[PHOTOCOPIER WHIRRING, BEEPS]

[COPIER WHINES, CLICKS]

[BEEPING RAPIDLY]

[RATTLES]

[BANGS VIOLENTLY]

Let me help you.

- Oh, I can get it. J-Just show me.
- [PHOTOCOPIER BEEPS]

This one's been acting up all day.

Then you shouldn't let people use it.

[MAN] You gotta really get in there.

[LATCH OPENS]

Poetry, huh?

[ADT SERVICEMAN] You really need
to put an "Out of Order" sign on it.

This is only half.

All right. Well, take the original.

I need the other half.

The Xerox guy's gonna have to clear it.

Then call one.

That's my property. I'm
not leaving without it.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

- Synced & corrected by MementMori -

[GREGG] The bodies were
dismembered, stuffed in trash bags,

and spent between two and six
weeks in the Hudson River.

None of the six victims
was ever identified.

Cause of death never determined.

Police were able to trace,

uh, the articles of clothing

to a fetish shop on Christopher Street

that catered to the leather community.

And there's the Lambda tattoo.

Maybe he was a Greek scholar.

Paul Bateson frequented the gay
bars in the Meatpacking District,

but police could never
connect him to the bodies.

He was only convicted for one murder

because he called a journalist
and confessed to it.

The final victim, Addison Verrill.

Who was not dismembered
and stuffed in a bag,

so why should we talk to this guy
if we don't even know he did these?

Because he told a friend
he was the Bag Murderer.

And that he liked to kill.

Isn't someone who practices S&M

already equating arousal with violence?

- He's just a step...
- S/M.

The correct terminology
is S/M. Sadomasochism.

Not "sado and masochism."

S/M is primarily the exchange of power

between a dominant and a submissive.

Pain and violence are just two types

of currency within that exchange.

There's also humiliation, fear,
sometimes even tickling.

Tickled to death? Whole new meaning.

The fact that one of the
victims wore a dog collar

makes me think our guy
likes to be in charge.

Well, due to the
condition of the bodies,

we have no evidence of how he killed

or whether S/M was even one of his MOs.

Who else would prey on guys like these?

They were into the same stuff, and
he gets off on going too far.

Well, this isn't just a case
of someone who occasionally

crossed the line of consent. This
is a practiced, organized killer.

Dismembering and disposing of
the bodies without witnesses?

I mean, that takes
planning and commitment.

[GREGG] Well, there's no
denying his victim pool

is specific to what gives
him sexual pleasure.

- But they're low-hanging fruit for him.
- [CHUCKLES] I'll say.

He's accepted in their environment,
and he knows how to lure them.

[HOLDEN] They actually
want to be tied up.

So you're saying his victim
selection is about opportunity.

[CARR] I'm just saying that
it would be interesting

to find out how essential

his sexual practices
were to how he killed.

[CARR] And why.

You know, was sadomasochism...

just a convenient way for
Bateson to find his victims,

- or was it fundamental to his...
- [HOLDEN] That's Atlanta.

It's the police commissioner.

As Jackson said, we
would like to applaud

the decision made by the
Department of Justice

to open an FBI investigation

into Atlanta's missing

and murdered children.

Director Webster has assured me

that the bureau will coordinate
with our own task force

and make their abundant resources
available to our city.

[GUNN] We've already
been to Atlanta once.

We've done the background work.

[MAN ON SPEAKER] The
vice president's placing

the highest priority on this.

I don't want us to look

like we're running a
research project down there.

Absolutely not.

We're there to get convictions.

All right, Ted. I'll call Wyman,
tell him we're sending the BSU

instead of that third
canine unit he wants.

They better be house-trained.

[GUNN] And on a short leash.
You have my word.

That was...

Director Webster.

The president doesn't want child murder

lingering over his first 100 days,

so he's throwing George Bush at this.

The director wants to be sure

the bureau comes out smelling
good to this administration.

And it came down to us or Lassie.

[GUNN] Essentially.

Holden, I'd like you there
as soon as possible. Bill,

you can fly out Monday,

right after the directors'
retreat. [SIGHS]

Webster's going out on a limb.

He needs to understand who we are,
have assurance in what we can do.

Yes, sir.

We're budgeted through the
end, so pack accordingly.

They're following 17 cases.

[TENCH] That could be a while.

If Webster's involved,
he's going for closure.

We want to be part of that.

Go do what you do, but as we've learned,

our methods are not
always gonna be received

with unbridled enthusiasm, so...

Play nice.

Play smart.

Bill.

We will be okay.

Yes, sir.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

How are we supposed to fulfill
Gunn's expansive vision

if he keeps sending you away?

This time it comes from the very top.

Well, I can select support staff,

but I can't recruit and train agents.

I need to be back in town every
Friday for some things with Brian.

I'll spend the afternoon
here, do what I can.

You and Gregg take Bateson.

Keep the interviews going.

You're going to leave Holden
alone three days a week?

He's down there on his own
till Monday as it is.

Gunn wants me at the directors' retreat.

I mean, last time he managed
to get you tossed out,

and you were with him.

I'll call Jim Barney.

Ask him to be Holden's
wingman till I get there.

It's three days.

Exactly.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- [TENCH] Nance?

Back here! [UNDER BREATH] Jeez.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Want some dinner?

There's spaghetti and one chicken leg.

- [KISSES]
- No, I'm bushed.

How's Bri?

He's fine.

How was your day?

Super.

How super?

It was fine. Um, hand me that bag.

Thanks.

Is it that bad?

Three times this week.

If he wets again tonight,
I'm throwing them out.

I got cheapies.

Jesus. Brian hasn't wet the bed for...

[NANCY] Three years and five months.

Believe me, I remember.

Today I found him playing
with his baby toys.

Three Men in a Tub.

It's like he's going backwards.

Just when he was getting
some independence.

Suddenly, I'm potty training again.

Let's talk to Dr. Moritz tomorrow.

Maybe it's part of the process.

[NANCY] Oh, I haven't packed you yet.

But your suit's back from the cleaners.

It's okay. I'll pack.
Don't worry about it.

Oh, have you spoken to Gunn today?

- Bill, you need to take time off.
- [SIGHS]

Brian needs you. I need help with him.

Honey, I just found out today:

after the retreat, I
have to go to Atlanta.

We've opened an investigation
into the murders there.

I don't have a choice.

Okay.

Look, I'm coming home
every Thursday night

for the Friday appointments.

I'll stay all weekend.

- Every week.
- I said okay.

You say there's nothing
you can do, so...

the decision's been made.

[SIGHS]

[MAN] My biggest complaint is
I can't get to the Joffrey.

But prison dried me out.

I was draining two bottles of
vodka a day till I lost my job.

You were a radiology technician.

Until I was an usher in a porn theater.

Now I'm sober, work out every day.

And mostly they leave me unsupervised.

Actually, I'd appreciate a
little more discipline.

[PRISONERS YELLING IN DISTANCE]

How did you meet Addison Verrill?

Sitting at the bar at The Anvil.

We were doing poppers.

Started talking porn.

He knew them all.
Appreciated the good ones.

Good ones?

[BATESON] Anybody can roll a
camera on a piece of muscle

plowing some bottom raw.

I can catch that live at The Tunnel.

But there's an art to
letting things happen

in the right rhythm.

Finding that bond in violence.

You watch any porn?

Bonding in violence.

Is that how you prefer
to relate to people?

On a deeper level, probably.

- Love is violence. Sex is violence.
- [CARR] Is it?

Every interaction is violence,
it's just a matter of scale.

How much of something
do we want to feel?

Does it feel good when
your lover takes your hand

and you didn't expect it?

Does it feel better when
he grabs your nipples?

Twists them?

What did Addison think about violence?

Full into it.

The films he liked, the
things he said. I could tell.

Is that why you picked him?

- No, we pick each other, don't we?
- [CARR] But he was your type.

No, not really.

Usually, I don't like swishes.

They give us all a bad name.

Addison was holding court at the bar.

He could've left with anyone,
but he stuck with me.

That was nice.

When you went back to his apartment,

had you already decided to kill him?

No.

We smoked some weed.
Drank some of his Scotch.

Had lots of sex.

He liked it rough. That's
how they knew it was me.

When I called that reporter,

I told him the couch and rug
were covered in Crisco.

Police hadn't figured out
what it was. [CHUCKLES]

What happened after?

I hadn't come down yet.

He asked me if I wanted a joint.

I hit him with a skillet,
and then I stabbed him.

Was that the natural conclusion
of an arousal experience for you?

The "rough" sex that you had,

did it build in intensity?

- Was...
- [BATESON] Sure.

You always wanna have somewhere to go.

Pain is the release.

The fear... that's what
you want to play with.

So, was killing Addison an
extension of the sexual violence?

No, we were done.

Wore ourselves out.

You can only go for so long.

[CARR] Then why did you kill him?

[DOOR SLAMS IN DISTANCE]

[SIGHS]

It... It wasn't a...

soul act for him.

I was looking for real connection.

[CARR] Was The Anvil

a place that you had found
a real connection before?

[BATESON] No.

But there's always that moment...

where something might
turn into the real thing.

It just didn't.

That's what we're all looking for.

Connection.

When you went out, were you
a dominant or a submissive?

[BATESON] Those days, I was a total top.

[CARR] Those days?

I started off as a bottom. Most do.

That's... how you learn what to do.

What a bottom wants to feel.

How far you can go.

So you were practiced
at finding that moment

when things could turn...

into nothing or into connection,

or perhaps into deeper violence.

The Bag Murders,

six leathermen dumped in the
Hudson in garbage bags.

Do you think that the
person who killed those men

could've been experimenting?

Seeing how it felt to go too far?

They keep trying to get me for those.

Gay guy into leather.

- So imaginative.
- [CARR] It's more than that.

You also worked in a hospital. You
had some training in anatomy,

access to medical instruments.

I wasn't squeamish if
that's what you're asking.

- But I wasn't a surgeon.
- [GLENN] You did confess to a friend.

You... actually told him, verbatim,

"I like to kill."

Ugh. God...

We were all so fucked up at the time.

The cops actually said if I confess,

I would do less time on a plea deal.

- Less time?
- [BATESON] Crazy, right?

They just want to say
they closed the books.

Keep the queens happy.

But I got news:

the queens want this to be
some uptight straight guy.

Why would they care who it is?

Perceptions matter when you're
an "aberration," Anita.

We can't be seen as eating our own.

Do you think it was an
angry straight guy?

Leathermen can smell a
straight guy a mile away.

No one would go anywhere with him.

Clubbers are looking for guys
who know what they're doing.

So the killer would be experienced.

[BATESON] He'd be
cruising for the guy...

that wants exactly
what he wants to give.

He's watched a thousand guys,
gone home with hundreds.

Feeling for the right pulse, the
right quickening of breath.

He's looking for the guy
that just wants it.

Nobody wants to die.

No, but some want to feel
what it's like to almost die.

They let you go just a bit further.

Might even beg you.

And that would excite him?

Of course.

So he would know the victims,

may have been with them
intimately before.

[BATESON] Why waste time on an unknown?

And then what would he do?

And then...

he works 'em.

Hard.

Until there's a connection.

What sort of connection?

Well, that's the mystery.

It's trust with fear.

Complete vulnerability.

He lets the master take him
just across that line.

How?

How would he kill him?

How long would he take?
What would he use?

What marks would he leave?

Everyone in the scene's
into their own thing.

You'd have to ask him. Alan.

- [ALAN] Yeah.
- I'm ready.

[ALAN] All right. Let's move him out.

[DOOR OPENS]

- Only your killer would know that.
- [HANDCUFFS CLICK]

- [PHONES RINGING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[RECEPTIONIST] Good morning.

[BARNEY] Holden.

[HOLDEN] Jim!

This has grown.

Looks like they've narrowed
it down to half the city.

They're all over the map on this.
Smells like desperation.

We got a real lead last night.
You should hear it.

[MAN ON RECORDING] A whole
generation of Negro wiped out

with each one of these dead kids.

You'll find the last one in
the woods by Sigman Road.

And you can count on another
one every month from now on.

[OPERATOR] Sir, can you give me

- the exact location of...
- [DIAL TONE BUZZES]

[OPERATOR] Sir? Sir?

I can't say.

They all sound the same to me.

Just meanness.

Sorry to make you listen to that.

Thank you, Beverly.

Y'all still looking for my Earl?

He'd be 11 now. Might be taller.

[OFFICER] Yes ma'am.

You can be sure we're lookin'.

Call came in last night.

Staked out a three-mile stretch
of Sigman Road overnight...

nothin'.

First light, put in search teams
on the ground and in the air.

We have agents questioning known
Klan members in the area.

We'll find the body,
but, uh, Jim here says

you might be able to
help us find the caller.

- You won't find a body.
- [REDDING] Oh, I'll find it.

Got 250 searchers working
grids, canine units.

There is no body. He's not your man.

- Excuse me?
- It might be the same caller

as the Terrell case, but he's
not your killer. It's a hoax.

You can tell me that by
listening to a tape once?

Same tape we've been
listening to since midnight?

Think about it.

The entire purpose of organizations
like the Klan is to sow terror.

Why would they wait until number
18 to claim responsibility?

Young man, I've been dealing
with the Klan my whole life.

Sometimes their only purpose is
to kill whatever black person

they can get their hands on.

I have no good reason to doubt this

just because it's not
what you want to hear.

[HOLDEN] But then why call
the police, not the press?

We've learned from Berkowitz, the
Zodiac... they want a story.

Lasting mythology.

To find that, they go
straight to the press.

It makes the police look like
they're the last to know.

That sounds like a grand
theory, Agent Ford.

Like you put a lot of thought into it

in the two minutes we've
been standing here.

But I'm operating on the actual
fact that five days ago...

Lubie Geter, number 18,

was dropped off at a mall parking
lot to sell car deodorizers.

He never came home.

His mama calls me twice a day.

Besides him, I got four
other boys still missing...

numbers six, eight,
twelve, and fourteen,

in case you don't wanna remember names.

And this call is the only lead we got.

Are you coming?

[FOOT TAPPING RHYTHMICALLY]

Brian...

can you tell me why you
took the boys to the house?

Was it because the baby was crying?

Did you think you could make
him feel better in the house?

It's okay, Bri.

- You can talk to the doc...
- [HUSHES]

Do you remember the
boys holding the baby?

Did you think they were
trying to help him?

To make him stop crying?

[SIGHS]

[MORITZ] It's best for them to
know no one will answer for them.

I understand.

Is it necessary to make
him remember everything?

[MORITZ] Well, it may be
uncomfortable for us,

but it allows him to
relate to his feelings

in an accepting environment.

His teacher says Brian isn't
participating in class

and has no interaction with his peers.

[NANCY] You spoke with Brian's teacher?

Miss Leland did a class visit.

- What she observed...
- [NANCY] Excuse me.

She was in his class?

Caseworkers have no obligation
to inform you of school visits.

Have you noticed changes
in his behavior?

Brian has started wetting
his bed again...

on occasion.

Almost every other night.

Even one event tells us a lot
about a patient's progress.

[NANCY] Like what?

What does it tell us?

- Well, secondary enuresis is most...
- Secondary what?

[MORITZ] Uh, enuresis. Uh...

Bed-wetting subsequent to
successful toilet training.

The most common cause is
psychological trauma.

He's sleeping with his baby toys,

things he hasn't touched in years.

Emotional regression
can also be a marker

for processing extreme distress.

- Is there anything else?
- [TENCH] He's been sucking his thumb.

I'm prescribing a low dose of
desmopressin for the bed-wetting.

You want him to take a pill?

It's important he doesn't
develop behaviors

that place him in a
regressed emotional state.

And you need to set limits.

If he wets the bed,

make him responsible for
washing the sheets.

Isn't he gonna think
we're punishing him?

Well, you're helping him to
deal with what he experienced

instead of displacing it.

[NANCY] Brian never mentions it.

The other day we drove by the
house where it happened.

He watched it go by, and he
blurted out, "I want pancakes."

Is trauma really what's
causing him to wet the bed?

Isn't it possible that making him

come to a doctor's office once a week,

having some woman show up at
his school and stare at him,

- giving him pills...
- Nance.

... isn't it possible that those
things are making him regress?

He's reminded every day
that he's not normal.

If he was at home, doing the
things he used to do...

Kids get over stuff. They forget.

Mrs. Tench,

children do not simply forget trauma.

No one simply forgets.

[PORTER] Let me get that for you, sir.

- Hey, thanks.
- [PORTER] A pleasure, sir.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

- I'm with the bureau retreat.
- Yes, sir.

Bill. You're just getting here?

Cutting it close.

I wanted to clear off my desk
before leaving town, sir.

The judge's plane took off late,
so you get a little reprieve.

The judge?

[GUNN] Director Webster was a
judge before his appointment.

He prefers his judicial title,

which, in rules of protocol,
takes precedence.

He is a man who appreciates
pecking order.

Good to know.

The judge's advance.
Gentlemen, how long?

[AGENT] Pulling in now, sir.

- [RECEPTIONIST] There you are.
- Thank you.

It's good to be king.

Yes, it is.

The schedule has you in for an
hour, but keep it to 40 minutes.

And... maybe lose the jacket and tie.

These retreat symposia
are 90 percent retreat,

ten percent symposia.

I'll buy you a little time.

- Judge.
- Ted, great to see you.

- You already got a round in.
- [GUNN] And Wyman owes us all a drink.

- We'll cut you in.
- Mm, okay, then. Gentlemen.

[NANCY] Brian.

Brian, your sandwich is ready.

Brian?

Brian?

Brian!

Brian!

Adele!

Have you seen Brian?

[SQUEAKING]

[NANCY] Brian?

Brian!

Did you hear me calling you?

Go on, honey.

Go on.

You can go play with her.

Come on, Paige.

It's time to go.

Come on, honey.

- Grandma's waiting for us.
- [PAIGE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

Brian, we don't stare. Remember?

It's impolite.

Look at me.

I need you to come home...

so we can...

[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

- [DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE]
- [INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Delta Sector, report.
- Chief Redding, I feel like we...

[MAN 1 ON RADIO] Delta
Sector report negative.

[MAN 2 ON RADIO]
... sector report negative.

Sir, chopper needs to refuel. He
suggests suspending for the night.

All sectors, all sectors, suspend.

- Y'all start coming on in.
- [MAN 1 ON RADIO] Copy that.

- No body.
- Come on, bring it in, guys!

- That what you wanted to hear?
- [OFFICER 1] Let's go!

- No, sir. It's not.
- [OFFICER 1 WHISTLES]

It's bad if you don't find one.

Worse if you do.

I wanted to say, I feel
like we started off wrong.

You could say that.

I only meant we don't wanna waste our...

your resources on every tip.

Over the past year, I've
pulled children's bodies

out of creek beds,
woods, vacant buildings.

[MAN 1 ON RADIO] Chief, we'll
be opening the road here

- as things clear out.
- Roger.

We have thousands of acres
of untended property.

When we get any lead that
narrows it to one road,

I have no choice but to take it.

We've learned things about how
these types of killers think.

We can anticipate them,

focus on their next move
instead of just reacting.

We have a meeting Monday morning
with all the jurisdictions.

You have a way to narrow
things down, happy to hear it.

Now I have to go brief the mayor.

- [PEOPLE CLAMORING]
- Shit.

[OFFICER 2] Stay back!

[REPORTER 1] Chief Redding!
Chief Redding! Chief Redding,

has there been another body found?

Did the FBI initiate this search?

[REPORTER 2] We heard
about a phone call.

Did you find a body?

[REDDING] I have no
statement at this time.

[REPORTER 2] Was there a body found?

[REPORTER 1] Did the FBI
call for this search?

Will the FBI work with APD,

or are you running your
own investigation?

- [REPORTERS CLAMORING]
- [REPORTER 1] Any leads? Any suspects?

Any more leads?

- [HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING OVERHEAD]
- [ENGINE TURNS OVER]

[WEBSTER] It's a local case, Ted.
It's gotten national attention.

The bureau responding to this
is like a tail wagging the dog.

- [GROUP CHUCKLES]
- [WEBSTER] Agent Tench,

you're going down there. What can
your unit bring to this case?

[TENCH] Well, sir, we'll be
looking for connections.

We think some of these
cases may be linked.

Sir, the work these guys are
doing is groundbreaking.

They've interviewed Manson.

Manson's crazier than a shithouse rat.

[GROUP CHUCKLES]

Can we really learn from
someone like him, Agent?

We've also interviewed
more cogent subjects.

Such as?

[TENCH] Ed Kemper.

The Co-ed Killer.

- Beheaded ten college girls.
- [TENCH] Well, six actually.

But he did kill ten people.

What was he like?

To talk to?

Well, he's 6'9".

[WEBSTER] Oh!

[TENCH] So he could be
a little intimidating

to sit across from with no guard,

no sidearm, no cuffs.

But you have to develop
a level of trust.

One day, we brought a pizza
in and had lunch with him.

We're dividing slices
while he's telling us

- how hard it is to sever a head.
- [GROUP CHUCKLES]

And this guy has hands
like catcher's mitts,

and he's sitting three feet away.

How did he do it?

How did he kill 'em?

[TENCH] He picked up hitchhikers,

drove them to a wooded area,

and then stabbed and strangled them.

Then he raped 'em and
cut off their heads.

And then he raped the heads.

[GROUP MURMURS]

[WEBSTER] Why decapitation?

[TENCH] He collected them...

as trophies.

Kemper was the first to make us see

these killers develop a
sickening personal signature.

And we're learning these offenders
start having fantasies very young.

They practice: dolls, animals.
That escalates.

[WEBSTER] I dealt with my share
of criminals from the bench.

Most of them were bad from
the start, even as kids:

runaways, loners.

They never fit in.

I always said when I had a
juvenile I knew was bad,

I wish I could put him away for life.

You could just see it

in their eyes.

Gentlemen,

they keep a well-stocked
humidor behind the bar

that I turned a blind eye to.

Shall we?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE CONTINUES RINGING]

- Hello?
- [TENCH OVER PHONE] Hey, it's me.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER PHONE]
- It's late. What time is it?

[TENCH] It's almost 10:00.

I just called to check in
on you. How's Brian?

Fine.

Now.

What do you mean, "now"?

He got out. I... I couldn't find him.

Got out?

[SIGHS] I went door to door.

Finally found him in the park.

He was staring at this child. Just...

staring.

[MEN LAUGH]

But he scared me.

What do you want me to do, Nance?

Nothing.

Everything's done.

I just... wanted to tell you.

Honey, I don't know what to say.

How about, "I'm gonna
take time off to help"?

[MEN CHUCKLING]

You know I can't do that right now.

I know.

You have to work.

I just...

honestly don't know if I
can do this alone, Bill.

You're not alone.

I have to go to sleep.

- [RECEIVER CLATTERS]
- [DIAL TONE BUZZES]

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING ON JUKEBOX]

[GUNN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
Hey, sit down.

- Whiskey, please.
- [BARTENDER] Sure thing.

I still want to hear about Manson.

- Make it a double.
- [GROUP LAUGHS]

[GLASSES CLINK]

"Do you find yourself getting
so lost in your own thoughts

that you ignore and
forget your surroundings?

All the time.

Some of the time.

Occasionally.

Never."

- Wen.
- Huh?

Should I answer for you? I think
I have a good shot at this one.

- Where'd you get that?
- [KAY] Found it on a bus.

- Ew.
- [KAY] Come on, it'll be fun.

I'm gonna mark that one as...

"some of the time."

Uh... "Is it difficult
to get you excited?"

Oh, you should probably answer that one.

Come on, you have to
take this seriously,

or the results won't be accurate.

I find it kind of difficult to take
a Myers-Briggs test seriously,

especially one that has a panty
liner ad on the back of it.

I should just focus on this.

[KAY] Come on. There's
only a couple left.

"Do you find yourself
initiating conversations?"

- Yes.
- Really?

Yeah. I initiated conversation with you.

Because you wanted to fuck me.

I initiate conversations all day.

Oh, an interview's not a conversation.

[CARR] You know, whose
test is this? Yours or mine?

[SIGHS] I'm just trying
to get to know you.

It feels a little like you're
trying to get to correct me.

Well, would you rather tell
me about whatever it is

that you're burying your face in?

I'm sorry, ask me another one.

No.

Come on.

Tell me about what you're reading.

It's the, uh... It's
the Bateson interview.

- Okay.
- [CARR] Mm.

It's just a fine line of
giving them enough attention

so that they'll engage with you,

but also being able to
steer the conversation.

And when it's over in
just a few minutes, it...

Wasn't worth the effort?

He was surprisingly
forthcoming in the beginning.

He answered every question,
even volunteered information.

But when I got to the questions
I really wanted to ask,

he just walked out.

So he rope-a-doped you?

- I don't know what that means.
- [KAY] Rumble in the Jungle?

You know, when Ali let George
Foreman punch himself out.

Yeah. Sure, he, uh, "rope-a-doped" me.

Oh, I'm sure he had plenty of practice

leading people down the garden path.

[CARR] No, I should have seen it coming.

I mean, I've been studying manipulators

- my whole career.
- Oh.

On paper.

[SIGHS]

No, I'm... I'm just saying that you...
you don't have to be an expert

at everything the first time.

Huh.

It's just a bit disappointing.

[REPORTER ON TV] Another sad chapter
in the epidemic of child murders

unfolded today in Rockdale County

where the FBI conducted an
unsuccessful search along Sigman Road.

Channel 2 has been unable
to confirm reports

that a man called in a tip about
where a body could be found.

The FBI and police had no comment.

Meanwhile, the search for
14-year-old Lubie Geter continues.

That's it for us tonight.

It's 10:30.

Do you know where your children are?

[NEWS FANFARE PLAYING]

I always want you present
in the local room

where my reporters and Mr. Wallace Cook

can drink you in constantly

as a warning against fakes!

- [PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- [TANYA] Agent Ford.

[ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS]

[HOLDEN] Tanya.

- [ELEVATOR DOOR CLOSES]
- [HOLDEN] Hi.

[TANYA] I thought that was you.
I saw you'd checked in,

for a while it looks like.

Until it's over.

I was expecting you sooner.

I came the moment they opened
an official FBI investigation.

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

And...

you should know we've moved
beyond looking into the families.

I came down specifically to
refocus the APD's efforts.

I saw on the news someone
called about a body.

He a suspect?

I can't say officially, but...

A man calls to tell you he did it,
you may want to consider him.

I'm not at liberty to
discuss details, but...

my unit is here to focus on

what we consider most probable.

[TANYA] Most probable for each child?

They all got different things going on.

Some of them hustling
jobs here and there.

Carrying groceries, running errands.

A few of them might've gotten
themselves into situations

- they didn't know were dangerous.
- What does that mean?

You looking at where these kids work?
Parking lots, drive-throughs?

I'm sure we will.

Our most recent was seen selling
car deodorizers outside a mall.

Lubie Geter.

Right.

Not all of 'em have car
deodorizers to sell.

They do whatever they can.

What do you mean? Drugs?

There's drugs, panhandling.

Some kids learn to steal
little things and sell them.

Folks have been saying
that a few of these boys

could be selling themselves.

These kids are 11, 12.

Every kid is told to
watch out for strangers.

Most have no idea how dangerous
some strangers can be.

- All I'm sayin' is...
- [PHONE RINGING]

... you all should be looking
at those people too.

[RECEIVER RATTLES]

This is the Omni. Tanya speaking.
How may I help you?

Absolutely. One moment.

[LOCK RATTLING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS SOFTLY]

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[COINS CLATTER]

[DOOR OPENS]

- Morning.
- [BARNEY] Good morning.

What do you know about child
prostitution in Atlanta?

[BARNEY] I know it goes on.

The same as any big city.

It's not something I've dealt with,

but I can ask Atlanta PD.

Why?

I need files on known pedophiles
in the greater Atlanta area.

- [DOOR SQUEAKS]
- Sure. We can look into that.

It looks like greater
Atlanta just walked in.

Gonna be interesting to
see how they take to us.

There's no reason for them
not to want our help.

Bill!

Hey!

Good to see ya.

Welcome, Bill.

This is us.

Sorry to miss first day of school.

What are we starting with?

We're about to walk into a
meeting with the county chiefs.

Chief Redding wants our advice on
how to focus the investigation.

Sounds good.

[HOLDEN] For instance, David
Berkowitz, Son of Sam,

told us he was compelled

to go back to a specific site
where he had killed before.

To physically relive the experience.

You interviewed Son of Sam?

[TENCH] We did.

So the theory is, instead of
trying to cover all of Atlanta,

we concentrate on where we
believe the killer may return.

We'll deploy teams to canvass
previous abduction and dump sites,

narrowing our scope to these
higher probability areas.

Go back over all the ground
we've already covered?

[TENCH] Neighbors may have seen
someone returning to a scene.

Maybe something was moved or left.

Y'all are assuming it's one suspect.

We got 18 cases spread
all over kingdom come.

So many murders in the same
age and socioeconomic range

is highly improbable without
at least some being linked.

That how we're gonna proceed, Chief?

Seems like we're ignoring
a lot of possibilities.

Nobody's saying rule anybody out.

But let's focus our manpower.

Chief, this kind of focus means

recanvassing 18 abduction
and dump sites,

plus reinterviewing dozens of witnesses.

Gonna really stretch your manpower.

We can use academy recruits
to fill out the teams.

Only way we'll be able
to even half-ass it.

Based on this,

I'm redeploying today's search
to a previous dump site...

Redwine Road,

where we found Milton Harvey's remains.

Assemble your teams. See if
this amounts to anything.

- [TENCH] Thank you, Chief.
- [HOLDEN] Thank you.

- Thank you.
- [REDDING] Thank you, gentlemen.

Remember Earl Terrell? I'd
like to work his case.

He's still missing, but I think we
could do more than we did for him.

[TENCH] Of course. Mind
if I round out your team?

Think I'll join the
Chief at the dump site.

[TENCH] Okay.

[BARNEY] So he was last seen

- at the pool across the park.
- [THUNDER RUMBLES]

It was a long time ago,
but do you remember him?

I seen him.

Him and a couple others.

[BARNEY] You recall
seeing him last summer?

Yeah. Lots of times.

Are you out here on your
porch two days a week?

- Three?
- Well, if it's hot,

I'm out here every day.

So in the summer, I see everybody.

Sometimes... them kids head down...

that house there.

- [TENCH] The brick house?
- [WOMAN] Mm-hmm.

And sometimes they go to Elsie's. There.

- [TENCH] That yellow house?
- [WOMAN] Mm-hmm.

Ma'am, are those glasses prescription?

These are my readers.

For my stories.

Anything else you told the
officers before could be helpful.

Weren't no officers come here.

Ain't nobody ask us nothin'.

Thank you, ma'am. You've
been very helpful.

- [WOMAN] Mm-hmm.
- [BARNEY] Thank you.

There's no car at the brick house.

Elsie's first.

That's the third person we've talked to

within one block of where
this kid disappeared,

and not one of them was interviewed.

Starting to think there's a lot
that's dropped through the cracks.

[BANGS ON HOOD]

We called and told them Earl
came by the day he went missing,

but nobody came askin'.

He was looking for Albert, but Albert
wasn't home, so Earl, he left.

- Albert, get in here.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV]

Tell 'em about Earl.

Him and Lubie come over
to play sometimes.

I wasn't here.

Lubie Geter?

- He and Earl knew each other?
- [ALBERT] Yeah.

Earl act sometimes like
Lubie's big brother,

take him around and stuff.

Where would Earl take him?

[ALBERT] You know, just around.

Do you know where else Earl
might have gone that day?

It's all right, baby.

They with the FBI. You can tell them.

See?

You wanna hold it?

Anybody else Earl might
have gone to play with?

They used to hang with Pat-Man.

Does Pat-Man have a last name?

[ELSIE] Won't do no good.

He was... uh, one of them.

One of them?

He was right before Lubie. His
real name was Patrick Rogers.

I didn't like him comin' around here.

He too old for these boys.

Anything else you can tell the men?

[OFFICER] Excuse me,
the ME's heading out

to Redwine Road. They found something.

Thank you so much, ma'am.

[BARNEY] Let's get the
address for the brick house.

- [HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
- [SIRENS BLARING]

[HOLDEN] Guys, these remains
are less than 100 yards

from where Milton Harvey
was dumped 13 months ago.

He's returning to the scene.
What's the press doing here?

Get down there and set up a perimeter!
This is now a crime scene.

[DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE]

Forensics show up yet?

We don't have a body retrieval unit.

Recruits will collect any evidence.

It's not Lubie Geter.

Been out here too long.

But it could be one of the
other three still missing.

Earl Terrell was wearing
shorts when he disappeared.

What do you got?

I found these close to the road.

A tennis shoe, one cigarette butt,
and a couple of porno mags.

- Porno?
- [OFFICER 1] Yes, sir.

Gallery and Penthouse.

There's tire tracks, a heavy
vehicle, near where we found 'em.

- [OFFICER 2] Body! Body!
- [OFFICER 3] Body!

- [OFFICER 4] Come on! Body!
- [WHISTLE BLOWS]

Get this stuff into evidence
bags and get some gloves.

Yes, sir.

We need to get a real
forensics unit down here.

Three bodies at one site.

It's one guy. And this is his graveyard.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[FLIES BUZZING]

[REDDING] Well, lucky he had a prior.

Never would have traced the
prints off those magazines.

A plumber.

Runs his own business
out of his rented home.

Short rap sheet.

- One incident of petty theft.
- [HOLDEN] What kind?

Clothing? Personal items?

[REDDING] Tires.

Seemed like he needed a
set of 4 when he was 19.

No, uh, prior assault.

No history of racial violence.

Sound like our man?

Wait a minute, this guy's Caucasian.

Doesn't change anything if we can
tie him directly to a scene.

We should at least follow up on that.

[HOLDEN] Those magazines are
adult women, not black children.

Even if the labs are positive
for semen, it supports nothing.

Holden, we have three bodies
within 100 yards of each other.

[HOLDEN] There's no doubt the
unsub's dumping them there.

I'm just saying, before we drag in...

Pickett Yarborough, he's
not who we're looking for.

[TENCH] Did we run his car?

White 1975 pickup truck.

No police-type vehicle.

No, but utilitarian.

You could keep a hunting kit
without drawing suspicion.

We could surveil him.

[TENCH] If he smells us at
all, he'll destroy evidence.

We need to get warrants.

Search his house, his truck.

I think we should bring him in.

Even if it's just to rule him out.

Jim, you're familiar with
DA Slaton, are you not?

Slaton's third generation law.

He ain't by the book,

he is the book.

- [THUNDER RUMBLES]
- [BRAKES SCREECH]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Excuse me, gentlemen, we're
closed for an event.

We need to speak with
District Attorney Slaton.

If you could point him out to us.

Uh, I'm sorry, we're a
private institution.

I'm happy to let Mr. Slaton
know you're here, mister...

Special Agents Tench, Ford, and Barney.

Excuse me a moment? Mr. and
Mrs. Peteet, right this way.

Well...

enjoy your evening.

Mr. Slaton is making an address
at the moment. Excuse me.

Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, right this way.

I apologize.

If you gentlemen could just wait in...

wait in here, I'll ask if
he can see you afterwards.

Thank you.

Mr. and Mrs. Trambley.

We're only going to get
Slaton's ear for a minute.

- [CROWD APPLAUDS]
- I'll call and see if the labs are back.

[SLATON] It's been my
pleasure to serve as chair

of the fund drive this season.

I told the board, I can't
string two notes together,

but I know good music when I hear it.

Our symphony stands up
against any in the country.

New York, Philadelphia, you name it.

Music lover. Who'd have thought?

But no cultural organization
can flourish...

without benevolent
donors like yourselves.

You are the very lifeblood
of the arts in Atlanta.

- Yes, my wife wrote that last part for me.
- [CROWD CHUCKLES]

But it's absolutely true.

These musicians are a
credit to their community,

to our city, and to the
great state of Georgia.

So please, give generously...
and enjoy your evening.

Thank you.

[TENCH] Labs are back. No blood,
but definite seminal fluid.

- [STRING QUARTET PLAYING]
- Gonna be a hard sell.

I'd hoped since you gentlemen
thought it necessary

to pull me out of my wife's event,

which took three months to plan,

you'd have a more compelling argument.

Sir, if I can explain our methodology.

[SLATON] I'm an evidence
man, Agent Tench.

You have no eyewitness
account, no relevant priors,

no evidence directly tying
this man to any of the bodies.

Sir, these types of crimes
are sexually motivated.

The men who perpetrate them are
compelled to repeat the crime...

or to relive the sexual satisfaction

by going to crime scenes and
feeling that relief again.

Finding three bodies over time

and a clear-cut scene
of self-gratification

at the same remote site...

[BARNEY] We're concerned
that if we merely surveil,

the suspect will destroy the
evidence you'll need to prosecute.

As intriguing as that sounds,

I've never issued warrants based
on radical psychological theories.

My constituents trust that I
will protect their rights

against unlawful search and seizure.

Lubie Geter has been
missing for six days.

We've got no leads and
the clock is ticking.

I'll grant your warrants.

But I want no press.

None.

This must remain absolutely silent.

Understood.

[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]

- [YARBOROUGH] It's okay.
- [WOMAN] No.

- [YARBOROUGH] Baby, don't worry about me.
- [WOMAN] What's happening?

- [YARBOROUGH] It'll be all right.
- [WOMAN] Don't touch me.

[YARBOROUGH] It'll be fine, baby.

- This is a mistake.
- [WOMAN] Don't you touch me!

Honey! Honey, please just
tell me, what's happening?

[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Don't you touch me.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

- [YARBOROUGH] It's okay, baby.
- [WOMAN] Hon... Honey?

Honey, please come back.

He can't know we've got his truck
until we get him in the room.

Hey!

- Send him around the block.
- [OFFICER] Go ahead. Circle around.

[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING OVERHEAD]

I don't know, guys.

Who's going first?

Nobody for a while.

We ought to at least start
working through the timeline.

He might have a string of
alibis for all we know.

We found it's best to let them
wait, especially at night.

If this is the guy, it's
the best way to break him.

Where are we with him?

Commissioner.

[BROWN] How confident are
we he's our perpetrator?

We won't know until we get in there.

Well, let's start working on him.
The longer we keep him,

the more likely someone
will get wind of this.

Slaton said he was very clear with you.

This is about setting
the right conditions,

creating leverage with the subject.

We may only get him once
in this state of mind.

If we get nothing from him
and this hits the papers,

this will be our second
public setback in a week.

[HOLDEN] We should put as much
effort into law enforcement

- as we do managing perceptions.
- Holden.

[REDDING] Right now, we better
put together a statement

because looks like they got hold of it.

Shit.

I'll let them know it's
an ongoing investigation.

We're in the process of ID'ing bodies.

[CHUCKLES] I don't think so.

How does the press find
out everywhere we go?

I don't know,

but I hope we find something
in that fucking truck.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

[BROWN] I cannot comment on
the individual at this time,

other than to say that we have
issued a custodial warrant.

No charges have been issued.

- [SHUTTERS CLICKING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BROWN] Ladies and gentlemen,
we will keep you apprised.
