Dinner was great.

You all did yourself.

Glad you liked it.

You sure you want to make the trek tonight?

Not many visitors in the AIDS ward, Dad.

I mean, imagine being alone on maybe your last Thanksgiving.

What a good egg, Joycey.

And hey, maybe I can find a nurse to follow around.

Get a lay of the land before school starts.

Now you're thinking.

I'd take you myself, but I'm not exactly in the right state.

All good. I'll hitch. Yeah.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Love you, Dad.

Love you, Buck.

Headed to the hospital a few miles south if it's not too much trouble.

Not at all.

I love small towns, right?

I'm your neighbor.

I'm Joyce. How are you?

Wait.

What happened?

She was choked with something.

Nip tie, maybe.

Brass had been mutilated with wire cutters or pliers.

Used tape to hold her down.

She was tortured, detective.

How did she... Hammer blows to the head.

I don't see a lot of tracks.

Maybe she was killed somewhere else and dumped here.

Work thing.

You know who she is?

Yeah, a Joyce Patterson.

Heard she used to be a working girl along Route 60.

Risk of that kind of job, I suppose.

Could have been hitchhiking, Pete.

Everyone hitchhikes in this town.

You gonna call the parents?

Her mom's been dead for a while. I'll go talk to her dad.

Send me that report as soon as you can, all right?

Hey, Dan.

I'm sorry. It's Joyce.

I'm sorry, Stan.

She's dead.

We don't know quite what happened. She was found down by this

creek over it.

I'm really sorry, Stan.

Find the bastard.

Find him, David.

Sixteen weeks you've been training to be a cop.

Working yourself half to death.

Sixteen weeks you've been training to be a cop.

And it's likely been the toughest 16 weeks of your lives.

But this, this is just the beginning.

And I ain't going to lie to you.

Ahead of you lies a tough road.

You will be challenged physically, emotionally.

You will be beaten down.

You will question, why are you doing this?

I hope we've instilled in you here today is that when you are at your worst, you

will still uphold your values, your integrity, your morality.

No matter what happens, you act your damn best.

Welcome to the Force.

There she is.

Don't you got more important things to do, David?

I gotta size up my new blues.

So, here for the free food, then?

Well, yeah, that's a big part of it, of course. But, um, no, it's not every day

your secretary graduates from the damn academy.

You don't got anyone to celebrate with, huh?

You know me.

Lone wolf.

Yeah.

Not even Carol, huh?

That's been years. I was hoping to say hello.

That job took her husband.

No way she's important at taking a daughter, too.

He never shut up about you, you know.

Your dad.

We'd be on a stakeout.

He'd regale me with tales of brave little Linda and the playground bully.

Yeah, well, old bastard was biased.

I'm just saying, he would have been really proud of you.

Annoyingly proud.

And he would have wanted you to have this.

It's his 20 -year service ring.

Just, um...

Try and make sure you don't get too wrapped up in it, you know?

Make sure that there's always something in your life that's not being a cop.

If the suggestion is I gotta date more, that is a hard no, detective.

I've retired from the whole thing.

Okay, yeah.

I just wanted to say, uh, welcome to the team, kid.

Come on.

Cake's on me.

Oh, okay.

Miss you, Dad.

It's been over six months since 24 -year -old Joyce Patterson has been seen

alive.

These sex workers usually hang out on the corner of 6th and Elm, the diner and

old truck stop along Route 60.

Another woman has been reported missing.

The working girls along Route 60 keep disappearing.

Law enforcement encourages anyone with information to come forward and assist

solving this heinous crime.

As the search for justice continues, our thoughts remain with the family and

loved ones of Joyce Patterson. Despite extensive investigations, authorities

have hit a roadblock.

Detective!

No suspects.

in the death of local girl.

No suspects.

It's been seven months, David.

Have a seat, Dad. Don't know.

My daughter has been dead for seven months. I know, and I am very sorry.

been trying our best. Try?

Yes. If you were trying, you would be out there talking to people.

We have been... You'd be out there every night looking for Joyce's killer. What

the hell are you doing?

We've interviewed every boyfriend, every friend, every colleague. We have

followed every lead to past exhaustion. I ran out of funds months ago. Funds?

Yes, funds. Great.

It just, it ain't easy, right? With her having been... What?

With her having been... Go ahead, say it. A whore?

You know I would never let that affect... the investigation, but people

here, they think that ladies who are in that line... No, no, no. They're putting

themselves in danger. Now, I know that's wrong, and it breaks my heart, but

there is nothing else I can do.

You're useless.

You're all useless.

If you're not going to find this monster, then I will.

Well, hey, thanks for the tour.

I've, you know, worked here for the past four years, but I appreciate the

refresher, Officer Pike.

Devin. You can call me Devin, Linda.

Officer Murphy.

No.

Officer Pike.

Oh, my God.

Lighten up, Linda.

Great. So when do I get to actually, you know, do something?

Well, at some point, a senior officer will partner with you and show you the

ropes. So when will that be?

Here's the thing.

We're kind of short on officers right now, to be honest.

I know. That's half the reason I quit being a secretary.

You busy?

You okay, boss?

You want a case?

Yes.

Here you go. That's larceny, maybe grand larceny. The address is right there.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

Thank you.

We're all counting on you, Murphy.

It's okay for you? Yes.

You've seen the inside of a courtroom, haven't you? There is a firm line there,

buddy. I'm talking small claims. You can go on the sidewalk.

Hey, I'm Officer Murphy.

We got a call?

Yes, finally.

I've been waiting three days.

Oh, sorry about that.

What's the nature of the crime? Oh, I will tell you the nature of the crime.

My dumbass neighbor has been stealing my mail. It's the nature of the crime.

It's Grand Narcy. I know my rights. My mail. It's my mailbox, you son of a

bitch. Hey, let's all just calm down.

Damn mailman is bringing my mail to you, and you've been taking it without

telling me. So, yeah, sometimes a man's got to take the law in his own hands.

You a real cop or a stripper?

Okay.

What's your name?

Well,

that was a great call.

You still got to fill out a report?

What's going on?

Couple found a body.

Prostitute, we think.

Pretty brutal. What's the location?

I'll meet you there.

No.

Hey,

Pete.

Danielle Parrish.

Mother of two.

History of prostitution.

She was tortured.

Wire cutters probably.

Killed with multiple hammer blows to the head.

Not a lot of blood, considering.

Killed her somewhere else and dumped her here.

What's all that?

Fibers.

She's covered in them.

Rug or carpet.

Hang on to when he killed her.

See if you can get a match to those tire tracks.

It's like a truck or a van, maybe.

Yeah.

Joyce Peterson all over again.

Cover her up. We have to press this here.

Hi there.

I made your lasagna recipe, but it maybe doesn't look right. There's something

going on with the noodle.

Call you back.

I can assure you we've got our best man on the case.

We will find this guy. Our boys won't let this town down.

I made you a lasagna. Linda, I'm still busy.

Just being nice.

You're never just being nice.

It's Carol's recipe.

What's with the noodles?

I don't... I don't know.

I heard the news coverage of the murder. What do you think happened to her?

I think it's above your pay grade.

I'm being underused.

I was more helpful as a secretary than I am as a cop. Male theft isn't why I

joined the force.

Hey there.

i'm neil carter fbi federal bureau yeah yeah i'm aware of the fbi

detective david goodman this is my office you were the one that made the

right oh yeah i made one seven months ago too but i never got any response

you have our attention now do you have more information murphy back to your

Listen, I'm sorry about that, but I've got to ask, how old are you, and how'd

you get this internship?

Well, I'm 28 years old, and I have a degree in criminology.

I'm an expert in surveillance, and I... I actually don't really care about that.

What I want to know is, are you going to help us with our serial killer?

Well, that's the thing.

The FBI isn't ready to classify it as a serial killer.

But... You've made a lot of calls, sent in a lot of letters, and I think my

superiors wanted me to come down and tell you you need to stop.

They got me at the hotel for a couple nights.

I can lend my expertise. Look, both of these women were strangled with wire.

They were bound by tape, tortured, hammer blows to the head. They were

within five miles of each other.

There was no sign of rape with either one of them.

No rape?

That's weird. Yes, both of these crimes are extremely weird.

Weird in exactly the same way.

We could use the FBI's help.

You've got me here for a few days, but we need three kills to call it a serial

killer.

Brenda, I heard you got clean.

Shouldn't believe everything you hear.

Well,

still, we were rooting for you.

Yeah, well, sorry to disappoint.

I'm heading up the road.

Bye.

See you.

Am I going to help with that?

Where do they hang out?

The women?

Spots along Route 60.

Parking lots, truck stops, side of the road, things like that.

You could send a girl in.

You know, go undercover, dress up like them, hang out there, see if she spots

anything suspicious.

And we don't have anybody trained to do that.

Another body.

Tortured. Like the others, it's exactly the same.

Where? Instruction site. First and out.

Goodman. Not now, Murphy. Hey, send me in.

Send me in.

Like Carter said, undercover.

You were eavesdropping.

You have no undercover training. You barely have regular training. You've

here for a week.

Who else are you going to get?

I'm sorry.

This is just absolutely not going to happen. Good man. Back to your desk.

Now.

This is a serial killer.

That's three bodies.

I guess you're extending your stay, huh?

Oh, my God.

It was a little charming at first, Linda, but I'm getting real tired of

you don't follow... Do you have any other leads?

I mean, anything at all?

What is the plan here?

Damn it, David, let me help them. They all look just like me. We can do it

safely. I can help.

But it's not a bad idea. It's the only idea.

This is awesome.

We're sending you out there for as little time as possible.

All right?

You engage with these men. The minute one of them starts acting strange or

matches the profile, we're going to run his tags.

We're going to put a surveillance team on him.

We're going to get you the hell out of there. I like this black.

Think I should make it permanent?

It does look nice. Focus up here.

There are rules you need to follow, okay?

Yeah, you know me. I love rules.

No, I mean it.

I mean it like I meant it when I said things like this to your dad.

You have to follow the rules.

I will. I promise.

Rule number one, never go anywhere without your gun.

We're hoping that you're not going to need it, but you've got to be ready.

be nearby, but not that close.

Rule number two, you're going to be wearing a wire.

So pump these guys for information.

The names, jobs, family lives, hobbies, all of it can be useful.

We'll be listening.

Keep them talking for as long as possible.

You never know where a lead might take us. Don't you worry.

I'm a charmer.

Try to get to know the women.

Girls like that, they have secrets.

That's how they survive.

They might know more than we think.

Make girlfriend.

Got it.

Rule number three.

Never, ever get into one of these vehicles. Ever.

So what? I just, like, chat with them?

Flirt? Pump them for information? And then what? Just... Turn them down?

Yep.

Sounds like my ex -girlfriend.

Who am I kidding? Sounds like all of my girlfriends.

Yeah. Wait.

What about the new technology you were talking about? The, uh, what is it? DNA?

Yeah. Don't I need to get close in order to extract? Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're

not extracting anything.

You're there to get leads, not evidence.

Aren't the girls going to get suspicious if I'm there all the time but I'm never

getting into any cars?

Well, tonight we'll have one of our guys pick you up.

Drive you around for a little while, drive you back off.

Hey, baby.

How you doing?

Do I get to pick the lucky bachelor?

You do not.

Okay, let's run it. Yeah, well, we've already run it a thousand times.

So we've run it a thousand and one.

What's your name?

Tara.

Hey, Tara.

I'm Shelly.

You live around here?

Yeah, just up 8th, past Corvallis.

Oh, sure.

You go to Fairview?

Uh, no, actually, I went to Central. Oh, my friend Dana went there.

You know Dana? Dana Gallagher?

Uh, I don't know.

Honestly, I dropped out early, so... Me too.

So what brings you our way?

I'm just trying to make some cash.

A lot of the parking lot's around, too.

This one's all filled up.

Okay.

None of us like competition.

I don't mind competition.

I just don't like her.

We're looking for a white male, 35 to 45, works construction or something like

it. He's probably a big guy, and he probably drives a big car. And wherever

takes these girls, there's blue carpet.

All the girls had blue carpet fibers all over them.

So remember to stick to the plan.

Get it?

Got it.

Let's go get this son of a bitch.

Hey, darling.

How's your night going?

Alright.

Aren't you going to tell me your name first?

I said how much, bitch.

Okay, I'm going in. What, what? No, no.

Give her a second before you ruin the whole operation.

Look, it depends on what you're looking for.

I can do all sorts of things. Are you charging by the damn word, or are you

going to get in the truck?

I don't know.

Get in the damn truck, you stupid whore, before I get out.

Get the hell out of here, Red.

What'd you say to me?

You heard me.

Get... Damn horse!

Welcome to Route 60, Tara.

Come on.

We're wasting our time.

We've been here a week.

Tell me about that DNA stuff again.

So basically, DNA is the individual genetic makeup of a person. I know what

is. You said you could use it to match evidence to a person.

Well, we've gotten pretty good at matching, say, blood to the person it

to.

So if we find our guy and our guy has blood splatter in his car, we can

it and... And connect it to a victim.

Potentially, yeah.

But it hasn't been used in court.

So I'd probably still rely on some good old -fashioned evidence.

Oh, I don't know.

So you're useless.

That feels like you're trying to take things out on me.

Like, it's new technology, so it may not be useful in court. Let me put that

another way.

The DNA thing might be useless.

Or very useful.

Okay. We can make our case.

We could, wouldn't we?

Thanks.

Yeah, and, uh... Oh, yeah, of course.

That's everything I got.

Yeah. You did great.

Keep the change.

See you next time.

That's what?

One guy in the last four hours?

Hey, I'm picky.

Hmm, wish I could afford the luxury of being picky.

Hey, hon, hon.

What happened to your eye?

Nothing.

I told you not to go home with Fred.

Don't need a lesson, Shelly.

Does he come around here often?

Yeah, once or twice a month.

Lives in that broken -down farm by Cravel's Burgers.

Wish it would just burn down with him.

Have you talked to the police?

You think Magnum P .I. is gonna show up to beat Red's ass?

Please don't give a damn about us.

That can't be true.

I know you've only been here a week, but this ain't really a good gig.

Some nights you make money.

Some nights you get punched in the face.

Some nights you meet the wrong guy and disappear.

Like Danielle did.

And you know what?

Nobody cares about us.

So no, I haven't told the police.

But they haven't asked either.

Nothing again.

God, can't I just be honest with them?

You should hear the way they talk about us, like we're the enemy. But if they

knew we were out there keeping them safe... This is undercover 101. You

reveal anything.

You tell them you're a cop, and you spook them.

They feel betrayed, so they stop talking to you. They start working other

places, and now we can't keep tabs on them. You're just putting them in more

danger.

Well, I am going home.

I know you've only been here a week, but this ain't really a good gig.

Some nights you make money.

Some nights you get punched in the face.

Some nights you meet the wrong guy and disappear.

Nobody cares about us.

No, I haven't told the police.

We told you not to go home with Red.

Lives in that broken down farm by Carvel's Burgers.

The hell are you?

Get back here!

Hey!

Get the hell out of here!

Get out of here!

Oh, no, you don't! Get back here!

I'm gonna kill you, bitch!

What time is it?

I don't know, four -ish.

David, we've got to let people know there's a serial killer out there.

Chief says no.

Regular folks, they can't handle knowing things like this.

They panic.

Still, we've got to warn them. We have to.

Especially the girls.

You might get spooked.

He might leave town. We'd never catch him.

These girls are out there every night.

For God's sakes.

We have to tell them there's someone out there hunting them.

Please.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm real glad you quit being a secretary.

Four weeks on this case, you look like a ten -year vet.

Hey, thanks.

You're gonna burn out if you keep going like this.

We got a call this morning.

From Red Hackley.

Saying a woman was trespassing on his property.

Who? You know exactly who Red Hackley is.

He's one of the guys that tried to pick you up on your first day.

And gave one of the girls a black eye.

Sounds like a lot of the guys out there. You go straight home at the end of the

night. I can't do that when he's still out there. If I hear that you've done

anything like this again, you're done.

Ready? Yeah. Where are we going? You are going back to your desk. What?

This is on us.

No, thanks.

Crystal, this is Neil Carter. Do you know who killed Joyce yet?

No. How about Danielle?

No.

But,

um...

He got another one.

Brenda O 'Connor.

You knew her, right?

Sure. We're whores.

We all know each other.

She's in my book club.

This is serious.

What else do you want me to say?

That she was a cokehead?

Fell behind on her bills?

A hooker drug addict?

Happy? No.

We're trying to find... No. You know what I think? I think Joyce died.

Almost a year ago.

And you don't got a lead.

And now a couple more girls die.

And your bosses want you to make a show looking for the killer.

You see, a dead hooker had it coming.

But a bunch of dead hookers?

Well, that'll get you into some papers, right?

I've been working on this case since the very beginning, Crystal. I want you to

know that. We work on it every day. He's the reason we got involved.

So you're just a bad detective.

Crystal, we just want to know if you've heard something.

Anything.

I guess one of the girls saw Brenda get into a van that night.

A van?

What color van?

Blue van.

Thank you, Crystal. Blue van.

That's very, very helpful.

You take care of each other out there, yeah?

She was a mom.

A good mom.

Loved Chinese food.

Real nice to everyone.

She wanted to get into fashion.

She was applying for school.

Joyce was too.

You know?

Plans.

They all had plans, just like regular people do.

Not dead bodies.

Real people with plans.

How long has that guy been out there?

Who cares?

A few hours. I think I've seen him before. A few hours.

I'm going to take a look.

Bring someone.

We're walking the devils now. No, I'm fine. I'm just going to check it out.

You got a knife?

I'm fine.

Hey, stop!

What? What are you, some kind of superhero all of a sudden?

Are you going to say something?

Sorry.

Let it go.

Come on.

Flash twice if you think this is a bad idea.

Yeah, me too.

Show me your hand!

Outside the window!

Open the door!

Get out!

Open the door!

Put the gun down!

Stan, what the hell are you doing here? What the hell are you doing? Look at me.

Look at me.

I'm not familiar with this particular part of Minnesota.

But is sitting in your car a problem here? It's not a crime, no. Hey, listen,

friends. I've been sitting in that car way, way too long.

We are all going to go to breakfast.

You drive my car.

I'll drive Stan's truck. We'll meet you there.

Let's go.

Shut up, Stan. Get in the car.

You know, she was such a sweet girl.

I know everyone says that about their daughter.

But Joyce... Honest to God, she was an angel.

I'm so sorry.

You know, I've been waiting almost a year for you to find him.

You haven't.

So I've been searching myself.

Doing what?

Drive up and down the route.

Watching the girls.

Making sure everyone's safe, I guess.

But they just keep dying.

Hey, it's okay.

It's okay.

We're on it now, okay?

We're on it now.

Take care, Mr. Patterson. Good night, Stan.

Well, I think it's time we all call it a night.

No.

No. Linda, please.

I'm going back out there, see if you can come or not.

I'm not going to let her go on her own.

You too.

Looks like you got yourself a regular.

What?

I guess.

You're John.

Same guy.

Yeah?

Never mind.

I like you, Tara, so I'm just going to trust my gut with you.

But be safe out there.

Yeah.

You

think

that was her at Ritz?

Linda's dad, Freddie, was my partner.

Decades ago, we had this case.

Serial rapists breaking into women's houses.

Anyway, we had a suspect.

Freddie figured he knew it was him, but we didn't have the evidence.

Freddie got tired of waiting.

Started tailing the guy.

Didn't tell his boss.

Didn't tell me. He just started doing it in his off hours.

What the chief found out, told him to stop.

The very next night, another girl gets assaulted.

Freddy went straight back to tailing the guy.

The case kind of ate him up.

He took weekends, he took time off work to follow this guy.

One night, the guy starts driving around and around.

I mean, hours leading Freddy all over town.

Finally, he stops at a red light.

Doesn't move.

Freddy was getting out of the car to go and see what was going on.

That guy looked right at him and blew his own brains out.

No. Yeah.

The assault stopped, though.

Freddie took it pretty hard. He was a good partner, but he only

lasted a few more years.

Gosh. Linda was just a kid.

Carol, his wife.

You know, it was hard on all of them.

But anyway, Linda, she's

exactly Freddie.

Hey. How's it going?

Plus twice. If you can hear me, this doesn't feel good.

Wait. Just wait.

I think he's back.

I'm going to move further away from the girls someplace quieter, see if I can

reel him in.

I don't like this.

Isn't this what we've been waiting for?

Yeah, that's why I don't like it.

He's not coming.

Oh, here he is.

I'm Kara. What's her name?

You been partying tonight or what?

Just a fight with my wife.

Oh, I'm sorry.

What do you do for a living?

Electrician.

Here we go.

Are you a cop?

No.

Are you a cop?

No.

You turn on the interior light. I want to make sure we're alone.

Blue carpet you got in here.

This is it.

We've got to go in. No, no, no. She knows what she's doing.

Why don't you get in?

I don't think so. I'm just a little high.

Partied a little too much tonight.

That's okay.

Come on.

Get in.

Another time.

Are you playing games with me?

No.

That was him.

That was him.

We'll run these to the lab.

See if they match the ones we found on the other girls.

You can do that here?

Well, there's not a lot we can do with that, yeah.

That we can.

And if they match?

If they match, it means the girls were in his van.

That was pretty intense back there.

It's strange.

You expect someone like that to be, I don't know, like... I don't know,

different somehow, but... To be honest, he seemed like half

the guys that come around the route, you know?

Nothing special about him.

Just another guy.

Stanley Andrew Wilson, white, 41, 6 '2",

182 pounds, history of odd jobs, currently an

electrician. He applied to the police academy and got rejected.

That, uh, says a lot about his competence.

Sorry. Uh, two kids, twin girls, some burglary at...

Decade ago.

Other than that, the record's clean.

Blue van.

Blue carpet interior.

Electrician. All of the women found within a five -mile radius are right

So that's him, yeah?

Yeah. That's him. That's our guy.

Shelly. I knew it. I freaking knew. Shelly. I knew there was more to you

going home with anyone.

Crystal thought you were a rich girl rebelling against Daddy, but I knew.

Shelly. You've been lying to us this whole time. No, no. I am just trying to

protect you. Yeah, right.

So what, you're going to make our lives harder after all this is over? No.

You're going to arrest us? No, none of that. None of that. I can't go to jail

again. Shelly, Shelly, I swear to you, I am just trying to find this guy.

Is it red?

No.

Damn.

Shelly, you and the girls, you have to stay off the streets.

You've been hanging out with us for weeks, and you're still not getting it.

We gotta... eat and... Yeah, I... So get some help and go to rehab. Just please

get off the streets.

If you can't, then at least just stay away for a couple of weeks, please.

I am begging you. We almost got the guy.

We're so close.

Look, if you absolutely have to, just promise me that you won't get into any

vans. Anything more specific?

Can I give you a ride?

Sure, Linda.

We've got plenty of leads, plenty.

So if you're listening, it's time to end this now. Turn yourself in, because if

you don't, we are coming for you.

I guess I'm just surprised.

Is that so?

Yeah, I mean, look, don't get me wrong.

I'm touched.

But to call me over any of your other friends.

Wait a minute.

Officer Murphy, you're not falling in love with me, are you?

Well, I'm trying very hard not to.

And I'm very much succeeding, so that's good.

Honestly, I just can't talk to my friends anymore.

Why not?

Uh, because I can't listen to them talk about their babies, and they can't

listen to me talk about murdered women.

Right, right, right.

And your mom?

Goodman mentioned her.

He tell you that story?

Yeah.

I mean, the assaults did stop, though.

Yeah, he told me.

Yeah.

She hasn't returned any of my calls since I joined the Academy.

Says I'm being stupid and selfish, like he was.

Hey.

I don't think he's selfish or stupid.

Oh, my God, Carter.

Are you falling in love with me?

What?

This might be a problem.

Cut it out.

No, but I get it, though.

Yeah,

I've avoided family life myself.

I think about coming home with all this.

How do you do that to someone?

Well, my dad's way of dealing with it was to just not tell either of us about

anything. That worked out great.

I'm really sorry, Linda.

He was a cop in Kentucky before he came here.

That's what really messed him up.

Moving here was a break.

See, that's...

That's why I'm not so sure being in the field is for me, you know, really

It's too bad I Do appreciate it,

you know You call him. Oh climbing the walls in my hotel room. So Thanks, of

course.

I Got it How about this I get this one and you get the one once we catch this

monster

Deal. All right.

Thank you.

Well, there's good news. The lab results came back.

The fibers match the ones on the girls.

They do?

So we can erect him.

It's not enough.

Fibers from his car were all over them. How is that not enough? Because they're

hookers.

Not you two.

They were in a lot of people's car.

They could have been with him before they were killed.

If we don't have the right kind of evidence and we move too fast, that's

Okay, what about the DNA, though? It won't work on the fibers.

We need blood.

Okay, so what next?

I'm going to tail him.

By yourself? What are you talking about? That's the new plan. That's what we're

going to do. No, no, no.

This is an all -hands -on -deck situation.

Our department is not the FBI. We don't have the training.

They'll figure it out.

Look, it's time for you to start trusting the people you work with.

You're not going to bring this guy in on your own, okay? We got to work together

on this.

Okay. Okay, we'll do it your way.

But if anyone gets hurt, that's on you.

Understood?

Understood. Great.

Please get the hell out of my office.

How do you kill a woman with a hammer and then kiss your daughters goodnight?

I don't know.

You think?

That or he just hates women.

You ever been on the stakeout before?

Not really, no.

Followed anyone before?

Nope.

You are a real FBI agent, though, right?

If Goodman and I have this bet going, that your gun is rubber.

What? Don't look at me. I bet that it was real.

My goodness, you and Goodman.

I have to guess he's drinking.

He gets with an incredible woman, I swear to God. Don't do anything until I

Oh my God.

Are you kidding?

Oh my God.

Mr. Kiddos.

Can I put on my shoes? Go on.

Carter here.

Murphy and I have been at it all day.

Ethan Bunny's in bed for the rest of the night.

Go home.

I'm sending backup.

You want to buy a girl a drink?

Sorry. I don't have to kill me if she knew I was talking to a hooker.

Oh, but she wouldn't mind you being in a bar by yourself at midnight?

I got a six -pack if you want a drink.

We can hang in my van.

but it'll cost you.

Nice jelly like the body for fibers. I'll break them

Do

I

know her oh damn it

I told her not.

Damn it, Shelly.

Oh, my God.

When did he get to her?

They're saying they figured the time of death was 2 to 3 a .m.

Right after we left. You said you were going to send someone after we did. You

were going to send someone. They got there 45 minutes later.

You said he was asleep.

We have to arrest him. We have to do it. We have to do it now. This has to stop.

You can't. We don't have a case. God, you've got to be kidding me.

He's right Linda we need to gather more evidence go home Linda take the day off

That's an order Linda go what are we doing? What are we doing? What the

hell are we doing here?

Her death is on us We did this

What we're about to do might be pretty new. This is a quiet place. We're used

picking up drunks and breaking up fights.

We're not exactly used to doing surveillance.

But thanks to Officer Murphy's quick thinking and those blue fibers that she

able to gather from Wilson's van, we got a judge to approve a warrant for us to

bug that van, which is great, except that we've never done that before.

But that's okay.

You're all here because I trust you, because you're good at your jobs.

So let's listen up to the FBI, and let's go get that

scumbag.

The key for this operation is speed styling goods.

We discovered an unpaid traffic violation on Wilson. We'll use that to

in.

Sir, step out of the vehicle, please.

This is ridiculous.

We can only keep him at the station for so long.

Okay, we want to be in and out. Ten minutes, boys. Ten minutes.

Yeah,

get it right up under that steering wheel.

You got it. Perfect.

Good.

Done. Come on.

Linda.

Then we wait and pray it all worked.

He's just gone into a bar.

A radio only leave.

Copy. I'm going to...

Am I gonna be okay?

I didn't know you were from somewhere.

No, I don't think so.

Am I familiar?

Uh, no.

You have your purse in the bar.

I know you.

Damn it. I made it.

I followed him into the bar.

Linda, you were supposed to be resting. No lectures, please. I wanted to make

sure he didn't... He's driving really weird. He's...

Mrs. Wilson and Detective Goodman are executing a warrant. Go on.

Is that enough blood for you, Mr. DNA?

It's a very new technology.

I keep telling them.

We have enough blood to potentially match it to one of the victims, but it's

going to take time.

How much time before we can... And again, we don't know if it's admissible

court. It's been used in two other criminal cases in the country, but not

sole piece of evidence.

If it's our only proof... What about the women's underwear? It's

uncircumstantial. Blood in his car.

So maybe he pays for this woman on Route 60. They have sex in the back of the

van, and maybe she's on her period. You can't keep blaming everything on the

fact that these women were prostitutes.

It's not enough to convict. But it'll help.

If we get a match, it'll go a long way.

Great, okay, so now what?

We keep following him.

But out in the open now. I mean, we have a man on him every minute of every day.

We don't let him out of our sight.

So, thank you very much, Dr. Mills.

Please let us know when you find something out.

I'll see you out.

Sit back down.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I should... Did you talk to him in the bar?

Yes. Yes.

What the hell did you think that was going to accomplish?

You not only put yourself in danger, you put everybody in that bar.

You put our whole case in jeopardy.

Listen to me carefully now.

You go off book one more time and you're done. And I don't mean you're just off

the case. I mean you're done working here.

Do I make myself clear?

Morning, officer.

Can I offer you a cup of coffee?

Hey, Officer Murphy, can I get you a cup of coffee?

You all right?

Hey.

Linda. Hey, hey.

Hey, what's going on?

Devin, can you take this over to Carter, please?

You've done everything you can do.

You've done more than I ever did in 40 years of policing.

So, um... I'm gonna take you off the case.

Temporarily. No.

Temporarily. No.

I need you to go home. And I need you to take a break.

I need you to sleep.

I can... I can...

Please, please,

please, Linda.

Please go home.

I promise you that it's going to be over soon.

We're going to get him.

Copy?

It's a match.

What? The DNA came back. It's a match to Shelly.

Son of a bitch!

Detective. Detective.

Linda, you're supposed to be resting.

Listen to me. I just saw Wilson pick up Crystal, one of the girls. He's in a

different car.

That's impossible.

Devin's at his house right now.

Well, it's Wilson. He's in a different car.

It's gray and silver. I'm following.

I need you to make sure it's him. I'm not blind.

It's him.

Where are you?

He just turned off at Apple Village.

Going into the back roads. Follow with a safe distance.

Carter and I are on the way. Do not engage.

Linda, do not engage.

meet again.

They're one of those hookers, right?

And they're a cop.

Wow.

A literal hooker with a heart of gold.

That's funny.

He's not here.

Damn it, Linda!

You killed him.

They're good people. Why did you kill those women?

I didn't want to kill them.

It wasn't the point at all.

I like the way that they screamed.

Every one of them a little bit differently.

They're broken little birds.

Honestly, them dying was the worst part.

I would have spent weeks with them if I could have.

Bitch I was so nice to you That's okay At least we still get to

have some fun

I've killed so many women.

But I killed them slowly.

I hurt them until they died.

If you don't kill me, I am going to do it again and again and again. Shut up,

you! Shut up! Kill me!

No, it's... It's what God would want.

Yeah, yeah.

Justice.

Justice for those women, right?

Right? Don't kill me.

For those girls.

Kill me, you dog whore!

You got the son of a bitch.

You finally got him.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, I got you.

Sorry to interrupt.

Oh, Mr.

Patterson. Thought you might be hungry.

Aw. I just want to say thank you.

Thanks, Ben.

So what do we got here? What you got here? Just wait a second, all right?

second. He's in charge. He's in charge. What's this one?

Hey.

So I heard you're finally getting yourself a new partner.

Was that what you heard?

I figured it was about time. Yeah, definitely.

Good luck finding someone as good as my dad, though.

Oh, I have.

Who?

Me.

Really? If you're interested.

Can I think about it?

Of course.

Look, I know it's been hard, but you got him.

Hey, David, um, thank you.

Just for everything.

Hey, you too.

So, I'm leaving, and I don't want you begging me to stay.

I got business in Virginia.

Bye, Carter.

Yep. And if you're interested, there's a place for you in the Bureau.

No field work, but you'd still be helping out.

Really? Yep.

Think about it.

Bye, Murphy.
