
00:27maybe
00:28Do you really think Lazarus attacked Cyrus's convoy? I do
00:33Still don't have proof. Well, we need to find some
00:45You know what else I love about this city? The boulder? Yeah, what? Uh, the cops on bicycles. How intimidating
00:51is that?
00:51All right, pull over. Ching, ching, ching, ching
00:55What do they do when they arrest somebody? All right in the basket
00:58You always tell the rookie cops. They're the ones with playing cards in their spokes. Oh
01:07Well, thank you folks hope you have a wonderful evening
01:10Say goodbye, Marvin. Goodbye, Marvin! You've been great!
01:24Great crowd tonight, kid. Break a leg or a string
01:29All right, all right. Please welcome to the stage our next performer, a debut in fact. Put your hands together
01:36for Dylan Miles and Lil' Barney
01:50Hello? This is, uh, this is Barney. I'm Dylan. So, um, Barney, what did you do last weekend?
02:00I met a girl. Didn't go very well.
02:04Oh, no. What happened, Barney? She said I was too stiff
02:15What, um, why, I mean
02:20Why did she think you were too stiff? Because I made of wood, dummy
02:28What's that?
02:29Bring Marvin back out!
02:30Oh, damn!
02:38Looks like sawd
02:40Like sawd
02:43Get off the stage, little guy
03:14Somebody should teach that guy a lesson.
03:20I was thinking the same thing.
03:31I was thinking the same thing.
03:54I was thinking the same thing.
04:11Want to hear a joke?
04:13What's black, and blue, and red all over?
04:21You are.
04:25It would be interesting eating Thai, maybe Italian, something like that.
04:45It doesn't matter what we think we know about Lazarus.
04:48Without definitive proof that she was involved in the attack on the convoy, we have nothing.
04:52Then we get something.
04:54Hey, she's way too smart to leave a paper trail.
04:57Well, anything she does have, flash drives, hard copies, whatever.
05:01They'll be stashed at her place, which only one of us has access to.
05:07So what are you gonna do?
05:09You gonna invite yourself over and search her place while she burns another lasagna?
05:13Shane, this is way too risky, no?
05:16Why does dinner need to be at her place?
05:19If Shane invites her out somewhere, you two can go in, have a look around, and he keeps
05:25her occupied?
05:27I mean, I can text her right now.
05:30I'll advise on her the whole time.
05:32We can text you guys when we're leaving, make sure you've got plenty of time to get out.
05:40All right, fine.
05:42All right.
05:43Done.
05:48Go for Hassani.
05:51Okay.
05:53Yeah?
05:54Hey.
05:55You sure?
05:56Get you back there?
05:58Of course.
05:59That was Peck.
06:01We got work.
06:06What do we got?
06:08Puppet maker was shot in his workshop near Rapid City, South Dakota.
06:12Sorry, did you say puppet maker?
06:13I sure did.
06:15We don't have crime scene photos yet, but that's our victim, Nicholas Fletcher.
06:18He's currently in a medically induced coma, but fingerprints at the scene match pit inmate
06:23H71.
06:24Ah, Dylan Miles.
06:26You want to take it from here?
06:28Yeah.
06:29Believe it or not, our fugitive killer here, Mr. Miles, was actually an aspiring comedian.
06:33Of course.
06:34Because murder is hilarious.
06:36As a kid, he was diagnosed with delayed language development and selective mutism.
06:40He was completely nonverbal until nearly ten years old.
06:43Oof.
06:44That must have been tough on the playground.
06:45The real breakthrough happened when he started communicating through one of his sister's dolls.
06:50Common form of projective play.
06:52As he matured, he developed the capacity to communicate for himself, but he still felt
06:55more comfortable speaking through his proxies.
06:57But when did he go from talking dolls to murder?
07:01June 5th, 2015.
07:03Dylan would perform at small comedy clubs all over the Midwest.
07:06All of his victims were people who heckled him during the show.
07:09He'd wait for a month or even up to a year before enacting revenge.
07:14I can really see the anger.
07:16And the humiliation.
07:17All he wanted was to connect with people through his act.
07:20Which is why when he got teased or heckled, he would return the humiliation he felt on the victims tenfold.
07:26Which is why a lot of the crime scenes happened in a public place.
07:30He wanted his victims to be seen.
07:31He wanted them to be remembered in their final moments of indignity.
07:35It says here he killed seven victims over a two year period.
07:38Is there any chance Dylan knew this doll maker guy from back in the day?
07:41We're looking into it.
07:42Get going to the crime scene.
07:43We'll send you what we find.
07:59Hello?
08:02We're closed!
08:03Oh, my God.
08:33I've had to come to you in the garden
08:37In your life, but you're falling in the end
08:42It's how I live, who will be in the end
08:52Excuse me?
08:55Who are you?
09:04I'm a big fan of your work
09:41Oh, life could be a dream
09:44If I could take you up in paradise up above
09:47If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
09:51Life could be a dream
09:52I know what you're doing
09:56Where's Barney?
09:57These are not mine
09:59Where's Barney?
10:04Loving you
10:06Life could be a dream, sweetheart
10:10Now every time I look at you
10:15Something is on my mind
10:18If you do what I want you to
10:22With your mind
10:46I know what you're doing
10:47I know what you're doing
10:53Where's Barney?
10:55Where's Barney?
11:03Check in this file, sir
11:15What's your name?
11:18Peter
11:19It's nice to meet you
11:20What does a guy have to do to get a drink around here?
11:24You're funny
11:26No, I'm not
11:28I'm hilarious
11:32I think we've had a breakthrough, Dylan
11:36Yo, he's really good at that
11:38I couldn't even see his mouth move
11:40Um, that's what ventriloquism is
11:43Dude's doing group therapy
11:44With himself
11:46As far as pit treatments go
11:48That feels pretty normal
11:51I mean, look, the dolls are weird
11:53But we've seen wound therapy
11:55Yeah, well, according to his file
11:56Typical therapies fail to yield any results
11:58And Dylan refused to speak to the pit doctors
12:00So eventually, they leaned into his comfort zone
12:02There's a precedent
12:03It's a variation of Gestalt Therapy's empty chair technique
12:06I heard of that
12:08Basically, the patient has a conversation with an empty chair
12:11Which is supposed to represent the person he has a conflict with
12:15Giving them a chance to talk out their repressed emotions
12:19Yeah, you're right
12:20So Dylan, with the dummies
12:21It allowed him to feel in control of every conversation
12:23Allowing him to externalize his inner world
12:26Because he can play patient and therapist
12:28He even went so far as to name the dummies
12:30According to this, Peter and Debbie had fully developed personalities
12:34So while Dylan's playing therapy with the dummies
12:37The doctors have a unique insight into his core trauma
12:39Which was the public shame of being teased
12:42I can't really remember the first time he teased me
12:44I was six or eight
12:46What do you remember?
12:48Anger
12:49He shouldn't have treated you that way
12:51But he got what he deserved
12:52I punched him in the stomach
12:54Watched him gasp for air
12:56It was hilarious
12:59Hey, Dylan
12:59Want to hear a joke?
13:01Sure, Peter, I'd love to
13:02What's the difference between a Lamborghini and a dead body?
13:06I don't know
13:07What?
13:08I've never had a Lamborghini in my garage
13:15All right, that's enough of that
13:16We get the point
13:19Well, at least he's not, you know, smashing the dummies, you know
13:22Well, speaking of
13:23It says here
13:24These dolls were handmade by Nicholas Fletcher
13:29Wait, the guy who Dylan just put in a coma?
13:32He was special ordered by Pitt doctors
13:35You think Dylan knew that?
13:39That's right
13:40Nicholas Fletcher signs a head stick on every figure he ever made
13:43I've been his assistant for five years now
13:46I can't believe this happened to him
13:49The guy is a legend
13:51Nicholas Fletcher is the preeminent figure maker in the United States
13:56You ever heard of Slappy Sammy?
14:02Jeff Miller uses him in his act
14:04And Nicholas made him
14:05So if you're in this world, you've definitely heard of Nicholas
14:08Oh, yeah
14:23Whoa
14:24I thought this guy liked dolls
14:27Victim's blood
14:30This is definitely not what I expected
14:33Pre-Pitt Dylan, he would beat his victims to death
14:36But then leave their homes relatively unpatched
14:39Now he's shooting an old man without laying a hand on him and trashing the whole shop
14:42It's like his early days at the pit when he was smashing all those puppets
14:47Why come all the way here to do that, though?
14:51None of these look like Debbie or Peter
14:56Okay, you're Dylan
14:58You leave the pit and you lose your ventriloquist dummies in the blast
15:01So you look up the guy that made them
15:03You come here to repair or replace them
15:05But you don't find what you're looking for
15:09So you go nuts
15:11And you trash the place
15:13So where does Dylan go from here?
15:17I think Dylan came here to find another Peter and Debbie
15:20And I don't think he's going to stop looking until he does
15:24Give me a sec
15:34Hi, I'm so sorry to bother you
15:36I need to see Nicholas' sales records, names, numbers
15:40Anyone who might have bought a dummy from him
15:42I told the cops already
15:43Nicholas' ledger, it's gone
15:47What about computer records?
15:49No, Nicholas is old school
15:51He only keeps handwritten records
15:54Sorry
15:55Thank you
15:57Hey, guys
15:59Looks like Dylan stole Fletcher's sales ledger
16:01He's looking for another Debbie and Peter
16:03That means anyone who's ever bought either of them is in danger
16:09Hey, Morales
16:10I need you to scrub the internet
16:11Look for anyone who's posted about or with a Peter and Debbie dummy
16:14On it
16:14Keep us posted, okay?
16:15Okay, get you something when I have it
16:17Well, let's go
16:31Uh...
16:31Let's go
16:31No, Nicholas
16:31Oh, my God
16:40Well, that's what we need
16:41To go
16:42Oh, my God
16:43Oh, my God.
17:13Oh, my God.
17:45Oh, crud.
17:48What is it?
17:49A woman named Jane Hines was just found shot dead in her home 20 minutes from Fletcher's shop.
17:53Is it our guy?
17:54He was carrying a wooden figure.
17:56Yeah, that'll do it.
17:57All right, get this to Bex.
17:58I'll call the locals and give them a heads up that the team's on the way.
18:17Jane didn't have any enemies.
18:20Everyone loved my sister.
18:22I'm sure they did, ma'am.
18:26Y'all must be the feds.
18:27We heard you were coming.
18:28Yeah, your sergeant already briefed us.
18:30We'll take you from here.
18:32I'm sorry for your loss, ma'am.
18:36Oh, my God.
18:38Why don't you give me a minute?
18:39Sure.
18:40Yeah.
18:44It's Kari, right?
18:46Yes.
18:47Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions?
18:49Of course.
18:50But I don't know anything.
18:54You might know more than you think.
18:58This might sound odd, but did your sister own any dolls made by a man named Nicholas Fletcher?
19:05A doll?
19:06No.
19:08Jane really wasn't the doll type.
19:14What is it?
19:17Well, that name, Nicholas Fletcher, I've heard it before.
19:27It's Lazarus.
19:29He says she leaves for D.C. tomorrow, but she's down for dinner tonight if we make it back in
19:33time.
19:35Sounds like she's taking the bait.
19:36Nice work.
19:37Okay.
19:39So, turns out Jane didn't own a dummy.
19:42She was the inspiration for one.
19:44What?
19:44According to the sister she met, Nicholas, at a county fair, and he asked if she would model for one
19:48of the dummies.
19:49Debbie the dummy is based on Jane.
19:52I don't know why, but it makes all of this a lot creepier.
19:55So, maybe Dylan shows up looking to meet the real-life version of his doll.
19:58He freaks her out, things go bad, and he kills her.
20:00I mean, if a guy's showing up at my front doorstep saying he lived in a missile silo for eight
20:04years playing with a doll version of me,
20:06yeah, I think he might be nuts.
20:07Yeah, sure, but if Jane rejected him or called him crazy, why didn't he beat her?
20:12Like he did all the other victims who humiliated him.
20:15No, you're right.
20:16Shooting her in the head is perfunctory, not rage-driven.
20:18But even if Dylan just came here looking for answers, how did he even know about this woman?
20:24I spoke to Ronnie, Nicholas Fletcher's assistant.
20:26Apparently what makes every Nicholas Fletcher dummy so special is the fact that they're all based off of real people.
20:32That ledger wasn't just a bill of sales.
20:34It had a record of every real person whose likeness he used.
20:37And now Dylan has that too.
20:39Okay, so if Jane is the basis for the Debbie dummy, then we need to figure out who the inspiration
20:42for Peter is.
20:43That's where he's going next.
21:01I asked Nicholas Fletcher very nicely to make me another Peter doll, and he still refused.
21:09Are you going to let me go when you're done?
21:13Please, talk to me.
21:20It's scars, new.
21:23What happened?
21:26Rock climbing.
21:29Interesting.
21:31I hear it's very dangerous.
21:35It's very dangerous.
21:43Please, stay still.
21:45Peter needs to look just like you.
21:53Hey, you got something?
21:55Yeah, speaking of Fletcher's assistant got me thinking, so I checked into Jane's finances.
21:59Smart.
22:00And?
22:01And in Jane's big statement, I found a $500 money order that Fletcher sent to her back in 2015.
22:07So we can now then go.
22:08Already did.
22:09Here are all the money orders that Nicholas Fletcher ever sent, and here are who they sent them to.
22:14Morales, can you enlarge four in second row from the bottom?
22:18Kind of looks like the Peter doll, right?
22:22Keith Jones.
22:22Looks like he's a Nebraska native, lives just over the Wyoming state line in Scotts Bluff.
22:26I'll tell the team.
22:28Then get your gun.
22:30You two, Ben.
22:31We're way closer than Beck's and the team.
22:33I'll tell them we got this.
22:56Ben.
23:28I'll tell them we got this.
23:45Looks like Dylan took off.
23:48Gun!
24:06Rex hit!
24:07Which way?
24:08He went out the back.
24:11You're gonna be okay.
24:11Just hang in there, John.
24:12We're gonna get you to a hospital.
24:16You got this.
24:28Dylan's in the wind.
24:29He had a car stashed out back.
24:30I lost him.
24:31How is he?
24:32He needs a hospital.
24:33Let me get him outside.
24:37We passed the hospital on Bluffside just a few miles back.
24:40Stay here.
24:41Secure the scene.
24:42Tell Beck's and the guys what happened.
24:43We need to find Dylan.
24:48Okay.
24:49One sec.
24:51Yo!
24:51Can you guys see me okay?
24:53Yeah, we got you, Ben.
24:53What's up?
24:54What happened?
24:55Dylan ambushed us.
24:56Keith was dead before we got here, and Peck got shot.
24:59What?
24:59Is he okay?
24:59Where'd he get hit?
25:00Bullet clipped him in the side.
25:01He was bleeding a lot.
25:02Okay.
25:03Why aren't you with him?
25:04Morales is taking him to the hospital.
25:05She asked me to stay behind and walk you through the crime scene.
25:07Love that woman.
25:08All right.
25:08Give it to us.
25:10You seeing all this?
25:11Uh-huh.
25:13Well, what's that?
25:14Uh, what?
25:15No, back.
25:15The box on the table.
25:17Yeah.
25:17Looks like a doll making kit.
25:20Eyeballs.
25:20Paint.
25:22Dylan stole it from Nicholas Fletcher's shop.
25:25He's remaking the dummies.
25:27He lost Peter and Debbie in the blast, so now he's visiting the inspirations that they
25:30were based on in order to remake them.
25:32I mean, look at the kit.
25:33You don't lug that around unless you're using it.
25:36There were some unfinished blank face dummies at the workshop.
25:38That's why he went there.
25:40So now he's got the dummy, the dummy making kit.
25:41He's remade Peter and Debbie.
25:43Okay, he's got his dolls, so where does he go next?
25:46I don't know.
25:46And why smash up the place?
25:48I mean, look at that TV.
25:49Looks like he's used it as a punching bag.
25:51What are those videos on the ground?
25:54It seems like a mixed bag of comedy shows.
25:57Solo performances, bootleg specials, how-to comedian videos.
26:02Wait, no, back it up.
26:04That open DVD, what is that?
26:07Live with Jeff Miller and Mr. Bonkers.
26:10A killer good time.
26:12You don't think Jeff modeled Mr. Bonkers after Dylan, do you?
26:16That's exactly what I think.
26:18Hi everybody, I'm Jeff, and this is my friend Mr. Bonkers.
26:22Come on out, Mr. Bonkers, say hi.
26:24I don't wanna.
26:25Why not?
26:26What's there to be afraid of?
26:28It's just so humiliating.
26:31What?
26:32Nobody's gonna laugh at you.
26:33I know.
26:35That's the trouble.
26:36No one laughs.
26:40But if I can't kill him with comedy, I'll hammer home the humor.
26:52That's a bit violent, isn't it?
26:54And?
26:55Well, you can't just go around killing people.
26:57Why not?
26:58How do you think I got these nifty striped pajamas?
27:05I'm guessing Dylan wasn't too flattered about this.
27:08Nope, it's the ultimate form of heckling.
27:10If anything could trigger Dylan's rage, it'd be this.
27:13As he gets out of the pit,
27:14finds out that another comic got famous using him as the punchline.
27:21He's going after Jeff next.
27:30Well, here we are.
27:31Beautiful house.
27:34All that touring money.
27:35Must be nice.
27:37You know, the first time I ever saw the special,
27:39I was hiding out in a shelter right after the blast.
27:42They had a goodwill with all these 99-cent DVDs.
27:46Oh, my God, it's a solid story.
27:49Why are we sitting on our asses?
27:51Be nice.
27:52Dylan needs to find a process of everything.
27:54Find his voice.
27:55I think he's changing his lines.
27:57I'm not.
27:57You're making the right decision.
27:59It's been a long time coming.
28:00This guy's going to get what he deserves.
28:03What do you think, Dr. Debbie?
28:05It's like I always say, Dylan.
28:07You need to make your own decisions.
28:09He's a hack.
28:17I want to hurt him.
28:18Then I think it's important that you hurt him.
28:20I want him to feel exactly how I felt the first time I saw that video.
28:26Hey, Peter.
28:28Knock, knock, knock.
28:30Who's there?
28:31I'm a...
28:32I'm a who?
28:37I'm a go kill Jeff.
28:54I'm a big one.
29:07You're a good one.
29:09I have to hide.
29:11Knock, knock.
29:14You.
29:15No.
29:17That's not how the joke goes.
29:18You shouldn't be here.
29:19I'm calling the cops.
29:22I saw your act, Jeff.
29:25I gotta say, I didn't laugh.
29:36Morales.
29:37Hey, Bex.
29:38How's Peck?
29:39He's still in surgery.
29:41He lost a lot of blood.
29:43I should have cleared the whole house before I...
29:45Hey, hey, hey, stop.
29:46Morales, none of this is your fault, okay?
29:48And it was your quick thinking in getting him to the hospital.
29:51That is the reason he's alive.
29:53Yeah.
29:55Yeah, okay.
29:58Look, I know that you and Peck are close, okay?
30:02When he comes out of surgery, it's gonna be your face that he wants to see.
