Trick-or-treat.

Hey!

[Tires screeching]

[Dramatic music]

I'm told we have a suspect

in the Liz garner
murder Halloween night.

Donna Kale... Picked
up this morning.

- You have your doubts?
- Have you seen the photos?

'It takes a lot of muscles to
strangle somebody like that.'

she's a meth head.

Strength of ten men
when they're high.

Plus, she was
caught trying to burn

the victim's blouse
and pocketbook.

She gave her statement?

She said she found
the items in a park

morning after the murder.
Then she asked for a lawyer

then she clammed up.

Public defender's on his way.

- Motive?
- Drug robbery.

Husband said the wife had
300 bucks in her pocketbook.

You find the money?

She was smoking the last
of it when we arrested her.

Why take the victim's blouse?
The rape kit came up clean.

Maybe she was making
it look like a sex crime.

Neighbors called the
cops about some kids

who were fooling on
the garner property.

- Could've scared her off.
- You think a woman did this?

It happens.

And especially with meth.

Look, this girl's
got quite a record.

Started as a juvenile. She's
got drug arrest up the wazoo.

Alright, if her
lawyer's on the way

we'll take it from here,
detective. Thanks.

Knock yourselves out.

Felony murder.

'Come on, annabeth. It's a
misdemeanor arson charge.'

she deliberately destroyed
evidence from a homicide.

She found the blouse
and pocketbook, okay?

Then she freaked out
and tried to get rid of them.

Three months'
probation, drug rehab.

Suppose you didn't
kill Mrs. Garner

just being there
when it happened

makes you guilty
of felony murder.

'That's 45 years in prison.'

her one year old was in the
room when she was murdered.

How did that feel?

Until you tell us what
you know about this

you're staying in jail.

You can't hold her indefinitely.

Evidence tampering
material witness

accomplice and a
felony murder. Watch me.

She participated in the crime

or she's protecting
somebody who did.

You're get her
talkin' about that

we can discuss a deal.

I'm giving you a chance.

Don't blow it.

Based on the size
and depth of the marks

and bruises on her neck,
the m.E. Says Mrs. Garner

was almost certainly
strangled by a man.

A big man, judging by
the size of his hands.

If Donna Kale was his
accomplice it's still felony murder.

Police think it started
as a drug related robbery.

But you're not buying it?

According to the
m.E., the colorations

of the bruises indicate
garner was strangled

allowed to revive..

Then strangled again.

- Sounds like torture.
- Hm..

Here's another reason.

It's 20 miles from Donna
Kale's house to Liz garner's.

How many junkies travel
half a way across town

to Rob someone
they've never met?

Show her mug shot to
Liz garner's husband.

Donna Kale? That's who you
arrested for killing my wife?

You know her?

Yeah, she grew up down the
street. I've known her forever.

This is gene Kale's daughter.

She ever threaten
you? Or your wife?

- Donna? No.
- She is an addict.

I never thought she
was dangerous. She's..

She's just sad.
She's really, uh..

Screwed up, you know. She's..

You sure she's the
one who did this?

At the very least we
think she's involved.

Meth can make people mean.

Well, I've never
seen that side of her.

I did see her, though,
the day after Liz was..

The day after..

[Intense music]

It's okay. Take your time.

[Music continues]

I was, uh..

Coming back from
the funeral home

and her dad was taking down
his Halloween decorations

and she was out
front talking to him.

I remember thinking..

You know, how
ordinary it all was..

I'm about to Bury my wife and..

Life goes on. Just..

Donna have a boyfriend?

There was this guy she used
to hang around with sometimes.

- You know, he made me nervous.
- Druggie?

Yeah. It was
written all over him.

- Mrs. Kale?
- She died when Donna was born.

And gene raised her on his own.

Donna's not involved in
this. I know my daughter.

With all due respect, sir,
your daughter's a junkie..

A drug addict.

I assume you checked her record.

It's all possessions,
small amounts.

She doesn't deal and she
doesn't steal to support her habit.

She doesn't work either.

[Sighs]

I give her money... Sometimes.

Look, I know it's wrong..

But she comes by..

Says it's for clothes
or to pay bills.

I know what it's for, but..

She's my kid.

She's got a problem.

She'd never hurt anybody.

What about her boyfriend?

They broke up last year.

I met him a few
times. Tim something.

Veeter, Tim veeter.

Are you sure
about the time, Tim?

It was Halloween night, man.

You didn't do a
little trick-or-treating?

You think he's involved?

He's got an alibi for
the time of the murder.

- Narcotics anonymous meeting.
- Why'd you bring him down?

'Cause when we asked him
about Donna, he stopped talking.

- Lawyered up?
- Sponsored up.

Said he couldn't
talk to us about it

unless we got his n.A.
Sponsor down here.

Sponsored up? That's a new one.

[Knock on the door]

Could be him now.

I hope so.

Why, you got
someplace else to be?

Mark shell.

Halloween night, Mark.

I was with Tim at St. Stan's

from about a quarter
of 8:00 to 9:30, 9:45.

We'll need the names of
everybody at that meetin'.

So... you're ready to talk
about Donna Kale now?

I saw her last night...
At an n.A. Meeting.

She seemed like she needed
it. She was barely hanging on.

And you know why, so tell me.

[Intense music]

This was a vicious homicide.

Mother of two young kids.

Now is the time to share.

Donna told me
this in confidence.

It's supposed to be
sacred what's said

at those meetings to each other.

If it helps get
Donna out of jail, Tim

I think it's alright.

She said..

"I think my father killed
somebody last night

'on Halloween."'

- 'she say who?'
- That woman in the news.

Liz garner?

[Dramatic music]

Donna Kale just flat out denies

she ever told the ex-boyfriend
her father killed Liz garner.

Without corroboration,
Mr. Veeter's statement is worthless.

We should search
Kale's house anyway.

We know Donna was there
the day after the murder.

If either one's involved
we need to move fast.

The ex-boyfriend's
statement is hearsay.

To use it to get a search
warrant we need to corroborate.

It's not the basis
for the warrant.

Maybe we put into the affidavit
to persuade a friendly judge.

It's risky. The trial judge
could invalidate the warrant

and we'd lose any
evidence we found.

We'll lose that evidence
anyway if Kale destroys it.

Keep the affidavit simple.

Basically, veeter's
statement is corroborated

by Donna Kale's actions
the day after she visited

'her father's house.'

burning the blouse
and pocketbook.

What about Donna Kale? We
either charge her or let her go.

If her father is the killer, we're
gonna need her testimony.

And if she's his
accomplice, she's still

on the hook for felony murder.

Charge her with evidence
tampering for now.

And ask the judge
to set a stiff bail.

We'll swear out
the search warrant.

[Dramatic music]

Will I be able to attend my
deacons' meeting this afternoon?

I wouldn't count on making
that meeting, brother.

'It's important. I'm on
the facilities committee.'

rectory needs a new roof.

Techs found a trace of blood

under the lid of the
washing machine.

I build birdhouses. Nicked
myself on a band saw.

You ought to be
more careful, Mr. Kale.

With luminol we found more blood

smeared on the
front of the washer.

- Somebody tried to wipe it up.
- Like I said...

If it's yours, no problems.

But if it's Liz garner's,
on the other hand..

[Dramatic music]

Where'd you get these?

Huh?

Where?

Ed!

Turn around.
You're under arrest.

Mr. Kale, you have
the right to remain silent.

Anything you say may
be used in a court of law.

- If you can't afford attorney...
- I can afford an attorney.

Excellent. The system works.

[Dramatic music]

Tear this place apart.

[Music continues]

Recognize any of these women?

'Between '84 and
'97, a serial killer here'

in Indianapolis, strangled
and suffocated eight women.

He killed his eighth

and as far as we know
last, nine years ago.

Liz garner was
strangled and suffocated.

(Ed) 'Yes, she was.'

(annabeth) 'These are
photocopies of the driver's licenses'

'of all the women he killed.'

just sitting on the bookshelf
where anybody could find them.

Talk about brazen.

(Ed) 'Anne blackwood
was the last known.'

1997. I caught the case.

I remember the blackwood
murder, I was in law school.

The killer had a
name for himself, right?

The professor, that's the
name he used to sign the letters

he sent to the
newspapers and the police.

He would send copies of
the victim's driver's license

'and a piece of fabric
from her clothing.'

if it's the same mo as garner
strangled and suffocated..

Why didn't I see it right
off? Wasn't exactly the same.

And the garner crime scene
was nothing like the professor's.

He was probably interrupted
before he could finish.

The professor's crime scene
was always clean, right? No DNA.

Pristine. Never left any hair,
skin, blood or fingerprints.

Nothing.

'Victim's body washed..'

and naked on a
clean, white sheet.

Another sheet laid over
like you'd see in a morgue.

Something I don't understand.

It's got all the earmarks

of a sex crime but
he didn't touch them.

In his letters he
claimed to be celibate.

Insisted the killings were
about science, not sex.

- What do you mean, science?
- The science of death.

His letters said he was
doing research for a book.

You really think
Kale is the professor?

I'm not saying these
photocopies get you a conviction..

But they convince me.

Not me. Not that I
wouldn't love convicting

a famous serial killer but..

We're not gonna do
it with photocopies.

Agreed.

No, we need the actual drivers'
licenses, the victims' clothing.

They're not in Kale's house.

The cops and crime
techs tore it apart.

Alright, keep working on it.

In the meantime,
the blood evidence

from Kale's basement came
back as a match for Liz garner.

- The m.E. Confirmed it today.
- 'That's enough.'

even if Kale is the professor

we push ahead with
the garner murder.

At least there, we have
something concrete.

Guaranteed Kale's
defense attorney

will challenge the search.

The warrant was a little iffy.

Talk to the daughter again.

If she'll testify
where she found

the blouse and the
pocketbook and corroborate

what she told her ex-boyfriend,
we can shore up our case.

Maybe if Donna Kale knows
her father is a serial killer

she'll stop protecting him.

What we discuss
today is confidential.

- I need your word.
- You have mine.

I can't speak for
her, of course.

She'll keep the secret.

How do you know that?

Because it's her secret too.

You told Tim your
father killed Liz garner.

No. I didn't-i
didn't tell him that.

We found her blood
in his basement.

We found evidence in his
home linking him to other women

other murders,
Donna, eight of them.

[Dramatic music]

'Maggie Kelly.'

your father killed her
in 1984. You were six.

He took her striped
sweater as a memento.

He's a serial killer?

- Jeffrey, he's the professor.
- Professor? You're kidding.

No, unh-unh. It's not possible.

It's not possible?

Of course it is.

'Rebecca bartlett, 29. Your
father killed her in 1991.'

'he took her green print
scarf to remember her by.'

'you were 12.'

these women have nothing
to do with me or my father!

Anne blackwood, 26.
He killed her in 1997.

You were 19. He took
her purple baseball Jersey.

- Donna, please..
- Leave me alone!

[Sighs]

We're charging
your father tomorrow

in the murder of
Elizabeth garner.

You knew Mrs. Garner..

And her family.
You were neighbors.

Donna, ask yourself.

What are you doing?

Why are you protecting him?

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

One count of murder,
Mr. Kale. How do you plead?

- Not guilty, your honor.
- Bail?

On the matter of
bail, your honor

the evidence in this
case is extremely weak

not merely circumstantial,
it's inferential.

It's forensic, your honor.

The victim's blood was
found in the defendant's home.

Save the back-and-forth
for trial, counselors.

Defendant is remanded.

I'll see you this afternoon.

Some show.

Thought you guys had a
big-time serial killer on your hands.

- Where'd you hear that?
- Word gets around.

- Cops talk, lawyers talk.
- We're investigating.

In the meantime, we
have him dead to rights

on the murder of Liz garner.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Motion to suppress the blood
evidence from the Kale house.

- Dream on.
- Have a nice day.

Well, we knew this
motion was coming.

I wish we could get
Donna Kale to testify.

I'm not sure keeping her
locked up is gonna work.

She's holding on to her secret
like she's a drowning woman

and it's a life preserver.

Denial. Don't talk about
it, pretend it didn't happen.

- Maybe it'll all go away.
- No wonder she takes drugs.

She reacted to the pictures
of the dead women like

she felt guilty for what her
father had done to them.

Guilty? She was a child.

Oh, man. Look at her arrests.

Thirteen years old she gets
busted for booze and pot.

I think she knew what he
was doing even back then.

Keeping this secret
has ruined her life.

Mr. Garner told ed and ray

Donna has always been a
sad case, since she was a child.

Raised by a serial killer,
how could she not be?

Kale knew the
garners pretty well.

For years.

All of Kale's victims

lived in shady side township..

Within five miles of his house.

Maybe he knew his
other victims, as well.

We should start with
the most recent one first.

Anne blackwood.

I think of Anne every day.
What I think is, she's dead.

The man who killed her is
still out there walking around

breathing the air...
Happy to be alive.

- So he's the professor?
- 'We think so.'

he killed a woman
a few days ago.

He looks kind of familiar. But I
don't know, I'm not placing him.

Did you or Anne ever attend
the first methodist church?

Sorry, presbyterian. Why?

- He's a Deacon.
- A Deacon?

Who would suspect a Deacon.

Like I said, he looks
kind of familiar, but..

(Ed) 'How about this one?'

- 'now, who's that?'
- Same guy.

That's what he looks like now.

That's why he looks
familiar. The uniform.

'I remember him. He
used to patrol around here.'

he cited us once

letting the dogs
run off the leash.

Now we know how to connect
Kale to the victims, his job.

Kale's job's giving
people tickets, right?

Grass is long, Kale
writes you a ticket.

Garbage can missing
lid, Kale writes a ticket.

Riding a bike on the sidewalk...

Kale writes you a ticket.

We ran a computer
search of Kale's citations.

He ticketed Liz garner
for a trash can violation

one week before he killed
her and four other times

in the three months
prior to her death.

You found a similar pattern
with the other victims?

Computer records
only go back to '89.

But from '89 forward
the answer's yes.

Kale ticketed every
one of his victims

'multiple times in the months
before they were murdered.'

that can't be a coincidence.

A defense attorney
would argue it's exactly that

just Kale doing his job.

That's why we gotta
through Kale's records

from before '89, see
what else there is.

Get a subpoena.

Will do.

(Maureen) 'Here's another one.'

this one about Liz garner

written in the
margin of a citation.

"Lizzie g, home
alone, 10:36 until 3:49."

"Bonnie arrives. Mr. G, 6:42".

Just like the photocopies
of the licenses

hidden in plain sight.

If you consider burying it in
a hundred thousand pages

of parking tickets and lawn
care citations plain sight.

'But you see what I mean.'

'Kale wants this stuff to
look like work-related notes'

written in the
margin of a citation

but you put it all together..

He had 'em under surveillance.

- He was stalking 'em.
- Planning their deaths.

[Dramatic music]

Annabeth, sorry to wake you.

[Instrumental music]

You charged Mr. Kale
for the garner murder.

What's this about?

Your client..

Is the professor, Mr. Bosco.

Mrs. Garner was
his ninth victim.

'If you could prove that'

I doubt you'd be sitting
here trying to make a deal.

Her accusations are ridiculous.

For Mr. Kale's confession
to the eight previous murders

as well as Liz
garner's we'll agree

not to seek the death penalty.

I can't advise my
client to take a deal'

without knowing about your case.

His work records connect
him to all the victims

including Liz garner.

They show how he surveilled
them, timed their attacks

his points of entry and
escape from their homes.

That interpretation
of my work records

shows a lively
imagination, miss chase.

' "June 12, 2006"'

"8:47 A.M., Liz's
husband departs."

"9:17, Liz goes
to grocery store."

"10:51, Liz home. Ice cream."

"6:24 P.M., husband Jim
home from hard day at office."

Is that related in any
way to your work?

'Yes, it is.'

residents cited for violations
often make excuses.

My detailed notes ensure
that when such excuses

are less than truthful,
they do not convince

our town's credulous
magistrates.

If that's the best explanation
you have, Mr. Kale

you're gonna be
executed for these murders.

I should discuss
this with my client.

'No need.'

I'm innocent. I'll take
my chances at trial.

Then we'll proceed
with the charges.

I don't care what you
told Kale or his lawyer.

I'm not ready to indict
him on the serial killings.

These records prove
Kale tracked every one

of the professor's victims.

But not that he murdered them!

If this were any other case

I would go ahead and
indict but we cannot afford

to be wrong about Kale.

Or worse, right and
not get a conviction.

Are you running
away from this case?

Ed.

Do you believe Kale
killed these women or not?

Let's grab some
coffee, alright, man?

That's a good idea. I
suggest you do that.

They matter, conlon!

Their families have
been waiting for years!

Believe me, ed... I
want to indict him.

(Conlon) 'So why don't you
find me the victims' clothing?'

find me their driver's licenses.

Find me the typewriter he used

to type the letters that he sent
to the papers and the police.

I'll indict Kale on
the professor killings

when you find me something
other than your opinion

about how to proceed
with a murder trial.

I've done 43 of
them. How about you?

You want to keep your
perfect record, is that it?

- Your winning streak?
- 'Come on, big fellow.'

before you say
something you really regret.

[Intense music]

Continue prepping
for the garner trial.

We have the hearing
on bosco's motion

to suppress in the morning.

I'm not anticipating
any trouble, are you?

[Music continues]

If we lose the blood
evidence, we are in trouble.

Then we'd absolutely need
Donna to testify against her father.

- And if she still won't?
- He'll probably walk.

The blood evidence
from Mr. Kale's house

should be
suppressed, your honor.

Indiana code 35-33-5-2
requires a search warrant affidavit

based on hearsay
to be corroborated.

The warrant was
based on many facts.

It wouldn't have been issued

without Timothy
veeter's statement, sir.

Did investigator
Williams corroborate

Mr. Veeter's
statement, miss chase?

The totality of
the circumstances

corroborated the
statement, your honor.

You didn't quite answer
my question, miss chase.

Without providing
any factual basis

a drug addict reports
to the authorities

his addict ex-girlfriend's
suspicion that her father

killed Liz garner. How does
that corroborate anything?

Miss Kale visited her father

shortly before burning evidence
taken from the murder scene.

Critical claim of the
affidavit was that Mr. Kale

murdered Liz garner.

Under the Mason precedent,
the statement needs more

than Donna Kale's whereabouts
hours before burning evidence

from the murder scene
to corroborate that claim.

The magistrate who issued
the warrant could have asked...

It's not that magistrate's
court, miss chase, it's mine.

The affidavit falls short, the
blood evidence is suppressed.

Why are you letting me out?

I thought you'll finally be
willing to talk to me if I did.

I don't care what you do.

I'm not talking to
you about my father.

Donna, I saw the way you
looked at those pictures.

You knew about those women.

That's why you started taking
drugs when you were a kid.

You knew what he was doing.

That must have been such
a terrible burden for you.

I can't imagine what
you've gone through.

I'm sorry.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

I want Kale indicted for
the serial killings today.

- What?
- You heard me.

We're charging Kale
with the professor killings.

Why the change of heart?

Because ed here forced my hand.

He leaked the
story to the press.

'Now if I don't charge
Kale, I look weak.'

if I don't convict him,
I look incompetent.

"Will the professor walk?

"Indy's most notorious
killer's slipping through

prosecutor's fingers."

Wasn't me.

"Asked why Kale
had not been indicted

'"on the professor's
eight claimed murders.'

"an anonymous source
close to the case said

"that chief deputy prosecutor,
conlon was too cautious

"to put forward a case
of which he was not

100 percent certain
he could win."

I don't care what you
think, I didn't rat you out.

Then who did? If
not you, then who?

I'm not an anonymous source.

That's my story, I'd
put my name on it.

If this comes back
to you, you're done.

(Annabeth) Wait, wait.

What if Kale leaked
the story to the papers?

Why would Kale wanna be
charged with those eight murders?

Attention.

Appreciation for
his criminal genius.

He's facing the death penalty.

And his lawyer
just kicked our butts

on the garner blood evidence.

Maybe he thinks he can get
away with the professor killings too.

That's his fantasy.

To be indicted as the professor
but acquitted of the crimes.

Thumb his nose at the world.

Well, that's quite a
gamble on his part.

He doesn't see it that way.

He's so smart. It
isn't a gamble at all.

For him it's the
ultimate victory.

The culmination
of his life's work.

I want the
indictments filed today.

And I want a press conference
scheduled for this afternoon.

If there's gonna be a show..

It'll be my show, not Kale's.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Intense music]

[Crowd whispering]

People versus Eugene
Kale. Eight counts of murder.

Do you understand the
charges against you, Mr. Kale?

- I do.
- 'How do you plead?'

not guilty, your honor.

Since the accused is already in
custody, I assume bail is moot?

- I would hope so, your honor.
- 'Mr. Conlon.'

Mr. Kale savagely murdered
nine women in their homes.

'I'm sure you'll agree
he poses a serious threat'

'to the people of Indianapolis.'

'were he to be out on bail
and commit another such crime'

it would truly
be a tragedy, sir.

I do agree, Mr. Conlon.
Mr. Kale is remanded.

[Gavel striking]

[Crowd whispering]

Heard it was quite a show.

Kale loved it. Ate up the
attention with a spoon.

I'm sure he's
never been happier.

I was thinking
about his victims.

Do you think Kale would have
eventually claimed Liz garner

as one of the
professor's subjects?

He got interrupted, the
professor never claimed

any crime that wasn't
perfectly staged.

Where you going with this?

Maybe there were
others he didn't claim.

That he botched for
one reason or another.

Want us to look
through his work records.

Find other women
he might've stalked.

Yeah. Cross reference.

Female assault
and murder victims

in shady side township
for the past 25 years.

If we find a victim who also
received tickets from Kale

she's probably one of his.

She's also probably dead.

Assault victims too, not
just murders. Who knows?

If one of 'em
managed to get away

maybe we even find a witness.

(Ed) 'Excuse me, ma'am.'

can I help you?

Ed Williams, Indianapolis
prosecutor's office.

- Are you charlene Darcy?
- Yes.

Were you the victim of an
assault in December 1994?

Yes, I was.

Could I ask you
to look at a picture?

We've come up with
a possible suspect.

Sure.

Oh, yes.

He had a gun.

He took me to the
basement and tied me up.

Then he..

Choked me until I passed out.

When I woke up,
he asked questions.

What did he wanna know?

What it felt like to die?

The last image that came into
my mind before I blacked out.

How many times did he choke you?

Three or four.

The last time he must have
thought I was dead because..

He untied me.

I came..

I came to, and..

I was on, on the
floor on my back.

'He was standing over me..'

with his pants
around his ankles.

And..

He was..

You know..

Yeah, I-I get it.

Uh, how did you escape?

Well, my husband
wasn't feeling well

came home from
work early that day

which saved my life.

The guy heard Bob in
the driveway, ran away.

He masturbated over his victims.

It might be why he cleans his
crime scenes so obsessively.

Brags about the killing but
embarrassed by the sex?

The professor.

Never thought we'd
discover his dirty little secret.

He's gonna be really embarrassed
when it comes out at trial.

So embarrassed he might
even wanna cut a deal.

You remember her? Hm?

She remembers you.

Only it's not in a
very professorial light.

- And what does that mean?
- He attacked this girl in 1994.

Thought she was dead but
she wasn't, when she woke up

the self-proclaimed
professor here was..

Well, he knows
what he was doing.

You never wrote to the
newspapers about her, did you?

But thanks to his work
records, we found her.

You ladies see things
in these work records..

That just aren't there.

I guess we'll find out
when miss Darcy testifies.

Tells the world what
she saw you doing

when she regained consciousness.

(Jeffrey) 'Once again our
meeting has barely begun'

and you've seemed to turn
it into a kangaroo court, eh?

I think we're done here.

Guard.

Wait.

If this woman saw
you, it was 12 years ago.

We dunno what they
can prove about her.

Or how it relates to the murders
for which you've been indicted.

He knows exactly what
he did to charlene Darcy

and the eight others.

What he would have done to
Liz garner if he wasn't interrupted.

It's why he washed them down and

tucked them in
when he was finished.

He was ashamed.
Not of the killing.

Of the sex.

I will tell you what
you want to know.

You'll confess?

To the nine murders
only, nothing else.

I won't confess to what
you say I did to that woman

and you will not charge me with
what she says she remembers.

(Jeffrey) 'This is a
proffer, miss chase.'

if we don't reach a deal, what
he says cannot be used at trial.

Agreed.

Go on, Mr. Kale.

I wanna speak at
my plea allocution..

For as long as I need.

Guilty, your honor, nine
times. That's all you have to say.

No.

They were very dear to me.

All of them.

Anne..

Maggie..

Rebecca..

Sarah..

Virginia..

Lisa..

Joan..

And Betty.

I held them so
close for many years.

I wanna share with the world
what I learned from them.

My research..

My book..

Which is not yet written.

I have so much
to thank them for.

We let him thank
his victims in court?

Revel in all the gory
details of their deaths?

We take nine murder
convictions for the victory they are.

Kale dies in prison.

He wants to demean
his victims all over again

and torture their families.

I'm sorry for that but
with his confession

we avoid going to trial. Never
know what a jury's gonna do.

He's embarrassed about what
charlene Darcy knows about him.

I guarantee you he
would give up his allocution

rather than face her.

You can't risk nine convictions
to find out if you're right.

We'll get his confession without
letting him make a speech.

Gimme one more chance with
Donna before we finalize the plea.

What's it that you
think she knows?

A lot. She may not
realize how much.

She lived with him the years
he committed these crimes.

If we get her talking, who
knows what she leads us to.

We may finally
find Kale's trophies.

I want Kale's signed plea
agreement on my desk

by 5 o'clock tomorrow.

Now, if you can
find a way to get that

without granting him
his little speech, great.

If not, you give
him what he wants.

You're relentless,
you know that?

Your father confessed.

You can't pretend anymore
that it didn't happen.

He's gonna tell a judge exactly
what he did to those women.

What do you want from me?

Donna..

Your father wants the attention.

He wants to enjoy killing
those women all over again

at the expense
of their families.

You of all people should
know how painful that would be.

- He's a freak.
- But you're not.

And feeling responsible for
what he did is ruining your life.

I don't get it.

Why are you here?

Why do you care about me?

Because of what he did to you.

He's destroyed your life too.

I always thought
my dad was lonely.

When I was about..

Twelve, my best
friend and I found

a lady's scarf and driver's
license in my dad's closet.

The one you showed me.

With the blonde hair
and the pretty smile.

I had seen my dad talking
to her a couple times

in the grocery store.

And um..

I told my friend..

That they were secretly in love.

And that soon..

I would have a new mom.

Couple weeks later

an article in the
newspaper said that..

The woman was dead.

And that..

That her, her killer
had sent a copy

of her driver's
license to the police.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what..

What to tell you. I don't
know how to help you.

We can't find the things
he took from his victims.

Maybe he got rid of 'em.

(Annabeth) 'Well, we
think he's still got them.'

serial killers tend to
hang on to their trophies.

- Did you search the house?
- Top to bottom.

Is there someplace else he
may have hidden them, Donna?

Maybe, um... A friend's
house or a relative's?

He hates his relatives.

No friends.

Spent all his time at home
working on his weird hobbies.

The, um..

- Needlepoint? Birdhouses?
- Yeah.

He's obsessed with those things.

His knick-knacks.

Donna said her father was
obsessed with his hobbies.

Remember the notations
in the work records?

The photocopies
in the scrapbooks?

I think Kale's trophies
are somewhere right here.

In plain sight.

Plain sight, huh?

Where would that be?

[Dramatic music]

Guys, look at
this. Look at this.

Kale's hobby.

He turned his victims'
clothing into a memory quilt.

[Intense music]

It's a pocket.

I said I would speak for
an unlimited amount of time

at the allocution.
It's not in here.

That's because it's
not gonna happen.

Then I rescind my offer.

We're being generous, Mr. Kale,
considering the alternative.

The alternative
is I don't confess.

The alternative is we
humiliate you for months

in court and in the press.

Leak compromising photos
to the tabloids and then a jury..

Gives you the death penalty.

I'm afraid you've lost me.

We found your quilt.

Your trophy photos..

Your dirty little pictures..

You don't even measure
up to the twisted killer

you pretended to be.

The professor.

You're just a pervert.

Pathetic, little pervert.

I should be allowed
to address the court.

No allocution, no
press, no gallery.

Just an empty courtroom.

What do you mean?

The families won't be there?

We're protecting the
families from you, Mr. Kale.

They'll have their own press
conference after you're gone.

(Jeffrey) 'It's a
public proceeding.'

- you can't close it.
- Sue us.

By the time you obtain
a temporary injunction..

He'll be on the bus
to the penitentiary.

(Judge Jenkins) 'You're
charged with murder'

'a class a felony, in count 7?'

- yes, your honor.
- 'How'd you plead to count 7?'

guilty, your honor.

In count eight, on or about
the 23rd day of April, 1997

in the county of
Marion, state of Indiana

'it is claimed you did
unlawfully kill a human being'

'Anne blackwood'

'knowingly, maliciously,
willfully, deliberately.'

'you understand you're
charged with murder'

'a class a felony,
in count eight?'

- yes, your honor.
- 'How'd you plead to count 8?

Guilty, your honor.

In count 9, on the 31st
day of October, 2006

in the county of
Marion, state of Indiana

it is claimed you did
unlawfully kill a human being

Elizabeth garner

'knowingly, maliciously,
willfully, deliberately.'

do you understand
you're charged with murder

a class a felony, in count 9?

- 'Yes, your honor.'
- 'How'd you plead to count 9?'

guilty, your honor.

Nice job, counselor.

You too.

[Sighs] I guess just
go ahead and feed her.

I'll be home by seven
to put her to bed.

I've one more meeting.

Okay, thanks.

- Hi, Donna.
- Miss chase.

This is my friend, Tim.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, Tim.

I needed some moral support.

I understand.

Come on.

I wanted to, um

thank you for, you know..

Reaching out to me.

Of course.

The press conference for
the families went really well.

I think everybody's relieved.

I hope they know how sorry I am.

Donna, nobody blames you, okay?

You need to know that.

And you need to believe it too.

Here we are.

Hi, Donna.

Mr. Garner.

Thanks for coming.

I'm, uh..

Glad to see you.

You are?
