Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:06,362 --> 00:01:08,626
Where have you been?
I've been waiting since 7:00.
2
00:01:08,731 --> 00:01:11,063
Get in. I had to find fireworks.
3
00:01:11,167 --> 00:01:12,361
Let me drive.
4
00:01:12,468 --> 00:01:14,732
Get in. I haven't eaten in 24 hours.
5
00:01:17,707 --> 00:01:19,265
Are you coming or not?
6
00:01:40,196 --> 00:01:42,096
It's too crowded.
7
00:01:42,198 --> 00:01:43,995
I thought you were starving.
8
00:01:45,802 --> 00:01:47,963
Let's go someplace quiet.
9
00:01:49,505 --> 00:01:50,665
Okay.
10
00:02:02,252 --> 00:02:03,879
What are we doing?
11
00:02:05,588 --> 00:02:09,786
Sitting. Listening to music. Talking.
12
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:14,694
- You seem weird. Is everything okay?
- Yeah, everything's fine.
13
00:02:22,572 --> 00:02:25,268
It's July.
How many shirts are you wearing?
14
00:02:25,375 --> 00:02:28,469
- I'm cold.
- You're cold on the Fourth of July?
15
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:35,008
Fuck off and die!
16
00:02:41,357 --> 00:02:44,451
- What?
- "Fuck off and die"?
17
00:02:46,095 --> 00:02:47,289
Shut up.
18
00:03:12,755 --> 00:03:14,848
Was that car at the drive-in?
19
00:03:17,427 --> 00:03:19,520
I saw that car at Mr. Ed's.
20
00:03:25,935 --> 00:03:29,200
- Do you want me to tell him to leave?
- Stay in the car.
21
00:03:44,554 --> 00:03:46,613
- Was that your husband?
- No.
22
00:03:50,893 --> 00:03:52,724
Who was that, Darlene?
23
00:03:53,663 --> 00:03:55,756
Don't worry about it.
24
00:03:55,865 --> 00:03:59,301
- Don't tell me not to worry. Who was it?
- It's nothing.
25
00:04:18,988 --> 00:04:20,478
Oh, shit.
26
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:25,088
Let's go.
27
00:04:28,664 --> 00:04:29,858
Now, D.
28
00:04:42,178 --> 00:04:43,668
Get your wallet.
29
00:04:52,255 --> 00:04:54,223
Man, you really creeped us out.
30
00:05:56,819 --> 00:05:59,515
- Vallejo Police Department.
- I want to report a double murder.
31
00:05:59,622 --> 00:06:01,214
May I have your name
and where you are calling...
32
00:06:01,324 --> 00:06:03,690
If you go one mile east
on Columbus Parkway,
33
00:06:03,793 --> 00:06:07,024
a public park,
you'll find kids in a brown car.
34
00:06:07,997 --> 00:06:10,761
They were shot with a 9mm Luger.
35
00:06:11,734 --> 00:06:13,929
I also killed those kids last year.
36
00:06:15,071 --> 00:06:17,130
Goodbye.
37
00:06:35,124 --> 00:06:36,182
Spit.
38
00:06:36,993 --> 00:06:38,790
Come on, buddy.
39
00:06:38,895 --> 00:06:41,864
- I swallowed it.
- Why?
40
00:06:41,964 --> 00:06:43,329
It was minty.
41
00:06:44,367 --> 00:06:46,835
You can't do that. It's not good for you.
42
00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:49,237
Lunch box.
43
00:06:49,338 --> 00:06:52,273
- Why am I not going on the bus?
- Because we're late.
44
00:06:54,243 --> 00:06:57,576
Okay, you're staying
with your mom and Aaron tonight.
45
00:06:58,214 --> 00:07:00,409
So, you don't like
having a new little brother?
46
00:07:00,516 --> 00:07:03,849
- No, not really.
- Oh, that's honest.
47
00:07:06,689 --> 00:07:07,849
Learn a lot.
48
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:12,925
There will be a test tonight!
49
00:07:48,197 --> 00:07:49,289
Morning.
50
00:07:52,335 --> 00:07:53,666
- Morning.
- Morning.
51
00:08:14,857 --> 00:08:16,620
How's the coffee today, Shorty?
52
00:09:03,139 --> 00:09:04,731
Editorial in two.
53
00:09:34,737 --> 00:09:35,863
Good morning, gentlemen.
54
00:09:35,971 --> 00:09:37,199
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
55
00:09:37,306 --> 00:09:39,240
Well, Stanton, tell Mr. Howe
56
00:09:39,342 --> 00:09:41,833
the draft board piece
was damn near perfect.
57
00:09:43,045 --> 00:09:44,512
Mr. Graysmith.
58
00:09:46,048 --> 00:09:47,447
Horrid.
59
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:48,608
Horrid.
60
00:09:48,718 --> 00:09:50,913
Not so horrid.
61
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:53,784
All right.
I'm thinking we go with not so horrid.
62
00:09:56,525 --> 00:09:59,153
Paul, what's on the crime beat?
63
00:09:59,261 --> 00:10:03,391
Janice in Datebook left the fondue party
before everyone got naked.
64
00:10:03,499 --> 00:10:04,796
That's a crime.
65
00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:07,425
Have you seen her? Wouldn't kid you.
66
00:10:07,536 --> 00:10:09,902
It may be the beginning of a crime wave.
67
00:10:10,806 --> 00:10:12,637
You need to see this.
68
00:10:18,047 --> 00:10:19,878
Go get the publisher.
69
00:10:19,982 --> 00:10:21,074
"Dear Editor,
70
00:10:21,183 --> 00:10:22,241
"This is the murderer
71
00:10:22,351 --> 00:10:24,546
"of the two teenagers
last Christmas at Lake Herman
72
00:10:24,653 --> 00:10:27,679
"and the girl on the Fourth of July
near the golf course in Vallejo.
73
00:10:27,790 --> 00:10:29,189
"To prove I killed them,
74
00:10:29,291 --> 00:10:32,658
"I shall state some facts
which only I and the police know.
75
00:10:32,762 --> 00:10:36,095
"Christmas,

76
00:10:36,999 --> 00:10:38,466
"Ten shots were fired.
77
00:10:38,567 --> 00:10:41,365
"The boy was on his back
with his feet to the car.
78
00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:42,732
"The girl... "
79
00:10:44,974 --> 00:10:48,000
Would you read that, please?
80
00:10:49,245 --> 00:10:51,736
"The girl was on her right side,
feet to the west.
81
00:10:51,847 --> 00:10:53,508
"Fourth of July.
82
00:10:53,616 --> 00:10:56,483
"One, girl was
wearing patterned slacks.
83
00:10:56,585 --> 00:10:58,644
"The boy was also shot in the knee.
84
00:10:58,754 --> 00:11:01,086
"Brand name of ammo was Western.
85
00:11:01,791 --> 00:11:03,554
"Here is part of a cipher.
86
00:11:03,659 --> 00:11:07,151
"The other two parts of this cipher
are being mailed to the editors of
87
00:11:07,263 --> 00:11:10,096
"the Vallejo Times and S.F. Examiner.
88
00:11:10,199 --> 00:11:13,999
"I want you to print this cipher
on the front page of your paper.
89
00:11:14,103 --> 00:11:16,503
"In this cipher is my identity.
90
00:11:16,605 --> 00:11:19,096
"If you do not print this cipher
by the afternoon of Fry,"
91
00:11:19,208 --> 00:11:25,204
F- R-Y, "First of Aug '69
I will go on a kill rampage Fry night.
92
00:11:25,314 --> 00:11:29,614
"I will cruise around all weekend

93
00:11:29,718 --> 00:11:31,242
"then move on to kill again

00:11:31,353 --> 00:11:34,982
"until I end up with
a dozen people over the weekend. "
95
00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:37,183
It's unsigned except for a symbol.
96
00:11:38,894 --> 00:11:42,022
Is it me,
or does that look like a gunsight?
97
00:11:43,499 --> 00:11:45,364
Today's August first.
98
00:11:45,468 --> 00:11:47,095
He wants his code
in the afternoon edition.
99
00:11:47,203 --> 00:11:49,899
If the Examiner doesn't have
the balls to run it, we scoop the Bay.
100
00:11:50,005 --> 00:11:52,064
Al, this man is talking about
shooting 12 people.
101
00:11:52,174 --> 00:11:53,971
And not running this
might make him do that.
102
00:11:54,076 --> 00:11:56,544
If we run it, we might be setting
a very dangerous precedent.
103
00:11:56,645 --> 00:11:58,272
Oh, come on, now, it's newsworthy.
104
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:00,405
Well, giving some sick bastard
a soapbox,
105
00:12:00,516 --> 00:12:01,540
what does that say to people?
106
00:12:01,650 --> 00:12:04,847
Back up. Is this Vallejo story true?
Do we know that?
107
00:12:04,954 --> 00:12:07,923
- Paul?
- What? I cover crime in Vallejo?
108
00:12:08,757 --> 00:12:11,021
Yeah, I cover crime in Vallejo.
Ten minutes.
109
00:12:11,126 --> 00:12:13,458
Let's shoot the code and call SFPD.
110
00:12:13,562 --> 00:12:16,895
If it turns out to be real,
at least we'll have the material.
111
00:12:17,833 --> 00:12:19,027
All right.
112
00:12:19,969 --> 00:12:22,233
Graysmith,
don't you have that cartoon to finish?
113
00:12:22,338 --> 00:12:23,566
Oh, yeah.
114
00:12:30,112 --> 00:12:32,342
Hi, this is Paul Avery
from the San Francisco Chronicle.
115
00:12:32,448 --> 00:12:35,474
I'm looking for someone to
shed some light on a letter we received.
116
00:12:36,352 --> 00:12:37,376
Thank you.
117
00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:38,911
Sergeant Mulanax.
118
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:40,784
Sergeant, Paul Avery from
the San Francisco Chronicle.
119
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:41,914
I just wanted to check
120
00:12:42,024 --> 00:12:44,049
if you had an unsolved
firearm-related homicide
121
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:46,821
on Christmas and
maybe one on July fourth.
122
00:12:46,929 --> 00:12:48,089
Shit.
123
00:12:48,631 --> 00:12:49,996
You guys got one, too?
124
00:12:51,066 --> 00:12:54,229
Confirmed.
VPD, they confirmed the shootings.
125
00:12:54,336 --> 00:12:55,394
Al's on the phone with the Examiner.
126
00:12:55,504 --> 00:12:56,903
They got the same letter
with a different code.
127
00:12:57,006 --> 00:12:58,064
So did Times-Herald.
128
00:12:58,173 --> 00:13:00,505
Christmas, two teenagers
on lover's lane. Both DOA.
129
00:13:00,643 --> 00:13:02,235
David Faraday and Betty Jensen.
130
00:13:02,344 --> 00:13:04,904
July fourth,
Darlene Ferrin and Michael...
131
00:13:05,014 --> 00:13:06,879
I think it's "Mayhew. "
Anyway, he lived, she didn't.
132
00:13:06,982 --> 00:13:08,040
The murder weapons?
133
00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:11,051
Ballistics, everything he said
in the letters matched.
134
00:13:11,153 --> 00:13:14,213
I mean, I think the Times-Herald's
gonna go with it.
135
00:13:14,323 --> 00:13:17,190
The Examiner's going,
but won't go front page.
136
00:13:17,293 --> 00:13:21,491
I say let's go front page.
If he kills 12 people, it's not our fault.
137
00:13:22,064 --> 00:13:24,624
Robert! We need the cartoon.
138
00:13:26,535 --> 00:13:29,698
- You're not finished?
- No, I'm finished, Carol. I'm finished.
139
00:13:29,805 --> 00:13:31,500
Thieriot's still here.
140
00:13:31,607 --> 00:13:32,767
Really?
141
00:13:33,242 --> 00:13:36,370
The first edition
is off the floor in 10, Charles.
142
00:13:39,748 --> 00:13:41,215
Give us a sec.
143
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,810
Okay, re-plate.
144
00:13:46,355 --> 00:13:48,880
We'll go on page four.
145
00:13:50,526 --> 00:13:53,893
What do you say, 20 bucks
whoever cracks the psycho's name?
146
00:13:53,996 --> 00:13:55,861
He won't give his name.
147
00:13:57,132 --> 00:13:58,861
Morti's? Anyone?
148
00:13:58,968 --> 00:14:01,198
- That's where I'm heading.
- All right.
149
00:14:27,696 --> 00:14:30,187
Put those on my desk. Turn on the light.
150
00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:43,034
Grab your book.
151
00:14:46,048 --> 00:14:48,107
Now go get your jammies on.
152
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:52,284
All right, people, listen up.
153
00:14:52,955 --> 00:14:57,824
The cipher's broken into three sections,
each with eight lines and 17 symbols.
154
00:14:58,093 --> 00:15:00,527
No breaks between the symbols
denoting different words.
155
00:15:00,629 --> 00:15:03,097
No numbers or clues
to substitution keys.
156
00:15:03,198 --> 00:15:05,689
And you got symbols
from at least seven different sources.
157
00:15:06,468 --> 00:15:11,303
Greek, Morse code, Navy semaphore,
weather symbols, astrological signs.
158
00:15:17,079 --> 00:15:20,242
- Hey, take a gander at this code thing.
- Okay.
159
00:15:25,587 --> 00:15:27,179
You wanna give it a go?
160
00:15:29,258 --> 00:15:32,227
Guy who used to sit there
was a great cartoonist. Bob Bastian.
161
00:15:32,327 --> 00:15:35,626
Now he's doing public television.
For some reason.
162
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:38,564
Paul Avery.
163
00:15:40,035 --> 00:15:43,004
Robert Graysmith.
I've been here nine months.
164
00:15:46,041 --> 00:15:48,305
You were right, by the way.
He didn't give his name.
165
00:15:48,410 --> 00:15:49,468
Who cracked it?
166
00:15:49,578 --> 00:15:51,705
A history teacher
and his wife in Salinas.
167
00:15:51,814 --> 00:15:54,908
"I like killing people
because it is so much fun.
168
00:15:55,017 --> 00:15:59,044
"It is more fun
than killing wild game in the forest
169
00:15:59,154 --> 00:16:03,454
"because man is the most
dangerous animal of all to kill.
170
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,460
"Something gives me
the most thrilling experience.
171
00:16:06,562 --> 00:16:10,521
"It is even better
than getting your rocks off with a girl.
172
00:16:10,632 --> 00:16:14,261
"The best part of it is that when I die,
173
00:16:14,369 --> 00:16:17,338
"I will be reborn in paradise.
174
00:16:17,439 --> 00:16:20,806
"And all that I have killed
will become my slaves.
175
00:16:20,909 --> 00:16:24,845
"I will not give you my name
because you will try to slow down
176
00:16:24,947 --> 00:16:27,973
"or stop my collecting of slaves
for my afterlife. "
177
00:16:28,083 --> 00:16:29,948
Methinks our friend's
a tad bit fuckered in the head.
178
00:16:30,052 --> 00:16:34,216
I heard he even sent Vallejo
a code key, just to help.
179
00:16:34,323 --> 00:16:36,689
- What is that at the bottom?
- Leftovers.
180
00:16:36,792 --> 00:16:38,384
Maybe an anagram.
181
00:16:54,877 --> 00:16:57,311
How does one do that?
182
00:16:58,147 --> 00:17:00,581
I like puzzles. I do them a lot.
183
00:17:01,683 --> 00:17:04,709
How did you know
he wasn't gonna give his name?
184
00:17:05,287 --> 00:17:06,914
Dangerous animal.
185
00:17:07,790 --> 00:17:09,382
Dangerous animal.
186
00:17:10,325 --> 00:17:13,192
What dangerous animal?
How do I know that?
187
00:17:20,569 --> 00:17:22,161
- Paul.
- Yes, Templeton.
188
00:17:22,271 --> 00:17:24,330
- Editorial, now.
- Very well.
189
00:17:26,508 --> 00:17:28,066
Another letter.
190
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:31,476
More of the same.
Details about the murders.
191
00:17:32,614 --> 00:17:36,516
He taped a flashlight to the gun.
That's how he hit them in the dark.
192
00:17:36,618 --> 00:17:38,677
And he gave himself a name.
193
00:17:59,842 --> 00:18:02,936
You know this used to be
the town of Montecello?
194
00:18:03,045 --> 00:18:04,376
But at some point,
195
00:18:04,479 --> 00:18:07,642
the county decided that the land
would work better as a lake.
196
00:18:07,749 --> 00:18:09,444
So they flooded it.
197
00:18:10,919 --> 00:18:14,480
- But there's an entire...
- Hidden city under the water.
198
00:18:14,590 --> 00:18:16,888
We were here last spring, remember?
199
00:18:16,992 --> 00:18:18,391
Oh, yeah.
200
00:18:24,499 --> 00:18:26,330
Somebody else is here.
201
00:18:26,435 --> 00:18:28,164
It is a public park.
202
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:32,932
I think he's watching us.
203
00:18:33,041 --> 00:18:35,202
Well, we're very good-looking.
204
00:18:40,949 --> 00:18:42,416
Where'd he go?
205
00:18:45,053 --> 00:18:46,816
He went behind that tree.
206
00:18:46,922 --> 00:18:49,288
All right. So he's taking a leak.
207
00:18:56,298 --> 00:18:58,163
He's coming towards us.
208
00:19:00,168 --> 00:19:02,136
Oh, my God, he has a gun.
209
00:19:03,038 --> 00:19:04,505
Don't move.
210
00:19:04,606 --> 00:19:07,473
- I want your money and your car keys.
- Okay.
211
00:19:08,176 --> 00:19:09,768
We're not gonna do anything, okay?
212
00:19:09,878 --> 00:19:13,370
We're gonna cooperate.
Just tell me what you want us to do.
213
00:19:17,252 --> 00:19:18,310
Here.
214
00:19:20,689 --> 00:19:23,180
You're welcome to everything I have.
215
00:19:26,762 --> 00:19:29,196
If there's anything else
I could do for you...
216
00:19:29,298 --> 00:19:31,596
Maybe I could write you a check?
217
00:19:34,169 --> 00:19:36,763
Okay, I could give you
my phone number.
218
00:19:37,372 --> 00:19:40,068
You know, I might be able to help you.
219
00:19:40,175 --> 00:19:42,268
Even more than you might think.
220
00:19:42,377 --> 00:19:44,436
He's a sociology major.
221
00:19:45,981 --> 00:19:48,575
Pre-law, actually.
222
00:19:50,719 --> 00:19:52,186
Oh, keys.
223
00:19:52,287 --> 00:19:54,414
You know, I'm sorry, I don't know exactly
where I put my keys.
224
00:19:54,523 --> 00:19:57,492
They might be on the blanket.
Is it okay if...
225
00:20:02,264 --> 00:20:03,822
Here's the keys.
226
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:07,131
Don't get up.
227
00:20:07,235 --> 00:20:09,226
I want her to tie you up.
228
00:20:13,408 --> 00:20:14,500
Okay.
229
00:20:34,262 --> 00:20:37,288
You know, if he comes any closer,
I might be able to get that gun.
230
00:20:37,399 --> 00:20:39,594
- Don't get any ideas.
- I'm not.
231
00:20:39,701 --> 00:20:42,295
I killed a guard
escaping from prison in Montana.
232
00:20:42,404 --> 00:20:44,372
I'm not doing anything, okay?
233
00:20:44,473 --> 00:20:46,634
I'm not afraid to kill again.
234
00:20:48,176 --> 00:20:49,473
Look away.
235
00:20:56,718 --> 00:20:59,084
What was the name of that prison?
236
00:21:02,924 --> 00:21:05,484
Hey, you said it was in Montana, right?
237
00:21:06,628 --> 00:21:08,289
I'm taking your car.
238
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:10,297
I'm going to Mexico.
239
00:21:10,399 --> 00:21:12,458
We didn't complain
when you tied our hands.
240
00:21:12,567 --> 00:21:14,535
Okay, you have everything that I have.
241
00:21:14,636 --> 00:21:17,469
We have done everything
that you've asked.
242
00:21:17,572 --> 00:21:18,903
It's okay. It's okay.
243
00:21:19,007 --> 00:21:21,271
She tied you loose, didn't she?
244
00:21:24,446 --> 00:21:26,539
Get on your stomach
so I can tie your feet.
245
00:21:26,648 --> 00:21:29,116
Okay.
It gets really cold out here at night.
246
00:21:29,217 --> 00:21:30,775
We could freeze.
247
00:21:39,194 --> 00:21:40,889
Okay, you all done?
248
00:21:42,931 --> 00:21:44,626
You know,
just because people are gonna ask,
249
00:21:44,733 --> 00:21:46,792
was that thing even loaded?
250
00:21:57,712 --> 00:21:59,680
It's okay.
251
00:21:59,781 --> 00:22:01,806
This is all gonna be okay.
252
00:22:30,846 --> 00:22:34,475
Dispatch, this is 43L2,
heading south on Knoxville Road.
253
00:22:34,583 --> 00:22:38,280
I've got an abandoned white
VW Karmann-Ghia...
254
00:22:52,267 --> 00:22:54,167
Napa Police Department.
255
00:22:54,269 --> 00:22:58,501
I want to report a murder.
No, a double murder.
256
00:23:00,041 --> 00:23:03,340
They are two miles north
of park headquarters.
257
00:23:03,445 --> 00:23:07,006
They were in a white
Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia.
258
00:23:08,583 --> 00:23:10,642
I'm the one that did it.
259
00:23:10,752 --> 00:23:12,811
43L2 has a male victim with him.
260
00:23:12,921 --> 00:23:15,515
Piner's ambulance
has been dispatched.
261
00:23:16,491 --> 00:23:18,652
Boy lived, the girl didn't. Again.
262
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,126
God, can you imagine
surviving something like that?
263
00:23:21,229 --> 00:23:22,628
Writing the dates on the side of the car.
264
00:23:22,731 --> 00:23:25,825
We got two Vallejo killings,
now there's one in Napa. Why Napa?
265
00:23:25,934 --> 00:23:27,834
What the hell is he doing out of Vallejo?
266
00:23:27,936 --> 00:23:31,394
Sweet mother of Christ,
what are you drawing?
267
00:23:31,506 --> 00:23:32,996
Kid at the lake.
268
00:23:33,108 --> 00:23:34,905
This is what he said
the Zodiac was wearing.
269
00:23:35,010 --> 00:23:36,238
God, that's a hell of a get-up.
270
00:23:36,344 --> 00:23:38,778
- Paul, what are you doing?
- Hyman, I wrote it. It's done.
271
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,108
Now I just got to type it up.
272
00:23:40,215 --> 00:23:42,183
Type it up?
It's not finished until you type it up.
273
00:23:42,284 --> 00:23:44,047
We've got to read it.
274
00:23:46,855 --> 00:23:49,653
- What's that?
- That's the Zodiac at the lake.
275
00:23:49,758 --> 00:23:51,157
What's the story with the kid?
276
00:23:51,259 --> 00:23:53,659
He seems a little touched
or medicated or...
277
00:23:53,762 --> 00:23:54,888
- Graysmith?
- Yeah, what is it?
278
00:23:54,996 --> 00:23:56,486
He's a fucking boy scout.
279
00:23:56,598 --> 00:23:58,793
He doesn't smoke,
he doesn't drink, he doesn't curse.
280
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:00,333
- And he's back.
- I knew it.
281
00:24:00,435 --> 00:24:01,766
"Man is the most
dangerous animal of all. "
282
00:24:01,870 --> 00:24:02,962
I knew that
I heard that from somewhere.
283
00:24:03,071 --> 00:24:05,369
The Most Dangerous Game.
284
00:24:05,473 --> 00:24:08,442
It's a movie about a Count
who hunts people for sport.
285
00:24:08,543 --> 00:24:09,567
People.
286
00:24:09,678 --> 00:24:11,646
The Most Dangerous Game.
287
00:24:12,414 --> 00:24:14,848
- Who's that?
- That's Count Zaroff.
288
00:24:14,950 --> 00:24:17,043
Zaroff? With a "Z"?
289
00:24:19,721 --> 00:24:21,450
And that will be
all for the news on the 20.
290
00:24:21,556 --> 00:24:23,854
We've got curfews in effect tonight
for the following counties:
291
00:24:23,959 --> 00:24:28,089
Napa, Solano, Contra Costa,
Alameda, Marin, and San Mateo.
292
00:24:28,196 --> 00:24:30,323
So please, everyone, stay safe.
293
00:24:30,432 --> 00:24:33,731
Vic in San Francisco, you're on the line.
You're not scared of the Zodiac?
294
00:24:33,835 --> 00:24:36,895
Heck no,
he's only shooting those farm kids.
295
00:24:37,005 --> 00:24:39,599
What scares me
is those hippies out in the Haight
296
00:24:39,708 --> 00:24:41,573
with their free love and weird clothes.
297
00:24:41,676 --> 00:24:43,667
We've got Alfred from Vacaville.
298
00:24:43,778 --> 00:24:46,042
You know, I think
that was really offensive.
299
00:24:46,147 --> 00:24:47,774
It's not just farm kids.
300
00:24:47,882 --> 00:24:49,747
These are nice, clean-cut young people.
301
00:24:49,851 --> 00:24:52,285
Hey, nobody's downplaying
the loss of human life here, Alfred.
302
00:24:52,387 --> 00:24:54,378
Well, that last guy was.
303
00:24:54,489 --> 00:24:57,322
We have good solid communities
out here in the North Bay.
304
00:24:57,425 --> 00:25:00,952
Unlike in the city where you have
Satanists running around.
305
00:25:01,062 --> 00:25:04,520
Well, you bring up a good question.
Is the Zodiac a Satanist?
306
00:25:04,633 --> 00:25:06,328
Amber from Oakland,
what do you think?
307
00:25:06,434 --> 00:25:07,628
I don't really know,
308
00:25:07,736 --> 00:25:10,830
but I thought that code
they printed didn't look very Christian.
309
00:25:10,939 --> 00:25:13,635
But I think the bigger problem
is that the papers shouldn't have printed
310
00:25:13,742 --> 00:25:15,573
anything that the Zodiac
has been doing.
311
00:25:15,677 --> 00:25:18,805
That they're just printing
all that stuff to sell more newspapers.
312
00:25:18,913 --> 00:25:21,074
Well, the Zodiac did demand
they print his letters
313
00:25:21,182 --> 00:25:22,774
or he'd kill more people.
314
00:25:22,884 --> 00:25:24,181
Yeah, but he would have
done it anyway,
315
00:25:24,286 --> 00:25:25,844
whether they printed it or not, I think.
316
00:25:25,954 --> 00:25:27,387
An interesting point.
317
00:25:27,489 --> 00:25:29,423
So, what do you think he'll do next?
318
00:25:50,178 --> 00:25:53,739
- San Francisco Police Department.
- Yes. There's a fight in a cab!
319
00:25:53,848 --> 00:25:55,076
What is your location?
320
00:25:55,183 --> 00:25:58,152
3398 Washington,
at the corner of Cherry.
321
00:25:58,253 --> 00:25:59,982
One's drunk and
we think he's robbing him.
322
00:26:00,088 --> 00:26:03,216
- Is the crime still in progress?
- Yes, please hurry.
323
00:26:04,926 --> 00:26:06,359
Oh, my God, look!
324
00:26:29,417 --> 00:26:30,645
Nuts!
325
00:26:33,955 --> 00:26:35,752
Whoever this is,
you owe me a new lamp.
326
00:26:35,857 --> 00:26:38,485
Cabbie's been shot
three blocks from the Presidio.
327
00:26:38,593 --> 00:26:40,788
Well, it wasn't me.
I've been with my bride all night.
328
00:26:40,895 --> 00:26:43,864
- She can vouch.
- Go put on the Folgers.
329
00:26:43,965 --> 00:26:45,364
You'll pick me up?
330
00:26:45,467 --> 00:26:47,298
Let me just describe
the lamp you're gonna buy me.
331
00:26:56,144 --> 00:26:59,079
- I just got to sleep.
- Suspect's Negro, male adult.
332
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:01,671
Walt's on scene, locked up the cab
and secured the crowd.
333
00:27:01,783 --> 00:27:04,684
Seriously, dead asleep.
I lost feeling in my arm and everything.
334
00:27:04,786 --> 00:27:06,083
Crackers.
335
00:27:09,958 --> 00:27:11,949
You ever try Japanese food?
336
00:27:12,060 --> 00:27:14,722
What do you mean, like teriyaki?
No, like the urchin.
337
00:27:14,829 --> 00:27:17,195
- Raw fish.
- I'm eating here, Bill.
338
00:27:18,566 --> 00:27:21,535
- I always wanted to try it.
- So, why don't you?
339
00:27:21,636 --> 00:27:23,604
Haven't got around to it.
340
00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:42,348
Evening, gents.
A lovely night for a botched robbery.
341
00:27:42,457 --> 00:27:45,017
Yeah, third this week.
Must be end of summer rush.
342
00:27:45,126 --> 00:27:48,254
I got foot patrols going through the park,
dogs are on the way.
343
00:27:48,363 --> 00:27:52,663
The victim's name is Paul Stine.
Dousette pronounced him at 10:10.
344
00:27:52,767 --> 00:27:54,860
Suspect fired one shot
to the back of the head.
345
00:27:54,969 --> 00:27:56,869
Driver's wallet
and car keys are missing.
346
00:27:56,971 --> 00:27:57,995
How'd you know his name?
347
00:27:58,106 --> 00:28:01,041
Leroy, there, came down
from Yellow Cab to ID him.
348
00:28:01,142 --> 00:28:02,700
Neighborhood's pretty high-end
for this kind of thing,
349
00:28:02,811 --> 00:28:03,911
so I already set up transpo for the cab.
350
00:28:03,946 --> 00:28:05,012
So I already set up transpo for the cab.
351
00:28:05,113 --> 00:28:06,580
- Coroner's here.
- Any witnesses?
352
00:28:06,681 --> 00:28:10,117
Kids who called it in
saw the suspect from that window.
353
00:28:10,218 --> 00:28:11,708
- Did they hear a shot?
- No.
354
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:13,117
They first saw him in the front seat,
355
00:28:13,221 --> 00:28:14,916
thought he was a drunk
fighting with the driver.
356
00:28:15,023 --> 00:28:17,992
Oldest kid ran downstairs to get
a better look from the dining room,
357
00:28:18,092 --> 00:28:19,889
described him as a white male, glasses,
358
00:28:19,994 --> 00:28:22,189
crew-cut, stocky,
and wearing a dark jacket.
359
00:28:22,297 --> 00:28:24,094
Wait, I thought someone said
he was black.
360
00:28:24,199 --> 00:28:26,099
That's the description
that went out to radio cars.
361
00:28:26,201 --> 00:28:29,136
- We already corrected it.
- Oh, well, that's good.
362
00:28:29,237 --> 00:28:31,603
- You guys need anything else?
- No. Get out of here.
363
00:28:31,706 --> 00:28:33,640
Thanks. Happy Birthday.
364
00:28:33,741 --> 00:28:36,437
- Wait, it's your birthday?
- Yep.
365
00:28:36,544 --> 00:28:38,671
- That's great. Happy birthday.
- Thanks.
366
00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:41,772
- Body or scene?
- It's your birthday, I'll take the body.
367
00:28:41,883 --> 00:28:44,408
Dave, looks like he
wiped the cab down pretty good.
368
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:46,510
- We got some blood over here.
- Prints?
369
00:28:46,621 --> 00:28:48,452
Could very well be.
We'll dust it at the Hall.
370
00:28:48,556 --> 00:28:51,320
The odd thing is, we also got gloves.
371
00:28:51,426 --> 00:28:53,826
- Suspect's?
- There's blood on them.
372
00:28:55,263 --> 00:28:56,457
- Hey, Pete?
- Yeah, Dave.
373
00:28:56,564 --> 00:28:57,724
You through over there,
can I get in there?
374
00:28:57,832 --> 00:28:59,459
Yeah, I'm all set.
375
00:29:00,268 --> 00:29:02,259
- Who rolled him?
- Stewarts.
376
00:29:09,344 --> 00:29:11,335
I got a single 9mm casing.
377
00:29:15,850 --> 00:29:17,715
Yeah, Luger.
378
00:29:17,819 --> 00:29:19,650
Nothing from the crowd.
379
00:29:19,754 --> 00:29:22,621
Okay.
I'm your shooter, Negro male adult,
380
00:29:22,724 --> 00:29:26,057
who also happens to be
a stocky, crew-cut Caucasian.
381
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,685
I flag a cab. I give him this address.
382
00:29:28,796 --> 00:29:31,560
Did I give him this address?
Who's got the fare book?
383
00:29:31,666 --> 00:29:32,997
Right here.
384
00:29:35,336 --> 00:29:38,203
Washington and Maple.
That's one block east.
385
00:29:59,227 --> 00:30:00,489
Lighting's the same over here,
386
00:30:00,595 --> 00:30:03,029
so maybe I see
someone walking their dog.
387
00:30:03,131 --> 00:30:05,964
You don't want any witnesses
so you tell him to go down a block.
388
00:30:06,067 --> 00:30:07,125
He pulls over.
389
00:30:07,235 --> 00:30:09,100
I wait for him to put it in park
because I'm smart
390
00:30:09,203 --> 00:30:10,568
and I don't want him
hitting the accelerator
391
00:30:10,672 --> 00:30:11,934
when I shoot him. May I?
392
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,406
He stops, puts it in park, boom.
393
00:30:14,509 --> 00:30:17,205
I shoot him on the right side,
he slumps right?
394
00:30:17,312 --> 00:30:19,303
Maybe you've got your hand
on his collar when you shoot.
395
00:30:19,414 --> 00:30:20,574
All right. So, either way,
396
00:30:20,682 --> 00:30:22,377
I just dumped a quart of blood
in the front seat.
397
00:30:22,483 --> 00:30:25,611
- So, why do you get in the front seat?
- For the money.
398
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,744
But he's dead.
399
00:30:26,854 --> 00:30:28,549
You could just reach over the seat,
pull out his wallet.
400
00:30:28,656 --> 00:30:30,817
You don't have to go
anywhere near the blood.
401
00:30:30,925 --> 00:30:33,393
So, why'd he get in the front seat?
402
00:30:33,928 --> 00:30:35,589
- I'm an idiot.
- But you're not an idiot.
403
00:30:35,697 --> 00:30:37,358
You waited for him to put it in park.
404
00:30:37,465 --> 00:30:39,660
- Right. Thank you.
- Yeah, sure.
405
00:30:41,402 --> 00:30:43,233
- Can I see that?
- Yeah.
406
00:30:43,771 --> 00:30:47,036
I am an idiot.
I just killed a man for $8.25.
407
00:30:47,141 --> 00:30:51,441
It's his third fare of the night.
Does anyone have any animal crackers?
408
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:54,175
- Animal crackers?
- They're in the car.
409
00:30:54,282 --> 00:30:56,477
I'm saving those for later.
410
00:30:56,584 --> 00:30:57,744
Fine.
411
00:31:02,223 --> 00:31:05,920
- Are you a reporter?
- No, I'm Inspector Dave Toschi, SFPD.
412
00:31:06,027 --> 00:31:08,552
Sir, I was wondering
if I'd be able to talk to your children,
413
00:31:08,663 --> 00:31:10,893
one at a time and preferably alone?
414
00:31:10,999 --> 00:31:12,864
They just saw a man murdered.
415
00:31:12,967 --> 00:31:14,901
I understand.
416
00:31:15,003 --> 00:31:16,493
It looked like
they were drunk and fighting.
417
00:31:16,604 --> 00:31:17,901
Yeah, and he had a rag.
418
00:31:18,006 --> 00:31:20,372
He came around the side of the car
and he was wiping stuff.
419
00:31:20,475 --> 00:31:23,808
- Did you get a chance to see his face?
- I did.
420
00:31:23,911 --> 00:31:25,401
Well, sort of.
421
00:31:26,681 --> 00:31:29,172
Did you remember what he looked like?
422
00:31:30,685 --> 00:31:32,676
- Normal.
- Yeah.
423
00:31:32,787 --> 00:31:33,981
"Normal"?
424
00:31:56,811 --> 00:31:58,369
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
425
00:31:58,479 --> 00:32:00,379
"I am the murderer of the taxi driver
426
00:32:00,481 --> 00:32:04,383
"over by Washington Street
and Maple Street last night.
427
00:32:04,485 --> 00:32:06,919
"To prove this, here is
a blood-stained piece of his shirt.
428
00:32:07,021 --> 00:32:11,958
"I am the same man who did in
the people in the North Bay Area.
429
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:14,620
"The S.F. Police could have
caught me last night
430
00:32:14,729 --> 00:32:16,253
"if they had searched the park properly
431
00:32:16,364 --> 00:32:19,629
"instead of holding road races
with their motorcicles. "
432
00:32:19,734 --> 00:32:21,224
- Gentlemen.
- Dave.
433
00:32:21,335 --> 00:32:23,269
Paul. Where's the shirt?
434
00:32:24,706 --> 00:32:26,298
Right there, boss.
435
00:32:27,508 --> 00:32:29,066
There's your rag the kids talked about.
436
00:32:29,177 --> 00:32:31,168
So he got in the front seat
to tear off a piece of the shirt.
437
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:33,679
- Is this on the record?
- Well, what do you think?
438
00:32:33,781 --> 00:32:35,806
He confirms
the Vallejo and Napa killings.
439
00:32:35,917 --> 00:32:37,475
Gets worse.
440
00:32:37,585 --> 00:32:39,610
Robert, do you have a deadline?
441
00:32:39,721 --> 00:32:41,848
What does he mean, it gets worse?
442
00:32:41,956 --> 00:32:43,355
Read the last part.
443
00:32:43,458 --> 00:32:45,688
"School children make nice targets.
444
00:32:45,793 --> 00:32:48,091
"I think I shall wipe out
a school bus some morning.
445
00:32:48,196 --> 00:32:49,857
"Just shoot out the front tire
446
00:32:49,964 --> 00:32:52,364
"and then pick off the kiddies
as they come bouncing out. "
447
00:32:52,467 --> 00:32:54,992
Jesus Christ, who's got school buses?
Department of Transportation?
448
00:32:55,103 --> 00:32:57,003
- School board.
- All right.
449
00:32:57,105 --> 00:32:59,369
I'm gonna need elimination prints
from your staff.
450
00:32:59,474 --> 00:33:01,965
Anyone here didn't touch this letter?
451
00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:08,608
On my way back to my desk.
They have phones, if you want.
452
00:33:08,716 --> 00:33:10,308
We need to get matches
on blood and fabric.
453
00:33:10,418 --> 00:33:11,578
I'll call Napa and Vallejo,
454
00:33:11,686 --> 00:33:13,483
get the letters up to Sherwood
in Sacramento.
455
00:33:13,588 --> 00:33:16,989
Dave, just one thing.
Is it true they got a print off the cab?
456
00:33:17,091 --> 00:33:19,423
Yeah, we got a partial in blood.
457
00:33:20,294 --> 00:33:23,422
- But that is not for publication.
- Hey, hey, come on.
458
00:33:23,531 --> 00:33:25,761
Hey, it's me.
459
00:33:25,867 --> 00:33:27,960
Did he say they got a print?
460
00:33:29,070 --> 00:33:30,264
Partial.
461
00:33:31,272 --> 00:33:32,330
Whoa.
462
00:33:33,708 --> 00:33:35,198
Dude, he wears his gun like Bullitt.
463
00:33:35,309 --> 00:33:37,675
No, McQueen got that from Toschi.
464
00:33:37,779 --> 00:33:39,508
Does he think that Zodiac's
gonna send another code?
465
00:33:39,614 --> 00:33:41,445
'Cause I think Zodiac's
gonna send another code.
466
00:33:41,549 --> 00:33:43,574
Jesus Harold Christ
on rubber crutches, Bobby.
467
00:33:43,684 --> 00:33:44,708
What are you doing?
468
00:33:44,819 --> 00:33:46,116
You're doing that thing,
the thing we discussed,
469
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:48,711
the thing that I don't like.
Starts with an "L."
470
00:33:48,823 --> 00:33:50,723
- Oh, looming.
- Yeah.
471
00:33:50,825 --> 00:33:53,726
In cooperation with SFPD,
we will run the Zodiac letter
472
00:33:53,828 --> 00:33:56,490
without including the threat
on school children.
473
00:33:56,597 --> 00:33:58,258
We don't want to start a city-wide panic
474
00:33:58,366 --> 00:34:01,858
so I'm asking all of you
to please keep this confidential.
475
00:34:01,969 --> 00:34:04,164
Just go about your daily business.
476
00:34:04,272 --> 00:34:05,603
Thank you.
477
00:34:21,322 --> 00:34:24,314
I packed you your carrots
and your soda and peanut butter, okay?
478
00:34:24,425 --> 00:34:27,360
- Dad, you don't have to wait with me.
- I know.
479
00:34:34,769 --> 00:34:38,569
You know what? You know what?
I'm gonna drive him today, okay?
480
00:34:39,073 --> 00:34:40,267
Come on.
481
00:34:58,459 --> 00:34:59,983
What's that?
482
00:35:00,094 --> 00:35:02,619
Similarities in the lowercase "r's. "
483
00:35:11,806 --> 00:35:12,932
And that?
484
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,008
It is you waiting in the hall
if you speak again.
485
00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:16,940
I have to concentrate.
486
00:35:17,345 --> 00:35:18,437
Sorry.
487
00:35:18,546 --> 00:35:20,514
"Sorry" counts as speaking.
488
00:35:31,425 --> 00:35:34,394
There are similarities
in the lowercase "r's. "
489
00:35:38,466 --> 00:35:40,900
We have to release the bus threat.
490
00:35:41,502 --> 00:35:44,130
- It'll screw us.
- We're already screwed.
491
00:35:44,238 --> 00:35:46,468
We just went from
"Routine Cabbie Shooting"
492
00:35:46,574 --> 00:35:48,735
to "Mass Murderer Targets Kids. "
493
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:59,613
The Zodiac Killer
has come to San Francisco.
494
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,746
Confirmation tonight, from the
San Francisco Police Department
495
00:36:02,857 --> 00:36:04,791
that in his latest haunting letter,
496
00:36:04,892 --> 00:36:08,089
which takes credit for the murder
of cab driver Paul Stine,
497
00:36:08,195 --> 00:36:11,562
the Zodiac has threatened to,
"Wipe out a school bus
498
00:36:11,666 --> 00:36:14,999
"and pick off the kiddies
as they come bouncing out. "
499
00:36:18,472 --> 00:36:21,134
If you think you might know
who the Zodiac is,
500
00:36:21,242 --> 00:36:24,905
you can call the San Francisco
Police Department's newest tip line.
501
00:36:48,536 --> 00:36:51,471
Press conference is at 4:00.
We got to give them something.
502
00:36:51,572 --> 00:36:53,164
We're coordinating
with the school board,
503
00:36:53,274 --> 00:36:55,265
and we expect
a break in the case very soon.
504
00:36:55,376 --> 00:36:57,139
- What do we really got?
- We're swamped.
505
00:36:57,244 --> 00:36:58,609
When they can't get anyone
on the tip line
506
00:36:58,713 --> 00:37:00,408
they call the switchboard
and keep getting put through.
507
00:37:00,514 --> 00:37:01,503
You got any hard suspects?
508
00:37:01,615 --> 00:37:04,311
About 90 an hour. I'm up to around 500.
509
00:37:04,418 --> 00:37:05,544
Well, can't you narrow it down?
510
00:37:05,653 --> 00:37:07,814
I would love to,
if I could get out of this...
511
00:37:07,922 --> 00:37:11,414
- Homicide, please hold.
- Yeah, hold, please.
512
00:37:11,525 --> 00:37:13,390
We're gonna need to tell them
we got the entire force on this.
513
00:37:13,494 --> 00:37:14,620
How many men can you give me?
514
00:37:14,729 --> 00:37:16,720
Well, right now, it's you and Bill
and Monday's a school day.
515
00:37:16,831 --> 00:37:18,731
Yeah, I know, Chief.
I have three daughters of my own.
516
00:37:18,833 --> 00:37:20,767
Yeah, I know. Where's Armstrong?
517
00:37:20,868 --> 00:37:22,335
He's on the phone with Vallejo.
518
00:37:22,436 --> 00:37:24,370
We're playing catch up, Jack.
519
00:37:24,472 --> 00:37:26,963
I'd like to set up a meeting
with your survivor, Michael Mageau.
520
00:37:27,074 --> 00:37:28,666
I can't. He skipped town.
521
00:37:28,776 --> 00:37:31,404
The only guy who's seen Zodiac
without a mask is missing?
522
00:37:31,512 --> 00:37:34,640
When he was still in the hospital
we could show him lineups all day long.
523
00:37:34,749 --> 00:37:36,148
As soon as he got out, he split.
524
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:37,274
Really? Why?
525
00:37:37,385 --> 00:37:39,683
I don't think he wanted
to have anything to do with this.
526
00:37:39,787 --> 00:37:41,755
Can you send us everything
that you have?
527
00:37:41,856 --> 00:37:44,689
Well, the road goes both ways.
528
00:37:44,792 --> 00:37:47,920
Now, we need that print
you lifted from the cab
529
00:37:48,029 --> 00:37:49,963
and we should have been in
on the handwriting.
530
00:37:50,064 --> 00:37:52,328
I apologize.
Things have been moving fast.
531
00:37:52,433 --> 00:37:55,163
Who should I talk to in Napa
so we can coordinate?
532
00:37:55,269 --> 00:37:56,395
Talk to Ken Narlow.
533
00:37:56,504 --> 00:37:58,369
We really should have been in
on the handwriting.
534
00:37:58,472 --> 00:38:00,940
I apologize.
Things have been moving fast.
535
00:38:01,042 --> 00:38:02,475
Listen, we're gonna need
your scene photos.
536
00:38:02,576 --> 00:38:03,600
Can't help you.
537
00:38:03,711 --> 00:38:05,645
Ken, I don't want to get into
a jurisdictional thing here.
538
00:38:05,746 --> 00:38:08,340
No, no, no, no, no.
We didn't have a crime scene.
539
00:38:08,449 --> 00:38:11,680
The ranger that found the kids literally
swept everything into a picnic blanket.
540
00:38:11,786 --> 00:38:13,481
All we have are the Wing Walker prints.
541
00:38:13,587 --> 00:38:14,679
The what?
542
00:38:14,789 --> 00:38:16,484
Boot prints to and from the crime scene
543
00:38:16,590 --> 00:38:18,888
were made by size
10-and-a-half Wing Walkers,
544
00:38:18,993 --> 00:38:21,928
military-style boots
sold only at military PXs
545
00:38:22,263 --> 00:38:24,288
designed to walk
on the wings of planes.
546
00:38:24,398 --> 00:38:26,889
And you can't buy at a PX
without a military ID,
547
00:38:27,001 --> 00:38:28,935
so our suspect could be military.
548
00:38:29,036 --> 00:38:30,799
Did you guys narrow your list off of this?
549
00:38:30,905 --> 00:38:32,998
- Yeah.
- Did Vallejo?
550
00:38:33,107 --> 00:38:35,200
I don't know. I don't work in Vallejo.
I work here.
551
00:38:35,309 --> 00:38:37,436
Great. I'm gonna need photos
of those boot prints.
552
00:38:37,545 --> 00:38:39,513
Sure, if you send me the handwriting.
553
00:38:39,613 --> 00:38:41,205
I thought Questioned Documents
already did.
554
00:38:41,315 --> 00:38:42,805
Nope. Vallejo's got them, not us.
555
00:38:42,917 --> 00:38:44,908
All right.
I'll have Questioned Documents...
556
00:38:45,019 --> 00:38:46,919
Forget it. I'll telefax it to you.
557
00:38:47,021 --> 00:38:48,488
We don't have telefax yet.
558
00:38:48,589 --> 00:38:51,183
- Okay, I'll put it in the mail.
- We'll mail ours, too.
559
00:38:51,292 --> 00:38:52,953
And call Mulanax in Vallejo.
560
00:38:53,060 --> 00:38:55,153
- Maybe he can get you a mimeo.
- Right.
561
00:38:55,262 --> 00:38:57,628
Why don't you just get a photo
off the original plaster cast?
562
00:38:57,731 --> 00:38:59,824
We'd have to wait,
because they don't have a fax.
563
00:38:59,934 --> 00:39:01,367
We don't have a fax, either.
564
00:39:01,469 --> 00:39:03,198
Look, I'm just trying
to get us coordinated.
565
00:39:03,304 --> 00:39:04,771
Have you called Solano Sheriff's Office?
566
00:39:04,872 --> 00:39:06,499
Why would I call Solano?
567
00:39:06,607 --> 00:39:10,202
Because the two kids that got killed
last Christmas were Solano's.
568
00:39:10,311 --> 00:39:11,505
I thought they were Vallejo.
569
00:39:11,612 --> 00:39:12,909
No, they were over the county line
570
00:39:13,013 --> 00:39:15,208
so you're gonna need
to coordinate with them, too.
571
00:39:15,316 --> 00:39:16,749
Okay.
572
00:39:16,851 --> 00:39:17,943
Bill.
573
00:39:18,652 --> 00:39:20,517
Can I have a word with you?
574
00:39:23,457 --> 00:39:25,550
Where did you see this guy?
575
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,794
We got the call to circle the scene
and look for a Negro male adult.
576
00:39:28,896 --> 00:39:30,363
Where was he?
577
00:39:30,464 --> 00:39:32,898
On Jackson. Heading east.
About the middle of the block.
578
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,025
And this is three minutes
after the shooting?
579
00:39:35,136 --> 00:39:36,296
Give or take. Yeah.
580
00:39:36,403 --> 00:39:38,633
- And you were heading east or west?
- We were going west.
581
00:39:38,739 --> 00:39:40,969
All right, so you're
on Jackson going west.
582
00:39:41,075 --> 00:39:44,203
So the cab was one block
catty-corner southwest?
583
00:39:44,311 --> 00:39:45,972
- Correct.
- Did you slow down?
584
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,741
- Of course we slowed down.
- All right.
585
00:39:47,848 --> 00:39:50,146
Listen, Dispatch said
it was a Negro male.
586
00:39:50,251 --> 00:39:51,513
That was corrected.
587
00:39:51,619 --> 00:39:54,281
No, but at the time
they hadn't changed it.
588
00:39:54,388 --> 00:39:56,447
This guy was white.
589
00:39:56,557 --> 00:39:58,388
Right, not in a hurry.
Kind of lumbering along like...
590
00:39:58,492 --> 00:40:01,086
Lumbering?
What do you mean, "lumbering"?
591
00:40:02,396 --> 00:40:05,092
- Shuffling.
- Stocky? Had a crew cut?
592
00:40:06,066 --> 00:40:08,296
Yeah, that's all correct.
593
00:40:08,402 --> 00:40:10,131
Listen, it was dark.
594
00:40:11,071 --> 00:40:13,096
The guy was wearing a dark jacket.
There's no way...
595
00:40:13,207 --> 00:40:15,698
He would have been covered in blood.
596
00:40:17,311 --> 00:40:18,903
Did you stop him?
597
00:40:20,981 --> 00:40:22,744
Did you talk to him?
598
00:40:23,350 --> 00:40:25,284
- Yes? No?
- No.
599
00:40:26,187 --> 00:40:27,677
You need to get with a sketch artist.
600
00:40:27,788 --> 00:40:30,780
We have to put out
a new composite right away.
601
00:40:33,694 --> 00:40:36,754
Five persons have been murdered
in the San Francisco area,
602
00:40:36,931 --> 00:40:38,330
and in each case the killer...
603
00:40:38,432 --> 00:40:40,923
"I shall wipe out a school bus
some morning... "
604
00:40:41,035 --> 00:40:42,662
San Francisco police...
605
00:40:44,538 --> 00:40:47,268
...to see the Stones in concert
this Sunday.
606
00:40:47,374 --> 00:40:49,433
The new letters
from the Zodiac Killer were sent to
607
00:40:49,543 --> 00:40:51,477
the City room of the
San Francisco Chronicle.
608
00:40:52,947 --> 00:40:55,472
Looming. No looming.
609
00:40:55,583 --> 00:40:58,677
- Have you considered the water theory?
- What?
610
00:40:58,786 --> 00:41:01,448
Geographically, every attack
takes place near a body of water
611
00:41:01,555 --> 00:41:02,852
- or a water-based name.
- This is your water theory?
612
00:41:02,957 --> 00:41:05,391
Lake Berryessa. Blue Rock Springs.
Lake Herman.
613
00:41:05,492 --> 00:41:07,653
Wash-ington and Cherry?
614
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:11,222
You think?
615
00:41:11,332 --> 00:41:12,356
No.
616
00:41:12,466 --> 00:41:13,865
I'm reading this book,
617
00:41:13,968 --> 00:41:15,595
Homicide Investigation
by Lemoyne Snyder...
618
00:41:15,703 --> 00:41:17,102
- "Leymone. "
... and he says you look for patterns,
619
00:41:17,204 --> 00:41:19,297
- so I'm looking for patterns.
- No.
620
00:41:19,406 --> 00:41:21,738
You can't think of this case
in normal police terms.
621
00:41:21,842 --> 00:41:24,003
- Why not?
- You got four crime scenes:
622
00:41:24,111 --> 00:41:27,012
Solano, Vallejo, Berryessa, and here.
623
00:41:27,114 --> 00:41:31,141
Not a single usable print
at the first three or in any of the letters?
624
00:41:31,252 --> 00:41:34,744
How does our master criminal come
to the city and leave a bloody latent?
625
00:41:34,855 --> 00:41:37,415
I mean, assuming the gloves are his,
626
00:41:37,524 --> 00:41:39,219
he shoots the cabbie
and then takes them off?
627
00:41:39,326 --> 00:41:40,486
So it's not his print?
628
00:41:40,594 --> 00:41:42,357
Maybe, maybe not.
You're missing the point.
629
00:41:42,463 --> 00:41:45,057
- The point is the first attack...
- David Faraday and Betty Jensen.
630
00:41:45,165 --> 00:41:46,723
They both die.
631
00:41:46,834 --> 00:41:49,302
From there on out,
he only manages to kill the girls.
632
00:41:49,403 --> 00:41:51,337
- Not for lack of trying.
- Not for lack of trying.
633
00:41:51,438 --> 00:41:54,965
Mageau lives, Ferrin dies.
Hartnell lives, Shepard dies.
634
00:41:55,075 --> 00:41:58,442
He gets so caught up with the women
he forgets to finish off the men.
635
00:41:58,545 --> 00:42:00,877
Plus, they're all couples
and all on lover's lanes.
636
00:42:00,981 --> 00:42:02,812
- Paul Stine is not.
- Exactly.
637
00:42:02,916 --> 00:42:05,043
Single, male cab driver
on Washington and Cherry doesn't fit.
638
00:42:05,152 --> 00:42:06,517
Doesn't fit.
639
00:42:07,488 --> 00:42:09,752
So, why does Zodiac kill him?
640
00:42:12,593 --> 00:42:14,584
He's breaking the pattern.
641
00:42:23,804 --> 00:42:24,828
Yeah?
642
00:42:24,938 --> 00:42:28,169
Someone claiming to be Zodiac
called Oakland PD a half-hour ago.
643
00:42:28,275 --> 00:42:31,870
He says he's gonna call in on Jim
Dunbar's morning show in three hours.
644
00:42:32,112 --> 00:42:33,170
On television?
645
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,339
He wants Melvin Belli on
to counsel him.
646
00:42:35,449 --> 00:42:37,542
All right. All right.
Let's go wake up Melvin.
647
00:42:40,020 --> 00:42:41,885
Animal crackers?
648
00:42:41,989 --> 00:42:43,286
Glove box.
649
00:42:43,390 --> 00:42:45,085
Are these windows bulletproof?
650
00:42:45,192 --> 00:42:47,717
Yes, Melvin.
You don't have to lie down back there.
651
00:42:47,828 --> 00:42:49,022
This man is a marksman,
652
00:42:49,129 --> 00:42:51,962
could snuff me out
at a moment's notice.
653
00:42:52,066 --> 00:42:53,431
Are you sure you're up for this?
654
00:42:53,534 --> 00:42:57,971
Don't you worry about me, Inspector.
I'll be fine when the lights are on.
655
00:42:58,072 --> 00:42:59,801
This man has asked for my help.
656
00:42:59,907 --> 00:43:01,966
The man you're worrying about
snuffing you out?
657
00:43:02,076 --> 00:43:04,010
What are these, cookies?
658
00:43:05,746 --> 00:43:07,771
Dear Lord, do you ever clean this car?
659
00:43:07,881 --> 00:43:11,214
- Shit.
- KGO must have tipped other stations.
660
00:43:21,161 --> 00:43:23,959
Get him talking.
Convince him to meet you somewhere.
661
00:43:24,064 --> 00:43:25,588
If you see an opportunity,
662
00:43:25,699 --> 00:43:28,327
we want you to suggest
Old St. Mary's Church in Chinatown.
663
00:43:28,435 --> 00:43:29,595
You'll be tracing the call?
664
00:43:29,703 --> 00:43:32,797
Pacific Telephone says you need to
keep him on the line for 15 minutes.
665
00:43:32,906 --> 00:43:35,136
We can do that, can't we, Jim?
666
00:43:37,511 --> 00:43:39,843
Fifteen seconds. Clear the set.
667
00:43:46,220 --> 00:43:48,415
Here you go, you drunken reprobate.
668
00:43:48,522 --> 00:43:52,322
We interrupt our regular program
to bring you this news bulletin.
669
00:43:52,426 --> 00:43:54,394
Welcome to this special edition
of our show
670
00:43:54,495 --> 00:43:56,360
in which we are joined
by attorney Melvin Belli
671
00:43:56,463 --> 00:43:59,830
who the Zodiac Killer
personally requested to appear.
672
00:43:59,933 --> 00:44:01,764
Finish up, buddy, and put it in the sink.
673
00:44:01,869 --> 00:44:04,667
- Good morning, Melvin.
- Good morning, Jim.
674
00:44:04,838 --> 00:44:08,205
So, the phone lines are open.
Mr. Belli is here.
675
00:44:08,308 --> 00:44:09,332
Here to help, Jim.
676
00:44:09,443 --> 00:44:11,274
Yes. Here to help.
677
00:44:11,378 --> 00:44:16,077
And we ask the public not to call in,
so that the Zodiac himself can reach us.
678
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:28,560
I saw your Star Trek, by the way.
It was excellent.
679
00:44:28,662 --> 00:44:30,596
A shame about the show.
680
00:44:30,697 --> 00:44:32,164
Good people.
681
00:44:32,266 --> 00:44:35,895
You know, I've often thought of
becoming an actor full-time.
682
00:44:36,003 --> 00:44:37,368
What was your character's name?
683
00:44:37,471 --> 00:44:39,666
- Gorgon.
- Gorgon. That's right.
684
00:44:41,208 --> 00:44:43,108
Roll the tape. Get the tape.
685
00:44:43,210 --> 00:44:45,474
Jim, we have a call. We're going live.
686
00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:48,174
Hello?
687
00:44:51,752 --> 00:44:53,913
Hello? This is Melvin Belli.
688
00:44:55,088 --> 00:44:56,953
Who am I speaking with?
689
00:44:57,357 --> 00:44:59,757
This is the Zodiac speaking.
690
00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:06,698
Is there something I can call you
that's a little less ominous?
691
00:45:08,735 --> 00:45:10,032
Sam.
692
00:45:10,404 --> 00:45:12,372
- Sam.
- Yes.
693
00:45:12,473 --> 00:45:15,931
Sam, do you think
you need medical care?
694
00:45:16,043 --> 00:45:17,908
Medical, not mental.
695
00:45:18,011 --> 00:45:20,309
Do you have health problems?
696
00:45:20,414 --> 00:45:22,143
I'm sick. I have headaches.
697
00:45:22,249 --> 00:45:23,978
Headaches?
698
00:45:24,084 --> 00:45:25,415
I have headaches, too,
699
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:28,215
but a chiropractor stopped them
a week ago.
700
00:45:28,322 --> 00:45:30,119
I think I can help you, Sam.
701
00:45:32,559 --> 00:45:33,821
Sam?
702
00:45:35,762 --> 00:45:38,230
He knows they're tracing his calls.
703
00:45:41,902 --> 00:45:45,929
Sam, we'd like you to know
that we are not tracing these calls.
704
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:50,271
It's a long, difficult process
and ineffective with these short calls.
705
00:45:55,782 --> 00:45:56,840
Sam?
706
00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:02,213
We're not tracing these calls.
You have my word.
707
00:46:03,123 --> 00:46:04,283
Okay.
708
00:46:04,791 --> 00:46:08,056
Sam, you need to tell me
what your problem is.
709
00:46:08,161 --> 00:46:10,026
I don't want to go to the gas chamber.
710
00:46:10,130 --> 00:46:12,621
I have headaches.
I kill, I don't get them.
711
00:46:12,733 --> 00:46:14,064
That is fucked up!
712
00:46:14,167 --> 00:46:17,625
You want to live, don't you?
Well, this is your passport.
713
00:46:17,738 --> 00:46:19,535
How long have you been
having these headaches?
714
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,437
Since I killed a kid.
715
00:46:22,843 --> 00:46:24,208
I don't want to be hurt.
716
00:46:24,311 --> 00:46:26,541
- Why is he calling?
- Hey, just a second, buddy.
717
00:46:26,647 --> 00:46:28,308
You won't get hurt if you talk to me.
718
00:46:28,415 --> 00:46:31,407
And you're not going
to the gas chamber.
719
00:46:31,518 --> 00:46:34,180
I wouldn't think they would ask
for capital punishment.
720
00:46:34,288 --> 00:46:36,153
We should ask the District Attorney.
721
00:46:36,256 --> 00:46:38,315
Do you want me to do that, Sam?
722
00:46:38,425 --> 00:46:41,121
Do you want me to talk
to the District Attorney?
723
00:46:44,998 --> 00:46:46,727
What was that, Sam?
724
00:46:47,734 --> 00:46:49,827
I did not say anything.
725
00:46:49,937 --> 00:46:51,837
We heard a scream.
726
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:54,766
That was my headache.
727
00:46:55,576 --> 00:46:58,545
You sound like you're in
a great deal of pain.
728
00:46:59,313 --> 00:47:02,339
My head aches. I'm so sick.
729
00:47:04,217 --> 00:47:05,707
I'm gonna kill them.
730
00:47:05,819 --> 00:47:08,652
- Oh, okay.
- I'm gonna kill those kids!
731
00:47:08,755 --> 00:47:10,347
Fantastic.
732
00:47:12,926 --> 00:47:14,325
Sam?
733
00:47:15,862 --> 00:47:20,094
- Let's meet and talk. Just us.
- Okay.
734
00:47:20,233 --> 00:47:22,895
How about Old St. Mary's Church
in Chinatown?
735
00:47:23,003 --> 00:47:24,300
No.
736
00:47:24,404 --> 00:47:28,272
In front of the Daly City
St. Vincent de Paul at 10:30.
737
00:47:28,375 --> 00:47:30,104
I'll see you there.
738
00:47:31,878 --> 00:47:33,812
Take care of yourself, Sam.
739
00:47:58,005 --> 00:47:59,336
My, my, my.
740
00:47:59,439 --> 00:48:02,636
You fellows certainly know
how to put on a secret meeting.
741
00:48:07,114 --> 00:48:09,947
I don't want to go to the gas chamber.
I have headaches.
742
00:48:10,050 --> 00:48:12,075
I kill, I don't get them.
743
00:48:12,185 --> 00:48:13,812
No, it's not him.
744
00:48:14,888 --> 00:48:18,016
It's the voice.
The voice is too high. It's too young.
745
00:48:18,125 --> 00:48:20,821
All right.
Thanks for coming down, Bryan.
746
00:48:21,828 --> 00:48:23,659
That's okay. I got it.
747
00:48:29,870 --> 00:48:31,098
They pulled off the trace.
748
00:48:31,204 --> 00:48:34,264
Our Daly City no-show
called from a mental institution.
749
00:48:34,374 --> 00:48:36,239
Oakland PD's operator is sure
750
00:48:36,343 --> 00:48:38,811
the man she talked to
had a deeper voice.
751
00:48:38,912 --> 00:48:40,072
Calmer.
752
00:48:40,914 --> 00:48:43,075
Might have actually been him.
753
00:48:49,322 --> 00:48:52,257
"So I shall change
my way of collecting slaves.
754
00:48:52,659 --> 00:48:56,095
"I shall no longer announce to anyone
when I commit my murders.
755
00:48:56,196 --> 00:48:59,393
"They shall look like routine robberies,
killings of anger
756
00:48:59,499 --> 00:49:02,468
"and a few fake accidents, et cetera.
757
00:49:02,569 --> 00:49:03,901
"The police shall never catch me
758
00:49:04,004 --> 00:49:06,336
"because I have been
too clever for them.
759
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,876
"I look like the description passed out
only when I do my thing.
760
00:49:09,976 --> 00:49:13,104
"The rest of the time
I look entirely different.
761
00:49:13,213 --> 00:49:18,014
"I shall not tell you what
my disguise consists of when I kill.
762
00:49:18,118 --> 00:49:20,643
"As of yet I have left no
fingerprints behind me,
763
00:49:20,754 --> 00:49:23,245
"contrary to what the police say.
764
00:49:23,356 --> 00:49:25,722
"I wear transparent fingertips.
765
00:49:26,693 --> 00:49:31,426
"All it is is two coats of airplane cement
coated on my fingertips.
766
00:49:31,531 --> 00:49:35,991
"I enjoy needling the blue pigs.
Hey, blue pig, I was in the park.
767
00:49:36,103 --> 00:49:41,564
"You were using fire trucks to mask
the sound of your cruising prowl cars.
768
00:49:41,675 --> 00:49:43,108
"Hey, pig, doesn't it rile you up
769
00:49:43,210 --> 00:49:46,304
"to have your nose
rubbed in your booboos?
770
00:49:46,413 --> 00:49:49,473
"If you cops think I am going to take
on a bus the way I stated I was,
771
00:49:49,583 --> 00:49:52,780
"you deserve to have holes
in your heads. "
772
00:49:54,755 --> 00:49:56,916
And you need to look at this.
773
00:49:59,793 --> 00:50:02,159
"Take one bag of
ammonium nitrate fertilizer,
774
00:50:02,262 --> 00:50:03,923
"one gallon of stove oil,
775
00:50:04,030 --> 00:50:06,157
"and dump a few bags
of gravel on top... "
776
00:50:06,266 --> 00:50:07,995
- Okay.
- It's a bomb.
777
00:50:08,101 --> 00:50:09,864
Okay. We gotta call the Army
and see if this
778
00:50:09,970 --> 00:50:12,700
science experiment could actually work.
779
00:50:12,806 --> 00:50:14,330
Another cipher.
780
00:50:16,576 --> 00:50:19,238
- When did these arrive?
- They arrived this morning.
781
00:50:19,346 --> 00:50:20,745
Are you planning to publish?
782
00:50:20,847 --> 00:50:22,041
Robert.
783
00:50:23,550 --> 00:50:25,347
We should have a drink.
784
00:50:29,389 --> 00:50:30,754
Thank you.
785
00:50:32,859 --> 00:50:35,089
So, tell me about yourself.
786
00:50:35,195 --> 00:50:38,323
- You married?
- Divorced. Two kids.
787
00:50:39,733 --> 00:50:41,598
What do you do for fun?
788
00:50:43,136 --> 00:50:44,763
I love to read.
789
00:50:45,705 --> 00:50:48,173
- I enjoy books.
- Those are the same things.
790
00:50:48,275 --> 00:50:50,766
Why you been going through my trash?
791
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,345
I'll come back to that.
792
00:50:56,049 --> 00:50:57,710
How did you know
he was gonna send another code?
793
00:50:57,818 --> 00:50:59,547
I just guessed.
794
00:50:59,653 --> 00:51:01,814
- Just guessed.
- The first one seemed too easy.
795
00:51:01,922 --> 00:51:04,254
All right, this can no longer be ignored.
796
00:51:04,357 --> 00:51:07,952
- What is that you're drinking?
- It's an Aqua Velva.
797
00:51:08,061 --> 00:51:10,962
You wouldn't make fun of it
if you tried it.
798
00:51:20,407 --> 00:51:22,807
But who actually cracked the code?
799
00:51:23,677 --> 00:51:25,907
A married couple who like puzzles.
800
00:51:26,012 --> 00:51:28,173
So what's that tell us about the Zodiac?
801
00:51:28,281 --> 00:51:29,578
- He's no expert.
- Right.
802
00:51:29,683 --> 00:51:31,344
It's just a simple substitution code
803
00:51:31,451 --> 00:51:33,646
like the one that
we used to do as boy scouts.
804
00:51:33,753 --> 00:51:35,277
"A" is one, "B" is two.
805
00:51:35,388 --> 00:51:36,821
We weren't all boy scouts, Robert.
806
00:51:36,923 --> 00:51:40,450
Well, it's not that hard.
You just got to know where to start.
807
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,323
In the first cipher...
808
00:51:42,429 --> 00:51:43,657
You actually carry that around with you?
809
00:51:43,763 --> 00:51:45,458
- Why?
- No reason.
810
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,036
What's the most common double
consonant in the English language?
811
00:51:50,136 --> 00:51:51,228
Consonant?
812
00:51:51,338 --> 00:51:52,635
- The double "L."
- Double "L."
813
00:51:52,739 --> 00:51:56,573
And what's the one word that we know
that he'll use in here, at least once?
814
00:51:56,676 --> 00:51:57,904
- "Kill. "
- Right, "kill. "
815
00:51:58,011 --> 00:51:59,308
So the Hardens start looking
for double symbols,
816
00:51:59,412 --> 00:52:01,380
which they find here, here, and here.
817
00:52:01,481 --> 00:52:03,915
Each with the same
two symbols preceding them.
818
00:52:04,017 --> 00:52:05,951
So now they've got
a repeating four-letter word
819
00:52:06,052 --> 00:52:08,213
ending with two symbols
that they assume stand for "L."
820
00:52:08,321 --> 00:52:09,948
And since they think the whole word
is "kill" then...
821
00:52:10,056 --> 00:52:12,957
Then you got your "K," you got your "I,"
and you're on your way.
822
00:52:13,059 --> 00:52:15,050
But how do you go
from "A" is one and "B" is two
823
00:52:15,161 --> 00:52:16,526
to figuring out this whole code?
824
00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:19,497
Well, same way I did.
You go to the library.
825
00:52:22,836 --> 00:52:24,770
In this book,
826
00:52:24,871 --> 00:52:28,932
the author presents a very simple
substitution code in the preface.
827
00:52:29,042 --> 00:52:31,840
Eight of the 26 symbols that
he suggests are found in this cipher.
828
00:52:31,945 --> 00:52:33,503
Yeah, but there are non-letter symbols
829
00:52:33,613 --> 00:52:34,841
because there's all
these medieval ones.
830
00:52:34,948 --> 00:52:36,609
I thought they looked medieval, too.
831
00:52:38,285 --> 00:52:40,185
But then I found a code
written in the Middle Ages.
832
00:52:40,287 --> 00:52:41,311
Guess what it's called?
833
00:52:42,289 --> 00:52:44,052
The Zodiac Alphabet.
834
00:52:45,859 --> 00:52:47,053
Jesus.
835
00:52:48,094 --> 00:52:49,652
What do you want out of this?
836
00:52:49,763 --> 00:52:51,253
- What?
- What's your angle?
837
00:52:51,364 --> 00:52:53,958
This is good business
for everyone but you.
838
00:52:57,337 --> 00:52:59,271
How do you mean "business"?
839
00:53:02,175 --> 00:53:04,541
Hey. Come to bed.
840
00:53:04,644 --> 00:53:07,909
I'll be up in a minute.
I need to make a phone call.
841
00:53:19,526 --> 00:53:21,187
- Hello?
- Bill?
842
00:53:22,195 --> 00:53:23,787
There's not many basements
in California.
843
00:53:24,531 --> 00:53:26,692
"Basement for future use. "
844
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,290
That's right.
845
00:53:28,401 --> 00:53:32,030
I'll have Vallejo and Napa
check with their city planners.
846
00:53:32,138 --> 00:53:34,333
- Get some sleep.
- Yeah, sure.
847
00:53:47,287 --> 00:53:50,120
"Dear Melvin,
this is the Zodiac speaking.
848
00:53:50,223 --> 00:53:52,384
"I wish you a happy Christmas.
849
00:53:52,492 --> 00:53:55,928
"The one thing I ask of you is this.
Please help me.
850
00:53:56,029 --> 00:53:59,430
"I cannot reach out for help
because this thing in me won't let me. "
851
00:53:59,532 --> 00:54:00,863
Thank you.
852
00:54:00,967 --> 00:54:04,061
"I am finding it extremely difficult
to hold it in check
853
00:54:04,170 --> 00:54:06,900
"and I am afraid I will lose control again
854
00:54:07,007 --> 00:54:09,805
"and take my ninth
and possibly tenth victim. "
855
00:54:09,909 --> 00:54:12,207
Melvin, he's reaching out to you.
856
00:54:12,312 --> 00:54:13,643
Absolutely.
857
00:54:13,747 --> 00:54:17,274
Inspectors, he sent this letter
directly to my residence.
858
00:54:17,384 --> 00:54:20,410
It is a cry for help,
intended as a private communiqu�.
859
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,647
Which is why
you contacted the Chronicle.
860
00:54:22,756 --> 00:54:25,748
The people have a right to know.
Toddy?
861
00:54:25,859 --> 00:54:29,158
- When did the letter arrive?
- In the middle of last week.
862
00:54:29,262 --> 00:54:31,162
It is my belief
that he only penned this letter
863
00:54:31,264 --> 00:54:34,290
because he couldn't get through to me
on the Dunbar show or here.
864
00:54:34,401 --> 00:54:36,926
- He tried to contact you here?
- Several times.
865
00:54:37,037 --> 00:54:39,164
I was out,
but he spoke with my housekeeper.
866
00:54:39,272 --> 00:54:40,466
Didn't leave a number.
867
00:54:40,573 --> 00:54:42,973
He's kind of crafty like that.
Do you mind if I speak to her?
868
00:54:43,076 --> 00:54:46,170
Not at all. But the real story is the letter.
869
00:54:46,279 --> 00:54:48,076
- I'll be back.
- Yeah.
870
00:54:48,181 --> 00:54:49,580
She's right this way.
871
00:54:49,682 --> 00:54:55,018
Inspector Toschi, it is my belief
this is a window into this man's soul.
872
00:54:55,121 --> 00:54:56,816
Killing is his compulsion.
873
00:54:56,923 --> 00:54:59,517
Even though he tries to ignore it,
it drives him.
874
00:54:59,626 --> 00:55:00,650
It's in his blood.
875
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,820
Could be.
Or maybe he just likes the attention.
876
00:55:47,674 --> 00:55:53,112
I didn't mean to scare you,
but your right rear wheel is loose.
877
00:55:53,213 --> 00:55:54,441
Really?
878
00:55:54,547 --> 00:55:57,675
If you like,
I could tighten the lugs up for you.
879
00:56:00,286 --> 00:56:01,412
If you don't mind.
880
00:56:01,521 --> 00:56:03,989
Well, you can't be too careful.
881
00:56:38,424 --> 00:56:40,824
- All done.
- Thank you.
882
00:56:40,927 --> 00:56:43,157
No problem. Have a good night.
883
00:56:48,034 --> 00:56:49,331
It's okay.
884
00:57:43,690 --> 00:57:45,317
Are you okay?
885
00:57:46,926 --> 00:57:49,588
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.
886
00:57:50,430 --> 00:57:52,864
Must have been worse than I thought.
887
00:57:52,966 --> 00:57:55,833
I can give you a lift to a service station.
888
00:57:57,971 --> 00:57:59,063
Okay.
889
00:58:05,345 --> 00:58:07,370
It's okay. Come on.
890
00:58:15,255 --> 00:58:17,416
I didn't know you had a baby.
891
00:58:19,092 --> 00:58:20,753
Oh, is that okay?
892
00:58:22,295 --> 00:58:24,092
The more the merrier.
893
00:58:33,806 --> 00:58:36,434
You shouldn't smoke. It's a bad habit.
894
00:58:42,815 --> 00:58:46,444
- I think we just passed a filling station.
- It was closed.
895
00:58:51,924 --> 00:58:54,984
Do you always go around
helping people in the night?
896
00:58:55,094 --> 00:58:58,359
When I'm done with them,
they don't need much help.
897
00:59:00,667 --> 00:59:02,464
It's okay.
898
00:59:03,102 --> 00:59:05,093
Before I kill you,
899
00:59:05,204 --> 00:59:07,798
I'm gonna throw your baby
out the window.
900
00:59:22,155 --> 00:59:24,817
No! Help! Please! No!
901
00:59:31,664 --> 00:59:34,565
She was on the side of the road.
She flagged me down.
902
00:59:34,667 --> 00:59:36,294
- What happened to her?
- She said she jumped from a car.
903
00:59:36,402 --> 00:59:38,233
I found her like this.
904
00:59:38,338 --> 00:59:41,239
- What is it?
- Please, he said...
905
00:59:41,341 --> 00:59:44,174
- It'll be okay.
- Tried to kill me.
906
00:59:44,277 --> 00:59:45,767
My baby!
907
00:59:45,878 --> 00:59:49,279
- Where's her baby?
- She didn't have one when I stopped.
908
00:59:49,382 --> 00:59:51,009
Where's your baby?
909
00:59:57,523 --> 00:59:58,717
Jesus.
910
01:00:06,432 --> 01:00:08,866
- You hid it?
- In case he came back.
911
01:00:23,783 --> 01:00:25,273
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
912
01:00:25,885 --> 01:00:28,752
"By the way, have you cracked
the last cipher I sent you?
913
01:00:29,122 --> 01:00:32,853
"I'm mildly curious as to how much
money you have on my head now.
914
01:00:32,959 --> 01:00:36,690
"I hope you do not think I was the one
who wiped out that blue meanie
915
01:00:36,796 --> 01:00:38,821
"with a bomb at the cop station,
916
01:00:38,931 --> 01:00:41,399
"even though I talked about
killing children with one. "
917
01:00:41,501 --> 01:00:42,934
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
918
01:00:43,035 --> 01:00:46,300
"I'd like to see some nice Zodiac
buttons wandering around town.
919
01:00:47,106 --> 01:00:48,596
"Everyone else has these buttons
920
01:00:48,708 --> 01:00:52,303
"like peace, black power,
and Melvin eats blubber, et cetera.
921
01:00:52,412 --> 01:00:53,743
"It would cheer me up considerably
922
01:00:53,846 --> 01:00:55,905
"if I saw a lot of people
wearing my button.
923
01:00:56,416 --> 01:00:58,884
- "Please no nasty ones. "
- "This is the Zodiac speaking.
924
01:00:59,118 --> 01:01:02,019
"I shot a man
sitting in a parked car with a. 38.

01:01:02,121 --> 01:01:05,386
"Zodiac 12, SFPD zero. "
926
01:01:05,491 --> 01:01:08,858
"The map coupled with this code
will tell you where the bomb is set.
927
01:01:08,961 --> 01:01:11,657
"You have until next fall to dig it up. "
928
01:01:14,167 --> 01:01:15,634
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
929
01:01:15,735 --> 01:01:17,396
"I'm rather unhappy because you people

01:01:17,503 --> 01:01:19,095
"will not wear
some nice Zodiac buttons.
931
01:01:19,205 --> 01:01:21,605
"So, I now have a little list,
starting with the woman and her baby
932
01:01:21,707 --> 01:01:23,504
"that I gave a rather interesting ride
933
01:01:23,609 --> 01:01:25,770
"for a couple of hours one evening,
a few months back,
934
01:01:25,878 --> 01:01:28,108
"that ended in my burning her car
where I found them. "
935
01:01:28,214 --> 01:01:30,409
We're really not gonna run
any more of his letters?
936
01:01:30,516 --> 01:01:33,007
The new policy. Our brothers in blue
want us to hold back
937
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:34,746
and see how he reacts.
938
01:01:34,854 --> 01:01:36,947
Four letters in three months,
939
01:01:37,056 --> 01:01:39,991
and this is the first mention
of Kathleen Johns. That's very weird.
940
01:01:40,092 --> 01:01:43,391
That's because he's full of shit.
941
01:01:44,764 --> 01:01:46,391
What do you mean?
942
01:01:47,567 --> 01:01:49,091
You don't know?
943
01:01:50,536 --> 01:01:55,303
Welcome. Please put your stuff down.
You're going down five rows and left.
944
01:01:55,408 --> 01:01:58,002
Looking for the Modesto Bee
from March.
945
01:01:58,110 --> 01:02:01,136
I'm going to stand here
and attempt not to vomit.
946
01:02:01,247 --> 01:02:03,215
- Left.
- Left.
947
01:02:04,250 --> 01:02:06,741
- What am I looking for?
- Kathleen Johns.
948
01:02:06,853 --> 01:02:08,184
Also probably you wanna
pull the Chron from...
949
01:02:08,287 --> 01:02:11,415
You know, never mind. I'll see to that.
950
01:02:12,291 --> 01:02:14,816
Okay, look at this letter again.
The part about Kathleen Johns.
951
01:02:14,927 --> 01:02:16,792
Tell me what facts he gives.
952
01:02:16,896 --> 01:02:20,059
- A woman and her baby abducted.
- Fact.
953
01:02:22,268 --> 01:02:24,429
- The car on fire.
- Okay, now,
954
01:02:25,705 --> 01:02:28,105
look at the article from the Bee.
955
01:02:29,008 --> 01:02:30,566
Seen it yet?
956
01:02:30,676 --> 01:02:32,576
Everything in the letter
already appeared in the article.
957
01:02:32,678 --> 01:02:34,612
And he's done it before.
958
01:02:35,815 --> 01:02:38,443
Officer Richard Radetich,
shot sitting in his car.
959
01:02:38,551 --> 01:02:40,712
Zodiac claimed that he shot someone
in their car.
960
01:02:40,820 --> 01:02:44,085
Couple days after this article came out.
961
01:02:44,290 --> 01:02:46,053
The police already had somebody
in custody.
962
01:02:46,192 --> 01:02:48,752
Zodiac didn't do it,
but took credit for it anyway
963
01:02:48,861 --> 01:02:51,159
because he's in it for the press.
964
01:02:51,264 --> 01:02:52,629
He even stole his symbol.
965
01:02:52,732 --> 01:02:54,996
- What?
- Yeah. Shit.
966
01:02:55,101 --> 01:02:56,762
If I show you something,
you promise not to tell anyone?
967
01:02:56,869 --> 01:03:00,134
- Who would I tell?
- Okay. Totally solid point. Okay.
968
01:03:07,980 --> 01:03:09,675
That's the only place
that word and that symbol
969
01:03:09,782 --> 01:03:10,997
ever appeared together
before the letters.
970
01:03:11,032 --> 01:03:12,212
Ever appeared together
before the letters.
971
01:03:12,318 --> 01:03:13,808
The guy stole his logo off a watch.
972
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,251
How can somebody
who's killed 13 people do...
973
01:03:15,354 --> 01:03:16,582
He claims he's killed 13 people,
974
01:03:16,689 --> 01:03:18,384
but which ones
can we actually confirm?
975
01:03:18,491 --> 01:03:22,518
There's three in Vallejo,
one in Berryessa, the cabbie. That's it.
976
01:03:23,963 --> 01:03:26,454
Bobby, you almost look disappointed.
977
01:03:27,366 --> 01:03:29,834
Chief's pulling everybody off buses.
978
01:03:30,469 --> 01:03:32,027
Business as usual.
979
01:03:32,138 --> 01:03:33,799
Something'll shake loose.
980
01:03:33,906 --> 01:03:36,101
Not a peep in four months.
981
01:03:36,208 --> 01:03:38,642
First he won't shut up and now...
982
01:03:38,744 --> 01:03:41,008
Maybe we drove him underground.
983
01:03:41,681 --> 01:03:43,273
Maybe he's gone.
984
01:03:44,350 --> 01:03:47,376
311 at 582 Haight, cross at Biltmore.
There's a male...
985
01:03:47,486 --> 01:03:49,681
- Happy birthday, Bill.
- Thanks.
986
01:03:59,865 --> 01:04:02,197
Does it ever bother you
that people call you Shorty?
987
01:04:02,301 --> 01:04:04,792
Does it bother you
that people call you a retard?
988
01:04:04,904 --> 01:04:07,702
- Nobody calls me that.
- Right.
989
01:04:07,807 --> 01:04:11,208
As governor,
I pledge to use all my influence
990
01:04:11,510 --> 01:04:15,503
to make sure that Darlene Ferrin's killer
is brought to justice.
991
01:04:16,215 --> 01:04:20,777
I believe some clues were overlooked
in the murder of Darlene Ferrin.
992
01:04:20,886 --> 01:04:22,717
- I believe her murder was premeditated.
- Who is that?
993
01:04:22,822 --> 01:04:25,814
Florence Douglas, mayor of Vallejo.
She's running for governor.
994
01:04:25,925 --> 01:04:28,917
I believe that the police department
either did not have the money, the time
995
01:04:29,028 --> 01:04:30,893
or, yes, the inclination...
996
01:04:30,997 --> 01:04:34,364
Sayonara, police endorsement.
Good work, Flo.
997
01:04:34,467 --> 01:04:37,061
Does anyone ever call me names, or...
998
01:04:38,170 --> 01:04:40,035
You mean like retard?
999
01:04:40,139 --> 01:04:41,367
Yeah.
1000
01:04:42,341 --> 01:04:43,399
No.
1001
01:04:47,713 --> 01:04:51,740
Shit. Fuck. Oh, my God. Jesus.
1002
01:04:55,988 --> 01:04:57,615
Tell me that's not a piece
of bloody shirt!
1003
01:04:57,957 --> 01:04:59,584
Fuck! Holy fucking crap!
1004
01:04:59,692 --> 01:05:02,252
"I feel it in my bones,
you ache to know my name
1005
01:05:02,361 --> 01:05:04,488
"and so I'll clue you in.
1006
01:05:04,597 --> 01:05:07,691
"But then, why spoil the game?
Happy Halloween. "
1007
01:05:09,168 --> 01:05:12,660
Paul, you did call him
a latent homosexual
1008
01:05:12,772 --> 01:05:14,364
in at least one of your articles.
1009
01:05:14,473 --> 01:05:16,771
Dave. I want a gun.
1010
01:05:19,578 --> 01:05:20,875
A gun?
1011
01:05:25,584 --> 01:05:27,176
You're in Herb Caen.
1012
01:05:27,286 --> 01:05:29,652
"Paul Avery's investigation
has won him the accolade
1013
01:05:29,755 --> 01:05:32,883
"of a message from the Zodiac warning,
'You are doomed. '
1014
01:05:32,992 --> 01:05:36,291
"As a result, several crime newsmen
are wearing lapel buttons reading,
1015
01:05:36,395 --> 01:05:38,488
"'I am not Paul Avery. "'
1016
01:05:38,597 --> 01:05:40,656
You should sell these.
You could do well.
1017
01:05:40,766 --> 01:05:43,428
It's been a windfall, since
they published the threat on my life.
1018
01:05:43,536 --> 01:05:45,231
I got the leads
coming out of the woodwork.
1019
01:05:45,337 --> 01:05:47,737
There's one guy down in Riverside.
1020
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,501
I'm gonna drive down
and see him tonight.
1021
01:05:49,608 --> 01:05:53,305
- You wanna tag along?
- No, I have a date.
1022
01:05:53,979 --> 01:05:56,277
- Really?
- Who is this guy?
1023
01:05:56,382 --> 01:05:59,943
He wishes to remain anonymous.
I wish to remain infamous.
1024
01:06:00,052 --> 01:06:04,352
So we're going to get along great.
1025
01:06:11,063 --> 01:06:13,759
Hi. Good evening. Hi.
I'm looking for a Melanie.
1026
01:06:13,866 --> 01:06:15,731
Yes.
It's the young lady sitting by herself.
1027
01:06:15,835 --> 01:06:17,166
Thank you.
1028
01:06:23,442 --> 01:06:24,841
You must be Melanie.
1029
01:06:24,944 --> 01:06:26,844
- Which would make you Robert.
- It would.
1030
01:06:26,946 --> 01:06:30,143
Glynnis told me lots about you.
1031
01:06:30,249 --> 01:06:31,944
- And you have wine, great.
- I do.
1032
01:06:32,051 --> 01:06:33,951
Great. How late am I?
1033
01:06:35,855 --> 01:06:38,380
Just a few minutes, really.
I just got here myself.
1034
01:06:38,491 --> 01:06:41,551
Traffic's bumper to bumper.
I was at the gun range.
1035
01:06:41,660 --> 01:06:44,720
- Glynnis said you were a cartoonist.
- Oh, yeah.
1036
01:06:44,830 --> 01:06:46,661
Well, what're you doing at a gun range?
1037
01:06:46,766 --> 01:06:48,324
Reading.
1038
01:06:48,434 --> 01:06:51,335
Get some more...
You need some more napkins.
1039
01:06:52,638 --> 01:06:54,833
So, you work with Glynnis.
1040
01:06:54,940 --> 01:06:56,874
- For her, actually.
- For her?
1041
01:06:56,976 --> 01:06:58,603
Oh, well...
1042
01:07:00,479 --> 01:07:02,538
My children are terrified of Glynnis.
1043
01:07:02,648 --> 01:07:03,910
Me, too.
1044
01:07:07,319 --> 01:07:08,445
So, the gun range?
1045
01:07:08,554 --> 01:07:11,523
We're... I'm working on...
Do you know the Zodiac?
1046
01:07:11,624 --> 01:07:12,921
- Yeah.
- I'm working with...
1047
01:07:13,025 --> 01:07:15,493
- Do you know who Paul Avery is?
- Sounds kind of familiar.
1048
01:07:15,594 --> 01:07:17,323
He's the writer
that the Zodiac threatened.
1049
01:07:17,429 --> 01:07:18,896
Oh, yeah, I saw that on TV.
1050
01:07:18,998 --> 01:07:21,865
Well, I work near him
and he's going down tonight
1051
01:07:21,967 --> 01:07:25,130
to track an anonymous tipster
down in Riverside.
1052
01:07:26,305 --> 01:07:28,364
Where is Riverside?
1053
01:07:28,474 --> 01:07:29,941
It's near L.A.
1054
01:07:30,042 --> 01:07:33,637
Oh, wow. I don't think Paul knows
that it's that far away.
1055
01:07:35,848 --> 01:07:37,839
Sounds kind of dangerous.
1056
01:07:39,118 --> 01:07:42,019
Yeah. How do you mean?
1057
01:07:42,121 --> 01:07:44,521
Well, you said it was
an anonymous tip, right?
1058
01:07:44,623 --> 01:07:46,056
Yeah.
1059
01:07:46,158 --> 01:07:49,685
So it could be an ambush.
I mean, it could be the Zodiac.
1060
01:07:51,230 --> 01:07:53,630
Don't you think it's kind of stupid?
1061
01:07:53,732 --> 01:07:56,360
Yeah, yeah. Well, Paul has a gun.
1062
01:08:00,206 --> 01:08:02,674
So, do you know what's good here?
1063
01:08:04,510 --> 01:08:06,637
I've never been here before.
1064
01:08:08,781 --> 01:08:10,749
The pasta, spaghetti?
1065
01:08:12,484 --> 01:08:14,543
Are you ready to order yet?
1066
01:08:15,621 --> 01:08:18,419
Yeah, I'll have the penne vodka.
But could you do it in a cream sauce?
1067
01:08:18,524 --> 01:08:19,821
Of course.
1068
01:08:24,797 --> 01:08:26,992
Maybe give us another minute?
1069
01:08:28,868 --> 01:08:30,802
Do you have any change?
1070
01:08:30,903 --> 01:08:33,064
Oh, wait, no wait, hold on.
1071
01:08:33,172 --> 01:08:34,696
Nope. That's a penny.
1072
01:08:34,807 --> 01:08:36,206
Do you have to make a phone call?
1073
01:08:36,308 --> 01:08:39,766
Yeah, you know,
when you were saying that the Zodiac...
1074
01:08:40,246 --> 01:08:42,043
You know, when you said it
was dangerous, I just thought
1075
01:08:42,147 --> 01:08:44,172
- that it is dangerous, and it's...
- Stupid?
1076
01:08:44,283 --> 01:08:45,580
Stupid. And I just thought
1077
01:08:45,684 --> 01:08:49,677
that I should call his wife
and just see if she's heard from him.
1078
01:08:52,057 --> 01:08:53,490
I have some change.
1079
01:09:12,678 --> 01:09:15,977
Okay. Well, she said
she'd call when she heard from him.
1080
01:09:16,081 --> 01:09:17,514
- Good.
- Yeah.
1081
01:09:18,918 --> 01:09:22,354
Melanie, I should really go home
and wait for the call.
1082
01:09:25,491 --> 01:09:28,949
Is this some sleazy plan
to get me to go home with you?
1083
01:09:29,662 --> 01:09:31,129
What? No.
1084
01:09:33,632 --> 01:09:35,600
I'll get the food to go.
1085
01:09:37,303 --> 01:09:38,429
Hello!
1086
01:09:54,653 --> 01:09:57,486
Hi! I'm supposed
to meet somebody here.
1087
01:10:15,741 --> 01:10:17,140
Anything?
1088
01:10:20,779 --> 01:10:22,041
You don't have to stay.
1089
01:10:22,147 --> 01:10:23,580
Are you kidding?
1090
01:10:23,682 --> 01:10:26,776
This is the most interesting date
I've ever had.
1091
01:10:31,056 --> 01:10:32,148
- Paul?
- Robert?
1092
01:10:32,257 --> 01:10:33,815
- Yes.
- You sitting down?
1093
01:10:33,926 --> 01:10:35,018
Yes.
1094
01:10:35,127 --> 01:10:36,924
You're not gonna believe this.
1095
01:10:37,029 --> 01:10:38,018
Dave!
1096
01:10:38,130 --> 01:10:40,724
In a bizarre twist,
the hunted has become hunter.
1097
01:10:40,833 --> 01:10:44,599
San Francisco Chronicle reporter
and Zodiac target Paul Avery
1098
01:10:44,703 --> 01:10:46,762
claims to have uncovered
new information
1099
01:10:46,872 --> 01:10:51,332
regarding the only unsolved homicide
in Riverside County's history,
1100
01:10:51,443 --> 01:10:54,606
a 1966 Southern California murder,
1101
01:10:54,713 --> 01:10:57,773
that Avery now believes
was the Zodiac's first victim.
1102
01:10:57,883 --> 01:10:58,907
What?
1103
01:10:59,018 --> 01:11:00,246
- He didn't call you about this?
- Hang on!
1104
01:11:00,352 --> 01:11:01,842
The Riverside killer
wrote to the press letters
1105
01:11:01,954 --> 01:11:05,583
that I then took personally to
the Office of Questioned Documents.
1106
01:11:05,691 --> 01:11:07,852
And what did this expert tell you?
1107
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:09,484
What I knew in my gut, Ron.
1108
01:11:09,595 --> 01:11:12,029
The handwriting matches Zodiac's.
1109
01:11:12,131 --> 01:11:14,463
How'd he get the evidence
out of Riverside?
1110
01:11:14,566 --> 01:11:16,761
He took it to Sherwood
without telling us, the son of a bitch.
1111
01:11:16,869 --> 01:11:18,063
You know how bad this looks?
1112
01:11:18,170 --> 01:11:20,365
Hey, how do we know
that this lead is real?
1113
01:11:20,472 --> 01:11:22,736
It's very real. You know how I know?
1114
01:11:22,841 --> 01:11:24,706
Because I saw it on TV.
1115
01:11:31,817 --> 01:11:32,943
Dave.
1116
01:11:33,352 --> 01:11:34,444
Hi.
1117
01:11:34,553 --> 01:11:36,680
Dave, you know Mel Nicolai.
He's working the case for Justice.
1118
01:11:36,789 --> 01:11:37,949
Good to see you, Mel.
1119
01:11:38,057 --> 01:11:39,922
All due respect,
can someone explain to me
1120
01:11:40,025 --> 01:11:41,652
why I'm reading
about breaks in this case
1121
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,591
in the Chronicle instead
of getting calls from you?
1122
01:11:43,695 --> 01:11:44,753
We got screwed.
1123
01:11:44,863 --> 01:11:46,023
Dave, come on.
1124
01:11:46,131 --> 01:11:48,099
You do get your name in the paper a lot.
People talk.
1125
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:51,169
I don't ever talk about an open
investigation, period. Okay, Ken?
1126
01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:53,932
Dave? Hey. Hi.
1127
01:11:54,039 --> 01:11:56,735
Paul Avery. Can I catch a ride
with you gents when we get there?
1128
01:11:56,842 --> 01:11:58,673
Not a good idea, Paul.
1129
01:11:59,344 --> 01:12:02,108
He's gonna make me take a cab
when we're going to the same place.
1130
01:12:02,214 --> 01:12:04,978
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for choosing PSA.
1131
01:12:05,084 --> 01:12:07,177
- Fair enough. Fair enough.
- Please take your seats at this time.
1132
01:12:07,286 --> 01:12:10,187
Remember, smoking is
in the last six aisles only.
1133
01:12:10,289 --> 01:12:11,916
Enjoy your flight.
1134
01:12:15,461 --> 01:12:18,191
Cheri Jo Bates attended
Riverside Community College.
1135
01:12:18,297 --> 01:12:22,563
She studies in the library
the night of October 30th, 1966.
1136
01:12:22,668 --> 01:12:26,104
She leaves with an unidentified male
at closing, 9:00 p. m.
1137
01:12:26,505 --> 01:12:30,271
Her body's found the next morning
in a parking lot, stabbed to death.
1138
01:12:30,843 --> 01:12:33,937
A typewritten confession was sent
to the Riverside Press Enterprise
1139
01:12:34,046 --> 01:12:36,674
on November 29th,
a month after Bates's murder.
1140
01:12:36,782 --> 01:12:38,181
They ran it.
1141
01:12:40,452 --> 01:12:43,148
"I'm not sick. I am insane.
But that will not stop the game.
1142
01:12:43,255 --> 01:12:45,416
"This letter should be published
for all to read. "
1143
01:12:45,524 --> 01:12:46,889
He wants to be published.
He calls it a game.
1144
01:12:46,992 --> 01:12:48,357
I mean, this could be our boy.
1145
01:12:48,460 --> 01:12:51,759
Six months later, the police,
the girl's father, and the paper,
1146
01:12:51,864 --> 01:12:53,798
they all received these.
1147
01:12:58,637 --> 01:13:00,434
Double postage, just like Zodiac.
1148
01:13:02,241 --> 01:13:04,641
These are what Sherwood Morrill
matched to the Zodiac letters?
1149
01:13:05,010 --> 01:13:06,841
These and the desktop. Don.
1150
01:13:07,146 --> 01:13:11,446
This was found a couple of months later
by a janitor in RCC storage.
1151
01:13:20,859 --> 01:13:23,020
Sherwood got
a handwriting match off wood?
1152
01:13:25,130 --> 01:13:26,927
Who etches in their own handwriting?
1153
01:13:27,332 --> 01:13:28,458
To be honest with you,
1154
01:13:28,567 --> 01:13:30,933
our letters and your letters,
I don't see it.
1155
01:13:31,036 --> 01:13:33,596
How did Paul Avery
get his hands on the exemplars?
1156
01:13:33,705 --> 01:13:35,036
I gave them to him.
1157
01:13:35,140 --> 01:13:37,005
We talked on the phone the other day
for about an hour.
1158
01:13:37,109 --> 01:13:38,576
And I told him you were gonna be here.
1159
01:13:38,677 --> 01:13:40,338
- You told him we were meeting?
- Yeah.
1160
01:13:40,445 --> 01:13:42,640
I also told him
we don't think this is Zodiac.
1161
01:13:42,748 --> 01:13:44,807
Okay, wait a minute.
1162
01:13:44,917 --> 01:13:47,977
- You don't think this is Zodiac?
- We got a guy we like for it.
1163
01:13:48,086 --> 01:13:49,644
We don't have enough
to pin it on him yet,
1164
01:13:49,755 --> 01:13:50,983
but we're pretty sure it's him.
1165
01:13:51,089 --> 01:13:53,956
If you don't think this is Zodiac,
then why give anything to Avery?
1166
01:13:54,059 --> 01:13:55,686
I'm trying to cooperate.
1167
01:13:55,794 --> 01:13:58,592
Oh, that's how you cooperate?
By giving information to reporters?
1168
01:13:58,697 --> 01:14:00,221
Look, I don't know
about the handwriting,
1169
01:14:00,332 --> 01:14:01,560
but Sherwood says it's a match, right?
1170
01:14:01,667 --> 01:14:04,067
So, let's just say
that your guy did Cheri Jo.
1171
01:14:04,169 --> 01:14:05,295
He types the confession.
1172
01:14:05,437 --> 01:14:08,531
Zodiac reads it in the paper,
and he writes a letter taking credit for it.
1173
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,164
Now, that's something he's done before.
1174
01:14:10,275 --> 01:14:12,869
Look, now you have everything we have.
1175
01:14:12,978 --> 01:14:16,379
But, in my opinion,
you guys came south for nothing.
1176
01:14:16,481 --> 01:14:18,472
FUBAR, gentlemen, FUBAR.
1177
01:14:18,584 --> 01:14:21,314
I don't care what he says.
This still could be Z.
1178
01:14:21,420 --> 01:14:24,617
The problem is
the entire state already thinks it is.
1179
01:14:24,723 --> 01:14:28,056
Well, there's your press agent.
Talk to him about it.
1180
01:14:30,596 --> 01:14:32,530
I come in peace.
I don't want any trouble.
1181
01:14:32,631 --> 01:14:34,599
I really don't want to talk to you
right now, Paul. Not now.
1182
01:14:34,700 --> 01:14:38,397
- Just trying to do my job.
- Oh, really? Well, now I can't do mine.
1183
01:14:38,503 --> 01:14:40,767
We're already screwed with
the amount of tips we got on this thing,
1184
01:14:40,872 --> 01:14:42,567
and you just freaked out the entire state.
1185
01:14:42,674 --> 01:14:45,973
I have got Napa, Vallejo, and DOJ
looking at me sideways
1186
01:14:46,078 --> 01:14:48,979
and Riverside's telling me
I'm on a snipe hunt!
1187
01:14:49,081 --> 01:14:51,606
Jesus. Hey, Cheri Jo Bates was a gift.
I gave that to you.
1188
01:14:51,717 --> 01:14:53,378
You and Armstrong
never would have found her.
1189
01:14:53,485 --> 01:14:55,646
This may not be Zodiac.
Does that matter to you?
1190
01:14:55,754 --> 01:14:57,187
- What if it is?
- Does it matter that Riverside may not
1191
01:14:57,289 --> 01:14:59,257
be able to make a case
against their suspect because of you?
1192
01:14:59,358 --> 01:15:01,258
Tell it to Sherwood.
I'm out here, beating the bushes,
1193
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:02,918
trying to draw him out.
We're in this together.
1194
01:15:03,028 --> 01:15:04,393
No, we're not in anything together, Paul,
1195
01:15:04,496 --> 01:15:06,361
because I'm not interested
in upping my circulation.
1196
01:15:06,465 --> 01:15:09,332
Oh, boy. He wrote me.
He threatened my life.
1197
01:15:09,434 --> 01:15:11,026
Hey, Bullitt!
1198
01:15:11,136 --> 01:15:14,628
Been a year-and-a-half,
you gonna catch this fucking guy or not?
1199
01:15:17,242 --> 01:15:19,608
- Go fuck yourself.
- Happily.
1200
01:15:19,711 --> 01:15:21,702
You should have called me, Paul.
1201
01:15:27,286 --> 01:15:28,480
Thank you.
1202
01:15:41,533 --> 01:15:43,501
- Did you see this?
- Unfortunately, yes.
1203
01:15:43,602 --> 01:15:46,264
Here comes every lunatic in California.
1204
01:15:47,139 --> 01:15:48,436
I'm the Zodiac.
1205
01:15:48,540 --> 01:15:50,098
And how did you kill your victims?
1206
01:15:50,208 --> 01:15:52,836
With a gun. No, with a hammer.
1207
01:15:52,944 --> 01:15:54,241
All I'm authorized to tell you
1208
01:15:54,346 --> 01:15:55,904
is that he's still under
government employment.
1209
01:15:56,014 --> 01:15:59,074
- And who authorized you to tell me this?
- That's all I'm authorized to say.
1210
01:15:59,184 --> 01:16:01,379
Only a little rat bastard like Andre
1211
01:16:01,486 --> 01:16:03,977
could have done something
like cut off all the victims' hands.
1212
01:16:04,089 --> 01:16:06,455
Zodiac didn't cut off
any of the victims' hands.
1213
01:16:06,558 --> 01:16:08,287
- Are you sure?
- Yes, sir.
1214
01:16:08,393 --> 01:16:10,918
Travis and I worked here
side by side for 10 years.
1215
01:16:11,029 --> 01:16:15,090
His foot gets crushed in an accident
and the killings begin.
1216
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:16,690
- Coincidence?
- I don't know.
1217
01:16:16,802 --> 01:16:18,667
You're a cop, man. Do the math.
1218
01:16:23,075 --> 01:16:26,306
Have you considered
the killer might be Paul Avery?
1219
01:16:26,411 --> 01:16:27,673
Frequently.
1220
01:16:28,246 --> 01:16:29,543
He was drinking Coors,
getting a load on.
1221
01:16:30,115 --> 01:16:33,209
Starts talking about hunting people.
Like that book.
1222
01:16:33,852 --> 01:16:36,013
Says how you can put a light
at the end of a gun
1223
01:16:36,121 --> 01:16:37,645
to use as a sight in the dark.
1224
01:16:37,756 --> 01:16:39,519
- He said that?
- Yeah.
1225
01:16:40,492 --> 01:16:42,517
So I asked him,
"How would you get away with it?"
1226
01:16:42,994 --> 01:16:44,484
And he said, "It would be easy
1227
01:16:44,596 --> 01:16:47,030
"'cause there'd be no real motive
to the thing. "
1228
01:16:47,132 --> 01:16:48,997
Then he said he'd write letters
to the police
1229
01:16:49,101 --> 01:16:50,898
and call himself Zodiac
to mess with them.
1230
01:16:51,002 --> 01:16:52,594
Leigh liked messing with people.
1231
01:16:52,704 --> 01:16:55,696
- You're positive he said "Zodiac"?
- Yeah.
1232
01:16:55,807 --> 01:16:58,901
I thought it was a stupid name.
So I told him.
1233
01:16:59,010 --> 01:17:02,446
He got up all upset and said,
"I don't care what you think.
1234
01:17:02,547 --> 01:17:03,862
"I've thought about it a long time
and that's the name I'm gonna use. "
1235
01:17:03,897 --> 01:17:05,177
"I've thought about it a long time
and that's the name I'm gonna use. "
1236
01:17:05,283 --> 01:17:08,616
Did you feel like he'd been
thinking about it a long time?
1237
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,951
He was raw about losing his job
at the school.
1238
01:17:12,057 --> 01:17:15,049
He talked about shooting out
the tires of a school bus
1239
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,560
and picking off the little darlings.
1240
01:17:17,662 --> 01:17:21,723
- He actually used those words?
- That's what made me remember.
1241
01:17:21,833 --> 01:17:24,267
Afterwards, I told my wife
I didn't wanna see him again.
1242
01:17:24,369 --> 01:17:26,030
And I haven't since.
1243
01:17:26,138 --> 01:17:28,698
Other thing is, Leigh's into skin diving.
1244
01:17:28,807 --> 01:17:30,866
I know he's been up to that lake
a bunch of times.
1245
01:17:30,976 --> 01:17:33,342
Lake Berryessa?
Did you ever go with him?
1246
01:17:33,445 --> 01:17:37,404
Couple times. We went fishing
by Putah Creek near there.
1247
01:17:37,516 --> 01:17:38,983
Tell him when you put it together.
1248
01:17:39,084 --> 01:17:43,783
About a year ago, in the paper,
there was a story about the Zodiac.
1249
01:17:43,889 --> 01:17:46,983
And it all comes back.
I tried to call the local cops.
1250
01:17:47,092 --> 01:17:48,684
They blew him off.
Thought he was a nut.
1251
01:17:48,794 --> 01:17:52,594
And you're sure
the conversation you had about Zodiac
1252
01:17:52,697 --> 01:17:56,463
took place on January 1st, 1968?
1253
01:17:56,568 --> 01:17:58,297
It couldn't have been any later.
1254
01:17:58,403 --> 01:18:01,304
I started a new job in L.A.
On January 20th.
1255
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,307
I had to move.
1256
01:18:03,408 --> 01:18:05,876
- This is my problem. This guy...
- Arthur Leigh Allen?
1257
01:18:05,977 --> 01:18:08,571
This guy, Leigh,
just lays out his entire evil plan
1258
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,170
to a fishing buddy on New Year's Day?
1259
01:18:10,282 --> 01:18:13,080
I don't know.
He's angry, he's been drinking,
1260
01:18:13,185 --> 01:18:15,312
been thinking about it for a while.
I can buy that.
1261
01:18:15,420 --> 01:18:17,752
So why didn't Cheney
contact us sooner?
1262
01:18:17,856 --> 01:18:19,289
I checked. He did.
1263
01:18:19,391 --> 01:18:22,383
First recorded contact
with the police department about Allen
1264
01:18:22,494 --> 01:18:25,292
was in Pomona. January 10th, 1970.
1265
01:18:25,397 --> 01:18:26,489
He just got lost in the shuffle.
1266
01:18:26,598 --> 01:18:28,259
Did Cheney have anything
against Allen?
1267
01:18:28,366 --> 01:18:29,663
Did Allen screw his wife or anything?
1268
01:18:29,768 --> 01:18:31,463
We're gonna do
a full background check.
1269
01:18:31,570 --> 01:18:34,232
But I got to tell you, I like this guy.
1270
01:18:35,273 --> 01:18:37,173
So, let's pull
some handwriting samples.
1271
01:18:38,910 --> 01:18:41,811
Hi. I talked to Sherwood.
He got the samples.
1272
01:18:41,913 --> 01:18:43,847
- What are you having?
- BLT.
1273
01:18:46,485 --> 01:18:49,010
So, the check stubs are a wash.
There's not enough handwriting.
1274
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:51,645
The application's got more,
but it doesn't look like Z's,
1275
01:18:51,756 --> 01:18:54,054
so he can't rule him in.
But he can't rule him out, either.
1276
01:18:54,159 --> 01:18:57,026
- Well, that's vague.
- He needs more samples.
1277
01:18:58,096 --> 01:19:00,189
Also, our guy is a pervert.
1278
01:19:01,266 --> 01:19:03,131
When Mel got the application
from Valley Springs,
1279
01:19:03,235 --> 01:19:05,499
they told him that
Allen had been fired for touching kids.
1280
01:19:05,604 --> 01:19:07,731
- Touching?
- Polite euphemism.
1281
01:19:09,407 --> 01:19:12,535
- So what do you want to do?
- Make some phone calls.
1282
01:19:12,644 --> 01:19:15,010
- Are you done with the fries?
- Go ahead.
1283
01:19:15,113 --> 01:19:16,808
Did you and Mr. Cheney have a chance
1284
01:19:16,915 --> 01:19:19,110
to look at the copies
of the Zodiac letters we sent you?
1285
01:19:19,217 --> 01:19:21,913
Yeah.
Some of this stuff is pretty creepy.
1286
01:19:22,020 --> 01:19:25,114
- Yeah, we know that.
- I mean, creepy like Leigh.
1287
01:19:25,490 --> 01:19:27,981
He misspells words like that.
He thinks it's funny.
1288
01:19:28,093 --> 01:19:29,890
What about the handwriting?
1289
01:19:29,995 --> 01:19:32,930
I don't know.
Don't you have experts for that stuff?
1290
01:19:33,031 --> 01:19:36,125
Our man at Questioned Documents
says it's inconclusive.
1291
01:19:36,234 --> 01:19:38,065
Maybe he did it with his other hand.
1292
01:19:38,169 --> 01:19:39,431
The letters are a little too neat
1293
01:19:39,538 --> 01:19:41,938
for someone to have written
with the wrong hand.
1294
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:43,769
But not for Leigh, right.
1295
01:19:43,875 --> 01:19:45,775
- What do you mean?
- He's ambidextrous.
1296
01:19:45,877 --> 01:19:49,278
He can write with either hand.
Didn't you guys know that?
1297
01:19:49,381 --> 01:19:52,179
In everyday life, Allen uses his left hand.
1298
01:19:52,284 --> 01:19:54,718
Job applications,
letters to friends, et cetera.
1299
01:19:54,819 --> 01:19:57,447
But he writes the Zodiac letters
with his right hand
1300
01:19:57,556 --> 01:20:01,322
producing a different handwriting
that he can't be linked to.
1301
01:20:01,793 --> 01:20:03,124
We got to see this guy, Chief.
1302
01:20:03,228 --> 01:20:04,422
- Where is he?
- Vallejo.
1303
01:20:04,529 --> 01:20:07,589
He works at Union Oil in Pinole.
His brother's up there, too.
1304
01:20:07,699 --> 01:20:09,132
See them both.
1305
01:20:09,234 --> 01:20:11,702
Make sure you call Mulanax.
It is his backyard.
1306
01:20:11,803 --> 01:20:14,966
Oh, right, because that
worked so well for us in Riverside.
1307
01:20:15,073 --> 01:20:17,633
Cooperation, that's us, at all costs.
1308
01:20:27,252 --> 01:20:31,279
You can talk to him in here.
Coke machine's busted, by the way.
1309
01:20:32,457 --> 01:20:34,391
I'll go get him for you.
1310
01:20:35,894 --> 01:20:38,021
So how do you guys wanna do this?
1311
01:20:38,129 --> 01:20:41,758
Well, Bill talked to the informants.
He leads, we follow?
1312
01:20:41,866 --> 01:20:43,458
It's okay by me.
1313
01:20:57,382 --> 01:20:59,942
Mr. Allen, I'm Inspector Bill Armstrong.
1314
01:21:00,051 --> 01:21:03,111
This is Inspector Dave Toschi
and Sergeant Jack Mulanax.
1315
01:21:03,221 --> 01:21:07,419
We're investigating the Zodiac murders
in San Francisco and Vallejo.
1316
01:21:07,525 --> 01:21:09,117
Please, sit down.
1317
01:21:18,003 --> 01:21:20,471
The informant notified us
that you made certain statements
1318
01:21:20,572 --> 01:21:23,302
11 months prior
to the first Zodiac murder.
1319
01:21:23,408 --> 01:21:26,343
If they're true,
they're quite incriminating.
1320
01:21:26,444 --> 01:21:28,605
Do you recall
having any such conversation?
1321
01:21:28,713 --> 01:21:30,010
- No.
- Have you ever read
1322
01:21:30,115 --> 01:21:31,878
or heard anything about the Zodiac?
1323
01:21:31,983 --> 01:21:33,211
When it was first in the paper.
1324
01:21:33,318 --> 01:21:35,377
But I didn't follow it
after those first reports.
1325
01:21:35,487 --> 01:21:38,888
- Why not?
- Too morbid. I...
1326
01:21:38,990 --> 01:21:41,788
I told all this to the other officer.
1327
01:21:41,893 --> 01:21:44,361
- Which other officer?
- From Vallejo.
1328
01:21:45,797 --> 01:21:47,230
Do you remember his name?
1329
01:21:47,332 --> 01:21:51,029
No, but it was right after
the murder at the lake.
1330
01:21:51,136 --> 01:21:53,604
And what did you tell this officer?
1331
01:21:55,206 --> 01:21:59,404
I told him that I'd gone to Salt Point
that weekend to skin dive.
1332
01:21:59,511 --> 01:22:02,309
That I was alone
but I met a couple there.
1333
01:22:03,515 --> 01:22:05,642
I have their names at home
if you want them.
1334
01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:07,377
That would be great, Arthur.
1335
01:22:07,485 --> 01:22:09,350
- Leigh.
- What?
1336
01:22:10,255 --> 01:22:12,746
Leigh. Nobody calls me Arthur.
1337
01:22:14,526 --> 01:22:17,927
Also, that day when I came home,
my neighbor saw me.
1338
01:22:18,029 --> 01:22:21,795
It was around 4:00.
But I forgot to tell the other officer that.
1339
01:22:21,900 --> 01:22:24,061
- Neighbor's name?
- Bill White.
1340
01:22:25,904 --> 01:22:27,667
He died a week or so afterwards.
1341
01:22:27,772 --> 01:22:30,741
Heart attack.
So I didn't think to call to follow up.
1342
01:22:33,344 --> 01:22:35,437
The knives I had in my car
with the blood on them,
1343
01:22:35,547 --> 01:22:39,074
that blood came from a chicken
that I killed for dinner.
1344
01:22:41,886 --> 01:22:44,684
- What?
- I had knives in my car that weekend.
1345
01:22:44,789 --> 01:22:49,055
Maybe Bill saw them
and called the other officer on me.
1346
01:22:49,694 --> 01:22:52,390
Well, we'll be checking in on that.
1347
01:22:52,497 --> 01:22:54,294
Well, let me ask you something else.
1348
01:22:54,399 --> 01:22:58,733
Were you ever in Southern California
at any time in 1966?
1349
01:22:59,370 --> 01:23:01,861
- Is this about the Riverside killing?
- Yes.
1350
01:23:03,007 --> 01:23:05,237
Well, I guess I was there
around that time.
1351
01:23:05,343 --> 01:23:08,676
I used to go down there a lot.
I like the auto races.
1352
01:23:13,017 --> 01:23:15,451
Informant says that
you're ambidextrous?
1353
01:23:15,553 --> 01:23:17,487
No, that's untrue.
1354
01:23:17,589 --> 01:23:19,887
You can't write with both hands?
1355
01:23:21,059 --> 01:23:24,119
My teachers tried to make me
when I was a kid, but I couldn't.
1356
01:23:24,229 --> 01:23:26,322
I'm left-handed.
1357
01:23:26,431 --> 01:23:30,595
He also said that you made statements
about killing school children.
1358
01:23:31,302 --> 01:23:32,792
That is...
1359
01:23:32,904 --> 01:23:36,169
That is horrible. That is...
That's a horrible thing to say.
1360
01:23:36,274 --> 01:23:39,607
So, you weren't angry
about being fired from Valley Springs
1361
01:23:39,711 --> 01:23:41,770
for touching your students?
1362
01:23:51,055 --> 01:23:52,750
I'm not the Zodiac.
1363
01:23:53,725 --> 01:23:56,592
And if I was, I certainly wouldn't tell you.
1364
01:23:58,963 --> 01:24:00,760
That's a nice watch.
1365
01:24:02,634 --> 01:24:03,623
Thank you.
1366
01:24:03,735 --> 01:24:05,168
May I see it?
1367
01:24:07,105 --> 01:24:08,538
May I see it?
1368
01:24:20,351 --> 01:24:21,443
Where'd you get it?
1369
01:24:21,853 --> 01:24:23,821
It was a Christmas gift
from my mother two years ago.
1370
01:24:24,489 --> 01:24:26,616
That's very sweet.
1371
01:24:26,724 --> 01:24:29,215
So, tell me something, Arthur.
1372
01:24:29,327 --> 01:24:30,453
You don't remember anyone
1373
01:24:30,562 --> 01:24:34,089
you might have had a conversation with
regarding the Zodiac?
1374
01:24:35,567 --> 01:24:40,971
Maybe Ted Kidder or Phil Tucker
at Vallejo Recreation.
1375
01:24:42,273 --> 01:24:44,104
But I couldn't be positive.
1376
01:24:44,209 --> 01:24:46,074
I used to work there when...
1377
01:24:50,014 --> 01:24:52,073
The Most Dangerous Game.
1378
01:24:53,384 --> 01:24:54,476
What?
1379
01:24:54,586 --> 01:24:57,749
The Most Dangerous Game.
That's why you're here, isn't it?
1380
01:24:57,856 --> 01:24:59,585
It was my favorite book in high school.
1381
01:24:59,691 --> 01:25:03,149
It's about this man who waits for people
to get shipwrecked on this island.
1382
01:25:03,261 --> 01:25:04,660
Because he was
tired of hunting animals,
1383
01:25:04,762 --> 01:25:06,354
he hunted the people for the challenge.
1384
01:25:06,464 --> 01:25:10,594
And man is the most
dangerous animal of all?
1385
01:25:10,702 --> 01:25:13,193
That's the whole point of the story.
1386
01:25:13,905 --> 01:25:15,236
Great book.
1387
01:25:16,474 --> 01:25:19,102
Or, at least, that's what I told Phil.
1388
01:25:24,782 --> 01:25:26,010
May I go?
1389
01:25:29,654 --> 01:25:30,712
Sure.
1390
01:25:35,526 --> 01:25:39,792
- Thanks for your time.
- I'm willing to help in any way possible.
1391
01:25:39,898 --> 01:25:41,957
I look forward to the day
1392
01:25:42,066 --> 01:25:45,524
when police officers
are no longer referred to as pigs.
1393
01:25:46,537 --> 01:25:47,697
Thanks.
1394
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,467
We'll be in touch.
1395
01:26:02,253 --> 01:26:06,121
So does anyone think this suspect
warrants further investigation?
1396
01:26:06,224 --> 01:26:09,489
These are copies of some
of the Zodiac letters that were sent.
1397
01:26:10,228 --> 01:26:13,129
We'd like you to take a look at them.
1398
01:26:13,364 --> 01:26:15,229
You think my brother's the Zodiac.
1399
01:26:15,333 --> 01:26:17,301
Well, we're looking at him.
1400
01:26:17,402 --> 01:26:18,767
Are you going to arrest him?
1401
01:26:18,870 --> 01:26:22,806
Mrs. Allen, we don't arrest people
just because we're interested in them.
1402
01:26:22,907 --> 01:26:24,340
Well, Leigh's always been troubled.
1403
01:26:24,442 --> 01:26:26,637
Is it true about the children?
1404
01:26:27,345 --> 01:26:28,642
Unfortunately.
1405
01:26:28,746 --> 01:26:31,408
We don't see him much anymore
since we found out.
1406
01:26:31,516 --> 01:26:33,484
What are your feelings
about Don Cheney?
1407
01:26:33,584 --> 01:26:35,984
Don Cheney? My old roommate?
1408
01:26:36,087 --> 01:26:38,954
- Was he the one who contacted you?
- That's confidential.
1409
01:26:39,057 --> 01:26:40,581
Well, Don's a very reliable guy.
1410
01:26:40,692 --> 01:26:43,752
If he were to tell you something,
I'd believe it to be true.
1411
01:26:43,861 --> 01:26:45,021
- This one.
- What about it?
1412
01:26:45,129 --> 01:26:47,120
Here, where he spells
"Christmas" with two "S's. "
1413
01:26:47,231 --> 01:26:49,529
We got a Christmas card from Leigh
a couple years ago.
1414
01:26:49,734 --> 01:26:52,430
He spelled it the exact same way.
Christ-mass.
1415
01:26:52,537 --> 01:26:54,971
- Would you still have that?
- I can look for it.
1416
01:26:55,373 --> 01:26:57,466
Thank you. That'd be great.
1417
01:26:58,609 --> 01:27:00,634
Is there anything else
we can do to help?
1418
01:27:00,745 --> 01:27:02,372
The brother said
he would search Leigh's apartment
1419
01:27:02,480 --> 01:27:03,708
next time he went out of town.
1420
01:27:03,815 --> 01:27:06,045
- That gets you around a warrant.
- For the time being.
1421
01:27:06,150 --> 01:27:09,381
If we do find something,
Mulanax will go to the DA in Vallejo,
1422
01:27:09,487 --> 01:27:11,216
and we could search the place properly.
1423
01:27:11,322 --> 01:27:12,789
Now I got a chance to talk to the cop
1424
01:27:12,890 --> 01:27:15,757
who interviewed Leigh Allen
two days after the Berryessa murders.
1425
01:27:15,860 --> 01:27:17,555
Doesn't remember how he got onto him,
1426
01:27:17,662 --> 01:27:20,654
but didn't think he looked like a killer
so he didn't like him for Z.
1427
01:27:20,765 --> 01:27:23,598
- But you do?
- I wish I could've taken the guy in there.
1428
01:27:23,701 --> 01:27:26,636
Take it slow, Dave.
Try and find more stuff for Sherwood.
1429
01:27:26,738 --> 01:27:28,763
A match'll get us farther
on the warrants.
1430
01:27:28,873 --> 01:27:31,967
- Avery's on two.
- Tell him to screw.
1431
01:27:32,076 --> 01:27:36,376
You want me to communicate that
verbatim or can I spice it up a little?
1432
01:27:43,862 --> 01:27:46,194
This suspect is not your Zodiac.
1433
01:27:48,199 --> 01:27:50,827
This sample matches the canceled
checks and the application?
1434
01:27:50,935 --> 01:27:51,924
Perfectly.
1435
01:27:52,037 --> 01:27:55,234
So we've just retested the left hand.
I mean, we know he's ambidextrous.
1436
01:27:55,340 --> 01:27:58,571
In 38 years, I've never seen anyone
that ambidextrous.
1437
01:27:58,676 --> 01:28:01,167
Both hands would have commonalities.
1438
01:28:01,546 --> 01:28:02,808
I'm sorry.
1439
01:28:03,314 --> 01:28:05,043
Just not gonna work.
1440
01:28:06,985 --> 01:28:09,385
- Homicide, Toschi.
- Dave, it's Jack Mulanax.
1441
01:28:09,487 --> 01:28:11,614
Hey. Mulanax. Yeah.
1442
01:28:11,723 --> 01:28:13,122
We struck out with the judge.
1443
01:28:13,224 --> 01:28:14,851
He won't sign off on a warrant
for Allen's house.
1444
01:28:14,959 --> 01:28:16,984
- Why not?
- Said it wasn't enough.
1445
01:28:17,095 --> 01:28:19,427
Now, unless we bring him a handwriting
match or some evidence that...
1446
01:28:19,531 --> 01:28:21,897
How are we gonna get evidence
if we can't toss the house?
1447
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,433
I don't know.
1448
01:28:24,002 --> 01:28:26,903
- I truly am sorry.
- No, no. Thank you, Jack.
1449
01:28:28,807 --> 01:28:29,865
What do you wanna do?
1450
01:28:29,974 --> 01:28:31,305
Don't know what I can do
without Vallejo.
1451
01:28:31,409 --> 01:28:34,242
We need Allen's right hand.
We can't get it without a warrant.
1452
01:28:34,345 --> 01:28:36,438
Are there other guys
you should be looking at?
1453
01:28:36,548 --> 01:28:38,482
Only, what?
1454
01:28:38,583 --> 01:28:40,483
Twenty-three hundred?
1455
01:28:40,585 --> 01:28:41,916
Okay, then.
1456
01:28:45,090 --> 01:28:46,421
Okay, then.
1457
01:29:14,352 --> 01:29:17,014
Paul, you wrote the Justice Department
1458
01:29:17,122 --> 01:29:20,455
asking to be put in charge
of the Zodiac investigation?
1459
01:29:22,494 --> 01:29:24,394
I merely suggested...
1460
01:29:24,496 --> 01:29:25,690
On our letterhead?
1461
01:29:25,797 --> 01:29:27,822
...that those with intimate knowledge
of the case
1462
01:29:27,932 --> 01:29:29,866
create an information clearinghouse
1463
01:29:29,968 --> 01:29:32,095
to promote an exchange
and free flow of ideas.
1464
01:29:32,203 --> 01:29:35,263
- And that you run it.
- Well, who better than me?
1465
01:29:36,341 --> 01:29:37,865
The marked man.
1466
01:29:38,576 --> 01:29:40,544
Paul, if you want to work here,
I need three things.
1467
01:29:40,645 --> 01:29:42,112
One, stop boozing.
1468
01:29:42,213 --> 01:29:45,376
Two, stop doing
whatever else it is you're doing.
1469
01:29:45,483 --> 01:29:48,975
And three, cut this nonsense out.
1470
01:29:49,087 --> 01:29:52,147
Sweetest of Templetons, if at any time
1471
01:29:52,257 --> 01:29:57,456
you feel my excellent work is no longer
in step with this trashy provincial rag,
1472
01:29:57,562 --> 01:29:59,223
I'll more than happily...
1473
01:29:59,330 --> 01:30:02,788
More than happily
decamp for greener pastures.
1474
01:30:02,901 --> 01:30:04,232
Paul, I mean it!
1475
01:30:14,712 --> 01:30:16,577
- Paul?
- Yep.
1476
01:30:16,681 --> 01:30:19,878
- What was that?
- An editorial t�te-�-t�te.
1477
01:30:21,019 --> 01:30:23,146
- Wanna grab a drink?
- It's 10:00 in the morning.
1478
01:30:23,254 --> 01:30:25,051
Late breakfast?
1479
01:30:26,090 --> 01:30:28,183
- Early lunch, or...
- Paul.
1480
01:30:30,695 --> 01:30:32,128
Are you okay?
1481
01:30:32,997 --> 01:30:34,021
No.
1482
01:30:37,468 --> 01:30:39,265
Thank you for asking.
1483
01:30:41,506 --> 01:30:43,633
Shorty! Let's go out for one.
1484
01:30:43,741 --> 01:30:45,732
Paul, where are you going?
1485
01:30:47,812 --> 01:30:50,280
So, you moved off my brother-in-law?
1486
01:30:50,381 --> 01:30:52,406
We couldn't get a warrant.
1487
01:30:53,985 --> 01:30:57,512
Last year we arranged for Leigh
to get help from a social worker.
1488
01:30:57,622 --> 01:30:59,180
He only went twice.
1489
01:30:59,290 --> 01:31:02,259
We saw him recently for
the first time in nine months.
1490
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:05,420
My mother-in-law brought him by
to see the new baby.
1491
01:31:05,530 --> 01:31:08,829
After he left,
I went to see that social worker.
1492
01:31:08,933 --> 01:31:12,266
He couldn't talk about a former patient,
so I just asked him straight out
1493
01:31:12,370 --> 01:31:14,531
if he thought Leigh
was capable of killing people.
1494
01:31:14,639 --> 01:31:17,870
- Because of patient confidentiality...
- The man said yes.
1495
01:31:19,711 --> 01:31:21,872
Why hadn't you seen him
in nine months?
1496
01:31:21,980 --> 01:31:23,880
He's going to school in Santa Rosa.
1497
01:31:23,982 --> 01:31:27,315
- Santa Rosa? Where is he living?
- In his trailer.
1498
01:31:27,418 --> 01:31:29,443
- In Santa Rosa?
- Sonoma County.
1499
01:31:29,554 --> 01:31:31,749
We wouldn't have to go
through the Vallejo DA.
1500
01:31:31,856 --> 01:31:33,346
It's been 11 months
since you talked to this guy,
1501
01:31:33,458 --> 01:31:34,982
and now you wanna search his trailer?
1502
01:31:35,093 --> 01:31:36,856
If we find something, great.
1503
01:31:36,961 --> 01:31:40,124
If not, we get his prints and
handwriting samples from both hands.
1504
01:31:40,231 --> 01:31:42,597
I thought Sherwood shut you down.
1505
01:31:43,334 --> 01:31:45,802
What if I can get a second opinion?
1506
01:31:46,971 --> 01:31:49,201
I don't wanna step on Sherwood's toes.
He trained me at this.
1507
01:31:49,307 --> 01:31:51,832
Terry, all I need to know
is if the suspect is ambidextrous.
1508
01:31:51,943 --> 01:31:55,902
Could he possibly have written
those letters with his other hand?
1509
01:31:57,615 --> 01:31:58,980
Between you and me?
1510
01:31:59,083 --> 01:32:02,519
Because there are differing
schools of thought on this.
1511
01:32:03,721 --> 01:32:08,158
Get the samples of his other hand.
If he's the Zodiac, you'll get a match.
1512
01:32:08,259 --> 01:32:10,819
That's the current thinking,
according to Terry Pascoe.
1513
01:32:10,928 --> 01:32:14,193
Meanwhile, I spoke to a psychologist
who'd be willing to testify
1514
01:32:14,299 --> 01:32:17,268
that someone who undergoes
a personality change like Zodiac
1515
01:32:17,368 --> 01:32:20,303
would manifest it physically,
altering his handwriting.
1516
01:32:20,405 --> 01:32:24,000
Which is why Sherwood couldn't
get a match from Allen's samples.
1517
01:32:24,108 --> 01:32:26,338
We got Terry Pascoe,
this psychology guy,
1518
01:32:26,444 --> 01:32:27,775
coupled with Cheney...
1519
01:32:27,879 --> 01:32:29,346
It could be enough for a warrant.
1520
01:32:29,447 --> 01:32:30,573
Get Cheney on the record.
1521
01:32:30,682 --> 01:32:33,242
"And shoot the kiddies
as they came bouncing out.
1522
01:32:33,351 --> 01:32:36,411
"And that he would call himself Zodiac. "
1523
01:32:37,422 --> 01:32:38,446
Yes.
1524
01:32:38,556 --> 01:32:42,117
And you're willing to swear
to this, under oath, in Superior Court?
1525
01:32:42,226 --> 01:32:43,625
Without any hesitation.
1526
01:32:43,728 --> 01:32:46,458
Thank you very much, Mr. Cheney.
Thank you very much for your time.
1527
01:32:46,564 --> 01:32:47,895
Thank you.
1528
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:52,130
Well, looks like you got your man.
1529
01:33:12,790 --> 01:33:14,052
Mr. Allen?
1530
01:33:14,158 --> 01:33:16,058
This is the
Santa Rosa Police Department.
1531
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,958
We have a warrant
to search your residence.
1532
01:33:30,041 --> 01:33:31,167
Hello?
1533
01:33:39,817 --> 01:33:42,047
I'll check with the neighbors.
1534
01:33:43,488 --> 01:33:44,477
Close the door.
1535
01:33:44,589 --> 01:33:47,615
Close the door,
there's rodents running around.
1536
01:33:59,971 --> 01:34:02,496
Neighbor said he tore out of here
about a half-hour ago.
1537
01:34:02,607 --> 01:34:06,441
- You think somebody tipped him?
- We're not leaving till he comes back.
1538
01:34:12,750 --> 01:34:14,479
I'll check the back.
1539
01:34:27,231 --> 01:34:28,323
Jesus.
1540
01:34:28,433 --> 01:34:30,025
- What?
- Squirrels.
1541
01:34:32,203 --> 01:34:34,137
Piece of work, this guy.
1542
01:34:40,945 --> 01:34:43,745
Not one, but two blue windbreakers.
1543
01:34:43,848 --> 01:34:47,511
- Like the Stine scene?
- We'll have those checked for blood.
1544
01:34:47,952 --> 01:34:50,853
And a pair of black gloves.
1545
01:34:52,123 --> 01:34:55,422
Men's seven,
just like the ones we found in the cab.
1546
01:34:55,526 --> 01:34:58,188
Well, he's got the same size shoes
and gloves as Z.
1547
01:34:58,296 --> 01:35:00,526
Probably just a coincidence.
1548
01:35:00,631 --> 01:35:04,465
Dave, I got a gun.
Check that. Two guns.
1549
01:35:05,937 --> 01:35:09,100
They're both. 22s.
One automatic, one revolver.
1550
01:35:09,207 --> 01:35:10,697
Well, that's interesting.
1551
01:35:10,808 --> 01:35:13,936
Because he happens to have
an M-1 rifle here in the closet.
1552
01:35:14,045 --> 01:35:16,639
For little darlings bouncing off buses.
1553
01:35:17,982 --> 01:35:19,472
Someone's here.
1554
01:35:26,624 --> 01:35:29,024
Hello, Arthur. Remember us?
1555
01:35:51,616 --> 01:35:52,605
No.
1556
01:35:52,717 --> 01:35:53,775
On the handwriting?
1557
01:35:53,885 --> 01:35:57,377
Ballistics, no match.
Prints, no match. Writing, no match.
1558
01:35:57,488 --> 01:35:59,285
On both hands, right?
1559
01:35:59,390 --> 01:36:01,187
Because we got handwriting
from both his hands.
1560
01:36:01,292 --> 01:36:02,623
And neither hand matches.
1561
01:36:02,727 --> 01:36:04,354
Forget Sherwood.
Let's get another opinion.
1562
01:36:04,462 --> 01:36:06,453
Fellas, he's not your guy.
1563
01:36:12,937 --> 01:36:14,131
Damn it.
1564
01:36:21,445 --> 01:36:22,469
Hey.
1565
01:36:23,447 --> 01:36:25,881
What do you want? Time off?
1566
01:36:28,152 --> 01:36:29,278
A hug?
1567
01:36:30,154 --> 01:36:32,179
Do you know what
the worst part of this is?
1568
01:36:32,290 --> 01:36:34,190
I can't tell if I wanted it
to be Allen so bad
1569
01:36:34,292 --> 01:36:37,557
because I actually thought it was him,
or I just want all this to be over.
1570
01:36:37,662 --> 01:36:39,562
It's because you thought it was him.
1571
01:36:39,664 --> 01:36:41,154
And I did, too.
1572
01:36:43,935 --> 01:36:45,368
You know what? Take some time off.
1573
01:36:45,469 --> 01:36:48,768
Spend some time with your wife
and the kids.
1574
01:36:48,873 --> 01:36:51,398
Go to Candlestick. See a movie.
1575
01:36:52,743 --> 01:36:57,510
"To the city of San Francisco,
I will enjoy killing one person every day
1576
01:36:58,149 --> 01:37:00,549
"until you pay me $100,000.
1577
01:37:01,452 --> 01:37:04,148
"If you agree, say so tomorrow morning
1578
01:37:04,889 --> 01:37:08,017
"in the personal column
San Francisco Chronicle,
1579
01:37:08,125 --> 01:37:10,093
"and I will set up meeting.
1580
01:37:10,194 --> 01:37:11,786
"If I do not hear from you,
1581
01:37:11,896 --> 01:37:15,229
"it will be my next pleasure
to kill a Catholic priest or a...
1582
01:37:18,302 --> 01:37:19,633
"... Scorpio. "
1583
01:37:22,139 --> 01:37:23,606
Who's out of their minds?
1584
01:37:23,708 --> 01:37:25,767
I've got to get out of here.
1585
01:37:25,876 --> 01:37:29,141
Where the hell does he expect me
to find $100,000?
1586
01:37:29,246 --> 01:37:31,612
You're not thinking of paying him,
are you, Mr. Mayor?
1587
01:37:31,716 --> 01:37:36,016
The city of San Francisco does not
pay criminals not to commit a crime.
1588
01:37:58,943 --> 01:38:01,411
The killer gets shot in the chest.
1589
01:38:01,512 --> 01:38:03,776
That's how it ends.
1590
01:38:04,248 --> 01:38:05,408
Do I know you?
1591
01:38:05,516 --> 01:38:08,713
I'm Robert Graysmith.
I work at the Chronicle with Paul Avery.
1592
01:38:08,819 --> 01:38:10,377
Dave Toschi. Nice to meet you.
1593
01:38:10,488 --> 01:38:12,979
Dave! That Harry Callahan
did a hell of a job with your case.
1594
01:38:13,090 --> 01:38:15,684
Yeah. No need for due process, right?
1595
01:38:20,031 --> 01:38:22,226
- What do you do at the Chronicle?
- I'm a cartoonist.
1596
01:38:22,333 --> 01:38:23,425
That's nice.
1597
01:38:23,534 --> 01:38:25,434
You're gonna catch him.
1598
01:38:27,104 --> 01:38:29,902
Pal, they're already
making movies about it.
1599
01:39:01,605 --> 01:39:03,766
Hi. We haven't met.
1600
01:39:03,874 --> 01:39:05,705
I'm Robert Graysmith.
1601
01:39:05,810 --> 01:39:07,744
I'm Duffy Jennings.
1602
01:39:07,845 --> 01:39:10,905
- Nice to meet you.
- Good to meet you, man.
1603
01:39:11,015 --> 01:39:12,243
You got a great desk.
1604
01:39:12,349 --> 01:39:14,374
Guy who used to work here
was a great reporter.
1605
01:39:14,485 --> 01:39:15,747
Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sure he was.
1606
01:39:15,853 --> 01:39:18,321
I mean, it's a honor
to leave the Chronicle
1607
01:39:18,422 --> 01:39:21,220
and go work for the Sacramento Bee.
1608
01:39:21,325 --> 01:39:23,486
Dare to dream, right, Robert?
1609
01:39:27,098 --> 01:39:30,033
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
1610
01:39:30,134 --> 01:39:32,227
I'm just right down there
at the Art department
1611
01:39:32,336 --> 01:39:34,804
- if you need anything, Duffy.
- Yeah.
1612
01:39:38,275 --> 01:39:41,005
- You sure you don't want the car, Bill?
- It's your turn.
1613
01:39:41,112 --> 01:39:44,275
You could just drop me off at my place
and take the car.
1614
01:39:44,381 --> 01:39:46,315
You should keep the car.
1615
01:39:47,084 --> 01:39:48,142
Yeah?
1616
01:39:48,619 --> 01:39:50,678
I'm not coming in tomorrow.
1617
01:39:52,656 --> 01:39:54,146
Why? What's up?
1618
01:39:55,326 --> 01:39:56,554
I'm done.
1619
01:39:58,162 --> 01:40:00,096
I put in for a transfer.
1620
01:40:05,970 --> 01:40:07,198
Where?
1621
01:40:07,838 --> 01:40:09,430
Looking at Fraud.
1622
01:40:11,742 --> 01:40:13,801
I can't be on call anymore.
1623
01:40:16,514 --> 01:40:18,778
I wanna see these kids grow up.
1624
01:40:19,984 --> 01:40:22,214
Hey, good for you, Bill.
1625
01:40:24,121 --> 01:40:26,612
- You'll be okay.
- Yeah. I'll be fine.
1626
01:40:28,759 --> 01:40:29,783
Hey,
1627
01:40:30,795 --> 01:40:34,196
I'm not leaving you
holding the bag on anything, am I?
1628
01:40:35,900 --> 01:40:36,924
No.
1629
01:40:39,303 --> 01:40:40,361
Okay.
1630
01:40:41,071 --> 01:40:42,766
Hey, you know what?
1631
01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:47,206
Maybe you'll have a chance
to try your Japanese food, the raw stuff.
1632
01:40:48,546 --> 01:40:49,604
Yeah.
1633
01:41:21,745 --> 01:41:23,440
I'm not Paul Avery.
1634
01:41:26,116 --> 01:41:29,279
The boys need to be tucked in, please,
and the baby needs changing.
1635
01:41:29,386 --> 01:41:31,684
- I'll flip you for it.
- You wish.
1636
01:41:35,159 --> 01:41:37,821
Nobody has more Zodiac crap
than you do.
1637
01:42:22,473 --> 01:42:24,668
- Are you kidding me?
- Hi, Paul.
1638
01:42:26,477 --> 01:42:28,877
- Permission to come aboard.
- It's right there.
1639
01:42:28,979 --> 01:42:31,743
Anyway, you got shoes on.
This is perfect right here.
1640
01:42:31,849 --> 01:42:33,749
- That's the one.
- Okay.
1641
01:42:35,419 --> 01:42:38,286
- See that? Mesmerizing.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1642
01:42:38,389 --> 01:42:41,017
My own kids
would kill me for one of those.
1643
01:42:42,893 --> 01:42:45,123
- How are you?
- Fantastic.
1644
01:42:45,229 --> 01:42:47,356
I mean, admittedly,
1645
01:42:47,464 --> 01:42:49,728
the Bee ain't exactly
the Chron, but fuck it, right?
1646
01:42:49,833 --> 01:42:52,802
Do you want a drink?
I don't have anything blue, but I got...
1647
01:42:52,903 --> 01:42:54,871
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about it.
1648
01:42:54,972 --> 01:42:58,533
It's no bother at all.
Nobody comes by from the old days.
1649
01:42:58,943 --> 01:42:59,967
Cheers.
1650
01:43:00,744 --> 01:43:02,871
To your health and mine.
1651
01:43:04,782 --> 01:43:06,147
Mostly mine.
1652
01:43:11,388 --> 01:43:12,878
So,
1653
01:43:14,992 --> 01:43:16,323
what's new?
1654
01:43:18,362 --> 01:43:20,262
- I've been thinking.
- Yeah.
1655
01:43:20,364 --> 01:43:21,592
Somebody should write a book.
1656
01:43:21,699 --> 01:43:24,634
Somebody should write a fucking book,
that's for sure.
1657
01:43:24,735 --> 01:43:26,862
- About what?
- About Zodiac.
1658
01:43:28,505 --> 01:43:29,904
It's not new.
1659
01:43:30,007 --> 01:43:34,637
I've been thinking that
if you put all the information together,
1660
01:43:34,745 --> 01:43:36,303
maybe you could jog something loose.
1661
01:43:36,413 --> 01:43:38,904
And then I was thinking that
nobody knows the case better than you.
1662
01:43:39,016 --> 01:43:40,040
Yeah. That's true.
1663
01:43:40,150 --> 01:43:43,142
You know all the players,
and you have all the files.
1664
01:43:43,253 --> 01:43:44,550
Lost them.
1665
01:43:44,888 --> 01:43:45,946
You lost them?
1666
01:43:46,056 --> 01:43:49,321
Or I tossed them. I don't know.
I moved onto a boat.
1667
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:51,819
You know that we work
in the daily business, right?
1668
01:43:51,929 --> 01:43:53,191
As in, today.
1669
01:43:53,297 --> 01:43:56,061
What do you think
we were doing back then?
1670
01:43:57,067 --> 01:43:59,194
Do you know that more people die
in the East Bay commute
1671
01:43:59,303 --> 01:44:01,601
every three months
than that idiot ever killed?
1672
01:44:01,705 --> 01:44:02,865
He offed a few citizens,
1673
01:44:02,973 --> 01:44:04,641
he wrote a few letters,
and he faded into a footnote.
1674
01:44:04,676 --> 01:44:06,309
He wrote a few letters,
and he faded into a footnote.
1675
01:44:11,815 --> 01:44:14,807
Not that I haven't been sitting here idly
1676
01:44:14,918 --> 01:44:18,877
waiting for you to drop by
and reinvigorate my sense of purpose.
1677
01:44:21,225 --> 01:44:24,353
It was four years ago. Let it fucking go.
1678
01:44:24,461 --> 01:44:27,157
You're wrong. It was important.
1679
01:44:28,432 --> 01:44:30,923
Then, what did you ever do about it?
1680
01:44:31,802 --> 01:44:33,929
If it was so fucking important,
what did you ever do?
1681
01:44:34,038 --> 01:44:36,871
You hovered over my desk,
you stole from wastebaskets.
1682
01:44:36,974 --> 01:44:38,601
Am I being unkind?
1683
01:44:39,777 --> 01:44:43,042
Oh, that's right, I forgot.
You went to the library.
1684
01:44:45,849 --> 01:44:47,817
I'm sorry I bothered you.
1685
01:45:09,940 --> 01:45:11,965
- Hey, hi.
- Hi.
1686
01:45:12,076 --> 01:45:14,510
- Where you been?
- The library.
1687
01:45:46,176 --> 01:45:47,473
Thank you!
1688
01:46:03,227 --> 01:46:06,594
- Inspector Toschi?
- Yeah? One moment, please.
1689
01:46:10,968 --> 01:46:12,162
- Hi.
- Hi.
1690
01:46:13,470 --> 01:46:15,461
We met at the movies once.
1691
01:46:15,973 --> 01:46:17,338
It must have been magical.
1692
01:46:17,441 --> 01:46:19,170
I'm Robert Graysmith.
I work at the Chronicle.
1693
01:46:19,276 --> 01:46:22,040
I was wondering if I could buy you lunch.
1694
01:46:23,780 --> 01:46:25,441
Sure, why not?
1695
01:46:25,549 --> 01:46:27,915
So, you're a friend of Paul Avery's?
1696
01:46:28,018 --> 01:46:30,418
He's actually the reason I'm here.
1697
01:46:32,156 --> 01:46:34,522
I wanted to ask you about Zodiac.
1698
01:46:34,992 --> 01:46:38,223
Well, I appreciate the interest,
but we don't discuss open cases.
1699
01:46:38,328 --> 01:46:40,853
Oh, well, what's going on with it,
day to day?
1700
01:46:40,964 --> 01:46:42,625
We're actively pursuing all leads.
1701
01:46:42,733 --> 01:46:45,293
And you're the only one on it, right?
1702
01:46:46,470 --> 01:46:47,937
Mr. Graysmith,
1703
01:46:49,072 --> 01:46:51,040
Zodiac hasn't written in three years.
1704
01:46:51,141 --> 01:46:53,871
You know how many murders
we've had in San Francisco since then?
1705
01:46:53,977 --> 01:46:55,467
- No.
- Over 200.
1706
01:46:55,579 --> 01:46:58,878
That's a lot of dead people
and grieving families that need our help.
1707
01:46:58,982 --> 01:47:00,574
So, nobody cares.
1708
01:47:00,717 --> 01:47:03,151
Excuse me? I care.
1709
01:47:05,856 --> 01:47:08,120
Okay. Can I show you something?
1710
01:47:11,028 --> 01:47:14,191
I've been doing research
on the first cipher.
1711
01:47:14,298 --> 01:47:16,061
Everything an amateur
would need to create it
1712
01:47:16,166 --> 01:47:19,135
can be found in these books.
1713
01:47:19,236 --> 01:47:22,569
Now, I started thinking
that if you can track these books,
1714
01:47:22,673 --> 01:47:25,073
then maybe you can track the man.
1715
01:47:25,609 --> 01:47:28,442
So, I remember you thought
that Zodiac was military,
1716
01:47:28,545 --> 01:47:32,208
so I went to every base library
and I got a list of every person
1717
01:47:32,316 --> 01:47:36,252
who's ever checked out these books
and that's when I found this.
1718
01:47:40,991 --> 01:47:43,482
- Missing.
- It means they were stolen.
1719
01:47:44,294 --> 01:47:47,855
So, almost every book on ciphers
was stolen from the Presidio Library?
1720
01:47:47,965 --> 01:47:50,559
And the Oakland Army Terminal Library.
1721
01:47:53,370 --> 01:47:57,807
Somebody didn't want a record
of ever having checked out these books.
1722
01:47:57,908 --> 01:47:59,535
Who are you again?
1723
01:48:01,645 --> 01:48:03,272
I just wanna help.
1724
01:48:06,483 --> 01:48:08,747
I can't allow you to help.
1725
01:48:08,852 --> 01:48:10,615
I can't discuss the case with you.
1726
01:48:10,721 --> 01:48:13,155
I can't give you information,
and I certainly couldn't tell you
1727
01:48:13,257 --> 01:48:15,452
to go see Ken Narlow in Napa.
1728
01:48:16,026 --> 01:48:17,391
N- A-R-L-O-W.
1729
01:48:27,404 --> 01:48:32,068
I'm sorry, Mr. Graysmith,
but we don't cooperate with writers.
1730
01:48:32,175 --> 01:48:34,939
Well, I'm not a writer, I'm a cartoonist.
1731
01:48:35,879 --> 01:48:38,074
- And Dave Toschi sent you?
- Yes.
1732
01:48:38,181 --> 01:48:40,149
- Why?
- Maybe he...
1733
01:48:40,250 --> 01:48:43,048
Maybe he thought
that I could do some good.
1734
01:48:43,787 --> 01:48:47,951
- What are you, some kind of boy scout?
- Eagle Scout, actually, first class.
1735
01:48:48,925 --> 01:48:52,088
Well, if you wanna do this,
don't let me stop you.
1736
01:48:53,230 --> 01:48:55,721
Better start with Vallejo, Jack Mulanax.
1737
01:48:56,300 --> 01:48:58,165
I understand what you're trying to do.
1738
01:48:58,935 --> 01:49:01,130
But this is an open police investigation.
1739
01:49:01,238 --> 01:49:03,331
I'm a friend of Dave Toschi's.
1740
01:49:03,440 --> 01:49:06,705
And he said
that you might be able to help.
1741
01:49:06,810 --> 01:49:09,711
I mean, the case is dead.
Zodiac's long gone.
1742
01:49:10,647 --> 01:49:12,808
He's yesterday's news, right?
1743
01:49:13,884 --> 01:49:15,647
That's what they say.
1744
01:49:16,586 --> 01:49:18,417
So, what's the harm?
1745
01:49:18,522 --> 01:49:19,955
No pens, no paper.
1746
01:49:20,524 --> 01:49:23,186
Anything that you see that's relevant,
you got to remember in your head.
1747
01:49:23,293 --> 01:49:24,351
Okay.
1748
01:49:26,596 --> 01:49:27,893
Okay, here we go.
1749
01:49:27,998 --> 01:49:30,057
- Which one?
- All of them.
1750
01:49:30,167 --> 01:49:32,863
And there's more in the next room.
They're all marked with these numbers.
1751
01:49:32,969 --> 01:49:34,163
243-146.
1752
01:49:34,271 --> 01:49:36,102
You don't smoke, do you?
1753
01:49:36,206 --> 01:49:38,299
Once. In high school.
1754
01:49:41,712 --> 01:49:43,077
What's this?
1755
01:49:44,014 --> 01:49:45,311
Thank you.
1756
01:50:13,543 --> 01:50:15,534
Man, you really creeped us out.
1757
01:50:21,318 --> 01:50:22,717
"Nine millimeter.
1758
01:50:24,988 --> 01:50:27,513
"Said nothing and began firing. "
1759
01:50:36,333 --> 01:50:37,630
"Most Dangerous Game.
1760
01:50:37,734 --> 01:50:40,498
"Do not eliminate this suspect
because of handwriting.
1761
01:50:40,604 --> 01:50:42,697
"Not because of handwriting.
1762
01:50:43,273 --> 01:50:45,241
"Darlene's sister, Linda.
1763
01:50:45,342 --> 01:50:48,004
"It was all just deep breathing. George.
1764
01:50:48,645 --> 01:50:51,409
"It was a strange man. George.
Strange man. "
1765
01:50:52,382 --> 01:50:54,009
Thank you so much.
1766
01:50:55,919 --> 01:50:57,910
Oh, briefcase. Oh, thanks.
1767
01:51:00,624 --> 01:51:03,149
- Hey, Jack.
- Hey, Bawart.
1768
01:51:03,260 --> 01:51:05,091
- Who's that?
- That's Graysmith.
1769
01:51:05,195 --> 01:51:08,460
Some cartoonist.
Thinks he's gonna solve the Zodiac.
1770
01:51:10,133 --> 01:51:11,430
Well, good for him.
1771
01:51:41,932 --> 01:51:44,196
- Thank you for meeting me, Inspector.
- No. We're not meeting, Robert.
1772
01:51:44,301 --> 01:51:45,825
We're just two guys
who happen to be sitting
1773
01:51:45,936 --> 01:51:47,096
on the same bench at the same time.
1774
01:51:47,204 --> 01:51:49,604
I've got five minutes.
I've got to get back to the Hall.
1775
01:51:49,706 --> 01:51:52,436
Okay. As far as you know,
did anyone ever get in touch
1776
01:51:52,542 --> 01:51:54,237
with Mike Mageau
during your investigation
1777
01:51:54,344 --> 01:51:56,812
- and show him suspect photos?
- Why?
1778
01:51:56,913 --> 01:51:59,347
Well, he's the only surviving victim
who ever saw Zodiac without a mask.
1779
01:51:59,449 --> 01:52:00,780
No, I mean, why are you asking me?
1780
01:52:00,884 --> 01:52:02,746
Mageau and Darlene,
that's Vallejo's case.
1781
01:52:02,853 --> 01:52:05,617
Paul Stine is mine.
You've got four minutes now.
1782
01:52:05,722 --> 01:52:07,815
Darlene Ferrin was being followed.
1783
01:52:07,924 --> 01:52:09,892
Now, I know Mulanax says
that they already found this guy,
1784
01:52:09,993 --> 01:52:10,982
a George Waters?
1785
01:52:11,094 --> 01:52:12,891
But he also said
that she had a lot of admirers
1786
01:52:12,996 --> 01:52:14,623
who would come to
the restaurant where she worked.
1787
01:52:14,731 --> 01:52:16,323
- She was popular.
- Very.
1788
01:52:16,433 --> 01:52:18,060
Yeah. So...
1789
01:52:18,168 --> 01:52:20,102
She and her husband,
they move into their new house,
1790
01:52:20,203 --> 01:52:21,830
and one night they throw
this painting party.
1791
01:52:21,938 --> 01:52:23,030
And what's a painting party?
1792
01:52:23,139 --> 01:52:25,107
It's a party where people come
and help you paint.
1793
01:52:25,208 --> 01:52:26,300
Sounds like a terrible party.
1794
01:52:26,409 --> 01:52:30,175
Well, supposedly,
somebody who's not Waters shows up.
1795
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:32,145
And Darlene is terrified of him.
1796
01:52:32,249 --> 01:52:33,978
So you think that Darlene knew Zodiac?
1797
01:52:34,084 --> 01:52:38,544
And if Zodiac knew Darlene,
then maybe Mageau knows Zodiac.
1798
01:52:38,655 --> 01:52:40,486
Maybe. But Mageau's gone.
1799
01:52:40,590 --> 01:52:42,182
So if you wanna connect
Darlene to Zodiac,
1800
01:52:42,292 --> 01:52:43,691
you're gonna have to find another way.
1801
01:52:43,793 --> 01:52:45,124
I have another way.
1802
01:52:45,228 --> 01:52:46,820
Phone calls the night
of Darlene's murder.
1803
01:52:46,930 --> 01:52:50,024
- Yeah, Zodiac called the police.
- No, Dave, there were four other calls.
1804
01:52:50,133 --> 01:52:52,431
There were two to Darlene's house,
one to Darlene's brother-in-law,
1805
01:52:52,536 --> 01:52:54,834
and one to Darlene's father-in-law.
Just heavy breathing.
1806
01:52:54,938 --> 01:52:56,769
They started around 1:30 a. m.,
1807
01:52:56,873 --> 01:53:00,536
and this was before anyone in the family
knew that Darlene had been shot.
1808
01:53:00,644 --> 01:53:02,737
- This was in the Vallejo files?
- Yeah.
1809
01:53:02,846 --> 01:53:03,870
God damn it.
1810
01:53:03,980 --> 01:53:05,709
It's got to be more
than just a coincidence, right?
1811
01:53:05,815 --> 01:53:08,682
I mean, somebody doesn't just randomly
prank phone call a victim's entire family
1812
01:53:08,785 --> 01:53:10,810
90 minutes after they were shot.
1813
01:53:10,921 --> 01:53:12,980
So, either Zodiac shoots
a random couple,
1814
01:53:13,089 --> 01:53:14,579
then he recognizes Darlene...
1815
01:53:14,691 --> 01:53:16,682
Or Darlene was shot on purpose.
1816
01:53:16,793 --> 01:53:19,990
Either way,
Zodiac had to have known Darlene.
1817
01:53:21,898 --> 01:53:23,627
That's good, Robert.
1818
01:53:24,134 --> 01:53:27,331
So, I can't find Mageau,
so maybe I can find Darlene's sister.
1819
01:53:27,437 --> 01:53:29,337
And maybe she can tell me
who this mystery man is.
1820
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:32,237
Try that. I've got to go. She's very cute.
1821
01:53:36,146 --> 01:53:37,670
You know,
1822
01:53:37,781 --> 01:53:41,114
it's interesting that you should mention
Zodiac calling people at home.
1823
01:53:41,217 --> 01:53:42,650
He did that in San Francisco once.
1824
01:53:42,752 --> 01:53:44,242
What? Who did he call?
1825
01:53:44,354 --> 01:53:47,414
I can't tell you.
That's privileged information.
1826
01:53:48,058 --> 01:53:50,219
But maybe Melvin Belli could.
1827
01:53:52,896 --> 01:53:54,420
Melvin Belli.
1828
01:53:55,365 --> 01:53:57,629
How do I get to Melvin Belli?
1829
01:53:57,734 --> 01:54:00,726
- He should be along soon.
- Oh, that's all right.
1830
01:54:00,837 --> 01:54:03,203
I've really...
I've only been waiting two hours, so...
1831
01:54:03,306 --> 01:54:05,137
He's usually not this late.
1832
01:54:05,241 --> 01:54:08,005
Oh, cookies. Thank you.
These look great.
1833
01:54:08,845 --> 01:54:12,747
- You are here on business?
- I'm writing a book about the Zodiac.
1834
01:54:12,849 --> 01:54:15,784
I remember that. I spoke to him.
1835
01:54:15,885 --> 01:54:20,481
- You mean to Mr. Belli about the case?
- No, to the Zodiac when he called.
1836
01:54:20,590 --> 01:54:23,889
He said he had to kill
because it was his birthday.
1837
01:54:23,994 --> 01:54:27,225
He said it... Wait.
He said it was his birthday?
1838
01:54:27,330 --> 01:54:29,855
Yes. You want something to drink?
1839
01:54:30,900 --> 01:54:34,893
- When was this?
- Oh, so many years ago.
1840
01:54:36,606 --> 01:54:39,166
Mr. Belli was away for Christmas.
1841
01:54:39,275 --> 01:54:40,503
Gone for a week.
1842
01:54:40,610 --> 01:54:42,942
The Zodiac called,
wanting to talk to him.
1843
01:54:43,046 --> 01:54:44,741
I said, "He is not here. "
1844
01:54:44,848 --> 01:54:47,749
He said, "I have to kill.
Today is my birthday. "
1845
01:54:47,851 --> 01:54:49,785
And then he hangs up.
1846
01:54:49,886 --> 01:54:51,376
Then the letter arrived.
1847
01:54:51,488 --> 01:54:55,515
So, the call came
before the letter of December 20th.
1848
01:54:55,625 --> 01:54:57,559
Mr. Belli was gone for a week?
1849
01:54:57,661 --> 01:55:01,392
He came back on Christmas.
Not a good day to work.
1850
01:55:01,498 --> 01:55:03,432
So, he left on the 18th.
1851
01:55:04,634 --> 01:55:06,101
Is that helpful?
1852
01:55:06,202 --> 01:55:07,635
She said it was his birthday.
1853
01:55:07,737 --> 01:55:11,537
Well, you'd have to confirm that,
now wouldn't you?
1854
01:55:11,641 --> 01:55:13,040
How?
1855
01:55:13,143 --> 01:55:16,237
Well, I never spoke to her,
but maybe my partner did.
1856
01:55:16,346 --> 01:55:19,179
- How do I get a hold of him?
- You don't. Bill wanted out of this.
1857
01:55:19,282 --> 01:55:21,546
As far as I'm concerned,
he should stay out.
1858
01:55:21,651 --> 01:55:22,913
How do I confirm it?
1859
01:55:23,019 --> 01:55:25,544
Well, if my partner
did talk to someone from Justice,
1860
01:55:25,655 --> 01:55:27,213
then they would've had
to put that in a report.
1861
01:55:27,323 --> 01:55:29,621
That's standard procedure.
1862
01:55:29,726 --> 01:55:31,785
- Okay.
- Mel Nicolai.
1863
01:55:31,895 --> 01:55:33,829
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
1864
01:55:33,930 --> 01:55:36,091
I just need to confirm a date.
1865
01:55:36,199 --> 01:55:37,530
- Mr. Graysmith...
- I've narrowed it down
1866
01:55:37,634 --> 01:55:39,898
between the 18th and the 20th
of December, and I just need...
1867
01:55:40,003 --> 01:55:43,302
Okay, I'll play.
Let's say this phone call did take place.
1868
01:55:43,406 --> 01:55:44,839
Let's say it really was Zodiac.
1869
01:55:44,941 --> 01:55:47,705
Why would he volunteer
the day he was born?
1870
01:55:47,811 --> 01:55:49,938
Plus, nobody died on December 18th,
1871
01:55:50,046 --> 01:55:52,844
just like nobody died over the weekend
when he was gonna kill a dozen people,
1872
01:55:52,949 --> 01:55:55,281
or when he was gonna
shoot school kids or blow up buses.
1873
01:55:55,385 --> 01:55:56,750
He's a liar, Mr. Graysmith.
1874
01:55:56,853 --> 01:55:58,514
What if he made a mistake?
1875
01:55:58,621 --> 01:56:00,646
What if he wasn't lying?
What if it was him on the phone?
1876
01:56:00,757 --> 01:56:03,123
He didn't expect to pick it up,
a nice person to pick up.
1877
01:56:03,226 --> 01:56:04,557
What if? What if? What if?
1878
01:56:04,661 --> 01:56:07,994
Look, off the record,
Bill Armstrong checked this out.
1879
01:56:08,098 --> 01:56:10,692
We took this very seriously.
1880
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:14,031
None of the suspects had the
same birthday as this phantom caller.
1881
01:56:14,137 --> 01:56:16,298
Bill Armstrong.
1882
01:56:21,878 --> 01:56:23,846
Can I give you a piece of advice?
1883
01:56:23,947 --> 01:56:25,505
You're looking in the wrong place.
1884
01:56:25,615 --> 01:56:28,641
Handwriting, fingerprints,
that's what this whole thing's about.
1885
01:56:28,752 --> 01:56:30,117
Stick to the evidence.
1886
01:56:31,154 --> 01:56:32,178
Hi.
1887
01:56:40,497 --> 01:56:43,625
- Hey. How was your day?
- Long.
1888
01:56:49,072 --> 01:56:50,471
Who's Sherwood Morrill?
1889
01:56:50,573 --> 01:56:53,337
He's a handwriting expert
in Sacramento.
1890
01:56:53,443 --> 01:56:54,535
He called.
1891
01:56:54,644 --> 01:56:56,737
He said he can meet you
tomorrow morning at 7:00.
1892
01:56:56,846 --> 01:56:58,108
Oh, great.
1893
01:56:58,214 --> 01:57:01,047
- So you're taking off work?
- Just an hour.
1894
01:57:02,852 --> 01:57:04,945
Sacramento's two hours away.
1895
01:57:06,089 --> 01:57:07,681
- Really?
- Yes.
1896
01:57:08,458 --> 01:57:09,982
What's this?
1897
01:57:10,093 --> 01:57:12,721
Oh, that's that article.
1898
01:57:12,829 --> 01:57:16,390
"Robert Graysmith has quietly been
shopping his book about the Zodiac. "
1899
01:57:16,499 --> 01:57:17,591
Yeah.
1900
01:57:17,700 --> 01:57:20,328
It talks all about you
researching Zodiac.
1901
01:57:20,436 --> 01:57:21,835
Well, that's what the article's about.
1902
01:57:21,938 --> 01:57:24,372
I'm not so sure that's something
we want people to know about.
1903
01:57:24,474 --> 01:57:25,532
Why? Are you embarrassed?
1904
01:57:25,642 --> 01:57:28,805
Robert, what's the one thing
we know about Zodiac?
1905
01:57:29,479 --> 01:57:30,673
He reads the Chronicle.
1906
01:57:30,780 --> 01:57:33,271
Yeah, but he's never
gonna read Herb Caen.
1907
01:57:37,954 --> 01:57:40,252
- Hello.
- Mr. Graysmith?
1908
01:57:40,356 --> 01:57:42,916
The Robert Graysmith
mentioned in the paper today?
1909
01:57:43,026 --> 01:57:46,120
- Yeah?
- I can tell you who the Zodiac is.
1910
01:57:49,933 --> 01:57:50,957
Who is this?
1911
01:57:51,067 --> 01:57:53,194
The Zodiac Killer
is obsessed with movies.
1912
01:57:53,303 --> 01:57:55,999
He recorded his murders on film.
1913
01:57:56,105 --> 01:57:59,472
I tried to tell the police,
but they wouldn't follow through on it.
1914
01:57:59,576 --> 01:58:02,511
There's a man you need to find.
His name is Bob Vaughn.
1915
01:58:02,612 --> 01:58:05,137
- Pen, pen.
- V- A-U-G-H-N.
1916
01:58:05,248 --> 01:58:07,375
He's a friend of the Zodiac's.
1917
01:58:07,483 --> 01:58:09,610
Mr. Vaughn does not know
his friend is a killer,
1918
01:58:09,719 --> 01:58:12,313
and he is storing
some film canisters for him.
1919
01:58:12,422 --> 01:58:14,117
In these canisters is the evidence.
1920
01:58:14,224 --> 01:58:17,591
Okay, yeah, friend? Who is this friend?
1921
01:58:17,694 --> 01:58:19,321
You have quite enough to get started.
1922
01:58:19,429 --> 01:58:20,987
Oh, please.
1923
01:58:21,097 --> 01:58:24,396
The Zodiac's name is Rick Marshall.
1924
01:58:28,271 --> 01:58:30,102
Your toast is burning.
1925
01:58:31,307 --> 01:58:36,301
We choose at some point in our lives
how to physically construct each letter.
1926
01:58:37,013 --> 01:58:39,311
Once we lock that into our brains,
1927
01:58:39,415 --> 01:58:41,713
our handwriting may change
over the years,
1928
01:58:41,818 --> 01:58:44,480
but the moves themselves
remain unaltered.
1929
01:58:44,587 --> 01:58:46,077
- Understand?
- Yes.
1930
01:58:47,590 --> 01:58:49,524
Except Zodiac's doesn't.
1931
01:58:51,227 --> 01:58:53,161
Specifically with his "K."
1932
01:58:54,264 --> 01:58:57,233
In his first letters,
he executed the "K" with two strokes.
1933
01:58:57,333 --> 01:58:58,857
Later letters, he did them with three.
1934
01:58:58,968 --> 01:59:01,129
- Why?
- We don't know.
1935
01:59:01,237 --> 01:59:03,262
Excuse me, I've got to spray this.
1936
01:59:03,373 --> 01:59:06,501
How many suspects
were cleared through handwriting?
1937
01:59:06,609 --> 01:59:08,042
All of them.
1938
01:59:08,144 --> 01:59:11,602
Also the print in the cab.
No match was ever found.
1939
01:59:11,714 --> 01:59:15,650
Is there any way that someone
could beat a handwriting test?
1940
01:59:15,752 --> 01:59:16,844
No.
1941
01:59:16,953 --> 01:59:20,116
Whoever the Zodiac is,
he's not someone I cleared.
1942
01:59:21,057 --> 01:59:24,515
About a month ago, a man showed up
on my doorstep very distraught.
1943
01:59:24,627 --> 01:59:26,686
His name was Wallace Penny.
1944
01:59:27,530 --> 01:59:29,794
He said he knew who the Zodiac was.
1945
01:59:29,899 --> 01:59:31,958
Gave me a name.
1946
01:59:32,068 --> 01:59:34,195
Rick. Rick somebody.
1947
01:59:34,304 --> 01:59:36,738
- Rick Marshall?
- Yeah.
1948
01:59:36,839 --> 01:59:39,364
I think that the man
who you talked to called me, too.
1949
01:59:39,475 --> 01:59:42,069
After he left, then I checked my files.
1950
01:59:42,178 --> 01:59:44,009
I never cleared a Rick Marshall.
1951
01:59:51,220 --> 01:59:52,346
Hello?
1952
01:59:57,460 --> 01:59:59,155
Hello? Who is this?
1953
02:00:09,272 --> 02:00:11,001
It's the wrong number.
1954
02:00:17,213 --> 02:00:20,341
Does the name Rick Marshall
mean anything to you?
1955
02:00:21,351 --> 02:00:23,512
What are you after?
1956
02:00:23,619 --> 02:00:24,677
What do you got?
1957
02:00:24,787 --> 02:00:29,918
Hypothetically, you just named
my favorite suspect in the whole case.
1958
02:00:30,026 --> 02:00:31,550
This is off the record.
1959
02:00:31,661 --> 02:00:34,095
Couple years back,
I was trying to get Marshall's prints.
1960
02:00:34,197 --> 02:00:35,926
I handed him a photo.
1961
02:00:36,032 --> 02:00:38,398
He looks at it. He's about to give it back
and he stops and he says,
1962
02:00:38,501 --> 02:00:40,935
"My goodness,
I got fingerprints all over this. "
1963
02:00:41,037 --> 02:00:42,868
And he wipes them off.
1964
02:00:43,473 --> 02:00:45,304
Why didn't you test him for handwriting?
1965
02:00:45,408 --> 02:00:48,036
Because when they finally
did run his prints,
1966
02:00:48,144 --> 02:00:50,408
they cleared him
against the one in Stine's cab.
1967
02:00:50,513 --> 02:00:52,504
- So, then, it's not him.
- Maybe yes, maybe no.
1968
02:00:52,615 --> 02:00:54,742
No. What do you mean?
1969
02:00:54,851 --> 02:00:57,217
Zodiac left gloves behind at the scene.
1970
02:00:57,320 --> 02:00:59,345
If he had the foresight
to bring gloves with him,
1971
02:00:59,455 --> 02:01:01,446
how the hell's he gonna
accidentally leave a print behind?
1972
02:01:01,557 --> 02:01:03,548
But it was in the victim's blood.
1973
02:01:03,659 --> 02:01:04,990
Could have been one of the bystanders,
1974
02:01:05,094 --> 02:01:07,460
or a cop just reaches out,
boom, false print.
1975
02:01:07,563 --> 02:01:09,929
Yeah, but that print
disqualified 2,500 suspects.
1976
02:01:10,033 --> 02:01:11,330
Which is why we also used handwriting.
1977
02:01:11,434 --> 02:01:12,731
But not for Rick Marshall.
1978
02:01:12,835 --> 02:01:15,895
SFPD saw a handwritten sign
in the window of his house.
1979
02:01:16,005 --> 02:01:19,839
Decided it looked nothing
like the Z letters, so they just moved on.
1980
02:01:19,942 --> 02:01:22,172
How do they know
that Rick Marshall wrote the sign?
1981
02:01:22,278 --> 02:01:23,267
My thoughts exactly.
1982
02:01:24,480 --> 02:01:28,211
Rick Marshall was a Navy man.
He received code training.
1983
02:01:28,317 --> 02:01:30,751
He was also a projectionist
at a silent film theater.
1984
02:01:30,853 --> 02:01:32,946
Well, then, how do I get copies
of Rick Marshall's handwriting?
1985
02:01:33,056 --> 02:01:36,924
Three ways.
One, get a warrant, which you can't.
1986
02:01:37,026 --> 02:01:39,153
Two, get him to volunteer,
which he won't.
1987
02:01:39,262 --> 02:01:41,162
Yeah, and three?
1988
02:01:41,264 --> 02:01:42,891
Get creative.
1989
02:01:42,999 --> 02:01:45,729
I don't know what to tell you.
You get it, I'll analyze it.
1990
02:01:45,835 --> 02:01:47,200
Beyond that, you're on your own.
1991
02:01:47,303 --> 02:01:49,737
Okay, what about
the guy who came to see you,
1992
02:01:49,839 --> 02:01:51,238
the one who called me?
1993
02:01:51,340 --> 02:01:53,808
You mean Wallace Penny?
1994
02:01:53,910 --> 02:01:56,003
Yeah. Did he leave a number?
1995
02:02:05,354 --> 02:02:08,619
- Hello?
- Hi, this is Robert Graysmith.
1996
02:02:08,724 --> 02:02:09,713
How did you find me?
1997
02:02:09,826 --> 02:02:11,851
I need a sample
of Rick Marshall's handwriting.
1998
02:02:11,961 --> 02:02:13,258
I told you. Vaughn is who...
1999
02:02:13,362 --> 02:02:16,331
Mr. Penny,
if Rick Marshall is the Zodiac,
2000
02:02:16,432 --> 02:02:18,900
I need a sample of his handwriting
to confirm it.
2001
02:02:19,001 --> 02:02:20,593
Can you help me or not?
2002
02:02:22,305 --> 02:02:26,969
Rick used to draw movie posters
for the theater Vaughn worked at.
2003
02:02:27,076 --> 02:02:28,976
- I'll send one down.
- Thank you.
2004
02:02:38,988 --> 02:02:41,388
- I'll need to see more samples.
- Yeah, but is it...
2005
02:02:41,491 --> 02:02:43,982
It's as close as I've ever seen.
We have to tread lightly here.
2006
02:02:44,093 --> 02:02:46,527
We're talking about
implicating this man as the Zodiac.
2007
02:02:46,629 --> 02:02:49,621
I can get more. I'll just find Vaughn
and I'll track down Linda.
2008
02:02:49,732 --> 02:02:51,700
I mean, Linda is Darlene's sister.
2009
02:02:51,801 --> 02:02:54,497
I've been to the DMV,
and I talked to her parents,
2010
02:02:54,604 --> 02:02:57,698
but still, nobody knows
where to find her.
2011
02:02:57,807 --> 02:03:02,267
Mr. Graysmith, most of the writing
matches the exemplar.
2012
02:03:02,378 --> 02:03:05,404
In a way, though, it's the part that
doesn't match that scares me the most.
2013
02:03:05,515 --> 02:03:07,915
- What do you mean?
- Well, on the poster,
2014
02:03:08,017 --> 02:03:11,111
the one letter that absolutely,
positively does not match
2015
02:03:11,220 --> 02:03:12,778
is the letter "K."
2016
02:03:14,790 --> 02:03:18,658
You wouldn't happen to have any
animal crackers in there, would you?
2017
02:03:18,761 --> 02:03:22,322
Unit Five.
Toschi needs to call in on a landline.
2018
02:03:34,343 --> 02:03:36,709
- Dispatch.
- Hey. Dave Toschi.
2019
02:03:36,812 --> 02:03:38,404
I'll connect you.
2020
02:03:39,215 --> 02:03:40,648
- Dave?
- Yeah. What's up?
2021
02:03:40,750 --> 02:03:43,116
Jennings here from the Chronicle.
2022
02:03:43,219 --> 02:03:45,187
It came in this morning
and you need to see it right now.
2023
02:03:45,288 --> 02:03:46,346
See what?
2024
02:03:46,455 --> 02:03:49,185
The new Zodiac letter.
And it mentions you.
2025
02:03:49,292 --> 02:03:50,350
Okay, okay.
2026
02:03:52,662 --> 02:03:54,926
Shit. All right, come on.
2027
02:03:55,031 --> 02:03:56,965
Hall of Justice!
2028
02:03:57,066 --> 02:04:00,126
Now! Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on!
2029
02:04:06,375 --> 02:04:07,433
Dave!
2030
02:04:08,578 --> 02:04:10,512
Do you have it with you?
2031
02:04:13,649 --> 02:04:16,083
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
I'm back with you.
2032
02:04:16,185 --> 02:04:19,245
"Tell Herb Caen I am here,
I have always been here.
2033
02:04:19,355 --> 02:04:22,381
"That city pig Toschi is good,
but I am smarter and better.
2034
02:04:22,491 --> 02:04:25,187
"He will get tired, then leave me alone.
2035
02:04:25,294 --> 02:04:28,752
"I'm waiting for a good movie about me.
Who will play me?
2036
02:04:28,864 --> 02:04:30,889
"I'm now in control of all things. "
2037
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:33,491
These guys are from Internal Affairs.
2038
02:04:35,438 --> 02:04:37,167
We need to talk.
2039
02:04:37,273 --> 02:04:39,036
Good evening. Our top story tonight,
2040
02:04:39,141 --> 02:04:41,632
the San Francisco Police Department
has confirmed
2041
02:04:41,744 --> 02:04:44,235
that the man
who calls himself the Zodiac
2042
02:04:44,347 --> 02:04:48,716
and terrorized the Bay Area
has broken his silence of 51 months.
2043
02:04:48,818 --> 02:04:51,286
In a letter claiming,
"I am back with you,"
2044
02:04:51,387 --> 02:04:54,845
the Zodiac makes no overt threats
against the citizenry,
2045
02:04:54,957 --> 02:04:58,120
and muses that his life and times
would make the best movie script yet.
2046
02:04:58,227 --> 02:04:59,717
These carrots are perfect.
2047
02:04:59,829 --> 02:05:01,194
The terse 66 word message
also manages...
2048
02:05:01,297 --> 02:05:02,321
Just go.
2049
02:05:02,431 --> 02:05:05,400
...to mention San Francisco Chronicle
columnist Herb Caen
2050
02:05:05,501 --> 02:05:08,436
and the Department's own
David Toschi by name.
2051
02:05:08,537 --> 02:05:10,129
- May I be excused?
- Are they targets?
2052
02:05:10,239 --> 02:05:11,228
Fine, but you have to come back
2053
02:05:11,340 --> 02:05:12,967
and finish at least half
of what's on that plate.
2054
02:05:13,075 --> 02:05:15,270
More team coverage
on the cipher slayer's return
2055
02:05:15,378 --> 02:05:17,846
begins as Alan Freeman has more.
2056
02:05:17,947 --> 02:05:19,073
Thank you, Eric.
2057
02:05:19,181 --> 02:05:21,649
San Francisco Chronicle columnist
Armistead Maupin says
2058
02:05:21,751 --> 02:05:24,345
that he thinks not only
is this new letter a forgery,
2059
02:05:24,453 --> 02:05:26,387
but it was written by the very man
2060
02:05:26,489 --> 02:05:30,118
trusted to hunt down this killer,
David Toschi.
2061
02:05:30,226 --> 02:05:33,992
Maupin, a very well-respected author,
has gone on record saying
2062
02:05:34,096 --> 02:05:38,692
that he believes Toschi wrote the letter
to drum up publicity for himself.
2063
02:05:38,801 --> 02:05:41,861
Maupin used David
as a character in his column.
2064
02:05:41,971 --> 02:05:43,871
David got a kick out of it
2065
02:05:43,973 --> 02:05:45,964
and so he wrote
a couple of anonymous letters
2066
02:05:46,075 --> 02:05:47,975
asking for the character
to be brought back.
2067
02:05:48,077 --> 02:05:51,069
It was like
writing fan mail to himself. That's all.
2068
02:05:51,180 --> 02:05:53,375
But David did not write that letter.
2069
02:05:53,482 --> 02:05:56,610
No, I'm sure that he didn't.
And I'm sure that this will all blow over.
2070
02:05:56,719 --> 02:05:58,050
Blow over?
2071
02:05:58,154 --> 02:06:00,213
They kicked him out of Homicide.
2072
02:06:00,323 --> 02:06:03,622
They made him give his handwriting
like some common criminal.
2073
02:06:03,726 --> 02:06:06,058
- May I talk to him?
- No.
2074
02:06:07,229 --> 02:06:08,389
Okay, can you just ask him
2075
02:06:08,497 --> 02:06:10,863
if he ever investigated
a man named Rick Marshall?
2076
02:06:10,966 --> 02:06:12,729
Is that all you can think about?
2077
02:06:12,835 --> 02:06:16,236
Mr. Graysmith,
Maupin works at your paper. We trust...
2078
02:06:21,944 --> 02:06:23,411
This girl, she wants music lessons?
2079
02:06:23,512 --> 02:06:24,979
Dave! Dave!
2080
02:06:27,316 --> 02:06:29,682
I'll catch up to you.
2081
02:06:29,785 --> 02:06:31,980
You stop calling my house.
Do you understand me?
2082
02:06:32,088 --> 02:06:33,783
I just need your help to find Linda.
2083
02:06:33,889 --> 02:06:35,823
- Jesus.
- Look, two seconds.
2084
02:06:37,860 --> 02:06:40,192
Look, we've been
running handwriting samples.
2085
02:06:40,296 --> 02:06:42,662
- Who's we?
- Sherwood and I.
2086
02:06:42,765 --> 02:06:43,857
Sherwood?
2087
02:06:43,966 --> 02:06:46,059
Sherwood who was fired
from Questioned Documents?
2088
02:06:46,168 --> 02:06:47,726
Sherwood who drinks
like Paul Avery now?
2089
02:06:47,837 --> 02:06:50,169
- He retired.
- Is that what he told you?
2090
02:06:50,272 --> 02:06:54,140
- What, are you saying he's wrong?
- I'm saying stop calling my house.
2091
02:06:55,077 --> 02:06:56,738
- We ran them on Rick Marshall.
- No, Robert.
2092
02:06:56,846 --> 02:06:58,143
No, I know you don't think it's him.
2093
02:06:58,247 --> 02:06:59,680
I mean, no, I am not having
this conversation.
2094
02:06:59,782 --> 02:07:02,512
But I think that Marshall knew Darlene,
and I can't talk to Mageau or Linda,
2095
02:07:02,618 --> 02:07:03,166
so I'm gonna talk to Bob Vaughn.
2096
02:07:03,201 --> 02:07:03,714
So I'm gonna talk to Bob Vaughn.
2097
02:07:03,819 --> 02:07:05,047
- Robert. Robert, stop it!
- What?
2098
02:07:05,154 --> 02:07:07,384
Okay, the Rick Marshalls
of this world will suck you dry.
2099
02:07:07,490 --> 02:07:08,457
They're blind alleys.
2100
02:07:08,557 --> 02:07:11,025
But he said he wasn't gonna announce
his murders anymore, Dave.
2101
02:07:11,127 --> 02:07:12,185
He was just gonna do them.
2102
02:07:12,294 --> 02:07:15,229
Do you know what the chances
of us arresting someone are now?
2103
02:07:15,331 --> 02:07:19,427
Too much time has gone by, okay?
Too much of the evidence is lost.
2104
02:07:19,535 --> 02:07:22,527
People get old, Robert. They forget.
2105
02:07:22,638 --> 02:07:26,938
Now, I have been a cop for 25 years.
Murder police for 12.
2106
02:07:27,042 --> 02:07:29,340
- What do you do for a living?
- You know what I do for a living.
2107
02:07:29,445 --> 02:07:31,675
- You're a cartoonist.
- So what are you saying?
2108
02:07:31,781 --> 02:07:34,909
I am saying Zodiac was my job.
It is not yours.
2109
02:07:37,920 --> 02:07:40,480
- He's still out there, Dave.
- No, Robert. I am through with this.
2110
02:07:40,589 --> 02:07:42,454
I am through with you.
2111
02:07:48,798 --> 02:07:51,323
What about September 26, 1970?
2112
02:07:51,434 --> 02:07:54,961
- Okay, which one was that?
- The Lake Tahoe nurse goes missing.
2113
02:07:57,840 --> 02:07:59,307
One day before the vernal equinox.
2114
02:07:59,408 --> 02:08:01,205
- Dad?
- Yeah. Mark that.
2115
02:08:01,310 --> 02:08:04,677
Got another one. June 19th, 1971.
2116
02:08:04,780 --> 02:08:07,544
That's got to be
near the summer solstice.
2117
02:08:10,119 --> 02:08:11,450
Oh, guys.
2118
02:08:11,554 --> 02:08:14,580
Don't tell Mom about
our special project, okay?
2119
02:08:15,224 --> 02:08:18,716
How come you and Mom
don't sleep in the same bed anymore?
2120
02:08:22,231 --> 02:08:23,220
Hello.
2121
02:08:23,332 --> 02:08:25,459
Mr. Graysmith,
it's Ken Narlow from Napa.
2122
02:08:25,568 --> 02:08:29,299
Oh, Captain Narlow.
Thank you for calling me back.
2123
02:08:29,405 --> 02:08:31,032
Yeah. How can I help?
2124
02:08:31,140 --> 02:08:34,576
I called you because we've been
cross-referencing lunar cycles
2125
02:08:34,677 --> 02:08:36,269
with the Zodiac's timeline.
2126
02:08:36,378 --> 02:08:40,644
More often than not, each cycle
since '69 corresponds with an attack
2127
02:08:40,749 --> 02:08:43,547
or with one of the letters,
or an unsolved homicide.
2128
02:08:43,652 --> 02:08:46,553
- Who's working with you on this?
- Some colleagues.
2129
02:08:46,655 --> 02:08:47,679
Dad?
2130
02:08:48,691 --> 02:08:51,057
- Ken, can you hold on one second?
- Dad?
2131
02:08:51,160 --> 02:08:53,151
- What is it?
- What's this?
2132
02:08:57,333 --> 02:09:00,598
In the decade since the Zodiac's
last cipher was received,
2133
02:09:00,703 --> 02:09:04,070
every federal agency
has taken a crack at decoding it.
2134
02:09:04,173 --> 02:09:07,040
But today,
where those agencies had failed,
2135
02:09:07,142 --> 02:09:09,770
a cartoonist has succeeded.
2136
02:09:09,879 --> 02:09:11,403
How did you do it?
2137
02:09:11,514 --> 02:09:16,918
Oh, just a lot of books from the library,
and I love puzzles, so I just...
2138
02:09:19,021 --> 02:09:21,216
Yeah. The fucking library.
2139
02:09:21,323 --> 02:09:24,451
I believe that you can accomplish
anything that you put your mind...
2140
02:09:27,263 --> 02:09:30,130
That's a "J"? Okay. Honor Camp?
2141
02:09:31,767 --> 02:09:33,394
Thank you so much.
2142
02:09:35,037 --> 02:09:37,631
Hey, we found Linda.
She's in jail. Isn't that great?
2143
02:09:37,740 --> 02:09:38,866
Why'd you do it?
2144
02:09:38,974 --> 02:09:40,407
Because she'll be able to identify Rick...
2145
02:09:40,509 --> 02:09:43,205
- What are you talking about?
- You went on TV.
2146
02:09:43,812 --> 02:09:45,473
You put yourself out there
for him to see.
2147
02:09:45,581 --> 02:09:47,071
Oh, hon, you're being paranoid.
2148
02:09:47,182 --> 02:09:49,173
Then who's been calling our house
in the middle of the night
2149
02:09:49,285 --> 02:09:50,274
at least once a week?
2150
02:09:50,386 --> 02:09:51,546
Nobody.
2151
02:09:53,322 --> 02:09:55,222
What's it gonna take
for you to be done with this?
2152
02:09:55,324 --> 02:09:58,225
I can't talk about this now.
I have to go see Bob Vaughn.
2153
02:09:58,327 --> 02:10:01,490
Well, that's too bad,
because we're gonna talk about this.
2154
02:10:01,597 --> 02:10:03,929
And when is it gonna be finished?
2155
02:10:04,033 --> 02:10:05,967
When you catch him?
When you arrest him?
2156
02:10:06,068 --> 02:10:08,263
- Be serious.
- I am serious.
2157
02:10:10,172 --> 02:10:13,664
I need to know who he is.
2158
02:10:13,776 --> 02:10:16,904
I need to stand there,
2159
02:10:17,012 --> 02:10:20,914
I need to look him in the eye
and I need to know that it's him.
2160
02:10:22,718 --> 02:10:25,084
Is that more important
than your family's safety?
2161
02:10:25,187 --> 02:10:26,654
Of course not.
2162
02:10:28,591 --> 02:10:30,957
Why? Why do you need to do this?
2163
02:10:32,928 --> 02:10:33,986
Why?
2164
02:10:35,831 --> 02:10:37,958
Because nobody else will.
2165
02:10:38,067 --> 02:10:40,001
That's not good enough.
2166
02:10:40,102 --> 02:10:41,967
Are you done? Can I go?
2167
02:10:57,286 --> 02:10:59,311
- Mr. Vaughn?
- Mr. Graysmith?
2168
02:10:59,421 --> 02:11:00,445
- Yes.
- Hi.
2169
02:11:00,556 --> 02:11:01,887
You needed to speak to me?
2170
02:11:01,991 --> 02:11:04,391
Yes. There's a coffee shop
right on the corner.
2171
02:11:04,493 --> 02:11:07,553
- Why don't we just go to my home?
- Oh, I don't wanna put you out.
2172
02:11:07,663 --> 02:11:09,563
It's no trouble at all.
2173
02:11:09,665 --> 02:11:12,133
- Where are you parked?
- Just right there.
2174
02:11:12,234 --> 02:11:15,567
- You can follow me.
- Oh. Okay.
2175
02:11:34,189 --> 02:11:35,747
Watch your step.
2176
02:11:36,859 --> 02:11:38,520
Come in.
2177
02:11:40,362 --> 02:11:43,593
- Very nice house.
- Oh, thank you.
2178
02:11:43,699 --> 02:11:45,530
It's very rustic.
2179
02:11:45,634 --> 02:11:48,797
- Can I take your jacket?
- No, thank you, I'm fine.
2180
02:11:48,904 --> 02:11:50,872
Okay. This way, please.
2181
02:11:53,509 --> 02:11:55,409
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
2182
02:11:55,511 --> 02:11:58,036
- How about some tea?
- Oh, no, I'm all right.
2183
02:11:58,147 --> 02:11:59,580
- You sure?
- Yes.
2184
02:12:00,349 --> 02:12:04,217
I wanted to ask you about a film
that the Avenue may have played
2185
02:12:04,319 --> 02:12:06,219
while you were the organist there.
2186
02:12:06,321 --> 02:12:08,585
The Most Dangerous Game?
2187
02:12:08,691 --> 02:12:12,024
Oh, it's a classic. RKO. 1932.
2188
02:12:12,127 --> 02:12:16,826
Fay Wray, Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks.
We've run that picture many times.
2189
02:12:16,932 --> 02:12:18,422
In '68, '69?
2190
02:12:20,069 --> 02:12:22,264
I'd have to check my records. Why?
2191
02:12:22,371 --> 02:12:24,430
Do you remember the Zodiac?
2192
02:12:26,675 --> 02:12:28,939
This is about Rick Marshall, isn't it?
2193
02:12:29,044 --> 02:12:32,445
- He was a projectionist there, right?
- For a time, yes.
2194
02:12:32,548 --> 02:12:36,575
But I have no occasion
to correspond with him these days.
2195
02:12:36,685 --> 02:12:39,153
Okay. Well, there is a connection
2196
02:12:39,254 --> 02:12:42,018
between one of the Zodiac attacks
and that film.
2197
02:12:42,124 --> 02:12:43,853
You mean the symbol?
2198
02:12:45,127 --> 02:12:46,321
Hold on.
2199
02:12:46,895 --> 02:12:50,991
The Zodiac symbol on film.
It's on the countdown.
2200
02:12:54,903 --> 02:12:57,497
It's trimmed off each reel
before it's shown,
2201
02:12:57,606 --> 02:13:00,131
but it always arrives with it.
2202
02:13:00,242 --> 02:13:01,607
Right there.
2203
02:13:02,244 --> 02:13:05,907
The first time I saw it in the papers,
I thought about that.
2204
02:13:06,782 --> 02:13:08,306
We got a tip
2205
02:13:08,417 --> 02:13:12,376
that Rick left a film canister here
that he told you never to open.
2206
02:13:12,488 --> 02:13:15,616
A tip about a mysterious film canister?
2207
02:13:16,492 --> 02:13:17,823
Is it true?
2208
02:13:19,762 --> 02:13:20,922
Yes.
2209
02:13:21,630 --> 02:13:23,928
- Did you open it?
- No.
2210
02:13:24,032 --> 02:13:28,298
- May I see it?
- Rick took it back in 1972.
2211
02:13:30,038 --> 02:13:34,805
This tip is how you got it in your head
that Rick is the Zodiac?
2212
02:13:34,910 --> 02:13:36,571
That and the poster.
2213
02:13:36,678 --> 02:13:38,009
The poster?
2214
02:13:39,982 --> 02:13:41,745
The poster that Rick drew.
2215
02:13:41,850 --> 02:13:45,047
The handwriting is the closest
that we have ever come to a match.
2216
02:13:45,154 --> 02:13:48,419
- Rick didn't draw any posters.
- No, he drew this one.
2217
02:13:48,524 --> 02:13:51,960
Mr. Graysmith, I do the posters myself.
2218
02:13:53,362 --> 02:13:55,193
That's my handwriting.
2219
02:14:03,472 --> 02:14:06,339
I won't take any more of your time.
2220
02:14:06,441 --> 02:14:11,811
Why don't I just go and find out
when we played that film?
2221
02:14:11,914 --> 02:14:13,381
Oh, that's all right.
2222
02:14:13,482 --> 02:14:16,883
It's not a problem.
They're just down in the basement.
2223
02:14:18,720 --> 02:14:21,621
Not many people
have basements in California.
2224
02:14:24,326 --> 02:14:25,384
I do.
2225
02:14:27,596 --> 02:14:29,564
You coming, Mr. Graysmith?
2226
02:14:40,876 --> 02:14:44,539
The original studio one-sheets,
I always kept for myself.
2227
02:14:46,448 --> 02:14:48,973
The cheapo knock-offs
like you brought today
2228
02:14:49,084 --> 02:14:52,212
I end up tossing into the back alley.
2229
02:15:06,735 --> 02:15:08,225
'69.
2230
02:15:13,942 --> 02:15:15,170
You live alone?
2231
02:15:15,277 --> 02:15:21,045
Most Dangerous Game ran in May '69.
2232
02:15:21,149 --> 02:15:23,583
So, that would be about
2233
02:15:24,519 --> 02:15:27,784
nine weeks before
the first Zodiac letter, correct?
2234
02:15:30,726 --> 02:15:31,784
Yeah.
2235
02:15:36,298 --> 02:15:40,564
Do you think he saw the film
in our theater and was inspired?
2236
02:15:46,675 --> 02:15:49,542
Are you sure
there's nobody else in the house?
2237
02:15:51,179 --> 02:15:53,841
Would you like
to go upstairs and check?
2238
02:15:54,583 --> 02:15:55,572
No.
2239
02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:01,245
Thank you. Thanks for everything.
2240
02:16:02,124 --> 02:16:03,591
You're welcome.
2241
02:16:24,913 --> 02:16:26,278
It's locked.
2242
02:16:37,159 --> 02:16:38,456
Thank you.
2243
02:16:41,596 --> 02:16:43,587
Good night, Mr. Graysmith!
2244
02:17:03,118 --> 02:17:06,781
Two killers. Got to be two killers.
One has the...
2245
02:17:15,097 --> 02:17:16,257
Guys?
2246
02:17:49,831 --> 02:17:51,765
You've got five minutes.
2247
02:17:59,808 --> 02:18:00,934
Linda?
2248
02:18:02,144 --> 02:18:03,611
Hi, I'm Robert.
2249
02:18:07,682 --> 02:18:09,411
Did you get my note?
2250
02:18:10,152 --> 02:18:12,120
- What's this about?
- Zodiac.
2251
02:18:13,755 --> 02:18:14,949
Figures.
2252
02:18:16,391 --> 02:18:18,552
- You got the look.
- What look?
2253
02:18:19,227 --> 02:18:21,218
I didn't mean anything.
2254
02:18:22,564 --> 02:18:24,930
Tell me about this painting party.
2255
02:18:25,867 --> 02:18:28,461
I told the cops about that so long ago.
2256
02:18:32,040 --> 02:18:33,974
Darlene always had
a lot of boys around,
2257
02:18:34,076 --> 02:18:36,010
even though she was married.
2258
02:18:36,111 --> 02:18:38,102
And this one guy was weird, though.
2259
02:18:38,213 --> 02:18:41,546
He used to bring her presents
from Tijuana and...
2260
02:18:42,617 --> 02:18:45,381
I don't know why
she was friends with him.
2261
02:18:45,487 --> 02:18:47,955
She once told me he'd killed somebody.
2262
02:18:48,056 --> 02:18:49,455
Really?
2263
02:18:49,558 --> 02:18:51,924
Yeah, I think maybe
when he was in the service.
2264
02:18:52,027 --> 02:18:53,995
- Navy?
- I think so.
2265
02:18:54,096 --> 02:18:56,257
Was he into movies?
Was he a movie buff?
2266
02:18:56,364 --> 02:18:59,265
I can tell you that
he was not into people.
2267
02:18:59,367 --> 02:19:00,698
The party Darlene threw,
2268
02:19:00,802 --> 02:19:03,703
people were supposed to
just show up and drink beer, help paint.
2269
02:19:03,805 --> 02:19:06,035
But this guy showed up in a suit,
2270
02:19:06,141 --> 02:19:09,076
and just sat in a chair
all by himself all night long.
2271
02:19:09,177 --> 02:19:10,610
Didn't talk to anyone.
2272
02:19:10,712 --> 02:19:12,543
And Darlene told me
to stay away from him.
2273
02:19:12,647 --> 02:19:14,478
She was scared of him.
2274
02:19:16,751 --> 02:19:19,219
And a couple of weeks later,
she was dead.
2275
02:19:19,321 --> 02:19:21,789
I'm sorry. Do you remember his name?
2276
02:19:22,791 --> 02:19:26,659
I mean, it was short,
like a nickname, like Stan.
2277
02:19:26,761 --> 02:19:29,059
- Rick?
- No, I don't think so.
2278
02:19:29,965 --> 02:19:32,160
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
2279
02:19:32,267 --> 02:19:34,792
How can you be sure?
It was a long time ago. Think hard.
2280
02:19:34,903 --> 02:19:36,928
I am thinking hard.
2281
02:19:37,038 --> 02:19:38,403
It was Rick.
2282
02:19:39,441 --> 02:19:40,533
No, it wasn't.
2283
02:19:40,642 --> 02:19:43,008
- It was Rick. It was Rick Marshall.
- No.
2284
02:19:43,111 --> 02:19:44,806
Just say it!
2285
02:19:44,913 --> 02:19:46,744
It wasn't Rick.
2286
02:19:54,556 --> 02:19:55,887
It was Leigh.
2287
02:19:59,060 --> 02:20:01,585
- Leigh?
- Yeah, Leigh.
2288
02:20:02,931 --> 02:20:04,228
Sounds right.
2289
02:20:09,070 --> 02:20:11,903
Officer! I need you to let me in.
2290
02:20:12,007 --> 02:20:14,134
- Is this an emergency?
- No, I just need to see one file.
2291
02:20:14,242 --> 02:20:15,869
No, you need to come back
tomorrow morning.
2292
02:20:15,977 --> 02:20:18,172
- One file, just for one second.
- 8:00 a. m., when we're open.
2293
02:20:18,280 --> 02:20:19,907
Sergeant! Sergeant Mulanax!
2294
02:20:20,015 --> 02:20:22,449
Sergeant, I just need to see one file!
2295
02:20:22,551 --> 02:20:25,952
Just give me five minutes.
I know exactly where it is.
2296
02:20:26,955 --> 02:20:28,115
Please!
2297
02:20:41,503 --> 02:20:43,164
I shouldn't be talking to you.
2298
02:20:43,271 --> 02:20:45,262
- You got five minutes.
- Okay.
2299
02:20:47,542 --> 02:20:48,770
Here. Here.
2300
02:20:48,877 --> 02:20:52,643
Linda states that some of
Darlene's closest friends are Leigh,
2301
02:20:52,747 --> 02:20:55,716
who used to bring Darlene
presents from Tijuana.
2302
02:20:55,817 --> 02:20:57,717
- So what?
- He knew her.
2303
02:20:57,819 --> 02:20:59,514
Linda said Leigh. This is Leigh.
2304
02:20:59,621 --> 02:21:02,055
No. That's just one name in a file
that contains hundreds.
2305
02:21:02,157 --> 02:21:03,590
It's nothing.
2306
02:21:04,259 --> 02:21:06,420
- Dave Toschi...
- Agrees with me.
2307
02:21:07,062 --> 02:21:09,929
Our investigation
into this subject is over.
2308
02:21:12,934 --> 02:21:14,196
I'm sorry.
2309
02:21:23,378 --> 02:21:24,504
Hello.
2310
02:21:39,694 --> 02:21:41,093
Who's there?
2311
02:21:44,566 --> 02:21:48,058
- You didn't return my calls.
- Oh, I've been kind of busy.
2312
02:21:48,169 --> 02:21:50,000
Yeah. I can see that.
2313
02:21:52,240 --> 02:21:54,071
How's the book coming?
2314
02:21:57,145 --> 02:21:59,136
I tried to send you these.
2315
02:22:00,248 --> 02:22:02,011
I called the Chron.
2316
02:22:02,117 --> 02:22:04,881
Well, I'm not a cartoonist anymore, so...
2317
02:22:06,454 --> 02:22:07,648
I heard.
2318
02:22:12,827 --> 02:22:15,421
When's the last time
you ate something?
2319
02:22:17,966 --> 02:22:20,059
Nothing makes sense anymore.
2320
02:22:22,771 --> 02:22:25,035
- Did it ever?
- Yeah, it did.
2321
02:22:26,541 --> 02:22:29,442
Robert, it was just the date
that didn't end.
2322
02:22:29,944 --> 02:22:31,707
You don't mean that.
2323
02:22:33,148 --> 02:22:34,342
A little.
2324
02:22:37,218 --> 02:22:39,015
The kids miss you.
2325
02:22:39,120 --> 02:22:42,214
- I can't have them see me like this.
- Neither can I.
2326
02:22:42,991 --> 02:22:45,084
So, do whatever you have to,
2327
02:22:46,061 --> 02:22:47,585
but finish this.
2328
02:23:15,156 --> 02:23:16,214
Dave!
2329
02:23:16,991 --> 02:23:18,618
Dave! It's Robert!
2330
02:23:20,895 --> 02:23:22,522
- Dave!
- Is he actually here?
2331
02:23:22,630 --> 02:23:24,325
I'm gonna kill him.
2332
02:23:24,699 --> 02:23:27,293
I'm calling SFPD. Where's my gun?
2333
02:23:29,871 --> 02:23:30,997
Dave!
2334
02:23:31,106 --> 02:23:32,835
Robert! Go away!
2335
02:23:32,941 --> 02:23:34,909
Dave! He made a mistake!
2336
02:23:35,009 --> 02:23:36,977
- Get away from the window.
- I'll meet you around front.
2337
02:23:37,078 --> 02:23:38,545
No, you won't.
2338
02:23:39,714 --> 02:23:41,909
- You have to hear this!
- No, I don't, Robert!
2339
02:23:42,016 --> 02:23:44,484
The birthday was the one time
that he was weak!
2340
02:23:44,586 --> 02:23:46,383
The one time
that he gave something away!
2341
02:23:46,488 --> 02:23:49,787
- Robert, I am calling the police.
- It's Arthur Leigh Allen!
2342
02:23:54,829 --> 02:23:57,093
Where did you get that name?
2343
02:23:57,198 --> 02:23:58,722
He called the Bellis' house.
2344
02:23:58,833 --> 02:24:01,063
December '69.
"I need to kill. Today's my birthday. "
2345
02:24:01,169 --> 02:24:03,137
It was his birthday.
2346
02:24:03,238 --> 02:24:06,139
Arthur Leigh Allen
was born on December 18th.
2347
02:24:09,210 --> 02:24:10,575
Get in here.
2348
02:24:12,714 --> 02:24:14,875
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
2349
02:24:17,852 --> 02:24:19,683
He wrote me, you know?
2350
02:24:20,388 --> 02:24:21,514
2,500 suspects,
2351
02:24:21,623 --> 02:24:25,059
the only one who ever wrote me
a letter was Leigh Allen.
2352
02:24:26,127 --> 02:24:27,822
They like to help, you know, sometimes.
2353
02:24:27,929 --> 02:24:29,362
Yes, Robert, I know.
2354
02:24:30,832 --> 02:24:33,528
He was arrested January 1975
for molestation.
2355
02:24:33,635 --> 02:24:35,535
He sent me that when he got out.
2356
02:24:35,637 --> 02:24:38,367
"Dear Dave, if I can ever be
of any help to you, just let me know.
2357
02:24:38,473 --> 02:24:40,304
"I'm sorry I wasn't your man. "
2358
02:24:40,408 --> 02:24:41,966
And it's typewritten.
2359
02:24:42,076 --> 02:24:44,442
Using a typewriter is not a crime.
2360
02:24:45,914 --> 02:24:47,677
And he knew Darlene.
2361
02:24:49,083 --> 02:24:51,074
It's in the Vallejo files.
2362
02:24:56,291 --> 02:24:59,624
Mulanax said that
he was your favorite suspect.
2363
02:24:59,727 --> 02:25:03,686
That you spent two years on him,
and that nobody ever came close.
2364
02:25:06,768 --> 02:25:08,736
All the evidence said no.
2365
02:25:10,038 --> 02:25:12,268
Sherwood disqualified his handwriting.
2366
02:25:12,373 --> 02:25:15,501
The same Sherwood
that drinks like Paul Avery now?
2367
02:25:16,411 --> 02:25:18,345
Yes, you have Sherwood Morrill
in writing saying,
2368
02:25:18,446 --> 02:25:19,470
"I'm sorry, this just won't work. "
2369
02:25:19,581 --> 02:25:21,344
- But you also have Terry Pascoe...
- His prot�g�.
2370
02:25:21,449 --> 02:25:22,473
Yeah, fine, it's his prot�g�,
2371
02:25:22,584 --> 02:25:24,415
but he's a handwriting expert
nonetheless, and he's saying,
2372
02:25:24,519 --> 02:25:27,215
"Do not disqualify this suspect
on the basis of handwriting. "
2373
02:25:27,322 --> 02:25:29,256
- So the two cancel each other out.
- No, they don't.
2374
02:25:29,357 --> 02:25:30,654
It was Sherwood's case.
2375
02:25:30,758 --> 02:25:32,225
He was the head
of Questioned Documents.
2376
02:25:32,327 --> 02:25:33,658
If it went to trial,
2377
02:25:33,761 --> 02:25:36,730
all the defense would have to do
is call Sherwood to the stand.
2378
02:25:36,831 --> 02:25:39,459
And there was no way of getting Allen
into court in the first place,
2379
02:25:39,567 --> 02:25:40,795
because there was no evidence, Robert.
2380
02:25:40,902 --> 02:25:42,062
What do you mean,
there's no evidence?
2381
02:25:42,170 --> 02:25:43,262
You have him seen with the ciphers.
2382
02:25:43,371 --> 02:25:45,601
The military boot prints.
The same size shoes and gloves.
2383
02:25:45,707 --> 02:25:47,902
The Most Dangerous Game.
The Zodiac watch.
2384
02:25:48,009 --> 02:25:49,203
The background with school children.
2385
02:25:49,310 --> 02:25:51,141
The misspellings of Christ-mass.
The bloody knives.
2386
02:25:51,246 --> 02:25:53,111
All circumstantial.
2387
02:25:53,214 --> 02:25:55,944
Paul Stine's shirt, his wallet, his keys.
2388
02:25:56,050 --> 02:25:57,813
We should have found
one of those things in that trailer.
2389
02:25:57,919 --> 02:25:59,614
- We didn't.
- That's...
2390
02:26:02,056 --> 02:26:04,047
Okay. Catherine Allen states that
2391
02:26:04,158 --> 02:26:06,285
"Leigh cleaned out his trailer
on Friday after work
2392
02:26:06,394 --> 02:26:10,057
"and moved it to Santa Rosa
on Saturday, August 7th, 1971."
2393
02:26:10,164 --> 02:26:12,155
You interviewed him
at the refinery on August 4th.
2394
02:26:12,267 --> 02:26:13,791
- Yeah.
- So, he's cleaning out his trailer,
2395
02:26:13,902 --> 02:26:17,736
he's moving into a different county
48 hours after you interviewed him?
2396
02:26:19,340 --> 02:26:22,332
Okay. Okay.
Look at the stuff side by side, Dave.
2397
02:26:22,443 --> 02:26:23,535
All right.
2398
02:26:23,645 --> 02:26:26,409
Okay, Arthur Leigh Allen
and the Zodiac, their timelines.
2399
02:26:26,514 --> 02:26:29,176
- When was the first murder in Vallejo?
- Christmas, 1968.
2400
02:26:29,284 --> 02:26:31,878
Eight months before that,
Allen is fired for molesting his students
2401
02:26:31,986 --> 02:26:34,079
and his family discovers
that he's a pedophile.
2402
02:26:34,188 --> 02:26:36,486
- Now, when do the letters begin?
- July, '69.
2403
02:26:36,591 --> 02:26:38,252
After the murder of Darlene Ferrin.
2404
02:26:38,359 --> 02:26:41,419
And they continue
until you go to see him at work.
2405
02:26:41,529 --> 02:26:44,760
Now, after that, do any of the letters
contain swatches of Paul Stine's shirt?
2406
02:26:44,866 --> 02:26:46,663
No. Because he dumped them,
because he got scared.
2407
02:26:46,768 --> 02:26:48,497
Because he knew
that you were on to him.
2408
02:26:48,603 --> 02:26:52,334
- So, when's the next letter from Zodiac?
- Not until January of 1974.
2409
02:26:52,440 --> 02:26:53,839
He is silent for three years.
2410
02:26:53,942 --> 02:26:55,739
Then, in '74, he feels comfortable again
2411
02:26:55,843 --> 02:26:57,708
because everybody's moved off
Allen as a suspect.
2412
02:26:57,812 --> 02:26:58,801
And what do we get?
2413
02:26:58,913 --> 02:27:02,906
Three new letters from Zodiac
in January, May, and July in '74.
2414
02:27:03,017 --> 02:27:06,111
- But then the letters stop.
- What happens to Allen?
2415
02:27:09,657 --> 02:27:11,124
He's arrested.
2416
02:27:12,060 --> 02:27:15,393
January, 1975,
they send him to Atascadero.
2417
02:27:15,496 --> 02:27:18,397
We don't get another letter from Zodiac
the entire time he's there.
2418
02:27:18,499 --> 02:27:21,127
- When is he released?
- August, '77.
2419
02:27:21,235 --> 02:27:24,966
Allen gets out. He types you an apology,
and then what?
2420
02:27:25,073 --> 02:27:28,236
We get our first new Zodiac letter
in four years.
2421
02:27:33,881 --> 02:27:37,248
Okay. Zodiac had to have known
Darlene Ferrin, right?
2422
02:27:37,352 --> 02:27:39,582
Yes, because of the phone calls
on the night of her murder.
2423
02:27:39,687 --> 02:27:42,485
Because of the Vallejo file,
2424
02:27:42,590 --> 02:27:44,581
we know that Darlene knew
a man named Leigh?
2425
02:27:44,692 --> 02:27:45,681
Yes.
2426
02:27:45,793 --> 02:27:47,556
So, all coincidence aside, Robert,
2427
02:27:47,662 --> 02:27:50,460
how can you be sure that Leigh Allen
is the Leigh from this file?
2428
02:27:50,565 --> 02:27:53,033
Now, Vallejo is a small town,
but it's not that small.
2429
02:27:53,134 --> 02:27:54,431
How do you put
the two of them together?
2430
02:27:54,535 --> 02:27:57,698
This is a case that's covered
both Northern and Southern California,
2431
02:27:57,805 --> 02:28:00,171
with victims and suspects
spread over hundreds of miles.
2432
02:28:00,274 --> 02:28:02,003
- Would you agree?
- Yes.
2433
02:28:03,277 --> 02:28:06,075
Darlene Ferrin worked
at the Vallejo House of Pancakes
2434
02:28:06,180 --> 02:28:08,671
on the corner of Tennessee and Caroll.
2435
02:28:11,519 --> 02:28:16,252
Arthur Leigh Allen lived in his
mother's basement on Fresno Street.
2436
02:28:17,992 --> 02:28:21,359
Door to door, that is less than 50 yards.
2437
02:28:24,799 --> 02:28:26,266
Is that true?
2438
02:28:27,301 --> 02:28:28,791
I've walked it.
2439
02:28:32,640 --> 02:28:34,073
Jesus Christ.
2440
02:28:40,782 --> 02:28:41,771
So?
2441
02:28:45,720 --> 02:28:47,278
The prints, the handwriting...
2442
02:28:47,388 --> 02:28:50,357
- I'm not asking you as a cop.
- But I am a cop.
2443
02:28:53,227 --> 02:28:55,252
I can't prove this.
2444
02:28:55,363 --> 02:28:58,298
Just because you can't prove it,
doesn't mean it's not true.
2445
02:28:58,399 --> 02:29:00,026
Easy, Dirty Harry.
2446
02:29:03,638 --> 02:29:05,162
Finish the book.
2447
02:29:14,115 --> 02:29:16,549
Thank you. Thank you for breakfast.
2448
02:30:24,852 --> 02:30:26,342
Can I help you?
2449
02:30:28,022 --> 02:30:29,011
No.
2450
02:31:50,204 --> 02:31:51,535
Mr. Mageau.
2451
02:31:52,440 --> 02:31:54,738
Thanks for coming to see me.
2452
02:31:54,842 --> 02:31:56,173
You're the one I talked to on the phone?
2453
02:31:56,277 --> 02:31:59,804
I'm George Bawart. Vallejo PD.
I took over for Jack Mulanax.
2454
02:32:00,848 --> 02:32:03,817
It's been 22 years.
I don't know how I can help you.
2455
02:32:03,918 --> 02:32:05,078
Well, this is just a formality.
2456
02:32:05,186 --> 02:32:06,585
I'm gonna show you
a group of photographs.
2457
02:32:06,687 --> 02:32:08,552
Now, the person that shot you
may or may not be
2458
02:32:08,656 --> 02:32:10,681
among these photographs.
2459
02:32:10,791 --> 02:32:11,985
You don't have to pick anybody out
2460
02:32:12,093 --> 02:32:14,254
just because I'm showing you
these pictures, you understand?
2461
02:32:14,362 --> 02:32:15,886
Yes, sir, I do.
2462
02:32:16,797 --> 02:32:18,128
All right.
2463
02:32:19,166 --> 02:32:20,656
Take your time.
2464
02:32:21,168 --> 02:32:23,966
If you don't recognize anyone,
that's okay.
2465
02:32:35,449 --> 02:32:36,780
That's him.
2466
02:32:38,286 --> 02:32:40,220
How sure are you?
2467
02:32:40,321 --> 02:32:42,152
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
2468
02:32:44,859 --> 02:32:45,985
He had a round face like this guy.
2469
02:32:46,093 --> 02:32:47,287
Wait. Am I to understand
2470
02:32:47,395 --> 02:32:49,158
that you're now identifying
the second photograph?
2471
02:32:49,263 --> 02:32:52,323
No, no. Just that
he had a round face like that.
2472
02:32:54,402 --> 02:32:55,869
It's this man.
2473
02:32:56,804 --> 02:32:58,101
All right.
2474
02:32:59,941 --> 02:33:03,001
Now, on a scale of one to 10,
10 being positive,
2475
02:33:07,114 --> 02:33:08,706
how sure are you?
2476
02:33:12,486 --> 02:33:14,113
At least an eight.
2477
02:33:16,924 --> 02:33:20,758
The last time I saw this face
was July 4th, 1969.
2478
02:33:24,031 --> 02:33:26,727
I am very sure
that's the man who shot me.
