00:00:22I'm not alone.
00:00:27A lot of people have this deeply seated awareness that there is something not quite right in
00:00:32their brain, not a flaw or a handicap, a variable.
00:00:39But I'm unique, even among the outliers.
00:00:45My variable is something primal, something bred out of the civilized human long ago.
00:00:55I lack certain inhibitions.
00:01:01Some people get help, medicate, find distractions, take themselves out.
00:01:08I placate the demon.
00:01:14I indulge.
00:01:16It's a curious thing.
00:01:20I never set out to hurt people, per se.
00:01:24It wasn't about the pain.
00:01:26It was about the excitement and the fear, the chase.
00:01:32So why do I kill?
00:01:35Liability aside, because where's the satisfaction letting your quarry just get away?
00:02:01I'm cruising down the highway.
00:02:04And mom walked at 13.
00:02:08I seen a pretty little thing waving at me.
00:02:16So I picked her up.
00:02:20She's got blood on her hands.
00:02:23She said, I have to do it, mister.
00:02:27Please understand.
00:02:31I'm six feet under, six feet down, six feet deep.
00:02:37In the ground, it's where I sleep, it's where I'll stay.
00:02:43In the ground, six feet away.
00:02:46I cut you from her face and the glove from her hands.
00:02:53She smiles.
00:02:54She's literally at me.
00:02:56And says, please understand.
00:03:00She pulls me gloves
00:03:04And whippers in my ear
00:03:08I've got to do it, baby
00:03:12Your end is here
00:03:15Six feet under, six feet down
00:03:19Six feet deep in the ground
00:03:23It's where I sleep, it's where I stay
00:03:26In the ground, six feet away
00:04:01I feel the sharp pain
00:04:04Deep down inside
00:04:09It's not from a broken heart, baby
00:04:12I think I'm gonna die
00:04:16She smiles at me
00:04:19She's got blood on her hands
00:04:23She says, I told you, baby
00:04:26Please, please understand
00:04:31Six feet under, six feet down
00:04:35Six feet deep in the ground
00:04:39It's where I sleep, it's where I stay
00:04:42In the ground, six feet
00:04:45Six feet under, six feet down
00:04:50Six feet deep in the ground
00:04:54It's where I sleep, it's where I stay
00:04:57In the ground, six feet away
00:05:07Sometimes I feel so alone
00:05:12And I think about you
00:05:14More than I should
00:05:16When I'm with my wife
00:05:21When I pour my coffee
00:05:35During my commute
00:05:39You're actually more animal than man
00:05:43Dangerous
00:05:48On the surface, we're actually not so different
00:05:50You and I
00:05:55And we'll find you
00:05:58And this is all gonna end
00:06:01Mark my words
00:06:22Quentin, you know you can't smoke that in here
00:06:32Is this gonna be okay?
00:06:35If you must
00:06:42He's messing with me
00:06:43Who is?
00:06:45You know who
00:06:46The perpetrator you've been after?
00:06:51Yeah
00:06:53We've been through this a few times before
00:06:55He does not know you
00:06:57His actions are random
00:06:59He is not motivated by the way that
00:07:02No, he does know me
00:07:07Quentin, I don't think he knows you exist
00:07:12I think you're a fine detective
00:07:13And I do think you'll apprehend him
00:07:16This type of criminal always gets too confident
00:07:18And they slip up
00:07:19I don't need him to slip up though
00:07:23If I catch him, it won't be because he slipped up
00:07:25I don't need him to slip up
00:07:27I wasn't suggesting you couldn't catch him
00:07:29I just know this type
00:07:31Type?
00:07:32You don't know this type?
00:07:34There's definitely something different
00:07:37You seem to feel like you know a lot about him
00:07:41He's just definitely something else
00:07:52Once you put enough time into an investigation
00:07:54You know, you
00:07:56I know everything there is to know about this guy
00:07:58Except for his face
00:07:59And his name
00:08:01I know the kind of car he drives
00:08:03I know his build
00:08:06I even know his little nuances
00:08:08Quentin, are you making enough time for yourself?
00:08:11Outside of work?
00:08:12For hobbies?
00:08:14Hobbies, yeah
00:08:16I don't have hobbies anymore
00:08:20My, uh
00:08:23My wife thinks I'm having an affair
00:08:27Are you?
00:08:27No, I don't have time for an affair
00:08:30Why does she think that then?
00:08:32Did you talk about it?
00:08:34We talk
00:08:35Yeah, we talk
00:08:39She says I'm distant
00:08:41I can tell if something's
00:08:43She says I'm not there even when I am there
00:08:46And spend too much time on the case
00:08:49You know, late nights
00:08:50Away from home
00:08:52Sounds to me like you are having an affair
00:08:55You know better than that
00:08:58Quentin, an affair isn't always physical
00:09:00You can have an emotional affair
00:09:03Where you're giving more of your time and dedication to someone else
00:09:09You need to work on your marriage
00:09:11Step back and reevaluate where you're spending your emotional support
00:09:15Who you're spending it on
00:09:17You're having an affair
00:09:20Emotionally
00:09:20With him
00:09:24All right, if you say so
00:09:46I can't see the points
00:09:50Of what you're doing to me
00:09:54Crushing my whole world
00:09:58Stopping my heartbeat
00:10:02I can feel the pain
00:10:06But you don't feel the same
00:10:10I will be okay
00:10:14If I just fade away
00:10:20Don't you even realize that
00:10:24You have seen the last of me
00:10:28Goodbye, honey
00:10:30Farewell, baby
00:10:32Now you hear the last of me
00:10:36Now you hear the last of me
00:11:03All the things we've done
00:11:08And what we've put us through
00:11:14Dahlia, wait!
00:11:20Dahlia!
00:11:21Hey there, girl!
00:11:22Dahlia, wait!
00:11:23That's okay, I got her
00:11:26Oh, thank you so much
00:11:32You okay?
00:11:33You took quite a fall
00:11:34Yeah, I'm good
00:11:35I'm just, I was so afraid
00:11:37She was going to get away from me
00:11:38Thank you for getting her
00:11:38Oh, no problem
00:11:39I love dogs
00:11:42I hate dogs
00:11:45Disgusting
00:11:47Well, she must like you
00:11:49She, uh, otherwise
00:11:50Would have taken off
00:11:51But I can't thank you enough
00:11:53I'm Elisa
00:11:54Run
00:11:56Yeah, she's a good dog
00:11:57And a good judge of character, too
00:11:59I think so
00:12:01So, uh, I'll just
00:12:08Yeah, I can take her now
00:12:09Um, I was really lucky you were here
00:12:11Thank you so much
00:12:13Absolutely
00:12:14I'd hate for something to happen
00:12:15To this pretty little thing
00:12:21Hey, Elisa
00:12:24Yeah?
00:12:25Would you like to go out
00:12:26To get something to eat?
00:12:27She doesn't want to
00:12:29But she doesn't want to offend me, either
00:12:31I mean, I really have a lot to do
00:12:32I don't think that I can
00:12:33Something is telling her
00:12:34This is not a good idea
00:12:35I got word tonight for three hours
00:12:37Ice cream
00:12:38We'll go get ice cream
00:12:39But she's going to say
00:12:41Okay
00:12:42Yeah?
00:12:43Okay
00:12:43Um, I have to take her home first
00:12:47And, uh, where can I meet you?
00:12:49I'll tell you what
00:12:50I'll follow you
00:12:51You drop her off
00:12:53And then we'll ride together
00:12:56Okay
00:12:56Yeah?
00:12:57Um, I still run the stop
00:12:59Okay
00:13:01Oh, hey
00:13:03Yeah
00:13:04Do you believe in fate?
00:13:06Yeah, I do
00:13:09Me too
00:13:24Hey, babe
00:13:27Hey, babe
00:13:27Hey, sweetie
00:13:31Here, I sit
00:13:48What do we clean?
00:13:50Things we need
00:13:54Oh, I forgot
00:13:55You barely live here
00:13:59Full of paper
00:14:00Buy one, get one free
00:14:02For all your bullshit
00:14:08Look, I'm
00:14:10I'm sorry that I've been taken away from us
00:14:12And, you know, just
00:14:13Been so distant
00:14:14It's just the
00:14:15The case, I know
00:14:17Yeah
00:14:18Unfortunately, we're not really
00:14:19Getting any closer to catching this guy
00:14:22You can talk to me about it, Quint
00:14:26You don't want to hear about these type of things
00:14:28Well, I don't need to know all the grisly details
00:14:30And I don't want all the horror
00:14:32I just
00:14:32I want to help you
00:14:33I need you to stop isolating yourself
00:14:36I know
00:14:36It's just
00:14:37You know
00:14:38This guy
00:14:38Yeah, he's
00:14:40He's really good
00:14:41He moves the bodies
00:14:42You know, he's clean
00:14:44Always spins up after himself
00:14:45And
00:14:47It's like he's a fucking ghost
00:14:49At least that's what
00:14:49That's what Polanski thinks
00:14:51I'm talking about David Polanski
00:14:53Remember why we had grocery store cake at our wedding?
00:14:56He fell through our three-tier wedding cake
00:14:59Remember that time the plumber came to his house as scheduled
00:15:02And he thought somebody was breaking in?
00:15:04Yeah
00:15:04He had a knife down the back of his pants
00:15:07That he was going to use as protection
00:15:08And he cut his ass crack with it
00:15:10He showed me the scar every single day for two weeks
00:15:13He's honestly lucky the plumber was there to take him to the ER
00:15:18He's actually honestly lucky he didn't have his belt nearby
00:15:21Otherwise he might have shot him
00:15:23Or he would have stepped it down the front of his pants
00:15:25And shot off his
00:15:26Okay, okay
00:15:27Alright, so maybe we shouldn't put much stock in what Polanski says
00:15:31But
00:15:32I mean, he is right
00:15:33This guy has, you know, eluded us
00:15:35And it's just we haven't been able to get him yet
00:15:38So why does he do it then?
00:15:41Why does anybody do what they do?
00:15:42You know, it's just some
00:15:45Psychopaths just bent out on revenge
00:15:47I don't know if it's like an ego trip or what
00:15:49But we just
00:15:52We gotta get him soon
00:15:54Well, maybe you need to think like him
00:15:56Really get in his head
00:15:57Otherwise you'll always just be chasing him
00:15:59A few steps behind
00:16:02Yeah
00:16:06Paper towels
00:16:06Mm-hmm
00:16:08You could use them for takeout
00:16:21Well, I had a really good time
00:16:23Aren't you gonna be late for work?
00:16:25Oh, no, they're flexible
00:16:27Okay, well
00:16:28Thanks again
00:16:29Oh, it's my pleasure
00:16:52Look, I really had a
00:16:54Oh, my God
00:16:55What are you doing?
00:16:57Ah
00:16:58Stop
00:16:59Stop it
00:17:02Stop it
00:17:04Thalia
00:17:05Thalia
00:17:07Thalia
00:17:07Auf
00:17:11Like
00:17:12You
00:17:14자
00:17:14Right
00:17:14You
00:17:14After
00:17:14You
00:17:14Ja
00:17:14You
00:17:14You
00:17:36Ugly
00:17:47Her name's Eliza McBride.
00:17:50Still has her ID, purse, debit card, credit card, cash.
00:17:56This obviously was no robbery, this is obviously not where she was murdered.
00:18:04So, we located her residence, we got there, the doors were locked, lights were off, except
00:18:12for the lamp on the table.
00:18:14Laundry was gone, and everything smelled strongly of bleach, there was a dead dog in the kitchen
00:18:20with a white towel over it, stabbed several times, so we got a team up there now doing
00:18:26a deeper investigation, because we believe that she was killed dead and brought here.
00:18:31All right, so let's just get- Oh God, she really is dead.
00:18:35Did you come up with that intuitive assessment yourself?
00:18:37I mean- That's why we have this guy.
00:18:42To be fair, I'm only here when they're dead, because they're dead.
00:18:48Well, here's your coffee, Robichaud, just like you like it.
00:18:52Why don't you get the hell out of here, go keep the media back.
00:18:55You're welcome.
00:18:57All right, all right, everybody get back, get back.
00:19:01All right, so I want you to keep me updated on everything, as soon as you know I want to
00:19:05know it.
00:19:06You got it.
00:19:06Hey, take it easy on Torres, he's just enthusiastic.
00:19:15It's actually refreshing to see someone still excited about their career, especially when
00:19:21they're surrounded by a bunch of burnt out, bitter old men.
00:19:25Like who?
00:19:26Like you.
00:19:29All right, if you say so.
00:19:33So, you think this is our guy?
00:19:36Hard to say.
00:19:38She definitely looks like his type.
00:19:40Type?
00:19:41He doesn't have a type.
00:19:44He does.
00:19:46Hair color is not consistent, age is different, nothing.
00:19:55It's in their eyes.
00:19:57Their eyes?
00:19:59Even when they're dead.
00:20:01You know?
00:20:03Yeah.
00:20:04Yeah, I definitely do.
00:20:05Hey, where's Polanski at?
00:20:07He couldn't stomach it.
00:20:14Yeah.
00:20:15All right, well, hey, like I said, keep me updated if you can do anything, okay?
00:20:42You all right?
00:20:44Yeah.
00:20:45It's just, she's like my daughter's age.
00:20:49Yeah.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:51I mean, most detectives, they never have to deal with something like this.
00:20:57Not in a town like this one.
00:20:59We really have a serial murderer on a spree.
00:21:04Yeah, it definitely seems like it.
00:21:06I mean, it has to be one guy, doesn't it?
00:21:09One guy?
00:21:10One guy.
00:21:10It is.
00:21:11It's definitely one guy.
00:21:13You think we can catch him?
00:21:15We have to.
00:21:16We can catch another one.
00:21:18There's a lot of pressure though.
00:21:21Definitely.
00:21:21I mean, but this guy, he's so clean, so precise.
00:21:30He has a head on his shoulders.
00:21:32He's not frenzied.
00:21:36It's like he'll move bodies, he leaves his clues, and it's like we're running around chasing
00:21:45their tails.
00:21:45I mean, he's so unpredictable.
00:21:48Yeah.
00:21:51He, it's, I don't know, most of these guys, they have a playlist, and if you listen long
00:21:56enough, you know the next song they're going to play.
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:00But not him.
00:22:02It's almost like, I guess, I don't know, a ghost or something.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06It's actually funny you were saying that.
00:22:07I was just mentioning to Emily yesterday that, uh, you called him a ghost.
00:22:12How is him?
00:22:13It feels like I've not seen her in Moss.
00:22:16Yeah, that's, that's the two of us.
00:22:19You guys alright?
00:22:21I mean, we're working on it.
00:22:23I'm, uh, I'm actually seeing a shrink.
00:22:25A shrink?
00:22:27Yeah, uh, you should actually check her out.
00:22:29Um, Cecilia Norrington, she's over on Road Avenue in that, uh, that brick building.
00:22:33You know the one?
00:22:34Yeah, I know that place.
00:22:36Yeah, you should definitely check her out.
00:22:39Yeah, if one thing, no one needs to be in this mind of mine.
00:22:43Well, between the two of us, if anybody needs a shrink, it's definitely you.
00:22:46Ah, shut up, man.
00:22:50For real though, I hope he does fuck up, and hope he fucks up bad that we can actually
00:22:55take him down.
00:22:56Oh, he will.
00:22:57They always do.
00:22:59He'll definitely fuck up, man.
00:23:01You know that, uh, forensics nerd, Paltrow?
00:23:03Yeah, I know Paltrow.
00:23:05Yeah, he said, uh, something about them having a type, something about it being in their
00:23:09eyes.
00:23:09What do you think?
00:23:11I think Paltrow's a quack.
00:23:12I think this guy's an opportunist, and I think he's getting when the getting is good.
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:20You know, uh, I think, uh, maybe we should talk to the chief something about a, maybe a
00:23:27curfew.
00:23:28You know, you can do that in a small town like this, because you never know what
00:23:32sewer this guy's gonna crawl out of next, you know what I mean?
00:23:35Yeah, I'll mention it to chief.
00:23:38All right, he'll make you do an interview with Wonderboy.
00:23:41Uh, just, uh, remember, don't, don't give this guy a big head.
00:23:45He probably already thinks he's got us chasing their tails, and we don't want to give him
00:23:50more than, more than what he already has, but we need to hit him.
00:23:55We need to hit him where it hurts, and his ego.
00:24:15Can I get y'all anything else?
00:24:17Uh, hot sauce.
00:24:18All right.
00:24:21So, you're doing the interview?
00:24:24I mean, I can.
00:24:25I feel like maybe someone with a little bit more charisma might be better, but yeah,
00:24:29I'll do it.
00:24:29Yeah, we, we don't need any charisma, and we sure as hell don't need anybody to sugarcoat
00:24:33this.
00:24:35You know, I, uh, I agree.
00:24:37I think we do the exact opposite.
00:24:38Me and Flansky were actually talking.
00:24:40Me and Flansky were talking is not a good start to any idea, but I'm listening.
00:24:47So, I mean, it's kind of getting a little too comfortable, I feel like.
00:24:50Um, I feel like we need to, uh, call him out, consult him, and, uh, yeah.
00:24:58Do you mean like a smear campaign?
00:25:00Drag him across the radio?
00:25:03Yeah.
00:25:05It's pretty ballsy, Robichuttle.
00:25:07He could draw attention to you if he knows who you are, and I can't give you permission
00:25:11to do that.
00:25:14But, I've turned my head before, and you know that, and I can do that again.
00:25:20I'll just have him keep me anonymous, just don't have my name in the radio.
00:25:26I think that'll work.
00:25:27I think that'd be best, cause we don't know what this creep is capable of, and if we don't
00:25:33get a handle on this soon, we're gonna have to call in the feds.
00:25:35We're over our heads in this.
00:25:37I gotta get him though, it's the only thing that matters to me now.
00:25:41Yeah, I know it feels that way, but we don't always get them.
00:25:46You remember, there was a string of murders in Hershey County a few years back?
00:25:52Yeah.
00:25:52Yeah, yeah, I do.
00:25:53I just, you know, always thought that, you know, they probably got him, took him down,
00:25:57quiet, nice and easy, away from the reporters, probably the way that that bastard actually
00:26:00deserved.
00:26:02Stopped.
00:26:03Moved on.
00:26:04Moved on.
00:26:05If he moves on, he's not our problem anymore.
00:26:08You know, I like this plant.
00:26:10Let's scare him.
00:26:12Let's put the heat on him.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15I will.
00:26:16Fuck him.
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:23Um, I don't have my wallet, do you care to get the...
00:26:27Nice.
00:26:29No?
00:26:30No.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Alright.
00:26:37Can I get you more coffee?
00:26:43Uh, no thank you.
00:26:44Well, can I get you anything else?
00:26:45Yeah.
00:26:49What's your name?
00:26:53Yeah.
00:27:02What's your name?
00:27:03Catch the wind, and fly away.
00:27:13I will go where you go.
00:27:20Never wander along.
00:27:25There's no time to waste.
00:27:30Cause I can see that one by one, the stars go out.
00:27:38And the sky begins to go.
00:27:44Where the feeling I've never known before.
00:27:50Through the high and low.
00:27:55Nothing comes close.
00:28:00Nothing comes close.
00:28:03Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:06Nothing comes close.
00:28:11Nothing comes close.
00:28:18Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:20Nothing comes close.
00:28:20Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:20Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:21Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:21Nothing comes close to this.
00:28:26And I have no words to say
00:28:33I've opened up the gates
00:28:38With you, with you, with you
00:28:45One by one the stars come out
00:28:51And the sky begins to blow
00:28:56With a feeling I'd never known before
00:29:03Through the high and low
00:29:12Hey babe, how you doing?
00:29:14Hey, he's running a little late
00:29:15Yeah, I think he is, rookie
00:29:23You know, I don't think this was really all that necessary
00:29:26But I want to meet him, he's your detective baby
00:29:29Please don't call him that
00:29:33I'm actually doing an interview tomorrow
00:29:36On the radio, live
00:29:38Really? Is it new information or is it about the curfew?
00:29:41I think it's a good idea, by the way
00:29:43No, we're actually going to shit on him
00:29:45What?
00:29:46Yeah, shit on him
00:29:48We're going to insult him, smear him
00:29:50And maybe if we make him feel as big of a pussy as he actually is
00:29:54He might just up and leave
00:29:55Do you think that's a good idea?
00:29:56I mean, poking the bear doesn't sound smart
00:30:00Well, you know, I was actually listening to what you said actually
00:30:05And, you know, if I was a self-centered egomaniac
00:30:09The last thing I could probably stand is someone insulting me on the radio
00:30:12Call me a caveman
00:30:14And that would make you want to leave your territory?
00:30:17It's worth a shot
00:30:21Hey, I think that's actually him
00:30:23Yeah, let me grab the door
00:30:24Okay, I'll get the plates
00:30:36Hey there, come on in
00:30:38It's a little shot
00:30:40Thanks for having me over for dinner
00:30:41Oh, it's a pleasure
00:30:41Please call me Emily
00:30:42Thank you, I'm Lucas
00:30:43Lucas, kitchen's right this way
00:30:45Okay
00:30:53Hey, Torres
00:30:54Sir
00:30:59Those for me?
00:31:00No, uh, these are actually for you, Ms. Rowe's shop
00:31:03Oh, thank you
00:31:04You're welcome
00:31:08Uh, they've seen better days
00:31:10I don't have AC in my car, so they got a little wimpy, sorry
00:31:12I think they're beautiful
00:31:13Thank you
00:31:16So, Lucas, tell me about yourself
00:31:18Where are you from?
00:31:19Do your parents live around here?
00:31:21Well, I'm over
00:31:23Lucas
00:31:23I'm, I'm Lucas
00:31:25Never knew about yourself
00:31:26But, yeah
00:31:28Um, over in Heresy County
00:31:30No business
00:31:31Never heard of no business
00:31:32Is it in a rights post?
00:31:33South of Foster's Hollow
00:31:35His little shit stayed on the map
00:31:38He's not wrong
00:31:40Mom still lives there
00:31:42Um, I never really knew my dad
00:31:43I mean, I kinda knew him, but he lived when I was young
00:31:47I'm sorry to hear that
00:31:48It must have been hard
00:31:49Nah
00:31:50Actually, it was, uh
00:31:51It was better when he wasn't there
00:31:54Mom's still lonely
00:31:54Cause it was always just the two of us
00:31:57But, uh, that commute was very hard on me
00:31:59So, honestly, she's just proud that I'm in this line of work
00:32:03Well, you're an excellent officer so far
00:32:05Quentin has nothing but nice things to say about you
00:32:10Really, um, that actually means a lot
00:32:12It's, uh, growth old man
00:32:14It's hard to tell sometimes
00:32:15I know
00:32:16Yeah
00:32:18I was actually wondering
00:32:20What's up with the, with the ring on the right hand?
00:32:24You know, it's, uh, actually something I've done for a long time
00:32:27I actually just do it for luck
00:32:30The shooting hand
00:32:31The shooting hand
00:32:32Yeah, it's my shooting hand
00:32:32Yeah, it's my shooting hand
00:32:34Cool, cool
00:32:38I was playing
00:32:39The shooting hand
00:32:39Truth, my love
00:32:41Spill out my clean, white blood
00:32:44Something to wake me up
00:32:48Anything for you
00:32:52Fade, my friend
00:32:54On with the chains again
00:32:57And off with my heavy hit.
00:33:02What do I get?
00:33:04Bring me down, down, down, down, down.
00:33:10Bring me down, down, down, down.
00:33:14Down, down, down.
00:33:17Where there is no motion.
00:33:24No second opinion.
00:33:30Just crystal clear vision
00:33:33Brown skin at the open ocean
00:33:43Sunburned land
00:33:45Feel me even hand
00:33:48Red dirt and golden sand
00:33:51I'll make my own
00:33:56I was lost
00:34:01Oh, I must have been out of my mind
00:34:09I gotta figure it out, figure it out, figure it out
00:34:15She's looking for a little light, I'm looking for a little vibe
00:34:20I said I'm feeling faded high
00:34:22I need a little piece of my heart, yeah
00:34:24I said I'm feeling faded high
00:34:27I need a little piece of my heart, yeah
00:34:49Freshly like making the gold of mine
00:34:58Oh, I have, what's that thing to hide?
00:35:06I gotta figure it out, figure it out, figure it out
00:35:12I'm looking for a little fire.
00:35:14I'm looking for a little fire.
00:35:17I'm looking for a little fire.
00:35:18I don't feel very tall.
00:35:19I never let them be my eyes.
00:35:22I don't feel very high.
00:35:24I need that I'm looking for a little fire.
00:35:26I don't want to fight.
00:35:29I need a little fire.
00:35:33It's good.
00:35:55All right, so that was the boy Damon Addison with City Lights, man that joint was hot, boys on the
00:36:01cover right now, y'all need to check him out.
00:36:04But anyway, I have a really special guest here tonight. This is one of White Branch's own. He's asked to
00:36:10remain anonymous and you're about to see why. Now, let me tell you, folks, this is really exciting, really exciting
00:36:16stuff. He's actually here to talk to us about the serial killer we have on the loose in Delton County.
00:36:21That is what's going on, isn't it? There's been a lot of speculation, but no definitive confirmation by authorities.
00:36:29Yeah, so we do believe that all the recent murders of young women have been by a single perpetrator.
00:36:38Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. We've been calling him the Delton Ripper. Hey, is that catchy? Or her. Could be a her.
00:36:47I mean, this is 2020 after all.
00:36:50Oh, it's definitely a man. Can't confirm. Oh? How do you know? Well, I really can't get too much into
00:37:00the specifics. I unfortunately can't say too much.
00:37:04Uh-huh. Okay, go on. Let's just say he isn't going to be a problem too much longer. We haven't
00:37:11boxed in pretty much and, you know, it's all coming to head.
00:37:14Wow. Listeners, listen. We really are getting the absolute prime in details here. I can't believe it. So, what closed
00:37:23the case?
00:37:24Why? Why would he? Can you tell us that much? No.
00:37:29Well, it's never easy to find these guys at first, especially when you aren't sure the crimes are related.
00:37:35Why would he say any of that? He's very predictable, kind of stale as old bread.
00:37:40He doesn't mean that. It was clear once forensics got involved. He doesn't know what I'm capable.
00:37:45He has a stellar forensics crew, by the way. They don't know yet. I mean, this guy is just a
00:37:50complete dumbass.
00:37:51None of them know what I'm capable of! Can I actually say dumbass on the radio?
00:37:56No, he's bored. Well, you just did twice, but let's keep it clean.
00:38:01Okay, look. He just wants me to spice things up. I'm just going to say, he's not the smartest criminal
00:38:04we've ever had.
00:38:05He was communicating with me. The hardest part about catching him is the same thing.
00:38:09He's like reading through a mountain of evidence, and he leaves behind when he thinks he's cleaning up, but we're
00:38:15going to get this guy.
00:38:16Oh, okay. I thought he would be like a sociopath. I think that's what they call it in crime shows,
00:38:23right?
00:38:23I just got to spice things up.
00:38:24Like really smart, the Ted Bundy type, the looking guy, charming, manipulative.
00:38:29And he was trying to communicate with me through the radio, like that movie with the stereo.
00:38:33Living out some weird fantasy that he thinks he's untouchable, that he's some genius and criminal mastermind, but his time's
00:38:42definitely up.
00:38:43Oh, God!
00:38:56Get off me! Get off me!
00:39:00Shh! Shh! No, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. I'm not mad. I'm not mad.
00:39:04No, I'm not. It's okay. Shh, shh.
00:39:11This is good. This is a good one.
00:39:16This is a good one.
00:39:22Just watch me do this.
00:39:25Oh, Mark.
00:39:27I know I've got this.
00:39:30I know I've got this.
00:39:32Oh, just watch me do this.
00:39:35Hey!
00:39:42What exactly are you expecting to achieve from all this, Ryan?
00:39:48This is new.
00:39:50I don't shy away from talking to myself for inanimate objects, but dead girls usually don't start talking back.
00:39:57That's why I like dead girls. Quiet, pretty things.
00:40:02They're gonna catch you. Moving me. Making more steps. More things for you to mess up.
00:40:10They're not gonna mess up. I know what I'm doing.
00:40:13You dug up a dead girl in broad daylight and put her in your car.
00:40:21If I didn't move you, you were just gonna lay there.
00:40:23You're gonna lay there until you're nothing but bones and teeth.
00:40:26Well, yeah. That's usually the goal.
00:40:29The clues were in the dirt.
00:40:31They called me obvious. They called me predictable.
00:40:34Well, if I'm so predictable, then why didn't they find you?
00:40:39Bunch of idiots.
00:40:41Well, you won't think they're idiots when someone IDs you for digging up my body.
00:40:47No one saw me.
00:40:48Yeah, keep thinking then.
00:40:51Can we crack a freaking window?
00:41:13What do you think about the ice cream?
00:41:14It's pretty good. I think I like this place a lot.
00:41:16Oh, yeah.
00:41:17Yeah.
00:41:17We should go there again.
00:41:18Yeah, for sure.
00:41:20Hey, hold on just a sec.
00:41:22Hello?
00:41:24Hey, I know it's your day off, but...
00:41:27Yeah, what?
00:41:29Well, we've got another body.
00:41:31Well, actually two of them.
00:41:34One with a note in the middle of the damn road saying the real number five,
00:41:38and the other one gutted.
00:41:41Wait, did you say gutted?
00:41:45Yeah, not like him.
00:41:48He's getting reckless.
00:41:52Damn it.
00:41:52What have I done?
00:41:54Fuck.
00:42:02All right.
00:42:03I'll be there.
00:42:04Just keep me updated, okay?
00:42:06Absolutely will do.
00:42:08All right, man.
00:42:09I'll talk to you later.
00:42:17Another one?
00:42:19Two.
00:42:21Do you think it was an interview?
00:42:24Probably so.
00:42:26You can say I told you so now.
00:42:28No fun in that.
00:42:30Let's go home.
00:42:32We need to enjoy our day before you leave tomorrow.
00:43:09Hey, what's going on?
00:43:12Yes, Mom.
00:43:13I swear I'll be there.
00:43:18How are you feeling?
00:43:20Has your doctor got back to you about the test results yet?
00:43:26You're ridiculous.
00:43:28If you were a golden retriever, they'd have called you by now.
00:43:33I'm sure he's a nice man.
00:43:35I'm sure.
00:43:35It's just health care, Mom.
00:43:38That's all I'm saying.
00:43:39Health care is ridiculous.
00:43:42Yeah, listen.
00:43:43I've got to go.
00:43:44I've got to go to daddy.
00:43:46Yeah.
00:43:47Will do.
00:43:49Love you, too.
00:44:02Quint, are you not coming to the funeral?
00:44:05I can't.
00:44:07You've got to pay your respects.
00:44:08They'll expect you to be there.
00:44:10I'm tired of people expecting it from me.
00:44:13I don't want to go.
00:44:14I can't go.
00:44:16I don't want to see that kid's mom sobbing her eyes out.
00:44:20I had to identify that mess, and I didn't want to believe it was actually true until I saw a
00:44:25wallet.
00:44:26No, I'm not going.
00:44:28Well, Polanski was with you when you had to see him, and he was wondering if you don't.
00:44:32I, yeah, no, I don't care.
00:44:33I don't care.
00:44:34I'm not going.
00:44:36Please don't do this to me, Quintner.
00:44:37Do what?
00:44:38They have to be a ball bearer.
00:44:39I don't give a .
00:44:40I don't give a what you tell him.
00:44:42Read my lips.
00:44:44I don't give a .
00:44:46I'm not going.
00:44:49I don't give a .
00:45:10Not a good time, pal, Trevor.
00:45:13Hey, I know, I know, this is , but that's why I wanted to call you.
00:45:18Are you there now?
00:45:19You at the funeral?
00:45:20Can you step away somewhere?
00:45:24No, I, uh, I can't go.
00:45:30I get it.
00:45:31I do.
00:45:35I do.
00:45:38So what's going on?
00:45:41Well, there was a note.
00:45:43The tour is his body.
00:45:46A note?
00:45:48No one said anything about a note.
00:45:51I haven't logged it yet.
00:45:54I don't know if I'm going to.
00:45:57Or open shot.
00:45:59It was addressed specifically to you.
00:46:02You want me to read it?
00:46:15Yeah, go ahead and read it.
00:46:18Detective, do I have your attention yet?
00:46:20I have more plans to paint this little town red in your honor.
00:46:23I know you did not mean those hateful and untrue words that you said on the radio.
00:46:27At first, I was angry.
00:46:29Then I realized you just wanted to see me grow.
00:46:32You just wanted to see something new.
00:46:35Don't worry.
00:46:37I am not done spicing up our lives yet.
00:46:39See you soon.
00:46:42I am not done spicing up our lives yet.
00:46:43That son of a
00:46:46Alright, um, throw that away.
00:46:51Uh, get rid of it, destroy it.
00:46:52I don't, just, yeah, get rid of it.
00:46:56Done.
00:46:57There's something else.
00:46:59There was a witness who took down the license plate number and the description of the car at the time
00:47:03of the scene.
00:47:05Now, the plates aren't matching our car or our guide, but I think they're missing something.
00:47:09Okay, yeah, keep me posted on that.
00:47:12Let me know if anything changes, okay?
00:47:14I'll check it out.
00:47:16Be safe out there.
00:47:18Yeah, you too.
00:47:48The trust and stupidity of the average person will never cease to amaze me.
00:47:52The trust and stupidity of the average person will never cease to amaze me.
00:47:55The trust and stupidity of our God isetos to be Richard.
00:53:11to death and I just... I can't think that it's not my fault because he went in and beat her
00:53:19to death,
00:53:20cleaned up the place, probably dressed for popcorn and then dumped her body in a levy.
00:53:26I just can't get that off my brain. Is it my fault? You aren't supposed to be telling me these
00:53:31details. We've talked about this. You ask why? You ask why I come in and why I talk to you.
00:53:39I need you to listen.
00:54:12So, uh, can you tell me what happened?
00:54:17Take your time. I know it can be hard to talk about.
00:54:21Oh no. I just shook up.
00:54:24Can you tell me what he looked like? What he was driving? Do you know where he was going?
00:54:29He was good looking.
00:54:31Okay. Can you tell me some more details? Maybe what his race was even?
00:54:37Oh, white guy. Probably six foot. Average build. Brown hair. Pretty eyes.
00:54:46Pretty eyes. What color were his eyes? I'm not sure. Maybe blue.
00:54:51What was he driving? It was a silver four-door car.
00:54:55Can you tell me exactly what happened? He just called me over to his car.
00:55:02Just like that? Yeah. Just pulled up?
00:55:06He pulled up and asked where I was headed if I needed a ride. I said no thank you and
00:55:12he didn't seem to like that.
00:55:14And then?
00:55:16He just drove off. I was a few blocks down when I noticed his car again.
00:55:22I got a little nervous and there he was. He just came out of nowhere and grabbed a hold of
00:55:29me.
00:55:30How were you able to get away? I'm not a victim. I hit him in the head with my purse.
00:55:38With your purse?
00:55:44Oh, gotcha.
00:55:46I just kept hitting him and screaming for help and this group of girls was coming up the opposite side
00:55:53of the street and it must have spooked him because he just got in his car and drove off.
00:55:58Well, thank you for your time. And again, I'm sorry you had to experience this.
00:56:04Is that all? Did I help?
00:56:07Of course.
00:56:09Oh, I have his plate number if that's important.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:15Would that be helpful?
00:56:17Immensely.
00:56:19Okay. I took a picture of his car as he was headed out. It's blurry, but...
00:56:25Thank you so very much.
00:56:32Oh, thank you so much.
00:56:56Hey, yeah, I'm just leaving work. I had to lock up.
00:57:00Uh, no, Quentin's making dinner.
00:57:02I think so.
00:57:04Alright, I'll talk to you later.
00:57:07Bye.
00:57:53I gave you a chance.
00:57:56All you had to do was pick up the phone.
00:58:00All you had to do was come and get her.
00:58:04Change the tire. Go home.
00:58:06Hey, Quentin, it's me.
00:58:08I'm just leaving work, and I have a flat tire.
00:58:12If you could just give me a call back, I might need a ride.
00:58:14And if I don't hear from you, I'll probably call David.
00:58:16Just give me a call. Bye.
00:58:18That's all you had to do.
00:58:22I'm glad you didn't let me down.
00:58:24I'm glad you didn't let me down.
00:58:24She is so pretty.
00:58:45Excuse me, ma'am. Car trouble?
00:58:48Yeah, it's just my tire. I don't have a spare, unfortunately.
00:58:51Is someone coming to get you?
00:58:52Well, I've been trying to call my husband, but he's not picking up.
00:58:55Well, there's a service station just up the road.
00:58:57If you'd like, I can give you a ride.
00:58:59You can get a spare and wait for your husband there.
00:59:01Would you mind?
00:59:01Not at all. I was on my way to get some spark plugs anyway.
00:59:04Okay, thank you so much.
00:59:05No problem.
00:59:06No problem.
00:59:44So, your husband, what does he do for work?
00:59:47He's a detective.
00:59:48Oh, really?
00:59:49Mm-hmm.
00:59:51Wow, must be a smart guy then.
00:59:53Oh, yeah. Top of his class.
00:59:54Wow.
00:59:55Mm-hmm.
00:59:56So, what's it like being married to a detective?
01:00:00It's interesting, to say the least.
01:00:02Oh, yeah? How so?
01:00:03Well, it has its ups and downs. He's gone a lot, so...
01:00:07Hmm. Is he working on a big case?
01:00:09Yeah. Several local murders. He's trying to catch the guy.
01:00:13Oh, really?
01:00:13Mm-hmm.
01:00:14I heard about that on the radio.
01:00:15Oh, yeah. Yeah. That was him.
01:00:17Wow.
01:00:19So, has he got any clues? Has he cracked the case?
01:00:23He doesn't give me much details, and I don't really ask.
01:00:27That's probably for the best.
01:00:29Yeah.
01:00:29But I do really appreciate you giving me a lift.
01:00:31Oh, no problem.
01:00:33Yeah. I'm always having to tell my husband that there are still good people in the world.
01:00:36He's always so down about people.
01:00:39Well, it's better to assume everyone's a monster than just to think everyone's an angel
01:00:44and climbing the car with a boogeyman.
01:00:48So, uh, what happened to your hand?
01:00:51Hmm?
01:00:52What, uh, happened to your hand?
01:00:54Oh, uh, accident at work.
01:00:57What sort of accident?
01:00:59I was helping a woman install a shower.
01:01:06Why? Why are we slowing down?
01:01:10What are you doing?
01:01:15Ah!
01:01:17Ah!
01:01:18Ah!
01:01:19Ah!
01:01:22Ah!
01:01:27Ah!
01:01:42What?
01:01:44Quinton, I need you to listen to me.
01:01:46It's Emily.
01:01:48Wait, what?
01:01:49Where's Emily?
01:01:52I need you to breathe.
01:01:56David, no.
01:01:57I said where the f*** is Emily?
01:01:58Tell me.
01:02:01What's going on?
01:02:03What's going on, man?
01:02:04Where's Emily?
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:15Alright, I'll see you there, man.
01:02:16I'll see you there, man.
01:02:16Alright.
01:02:17Alright.
01:02:41I'll see you there.
01:02:52Let his sacrifice on the cross not be your sacrifice in life.
01:03:02The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not walk
01:03:06He makes me lie down in green pastures
01:03:10He leads me beside the still waters
01:03:14He restores my soul
01:03:17He leads me in right paths
01:03:20For His name's sake, even though I walk through the darkest of valleys
01:03:24I shall fear not fear
01:03:27For Thou, O Lord, art with me
01:03:32Your rod and Your staff, they are my comfort
01:03:36You prepare us a table
01:03:39In the presence of mine enemies
01:03:43You anoint my forehead with oil
01:03:48For my comfort flows
01:03:52Surely, goodness
01:03:57Him mercy
01:03:58In the house of the road
01:04:07And the land of the world
01:04:10In the land
01:04:11The earth is Michaels
01:04:15And those who live in, for he has found it in on the seas and the steps and on the
01:04:23rivers.
01:04:24Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
01:04:28And who shall stand?
01:04:35Those who have made me in, those who have made me in, those who have made me not.
01:04:42And who have made me that I've made me that I've made me long.
01:04:46And the power of your salvation,
01:04:59when such is a company in church,
01:05:02I receive the grace of God who has made me China,
01:05:06and where they can forgive me.
01:05:11That the King of Glory may come.
01:05:15Who is the King of Glory?
01:05:17The Lord.
01:05:19Strong and mighty.
01:05:21The Lord mighty in battle.
01:05:24Lift up your hands, O kings.
01:05:27And be lifted up, the King of Glory may come in.
01:05:35Who is this King of Glory?
01:05:42Thank you for coming.
01:05:47Thank you for coming.
01:05:52Thank you, creature.
01:05:53You're welcome.
01:05:54I'm sorry for your loss.
01:05:55Go ahead and take as much time as you need.
01:06:00Hi, thanks for coming.
01:06:01My condolences.
01:06:03I'm truly sorry for your loss.
01:06:06Emily was a great person.
01:06:09She really was.
01:06:11Do I know you?
01:06:13I don't believe we've ever met.
01:06:16I was just an old friend of hers.
01:06:18Well, I definitely appreciate you coming.
01:06:28You're not scheduled to come in today, Quinn.
01:06:30How are you doing?
01:06:33It's my fault.
01:06:35It's all my fault.
01:06:36All of it.
01:06:37No, it's not, Quentin.
01:06:39You can't blame yourself for the actions of a madman.
01:06:42Look, you've been telling me for over a year now that my actions have consequences.
01:06:52Quentin, I think you need to take some time off of work.
01:06:56Yeah, so did Chief.
01:06:58And I might have to delay now.
01:07:01So I have all the time I need and I don't know if I'll go back.
01:07:07They took me off the case because of personal matters.
01:07:16So why are you still wearing your uniform?
01:07:19It's all I have now.
01:07:21I don't know what else to do.
01:07:30I don't know.
01:07:30I don't know.
01:07:38What do you want?
01:07:38I'm getting a kielbasa.
01:07:39Hey, it's Paltrow.
01:07:42I have color ID, moron.
01:07:44I got the bastard.
01:07:45I got an ID on him.
01:07:47Have you told the Chief?
01:07:49No.
01:07:49Listen, I'm telling you.
01:07:51I know what you do with that information is up to you.
01:07:55I think Robichot deserves to know.
01:07:56You know he isn't okay right now.
01:07:58I know.
01:07:59I know.
01:08:00He's never going to be okay.
01:08:03That's why I think he deserves to know.
01:08:05I'm washing my hands of it.
01:08:06Okay.
01:08:07Give me his name.
01:08:09Theodore Orion Gray.
01:08:11Goes by Ryan.
01:08:12He works at a garden center in town.
01:08:14Got a sighting of his car at the store.
01:08:17He gets off in half an hour.
01:08:21Got it.
01:08:22Got to go.
01:08:23I got to go.
01:08:35What's up, man?
01:08:36What's up?
01:08:37Paltrow gave me some information.
01:08:41I don't know man, I think I just need time to heal.
01:08:46Listen, I know who he is, where he is.
01:08:48I'm gonna give you 30 minutes before I tell the chief
01:08:52so you can go get him.
01:08:53You can go get that son of a bitch.
01:08:55His name is Theodore Orion Frey
01:08:58and he works at the garden center
01:08:59and he gets off in 10 minutes.
01:09:01You get that son of a bitch man, you get him.
01:09:13Let's go.
01:09:36Come on.
