1
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,896
Where have you been?
I've been waiting since 7:00.

2
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:09,320
Get in.
I had to find fireworks.

3
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,820
Let me drive.

4
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:12,820
Get in.
I haven't eaten in 24 hours.

5
00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:17,570
Are you coming or not?

6
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:40,550
It's too crowded.

7
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,260
I thought you were starving.

8
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:46,270
Let's go someplace quiet.

9
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:48,770
Okay.

10
00:02:00,490 --> 00:02:02,160
What are we doing?

11
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,870
Sitting. Listening to music. Talking.

12
00:02:09,130 --> 00:02:11,090
You seem weird.
Is everything okay?

13
00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:12,840
Yeah, everything's fine.

14
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:23,560
It's July. How many shirts are you
wearing?

15
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:24,890
I'm cold.

16
00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:26,620
You're cold on the Fourth of July?

17
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:33,320
Fuck off and die!

18
00:02:39,610 --> 00:02:40,910
What?

19
00:02:40,990 --> 00:02:42,580
"Fuck off and die"?

20
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,580
Shut up.

21
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:12,940
Was that car at the drive-in?

22
00:03:15,690 --> 00:03:17,780
I saw that car at Mr. Ed's.

23
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,536
Do you want me to tell him to leave?

24
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:27,200
Stay in the car.

25
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,860
Was that your husband?

26
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:44,970
No.

27
00:03:49,140 --> 00:03:50,560
Who was that, Darlene?

28
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:54,020
Don't worry about it.

29
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,816
Don't tell me not to worry. Who was it?

30
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:57,570
It's nothing.

31
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:18,750
Oh, shit.

32
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:23,380
Let's go.

33
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:27,930
Now, D.

34
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:41,940
Get your wallet.

35
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:52,120
Man, you really creeped us out.

36
00:05:55,060 --> 00:05:56,436
<i>Vallejo Police Department.</i>

37
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,766
<i>I want to report a double murder.</i>

38
00:05:57,850 --> 00:05:59,686
<i>May I have your name
and where you are calling...</i>

39
00:05:59,770 --> 00:06:02,026
<i>If you go one mile east
on Columbus Parkway,</i>

40
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:05,780
<i>a public park, you'll find kids in a</i>
brown car.

41
00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:09,740
<i>They were shot with a 9mm Luger.</i>

42
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:12,030
<i>I also killed those kids last year.</i>

43
00:06:13,330 --> 00:06:15,540
<i>Goodbye.</i>

44
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:34,470
Spit.

45
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,060
{\an8}Come on, buddy.

46
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:38,640
{\an8}I swallowed it.

47
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:40,150
{\an8}Why?

48
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:42,190
{\an8}It was minty.

49
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:44,780
{\an8}You can't do that.
It's not good for you.

50
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:47,400
{\an8}Lunch box.

51
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:49,200
{\an8}Why am I not going on the bus?

52
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,740
{\an8}Because we're late.

53
00:06:52,490 --> 00:06:55,160
Okay, you're staying with your mom and
Aaron tonight.

54
00:06:56,450 --> 00:06:58,910
So, you don't like having a new little
brother?

55
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,170
No, not really.

56
00:07:00,250 --> 00:07:02,130
Oh, that's honest.

57
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:06,510
Learn a lot.

58
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,470
There will be a test tonight!

59
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:47,590
{\an8}Morning.

60
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,550
{\an8}Hi.

61
00:07:49,630 --> 00:07:50,880
{\an8}Good morning.

62
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,130
{\an8}Morning.
Morning.

63
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:14,910
{\an8}How's the coffee today,
Shorty?

64
00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:03,000
Editorial in two.

65
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:34,156
Good morning, gentlemen.

66
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,540
Good morning.
Good morning.

67
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:37,490
Well, Stanton, tell Mr. Howe

68
00:09:37,570 --> 00:09:40,120
the draft board piece
was damn near perfect.

69
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:42,790
Mr. Graysmith.

70
00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:45,710
Horrid.

71
00:09:45,790 --> 00:09:46,870
Horrid.

72
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,170
Not so horrid.

73
00:09:49,250 --> 00:09:51,216
Horrid. I'm thinking we go with not so
horrid.

74
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,220
Paul, what's on the crime beat?

75
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:01,180
Janice in Datebook left the fondue party
before everyone got naked.

76
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:02,720
That's a crime.

77
00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:05,680
Have you seen her?
Wouldn't kid you.

78
00:10:05,770 --> 00:10:09,100
It may be the beginning of a crime wave.

79
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:11,060
You need to see this.

80
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,070
Go get the publisher.

81
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,530
"Dear Editor,

82
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,536
"This is the murderer of the two
teenagers last Christmas at Lake Herman

83
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:25,706
"and the girl on the Fourth of July near
the golf course in Vallejo.

84
00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:27,210
"To prove I killed them,

85
00:10:27,290 --> 00:10:30,710
"I shall state some facts which only I
and the police know.

86

"Christmas, brand name of ammo, Super-X.

87
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:36,720
"Ten shots were fired.

88
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,470
"The boy was on his back
with his feet to the car.

89
00:10:39,550 --> 00:10:41,010
"The girl..."

90
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:47,180
Would you read that, please?

91
00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:50,270
"The girl was on her right side, feet to
the west.

92
00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:51,770
"Fourth of July.

93

"One, girl was wearing patterned slacks.

"Here is part of a cipher.

99

"I want you to print this cipher on the
front page of your paper.

100
00:11:12,330 --> 00:11:14,750
"In this cipher is my identity.

101
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,466
"If you do not print this cipher by the
afternoon of Fry,"

102
00:11:17,550 --> 00:11:23,390
F-R-Y, "First of Aug '69 I will go on a
kill rampage Fry night.

103

"until I end up with a dozen people over
the weekend."

106
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:35,360
It's unsigned except for a symbol.

107
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:40,200
Is it me, or does that look like a
gunsight?

108
00:11:41,740 --> 00:11:43,620
Today's August first.

109
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,196
He wants his code
in the afternoon edition.

110
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,116
If the <i>Examiner</i> doesn't have the balls to
run it, we scoop the Bay.

111
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,246
Al, this man is talking about
shooting 12 people.

112
00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:52,086
And not running this
might make him do that.

113
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:54,416
If we run it, we might be setting a very
dangerous precedent.

114
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:56,086
Oh, come on, now, it's newsworthy.

115
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:58,760
Well, giving some sick bastard a soapbox,

116
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,046
what does that say to people?

117
00:12:00,130 --> 00:12:03,550
Back up. Is this Vallejo story true? Do
we know that?

118
00:12:03,550 --> 00:12:06,300
Paul?
What? I cover crime in Vallejo?

119
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,830
Yeah, I cover crime in Vallejo.
Ten minutes.

120
00:12:09,890 --> 00:12:11,590
Let's shoot the code and call SFPD.

121
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,440
If it turns out to be real, at least
we'll have the material.

122
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:17,980
All right.

123
00:12:18,070 --> 00:12:20,490
Graysmith, don't you have that cartoon
to finish?

124
00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:21,860
Oh, yeah.

125
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,496
Hi, this is Paul Avery from
the <i>San Francisco Chronicle.</i>

126
00:12:30,580 --> 00:12:33,880
I'm looking for someone to shed some
light on a letter we received.

127
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,130
Thank you.

128
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,130
Sergeant Mulanax.

129
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:39,166
<i>Sergeant, Paul Avery from
the San Francisco Chronicle.</i>

130
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:40,176
I just wanted to check

131
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,086
if you had an unsolved
firearm-related homicide

132
00:12:42,170 --> 00:12:45,220
on Christmas and maybe one on July fourth.

133
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:46,800
Shit.

134
00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:48,390
You guys got one, too?

135
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:52,520
Confirmed. VPD,
they confirmed the shootings.

136
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,686
AI's on the phone with the <i>Examiner.</i>

137
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:55,316
They got the same letter
with a different code.

138
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,400
So did <i>Times-Herald.</i>

139
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,816
Christmas, two teenagers
on lover's lane. Both DOA.

140
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,530
David Faraday and Betty Jensen.

141
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:03,110
July fourth,
Darlene Ferrin and Michael...

142
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,326
I think it's "Mayhew." Anyway, he lived,
she didn't.

143
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:06,450
The murder weapons?

144
00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:09,330
Ballistics, everything he said in the
letters matched.

145
00:13:09,410 --> 00:13:12,120
I mean, I think the <i>Times-Herald's</i> gonna
go with it.

146
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,290
<i>The Examiner's</i> going,
but won't go front page.

147
00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:19,750
I say let's go front page. If he kills
12 people, it's not our fault.

148
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,130
Robert!
We need the cartoon.

149
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:25,720
You're not finished?

150
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,650
No, I'm finished, Carol.
I'm finished.

151
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:29,680
Thieriot's still here.

152
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,220
Really?

153
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:34,810
The first edition is off the floor in
10, Charles.

154
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:39,520
Give us a sec.

155
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:44,400
Okay, re-plate.

156
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,450
We'll go on page...
Page four.

157
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:51,950
What do you say, 20 bucks whoever cracks
the psycho's name?

158
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,910
He won't give his name.

159
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,250
Morti's? Anyone?

160
00:13:57,330 --> 00:13:59,630
PAUL: That's where I'm heading. MAN: All
right.

161
00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:28,450
Put those on my desk.
Turn on the light.

162
00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:41,380
Grab your book.

163
00:14:44,090 --> 00:14:46,380
Now go get your jammies on.

164
00:14:49,180 --> 00:14:50,970
<i>All right, people, listen up.</i>

165
00:14:51,050 --> 00:14:56,270
{\an8}The cipher's broken into three sections,
each with eight lines and 17 symbols.

166
00:14:56,350 --> 00:14:58,896
{\an8}No breaks between the symbols
denoting different words.

167
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:01,520
{\an8}No numbers or clues to substitution keys.

168
00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:04,460
{\an8}And you got symbols from at least seven
different sources.

169
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,650
{\an8}Greek, Morse code, Navy semaphore,
weather symbols, astrological signs.

170
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:17,500
{\an8}Hey, take a gander at this code thing.

171
00:15:17,580 --> 00:15:19,120
{\an8}Okay.

172
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,460
{\an8}You wanna give it a go?

173
00:15:27,340 --> 00:15:30,346
{\an8}Guy who used to sit there was a
great cartoonist. Bob Bastian.

174
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:34,010
{\an8}Now he's doing public television. For
some reason.

175
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:36,640
Paul Avery.

176
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,020
Uh... Robert Graysmith.

177
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,350
Uh-huh.
I've been here nine months.

178
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:46,356
You were right, by the way.
He didn't give his name.

179
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Who cracked it?

180
00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:49,990
A history teacher and his wife in Salinas.

181
00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:53,200
"I like killing people
because it is so much fun.

182
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,330
"It is more fun than killing wild game in
the forest

183
00:15:57,410 --> 00:16:01,960
"because man is the most dangerous
animal of all to kill.

184
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,580
"Something gives me the most thrilling
experience.

185
00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:08,880
"It is even better than getting your
rocks off with a girl.

186
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,680
"The best part of it is that when I die,

187
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,600
"I will be reborn in paradise.

188
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,060
"And all that I have killed
will become my slaves.

189
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:22,890
"I will not give you my name because you
will try to slow down

190
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:26,150
"or stop my collecting of slaves for my
afterlife."

191
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:28,236
Methinks our friend's a tad bit fuckered
in the head.

192
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,490
I heard he even sent Vallejo
a code key, just to help.

193
00:16:32,570 --> 00:16:33,656
What is that at the bottom?

194
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:34,950
Leftovers.

195
00:16:35,030 --> 00:16:36,410
Maybe an anagram.

196
00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:56,140
How does one do that?

197
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:58,350
I like puzzles.
I do them a lot.

198
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,640
How did you know he wasn't gonna give
his name?

199
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,190
Dangerous animal.

200
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:08,480
Dangerous animal.

201
00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:11,480
What dangerous animal?
How do I know that?

202
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:20,540
Paul.
Yes, Templeton.

203
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:22,700
Editorial, now.
Very well.

204
00:17:24,750 --> 00:17:26,330
Another letter.

205
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:28,080
More of the same.

206
00:17:28,170 --> 00:17:30,630
Details about the murders.

207
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:34,800
He taped a flashlight to the gun. That's
how he hit them in the dark.

208
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760
And he gave himself a name.

209
00:17:58,070 --> 00:18:01,410
You know this used to be
the town of Montecello?

210
00:18:01,490 --> 00:18:02,660
But at some point,

211
00:18:02,740 --> 00:18:05,910
the county decided that the land would
work better as a lake.

212
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,750
So they flooded it.

213
00:18:09,170 --> 00:18:10,206
But there's an entire...

214
00:18:10,290 --> 00:18:12,710
Hidden city under the water.

215
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,550
We were here last spring, remember?

216
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:16,380
Oh, yeah.

217
00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:24,600
Somebody else is here.

218
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,430
It is a public park.

219
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,190
I think he's watching us.

220
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:33,360
Well, we're very good-looking.

221
00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:40,620
Where'd he go?

222
00:18:43,410 --> 00:18:45,080
He went behind that tree.

223
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,580
All right.
So he's taking a leak.

224
00:18:54,340 --> 00:18:56,460
He's coming towards us.

225
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,510
Oh, my God, he has a gun.

226
00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:02,760
Don't move.

227
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:04,600
I want your money and your car keys.

228
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,180
Okay.

229
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:07,920
We're not gonna do anything, okay?

230
00:19:07,930 --> 00:19:11,270
We're gonna cooperate. Just tell me what
you want us to do.

231
00:19:15,610 --> 00:19:16,690
Here.

232
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:21,490
You're welcome to everything I have.

233
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:27,450
If there's anything else
I could do for you...

234
00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:29,870
Maybe I could write you a check?

235
00:19:32,330 --> 00:19:35,420
Okay, I could give you my phone number.

236
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,260
You know, I might be able to help you.

237
00:19:38,340 --> 00:19:40,430
Even more than you might think.

238
00:19:40,510 --> 00:19:42,840
He's a sociology major.

239
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,720
Pre-law, actually.

240
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:50,350
Oh, keys.

241
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,686
You know, I'm sorry, I don't know
exactly where I put my keys.

242
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:55,770
They might be on the blanket. Is it okay
if...

243
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,910
Here's the keys.

244
00:20:03,530 --> 00:20:05,280
Don't get up.

245
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:07,370
I want her to tie you up.

246
00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:12,790
Okay.

247
00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:33,646
You know, if he comes any closer,

248
00:20:33,730 --> 00:20:35,356
I might be able to get that gun.

249
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,860
Don't get any ideas.

250
00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:38,110
I'm not.

251
00:20:38,190 --> 00:20:40,780
I killed a guard escaping from prison in
Montana.

252
00:20:40,860 --> 00:20:42,450
I'm not doing anything, okay?

253
00:20:42,530 --> 00:20:44,910
I'm not afraid to kill again.

254
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,740
Look away.

255
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,420
What was the name of that prison?

256
00:21:01,170 --> 00:21:03,130
Hey, you said it was in Montana, right?

257
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,340
I'm taking your car.

258
00:21:06,430 --> 00:21:08,550
I'm going to Mexico.

259
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,930
We didn't complain
when you tied our hands.

260
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:13,020
Okay, you have everything that I have.

261
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:15,730
We have done everything that you've asked.

262
00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:17,230
It's okay. It's okay.

263
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,610
She tied you loose, didn't she?

264
00:21:22,610 --> 00:21:24,860
Get on your stomach
so I can tie your feet.

265
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,280
Okay. It gets really cold out here at
night.

266
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:28,950
We could freeze.

267
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,580
Okay, you all done?

268
00:21:41,170 --> 00:21:42,876
You know, just because people are gonna
ask,

269
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,880
was that thing even loaded?

270
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:57,730
It's okay.

271
00:21:57,810 --> 00:22:00,360
This is all gonna be okay.

272
00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:32,760
<i>Dispatch, this is 43L2, heading</i>
south <i>on Knoxville Road.</i>

<i>They are two miles north

277

<i>They were in a white Volkswagen</i>

00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:08,800
<i>I'm the one that did it.</i>

<i>Piner's ambulance has been dispatched.</i>

281

Boy lived, the girl didn't. Again.

282
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:19,186
God, can you imagine surviving something
like that?

283
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:20,726
Writing the dates on the side of the car.

284
00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:24,360
We got two Vallejo killings, now there's
one in Napa. Why Napa?

285
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,946
What the hell is he doing out of Vallejo?

286
00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:29,650
Sweet mother of Christ,
what are you drawing?

287
00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:31,200
Kid at the lake.

288
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,116
This is what he said
the Zodiac was wearing.

289
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,496
God, that's a hell of a get-up.

290
00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:37,280
Paul, what are you doing? Hyman, I wrote
it. It's done.

291
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:38,496
Now I just got to type it up.

292
00:23:38,580 --> 00:23:40,836
Type it up? It's not finished until you
type it up.

293
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,170
We've got to read it.

294
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,010
What's that? That's the Zodiac at the
lake.

295
00:23:48,090 --> 00:23:49,540
What's the story with the kid?

296
00:23:49,550 --> 00:23:51,720
He seems a little touched or medicated or...

297
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,260
Graysmith?
Yeah, what is it?

298
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:54,760
He's a fucking boy scout.

299
00:23:54,850 --> 00:23:57,266
He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he
doesn't curse.

300
00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:58,680
And he's back.
I knew it.

301
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:00,226
Knew what? "Man is the most dangerous
animal of all."

302
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:01,516
I knew that I heard that from somewhere.

303
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,606
<i>The Most Dangerous Game.</i>
What's the most...

304
00:24:03,690 --> 00:24:06,690
It's a movie about a Count
who hunts people for sport.

305
00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:07,650
People.

306
00:24:07,730 --> 00:24:09,940
<i>The Most Dangerous Game.</i>

307
00:24:10,450 --> 00:24:11,650
Who's that?

308
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:13,240
That's Count Zaroff.

309
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,620
Zaroff?
With a "Z"?

310
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:19,706
<i>And that will be
all for the news on the 20.</i>

<i>Heck no, he's only shooting those</i>
farm kids.

316
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:37,720

319
00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:44,316
<i>You know, I think
that was really offensive.</i>

320
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,860
<i>It's not just farm kids.</i>

321
00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:47,900
<i>These are nice, clean-cut young people.</i>

322
00:24:47,980 --> 00:24:50,566
<i>Hey, nobody's downplaying</i>
the loss <i>of human life here, Alfred.</i>

323
00:24:50,650 --> 00:24:52,530
<i>Well, that last guy was.</i>

324
00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:55,530
<i>We have good solid communities out here</i>
in the North Bay.

325
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:59,040
<i>Unlike in the city where you have</i>
Satanists running around.

326
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,790
<i>Well, you bring up a good</i>
question. <i>Is the Zodiac a Satanist?</i>

327
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:04,586
<i>Amber from Oakland, what do you think?</i>

328
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:06,290
<i>I don't really know,</i>

329
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:08,756
<i>but I thought that code they printed</i>
didn't <i>look very Christian.</i>

330
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,796
<i>But I think the bigger problem is that</i>
the papers <i>shouldn't have printed</i>

331
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,546
<i>anything that the Zodiac has been doing.</i>

332
00:25:13,630 --> 00:25:16,930
<i>That they're just printing all that</i>
stuff <i>to sell more newspapers.</i>

333
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:19,346
<i>Well, the Zodiac did demand</i>
they print his letters

334
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:20,770
<i>or he'd kill more people.</i>

335
00:25:20,850 --> 00:25:22,096
<i>Yeah, but he would have done it</i> anyway,

336
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:23,936
<i>whether they printed it or not, I think.</i>

337
00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:25,620
<i>An interesting point.</i>

338
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:27,900
<i>So, what do you think he'll do next?</i>

339
00:25:48,420 --> 00:25:49,756
<i>San Francisco
Police Department.</i>

340
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,710
<i>Yes.
There's a fight in a cab!</i>

341
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,046
<i>What is your location?</i>

342
00:25:53,130 --> 00:25:56,430
<i>3398 Washington, at the corner of Cherry.</i>

343
00:25:56,510 --> 00:25:58,256
<i>One's drunk and we think he's robbing him.</i>

344
00:25:58,340 --> 00:25:59,970
<i>Is the crime still in progress?</i>

345
00:26:00,050 --> 00:26:01,680
<i>Yes, please hurry.</i>

346
00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:05,210
<i>Oh, my God, look!</i>

347
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,000
Nuts!

348
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,546
Whoever this is, you owe me a new lamp.

349
00:26:33,630 --> 00:26:35,886
<i>Cabbie's been shot three</i>
blocks <i>from the Presidio.</i>

350
00:26:35,970 --> 00:26:37,010
Mmm-hmm.

351
00:26:37,090 --> 00:26:38,886
Well, it wasn't me. I've been with my
bride all night.

352
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:41,720
She can vouch.
Go put on the Folgers.

353
00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:43,640
<i>You'll pick me up?</i>

354
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,170
Let me just describe
the lamp you're gonna buy me.

355
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:55,650
I just got to sleep.

356
00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,240
Suspect's Negro, male adult.

357
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,120
Walt's on scene, locked up the cab and
secured the crowd.

358
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,076
Seriously, dead asleep. I lost feeling
in my arm and everything.

359
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,700
Crackers.

360
00:27:08,210 --> 00:27:09,830
You ever try
Japanese food?

361
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,500
What do you mean, like teriyaki?

362
00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:12,880
No, like the urchin.

363
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,050
Raw fish.
I'm eating here, Bill.

364
00:27:16,670 --> 00:27:18,010
I always wanted to try it.

365
00:27:18,090 --> 00:27:19,680
So, why don't you?

366
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,760
Haven't got around to it.

367
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,610
Evening, gents. What a lovely night for
a botched robbery.

368
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,280
Yeah, third this week.
Must be end of summer rush.

369
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:46,540
I got foot patrols going through the
park, dogs are on the way.

370
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:50,920
The victim's name is Paul Stine.
Dousette pronounced him at 10:10.

371
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,126
Suspect fired one shot
to the back of the head.

372
00:27:53,210 --> 00:27:55,210
Driver's wallet and car keys are missing.

373
00:27:55,210 --> 00:27:56,256
How'd you know his name?

374
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:59,170
Leroy, there, came down
from Yellow Cab to ID him.

375
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:00,966
Neighborhood's pretty high-end for this
kind of thing,

376
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:03,260
so I already set up transpo for the cab.

377
00:28:03,340 --> 00:28:04,800
Coroner's here.
Any witnesses?

378
00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:07,930
Kids who called it in saw the suspect
from that window.

379
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,810
Did they hear a shot?
No.

380
00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:11,186
They first saw him in the front seat,

381
00:28:11,270 --> 00:28:13,186
thought he was a drunk
fighting with the driver.

382
00:28:13,270 --> 00:28:16,066
Oldest kid ran downstairs to get a
better look from the dining room,

383
00:28:16,150 --> 00:28:18,150
described him as a white male, glasses,

384
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:20,440
crew-cut, stocky,
and wearing a dark jacket.

385
00:28:20,530 --> 00:28:22,580
Wait, I thought someone said he was black.

386
00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:24,366
That's the description
that went out to radio cars.

387
00:28:24,450 --> 00:28:25,650
We already corrected it.

388
00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:27,410
Oh, well, that's good.

389
00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:28,656
You guys need anything else?

390
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:29,870
No. Get out of here.

391
00:28:29,950 --> 00:28:31,910
Thanks. Happy Birthday.

392
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,790
Wait, it's your birthday?

393
00:28:33,870 --> 00:28:34,710
Yep.

394
00:28:34,790 --> 00:28:36,086
That's great.
Happy birthday.

395
00:28:36,170 --> 00:28:37,170
Thanks.

396
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:38,090
Body or scene?

397
00:28:38,170 --> 00:28:40,070
It's your birthday,
I'll take the body.

398
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:42,296
Dave, looks like he wiped the cab down
pretty good.

399
00:28:42,380 --> 00:28:43,880
We got some blood over here.

400
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:44,840
Prints?

401
00:28:44,930 --> 00:28:46,806
Could very well be.
We'll dust it at the Hall.

402
00:28:46,890 --> 00:28:49,600
The odd thing is, we also got gloves.

403
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,480
Suspect's?
There's blood on them.

404
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,646
- Hey, Pete?
- Yeah, Dave.

405
00:28:54,730 --> 00:28:56,186
You through over there,
can I get in there?

406
00:28:56,270 --> 00:28:57,730
Yeah, I'm all set.

407
00:28:58,690 --> 00:29:00,740
Who rolled him?
Stewarts.

408
00:29:07,030 --> 00:29:09,830
I got a single 9mm casing.

409
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,790
Yeah, Luger.

410
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Nothing from the crowd.

411
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,880
Okay. I'm your shooter, Negro male adult,

412
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,510
who also happens to be
a stocky, crew-cut Caucasian.

413
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:26,970
I flag a cab.
I give him this address.

414
00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:29,850
Did I give him this address?
Who's got the fare book?

415
00:29:29,930 --> 00:29:31,270
Right here.

416
00:29:33,390 --> 00:29:36,480
Washington and Maple.
That's one block east.

417
00:29:57,580 --> 00:29:58,796
Lighting's the same over here,

418
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,300
so maybe I see someone walking their dog.

419
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:04,216
You don't want any witnesses so you tell
him to go down a block.

420
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,300
He pulls over.

421
00:30:05,380 --> 00:30:07,216
I wait for him to put it in park because
I'm smart

422
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:08,926
and I don't want him
hitting the accelerator

423
00:30:09,010 --> 00:30:10,390
when I shoot him. May I?

424
00:30:10,470 --> 00:30:12,390
He stops, puts it in park, boom.

425
00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:15,390
I shoot him on the right side, he slumps
right?

426
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,726
Maybe you've got your hand
on his collar when you shoot.

427
00:30:17,810 --> 00:30:18,976
All right. So, either way,

428
00:30:19,060 --> 00:30:20,736
I just dumped a quart of blood in the
front seat.

429
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:22,620
So, why do you get in the front seat?

430
00:30:22,650 --> 00:30:23,820
For the money.

431
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:25,150
But he's dead.

432
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,906
You could just reach over the seat, pull
out his wallet.

433
00:30:26,990 --> 00:30:29,076
You don't have to go
anywhere near the blood.

434
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,910
So, why'd he get in the front seat?

435
00:30:31,990 --> 00:30:33,616
I'm an idiot.
But you're not an idiot.

436
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:35,500
You waited for him to put it in park.

437
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:36,750
Right. Thank you.

438
00:30:36,830 --> 00:30:38,080
Yeah, sure.

439
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:41,840
Can I see that?
Yeah.

440
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,840
I am an idiot. I just killed a man for
$8.25.

441
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,130
It's his third fare of the night. Does
anyone have any animal crackers?

442
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:51,300
Animal crackers?

443
00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:52,600
They're in the car.

444
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,220
I'm saving those for later.

445
00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:56,020
Fine.

446
00:31:00,350 --> 00:31:01,186
Are you a reporter?

447
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:04,190
No, I'm Inspector
Dave Toschi, SFPD.

448
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,816
Sir, I was wondering if I'd be able to
talk to your children,

449
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:09,150
one at a time and preferably alone?

450
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,950
They just saw a man murdered.

451
00:31:11,030 --> 00:31:12,950
Mmm-hmm. I understand.

452
00:31:13,030 --> 00:31:14,786
It looked like
they were drunk and fighting.

453
00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:16,370
Yeah, and he had a rag.

454
00:31:16,370 --> 00:31:18,626
He came around the side of the
car and he was wiping stuff.

455
00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:20,510
Did you get a chance to see his face?

456
00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:22,130
I did.

457
00:31:22,210 --> 00:31:23,540
Well, sort of.

458
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,460
Did you remember what he looked like?

459
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:29,800
Normal.

460
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,140
Yeah.

461
00:31:31,220 --> 00:31:32,430
"Normal?"

462
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,790
<i>"This is the Zodiac speaking.</i>

463
00:31:56,870 --> 00:31:58,950
<i>"I am the murderer of the taxi driver</i>

464
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,500
"over by Washington Street
and Maple Street last night.

465
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:05,376
"To prove this, here is a blood-stained
piece of his shirt.

466
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:10,220
"I am the same man who did in the people
in the North Bay Area.

467
00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:12,760
"The S.F. Police could have
caught me last night

468
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,636
"if they had searched the park properly

469
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,970
"instead of holding road races with
their motorcicles."

470
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:19,600
Gentlemen.
Dave.

471
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,140
Paul.
Where's the shirt?

472
00:32:22,850 --> 00:32:24,560
Right there, boss.

473
00:32:25,770 --> 00:32:27,356
There's your rag the kids talked about.

474
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,446
So he got in the front seat to tear off a
piece of the shirt.

475
00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:30,630
Is this on the record?

476
00:32:30,650 --> 00:32:31,950
Well, what do you think?

477
00:32:32,030 --> 00:32:34,410
He confirms the Vallejo and Napa killings.

478
00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:35,740
Gets worse.

479
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:37,620
Robert, do you have a deadline?

480
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:39,450
What does he mean, it gets worse?

481
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,460
Read the last part.

482
00:32:41,540 --> 00:32:43,960
"School children make nice targets.

483
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,206
"I think I shall wipe out
a school bus some morning.

484
00:32:46,290 --> 00:32:48,130
"Just shoot out the front tire

485
00:32:48,210 --> 00:32:50,466
"and then pick off the kiddies
as they come bouncing out."

486
00:32:50,550 --> 00:32:53,136
Jesus Christ, who's got school buses?
Department of Transportation?

487
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:55,260
School board.
All right.

488
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:57,426
I'm gonna need elimination prints from
your staff.

489
00:32:57,510 --> 00:33:00,470
Has anyone here didn't touch this letter?

490
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,816
On my way back to my desk. They have
phones, if you want.

491
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:08,566
We need to get matches
on blood and fabric.

492
00:33:08,650 --> 00:33:09,856
I'll call Napa and Vallejo,

493
00:33:09,940 --> 00:33:11,736
get the letters up to Sherwood in
Sacramento.

494
00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:15,240
Dave, just one thing. Is it true they
got a print off the cab?

495
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,160
Yeah, we got a partial in blood.

496
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,870
But that is not for publication.

497
00:33:19,950 --> 00:33:21,370
Hey, hey, come on.

498
00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:24,040
Hey, it's me.

499
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,250
Did he say they got a print?

500
00:33:27,420 --> 00:33:28,670
Partial.

501
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:30,670
Whoa.

502
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,336
Dude, he wears his gun like Bullitt.

503
00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:35,930
No, McQueen got that from Toschi.

504
00:33:36,010 --> 00:33:37,596
Does he think that Zodiac's
gonna send another code?

505
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,516
'Cause I think Zodiac's
gonna send another code.

506
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,850
Jesus Harold Christ
on rubber crutches, Bobby.

507
00:33:41,930 --> 00:33:43,060
What are you doing?

508
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:44,516
You're doing that thing,
the thing we discussed,

509
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,980
the thing that I don't like.
Starts with an "L."

510
00:33:47,060 --> 00:33:48,980
Oh, looming.
Yeah.

511
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:51,980
In cooperation with SFPD,
we will run the Zodiac letter

512
00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:54,780
without including the threat
on school children.

513
00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:56,576
We don't want to start a city-wide panic

514
00:33:56,660 --> 00:34:00,120
so I'm asking all of you to please keep
this confidential.

515
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,450
Just go about your daily business.

516
00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:03,700
Thank you.

517
00:34:19,550 --> 00:34:22,386
I packed you your carrots and your soda
and peanut butter, okay?

518
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:24,430
Dad, you don't have to wait with me.

519
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,770
I know.

520
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:34,650
You know what?
You know what?

521
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:36,570
I'm gonna drive him today, okay?

522
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,570
Come on.

523
00:34:56,590 --> 00:34:58,260
What's that?

524
00:34:58,340 --> 00:35:00,720
Similarities in the lowercase "r's."

525
00:35:10,060 --> 00:35:11,230
And that?

526
00:35:11,310 --> 00:35:13,486
It is you waiting in the hall if you
speak again.

527
00:35:13,570 --> 00:35:15,230
I have to concentrate.

528
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:16,780
Sorry.

529
00:35:16,860 --> 00:35:18,820
"Sorry" counts as speaking.

530
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:32,670
There are similarities
in the lowercase "r's."

531
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:39,170
We have to release the bus threat.

532
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,050
It'll screw us.

533
00:35:41,140 --> 00:35:42,390
We're already screwed.

534
00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:44,890
We just went from
"Routine Cabbie Shooting"

535
00:35:44,970 --> 00:35:47,140
to "Mass Murderer
Targets Kids."

536
00:35:54,980 --> 00:35:57,900
<i>The Zodiac Killer
has come to San Francisco.</i>

537
00:35:57,990 --> 00:35:59,040
<i>Confirmation tonight,</i>

538
00:35:59,110 --> 00:36:00,946
<i>from the San Francisco
Police Department</i>

539
00:36:01,030 --> 00:36:02,870
<i>that in his latest haunting letter,</i>

540
00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:06,370
<i>which takes credit for the murder of cab</i>
driver Paul Stine,

541
00:36:06,450 --> 00:36:09,660
<i>the Zodiac has threatened to,
"Wipe out a school bus</i>

542
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:12,880
<i>"and pick off the kiddies
as they come bouncing out."</i>

543
00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:19,420
<i>If you think you might know
who the Zodiac is,</i>

544
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:22,930
<i>you can call the San Francisco Police</i>
Department's <i>newest tip line.</i>

545
00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:49,580
Press conference is at 4:00. We got to
give them something.

546
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:51,660
We're coordinating with the school board,

547
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,536
and we expect a break in the case very
soon.

548
00:36:53,620 --> 00:36:55,500
What do we really got?
We're swamped.

549
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:56,836
When they can't get anyone on the tip line

550
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,796
they call the switchboard
and keep getting put through.

551
00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,966
You got any hard suspects?

552
00:37:00,050 --> 00:37:02,470
About 90 an hour.
I'm up to around 500.

553
00:37:02,550 --> 00:37:03,926
Well, can't you narrow it down?

554
00:37:04,010 --> 00:37:05,886
I would love to, if I
could get out of this...

555
00:37:05,970 --> 00:37:07,300
Homicide, please hold.

556
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:09,430
Yeah, hold, please.

557
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:11,396
We're gonna need to tell them we got the
entire force on this.

558
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,880
How many men can you give me?

559
00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:15,186
Well, right now, it's you and Bill and
Monday's a school day.

560
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:17,276
Yeah, I know, Chief. I have three
daughters of my own.

561
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,526
Yeah, I know.
Where's Armstrong?

562
00:37:18,610 --> 00:37:20,820
He's on the phone with Vallejo.

563
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:22,650
We're playing catch up, Jack.

564
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:25,236
I'd like to set up a meeting with your
survivor, Michael Mageau.

565
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,620
I can't. He skipped town.

566
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,660
The only guy who's seen Zodiac without a
mask is missing?

567
00:37:29,740 --> 00:37:32,576
When he was still in the hospital we
could show him lineups all day long.

568
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:34,210
As soon as he got out, he split.

569
00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:35,580
<i>Really? Why?</i>

570
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:37,836
I don't think he wanted to have anything
to do with this.

571
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,130
<i>Can you send us everything that you</i> have?

572
00:37:40,210 --> 00:37:42,760
Well, the road goes both ways.

573
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,180
Now, we need that print
you lifted from the cab

574
00:37:46,260 --> 00:37:48,216
<i>and we should have been in
on the handwriting.</i>

575
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:50,390
I apologize. Things have been moving fast.

576
00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:53,230
<i>Who should I talk to in Napa so we can</i>
coordinate?

577
00:37:53,310 --> 00:37:54,560
Talk to Ken Narlow.

578
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,476
We really should have been in
on the handwriting.

579
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,190
<i>I apologize. Things have been</i> moving fast.

580
00:37:59,270 --> 00:38:00,736
<i>Listen, we're gonna need
your scene photos.</i>

581
00:38:00,820 --> 00:38:01,940
Can't help you.

582
00:38:02,030 --> 00:38:03,906
<i>Ken, I don't want to get into a</i>
jurisdictional thing here.

583
00:38:03,990 --> 00:38:06,410
No, no, no, no, no. We didn't have a
crime scene.

584
00:38:06,490 --> 00:38:09,996
The ranger that found the kids literally
swept everything into a picnic blanket.

585
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,786
<i>All we have are the Wing Walker prints.</i>

586
00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:12,790
The what?

587
00:38:12,870 --> 00:38:14,820
Boot prints to and from the crime scene

588
00:38:14,830 --> 00:38:17,370
were made by size
10-and-a-half Wing Walkers,

589
00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:20,250
military-style boots
sold only at military PXs

590
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:22,340
designed to walk on the wings of planes.

591
00:38:22,420 --> 00:38:25,170
<i>And you can't buy at a PX
without a military ID,</i>

592
00:38:25,260 --> 00:38:27,220
so our suspect could be military.

593
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,056
Did you guys narrow your list off of this?

594
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:30,890
Yeah.
<i>Did Vallejo?</i>

595
00:38:30,970 --> 00:38:33,520
I don't know. I don't work in Vallejo. I
work here.

596
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,726
Great. I'm gonna need
photos of those boot prints.

597
00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:37,610
<i>Sure, if you send me the handwriting.</i>

598
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,396
I thought Questioned Documents already
did.

599
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,360
Nope.
Vallejo's got them, not us.

600
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,196
All right. I'll have
Questioned Documents...

601
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,030
Forget it.
I'll telefax it to you.

602
00:38:45,110 --> 00:38:46,860
We don't have telefax yet.

603
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:48,196
Okay, I'll put it in the mail.

604
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,330
<i>We'll mail ours, too.</i>

605
00:38:49,410 --> 00:38:50,870
And call Mulanax in Vallejo.

606
00:38:50,950 --> 00:38:52,740
Maybe he can get you a mimeo.

607
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:53,990
Right.

608
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,916
Why don't you just get a photo off the
original plaster cast?

609
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,086
We'd have to wait, because they don't
have a fax.

610
00:38:58,170 --> 00:38:59,620
<i>We don't have a fax, either.</i>

611
00:38:59,710 --> 00:39:01,376
Look, I'm just trying
to get us coordinated.

612
00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:03,166
Have you called
Solano Sheriff's Office?

613
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:04,760
Why would I call Solano?

614
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,260
<i>Because the two kids that got killed</i>
last Christmas <i>were Solano's.</i>

615
00:39:08,340 --> 00:39:09,690
I thought they were Vallejo.

616
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:10,966
No, they were over the county line

617
00:39:11,050 --> 00:39:13,510
so you're gonna need
to coordinate with them, too.

618
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,020
Okay.

619
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:16,430
Bill.

620
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,930
Can I have a word with you?

621
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,230
Where did you see this guy?

622
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,156
We got the call to circle the scene and
look for a Negro male adult.

623
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:28,570
Where was he?

624
00:39:28,650 --> 00:39:31,156
On Jackson. Heading east.
About the middle of the block.

625
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,286
And this is three minutes
after the shooting?

626
00:39:33,370 --> 00:39:34,580
Give or take.
Yeah.

627
00:39:34,660 --> 00:39:36,076
And you were heading east or west?

628
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,160
We were going west.

629
00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:39,246
All right, so you're
on Jackson going west.

630
00:39:39,330 --> 00:39:42,460
So the cab was one block
catty-corner southwest?

631
00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:44,250
Correct.
Did you slow down?

632
00:39:44,340 --> 00:39:46,250
Of course we slowed down.
All right.

633
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:48,420
Listen, Dispatch said it was a Negro male.

634
00:39:48,510 --> 00:39:49,860
That was corrected.

635
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,760
No, but at the time
they hadn't changed it.

636
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,600
This guy was white.

637
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,636
Right, not in a hurry. Kind of lumbering
along like...

638
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:59,270
Lumbering? What do you mean, "lumbering"?

639
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,400
Shuffling.
Stocky? Had a crew cut?

640
00:40:04,310 --> 00:40:05,940
Yeah, that's all correct.

641
00:40:07,110 --> 00:40:09,030
Listen, it was dark.

642
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:11,366
The guy was wearing a dark jacket.
There's no way...

643
00:40:11,450 --> 00:40:13,570
He would have been covered in blood.

644
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:17,080
Did you stop him?

645
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:20,660
Did you talk to him?

646
00:40:21,790 --> 00:40:24,330
Yes? No?
No.

647
00:40:24,420 --> 00:40:25,956
You need to get with a sketch artist.

648
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,760
We have to put out
a new composite right away.

649
00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:35,096
{\an8}<i>Five persons have been</i>
murdered <i>in the San Francisco area,</i>

650
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:36,720
{\an8}<i>and in each case the killer...</i>

651
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:39,186
{\an8}<i>"I shall wipe out a school bus</i>
some morning..."

652
00:40:39,270 --> 00:40:40,930
<i>San Francisco police...</i>

653
00:40:42,270 --> 00:40:44,186
<i>to see the Stones in concert</i> this Sunday.

654
00:40:45,730 --> 00:40:47,686
<i>The new letters from the</i>
Zodiac Killer <i>were sent to</i>

655
00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:49,990
<i>the City room of the</i>
San Francisco Chronicle.

656
00:40:50,070 --> 00:40:51,320
<i>One of the letters was...</i>

657
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,740
Looming. No looming.

658
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:55,870
Have you considered the water theory?

659
00:40:55,950 --> 00:40:57,080
What?

660
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,406
Geographically, every attack takes place
near a body of water

661
00:40:59,490 --> 00:41:01,116
or a water-based name.
This is your water theory?

662
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,670
Lake Berryessa.
Blue Rock Springs.

663
00:41:03,750 --> 00:41:06,040
Lake Herman.
Wash-ington and Cherry?

664
00:41:07,290 --> 00:41:08,670
You think?

665
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:10,590
No.

666
00:41:10,670 --> 00:41:11,920
I'm reading this book,

667
00:41:12,010 --> 00:41:14,006
<i>Homicide Investigation</i> by Lemoyne Snyder...

668
00:41:14,090 --> 00:41:15,636
"Leymone."...and he says you look for
patterns,

669
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:16,926
so I'm looking for patterns.

670
00:41:17,010 --> 00:41:18,010
No.

671
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,016
You can't think of this case
in normal police terms.

672
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:21,060
Why not?

673
00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:22,266
You got four crime scenes.

674
00:41:22,350 --> 00:41:25,150
Solano, Vallejo,
Berryessa, and here.

675
00:41:25,230 --> 00:41:29,070
Not a single usable print at the first
three or in any of the letters?

676
00:41:29,150 --> 00:41:32,740
How does our master criminal come to the
city and leave a bloody latent?

677
00:41:32,820 --> 00:41:35,450
I mean, assuming the gloves are his,

678
00:41:35,530 --> 00:41:37,486
he shoots the cabbie
and then takes them off?

679
00:41:37,570 --> 00:41:38,746
<i>So it's not his print?</i>

680
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:40,616
Maybe, maybe not.
You're missing the point.

681
00:41:40,700 --> 00:41:42,076
The point is the first attack...

682
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,326
David Faraday and Betty Jensen.

683
00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:44,830
They both die.

684
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,580
From there on out, he only manages to
kill the girls.

685
00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:49,586
Not for lack of trying.
Not for lack of trying.

686
00:41:49,670 --> 00:41:53,260
Mageau lives, Ferrin dies.
Hartnell lives, Shepard dies.

687
00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:54,796
He gets so caught up with the women

688
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,720
he forgets to finish off the men.

689
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,300
Plus, they're all couples
and all on lover's lanes.

690
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:00,970
Paul Stine is not.
Exactly.

691
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:03,436
Single, male cab driver on Washington
and Cherry doesn't fit.

692
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,940
Doesn't fit.

693
00:42:05,730 --> 00:42:08,020
So, why does Zodiac kill him?

694
00:42:10,730 --> 00:42:12,780
He's breaking the pattern.

695
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,500
Yeah?

696
00:42:23,580 --> 00:42:26,836
{\an8}<i>Someone claiming to be Zodiac</i>
called Oakland PD <i>a half-hour ago.</i>

697
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,126
{\an8}<i>He says he's gonna call in on Jim</i>
Dunbar's morning <i>show in three hours.</i>

698
00:42:30,210 --> 00:42:31,290
{\an8}On television?

699
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:33,510
{\an8}<i>He wants Melvin Belli on to counsel him.</i>

700
00:42:33,590 --> 00:42:36,050
All right. All right.
Let's go wake up Melvin.

701
00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:40,050
Animal crackers?

702
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:41,470
Glove box.

703
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,470
Are these windows bulletproof?

704
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,060
Yes, Melvin. You don't have to lie down
back there.

705
00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:47,310
This man is a marksman,

706
00:42:47,390 --> 00:42:49,850
could snuff me out at a moment's notice.

707
00:42:49,940 --> 00:42:51,650
Are you sure you're up for this?

708
00:42:51,730 --> 00:42:55,860
Don't you worry about me, Inspector.
I'll be fine when the lights are on.

709
00:42:55,940 --> 00:42:57,900
This man has asked for my help.

710
00:42:57,990 --> 00:43:00,290
The man you're worrying about snuffing
you out?

711
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,700
What are these, cookies?

712
00:43:03,870 --> 00:43:06,200
Dear Lord, do you ever clean this car?

713
00:43:06,290 --> 00:43:07,460
Shit.

714
00:43:07,540 --> 00:43:10,000
KGO must have tipped other stations.

715
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:22,390
<i>Get him talking. Convince him to meet</i>
you somewhere.

716
00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:23,810
If you see an opportunity,

717
00:43:23,890 --> 00:43:26,596
we want you to suggest Old St. Mary's
Church in Chinatown.

718
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,350
You'll be tracing the call?

719
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,896
Pacific Telephone says you
need to keep him on the line for 15 minutes.

720
00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:33,020
We can do that, can't we, Jim?

721
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:38,240
15 seconds.
Clear the set.

722
00:43:44,450 --> 00:43:46,870
Here you go, you drunken reprobate.

723
00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:50,580
<i>We interrupt our regular program to</i>
bring you <i>this news bulletin.</i>

724
00:43:50,670 --> 00:43:52,666
<i>Welcome to this special edition of our</i>
show

725
00:43:52,750 --> 00:43:54,416
<i>in which we are joined
by attorney Melvin Belli</i>

726
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:58,090
<i>who the Zodiac Killer personally</i>
requested <i>to appear.</i>

727
00:43:58,170 --> 00:44:00,590
Finish up, buddy, and put it in the sink.

728
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,220
<i>Good morning, Melvin.
Good morning, Jim.</i>

729
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:06,510
<i>So, the phone lines are open. Mr.</i>
Belli is here.

730
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,766
<i>Here to help, Jim.</i>

731
00:44:07,850 --> 00:44:09,520
<i>Yes. Here to help.</i>

732
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,360
<i>And we ask the public not to call in, so</i>
that the Zodiac <i>himself can reach us.</i>

733
00:44:23,410 --> 00:44:26,830
I saw your <i>Star Trek,</i> by the way. It was
excellent.

734
00:44:26,910 --> 00:44:28,870
A shame about the show.

735
00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:30,330
Good people.

736
00:44:30,410 --> 00:44:33,710
You know, I've often thought of becoming
an actor full-time.

737
00:44:33,790 --> 00:44:35,630
What was your character's name?

738
00:44:35,710 --> 00:44:38,250
<i>Gorgon.
Gorgon. That's right.</i>

739
00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:41,090
Roll the tape.
Get the tape.

740
00:44:41,170 --> 00:44:43,430
Jim, we have a call.
We're going live.

741
00:44:45,050 --> 00:44:46,390
Hello?

742
00:44:50,310 --> 00:44:52,310
Hello?
This is Melvin Belli.

743
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,520
Who am I speaking with?

744
00:44:55,610 --> 00:44:58,020
<i>This is the Zodiac speaking.</i>

745
00:45:01,150 --> 00:45:05,030
Is there something I can call you that's
a little less ominous?

746
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,200
<i>Sam.</i>

747
00:45:08,580 --> 00:45:10,120
Sam.

748
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,000
<i>Yes?</i>

749
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,290
Sam, do you think you need medical care?

750
00:45:14,370 --> 00:45:16,290
<i>Medical, not mental.</i>

751
00:45:16,380 --> 00:45:18,670
Do you have health problems?

752
00:45:18,750 --> 00:45:20,630
<i>I'm sick.
I have headaches.</i>

753
00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:22,340
Headaches?

754
00:45:22,420 --> 00:45:23,800
I have headaches, too,

755
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,260
but a chiropractor
stopped them a week ago.

756
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:28,220
I think
I can help you, Sam.

757
00:45:31,060 --> 00:45:32,350
Sam?

758
00:45:33,890 --> 00:45:36,150
He knows they're tracing his calls.

759
00:45:40,070 --> 00:45:43,990
<i>Sam, we'd like you to know that we are
not tracing these calls.</i>

760
00:45:44,070 --> 00:45:48,450
<i>It's a long, difficult process and
ineffective with these short calls.</i>

761
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,250
Sam?

762
00:45:56,290 --> 00:45:57,250
<i>Uh-huh?</i>

763
00:45:57,330 --> 00:46:00,420
We're not tracing these calls. You have
my word.

764
00:46:01,460 --> 00:46:02,840
<i>Okay.</i>

765
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,220
<i>Sam, you need to tell me
what your problem is.</i>

766
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:08,180
<i>I don't want to go to the gas chamber.</i>

767
00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:11,140
<i>I have headaches.
I kill, I don't get them.</i>

768
00:46:11,220 --> 00:46:12,350
That is fucked up!

769
00:46:12,430 --> 00:46:16,020
<i>You want to live, don't you?
Well, this is your passport.</i>

770
00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:17,606
<i>How long have you been
having these headaches?</i>

771
00:46:17,690 --> 00:46:19,810
<i>Since I killed a kid.</i>

772
00:46:21,110 --> 00:46:22,646
<i>I don't want to be hurt.</i>
Why is he calling?

773
00:46:22,730 --> 00:46:24,856
Hey, just a second, buddy.
<i>I don't wanna go to the gas chamber.</i>

774
00:46:24,940 --> 00:46:26,566
<i>You won't get hurt if you talk to me.</i>

775
00:46:26,650 --> 00:46:29,490
And you're not going to the gas chamber.

776
00:46:29,570 --> 00:46:32,156
I wouldn't think they would ask for
capital punishment.

777
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:34,200
<i>We should ask the District Attorney.</i>

778
00:46:34,290 --> 00:46:36,370
<i>Do you want me to do that, Sam?</i>

779
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,586
<i>Do you want me to talk
to the District Attorney?</i>

780
00:46:43,380 --> 00:46:45,130
What was that, Sam?

781
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,300
<i>I did not say anything.</i>

782
00:46:48,380 --> 00:46:50,800
<i>We heard a scream.</i>

783
00:46:50,890 --> 00:46:53,720
<i>That was my headache.</i>

784
00:46:53,810 --> 00:46:57,480
You sound like you're
in a great deal of pain.

785
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,980
<i>My head aches.
I'm so sick.</i>

786
00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:03,690
<i>I'm gonna kill them.</i>

787
00:47:03,780 --> 00:47:07,110
Oh, okay.
<i>I'm gonna kill those kids!</i>

788
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,450
Fantastic.

789
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,410
<i>Sam?</i>

790
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,000
<i>Let's meet and talk.
Just us.</i>

791
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:18,580
<i>Okay.</i>

792
00:47:18,670 --> 00:47:21,290
<i>How about Old St. Mary's Church in
Chinatown?</i>

793
00:47:21,380 --> 00:47:22,500
<i>No.</i>

794
00:47:22,590 --> 00:47:26,630
<i>In front of the Daly City
St. Vincent de Paul at 10:30.</i>

795
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:28,760
I'll see you there.

796
00:47:30,390 --> 00:47:32,390
Take care of yourself, Sam.

797
00:47:56,370 --> 00:47:57,620
My, my, my.

798
00:47:57,700 --> 00:48:00,920
You fellows certainly know how to put on
a secret meeting.

799
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:05,300
<i>You know, the problem is,</i>

800
00:48:05,380 --> 00:48:08,420
<i>I don't want to go to the gas chamber. I</i>
have headaches.

801
00:48:08,510 --> 00:48:10,550
<i>I kill, I don't get them.</i>

802
00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:12,930
No, it's not him.

803
00:48:13,010 --> 00:48:16,310
It's the voice. The voice is too high.
It's too young.

804
00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:18,520
All right. Thanks for coming down,
Bryan.

805
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:19,980
<i>Do you have blackouts?</i>

806
00:48:20,060 --> 00:48:21,940
That's okay. I got it.

807
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:29,080
They pulled off the trace.

808
00:48:29,150 --> 00:48:32,530
Our Daly City no-show called from a
mental institution.

809
00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:34,700
Oakland PD's operator is sure

810
00:48:34,780 --> 00:48:37,240
the man she talked to had a deeper voice.

811
00:48:37,330 --> 00:48:39,000
Calmer.

812
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,080
Might have actually been him.

813
00:48:47,460 --> 00:48:51,050
{\an8} "So I shall change
my way of collecting slaves.

814
00:48:51,130 --> 00:48:54,340
{\an8} "I shall no longer announce to anyone
when I commit my murders.

815
00:48:54,430 --> 00:48:57,850
"They shall look like routine robberies,
killings of anger

816
00:48:57,930 --> 00:49:00,730
"and a few fake accidents, et cetera.

817
00:49:00,810 --> 00:49:01,896
"The police shall never catch me

818
00:49:01,980 --> 00:49:04,400
"because I have been too clever for them.

819
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,020
"I look like the description passed out
only when I do my thing.

820
00:49:08,110 --> 00:49:11,190
"The rest of the time
I look entirely different.

821
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:16,280
"I shall not tell you what my disguise
consists of when I kill.

822
00:49:16,370 --> 00:49:18,910
"As of yet I have left no
fingerprints behind me,

823
00:49:18,990 --> 00:49:21,540
"contrary to what the police say.

824
00:49:21,620 --> 00:49:24,870
"I wear transparent fingertips.

825
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,710
"All it is is two coats of airplane
cement coated on my fingertips.

826
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,010
"I enjoy needling the blue pigs.

827
00:49:32,090 --> 00:49:34,260
"Hey, blue pig,
I was in the park.

828
00:49:34,340 --> 00:49:39,850
"You were using fire trucks to mask the
sound of your cruising prowl cars.

829
00:49:39,930 --> 00:49:41,386
"Hey, pig, doesn't it rile you up

830
00:49:41,470 --> 00:49:44,560
"to have your nose rubbed in your booboos?

831
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,726
"If you cops think I am going to take on
a bus the way I stated I was,

832
00:49:47,810 --> 00:49:51,070
"you deserve to have holes in your heads."

833
00:49:53,150 --> 00:49:54,820
And you need to look at this.

834
00:49:58,030 --> 00:50:00,410
"Take one bag of
ammonium nitrate fertilizer,

835
00:50:00,490 --> 00:50:02,200
"one gallon of stove oil,

836
00:50:02,290 --> 00:50:04,410
"and dump a few bags of gravel on top..."

837
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:06,250
Okay.
It's a bomb.

838
00:50:06,330 --> 00:50:08,126
Okay. We gotta call
the Army and see if this

839
00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:10,960
science experiment could actually work.

840
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:12,630
Another cipher.

841
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,130
When did these arrive?

842
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:17,720
They arrived this morning.

843
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,016
Are you planning to publish?

844
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:20,510
Robert.

845
00:50:21,850 --> 00:50:23,180
We should have a drink.

846
00:50:27,690 --> 00:50:29,110
Thank you.

847
00:50:31,110 --> 00:50:32,940
So, tell me about yourself.

848
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:34,110
You married?

849
00:50:34,190 --> 00:50:37,200
Divorced.
Two kids.

850
00:50:37,860 --> 00:50:39,530
What do you do for fun?

851
00:50:41,490 --> 00:50:43,040
I love to read.

852
00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:44,870
I enjoy books.

853
00:50:44,950 --> 00:50:46,290
Those are the same things.

854
00:50:46,370 --> 00:50:48,290
Why you been going through my trash?

855
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,630
I'll come back to that.

856
00:50:53,710 --> 00:50:55,926
How did you know he was gonna send
another code?

857
00:50:56,010 --> 00:50:57,340
I just guessed.

858
00:50:57,430 --> 00:50:58,680
Just guessed.

859
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,096
The first one seemed too easy.

860
00:51:00,180 --> 00:51:02,600
All right, this can no longer be ignored.

861
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,390
What is that you're drinking?

862
00:51:04,470 --> 00:51:05,930
It's an Aqua Velva.

863
00:51:06,020 --> 00:51:08,190
You wouldn't make fun of it if you tried
it.

864
00:51:18,860 --> 00:51:21,120
But who actually cracked the code?

865
00:51:21,910 --> 00:51:24,160
A married couple who like puzzles.

866
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:26,076
So what's that tell us about the Zodiac?

867
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,160
He's no expert.
Right.

868
00:51:28,250 --> 00:51:29,626
It's just a simple substitution code

869
00:51:29,710 --> 00:51:32,000
like the one that we used to do as boy
scouts.

870
00:51:32,090 --> 00:51:33,750
"A" is one, "B" is two.

871
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,336
We weren't all boy scouts, Robert.

872
00:51:35,420 --> 00:51:38,720
Well, it's not that hard. You just got
to know where to start.

873
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,430
In the first cipher...

874
00:51:40,510 --> 00:51:42,096
You actually carry that around with you?

875
00:51:42,180 --> 00:51:44,640
Why?
No reason.

876
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,980
What's the most common double consonant
in the English language?

877
00:51:48,060 --> 00:51:49,310
Consonant?

878
00:51:49,390 --> 00:51:51,020
The double "L."
Double "L."

879
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:54,646
And what's the one word that we know
that he'll use in here, at least once?

880
00:51:54,730 --> 00:51:55,780
"Kill."
Right, "kill."

881
00:51:55,780 --> 00:51:57,776
So the Hardens start looking for double
symbols,

882
00:51:57,860 --> 00:51:59,660
which they find here, here, and here.

883
00:51:59,740 --> 00:52:02,200
Each with the same
two symbols preceding them.

884
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,196
So now they've got
a repeating four-letter word

885
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,366
ending with two symbols that they assume
stand for "L."

886
00:52:06,450 --> 00:52:08,036
And since they think the whole word is
"kill" then...

887
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,270
Then you got your "K," you got your "I,"
and you're on your way.

888
00:52:11,330 --> 00:52:13,166
But how do you go from "A" is one and
"B" is two

889
00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:14,920
to figuring out this whole code?

890
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,670
Well, same way I did.
You go to the library.

891
00:52:21,010 --> 00:52:22,840
In this book,

892
00:52:22,930 --> 00:52:26,930
the author presents a very simple
substitution code in the preface.

893
00:52:27,010 --> 00:52:30,260
Eight of the 26 symbols that he suggests
are found in this cipher.

894
00:52:30,310 --> 00:52:31,606
Yeah, but there are non-letter symbols

895
00:52:31,690 --> 00:52:33,106
because there's all these medieval ones.

896
00:52:33,190 --> 00:52:35,190
I thought they looked medieval, too.

897
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,606
But then I found a code
written in the Middle Ages.

898
00:52:38,690 --> 00:52:39,840
Guess what it's called?

899
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:41,820
The Zodiac Alphabet.

900
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,410
Jesus.

901
00:52:46,830 --> 00:52:48,076
What do you want out of this?

902
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,540
What?
What's your angle?

903
00:52:49,620 --> 00:52:52,500
This is good business
for everyone but you.

904
00:52:55,420 --> 00:52:57,420
How do you mean "business"?

905
00:53:00,260 --> 00:53:02,720
Hey. Come to bed.

906
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,640
I'll be up in a minute. I need to make a
phone call.

907
00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:20,230
<i>Hello?</i>
Bill?

908
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,700
There's not many basements in California.

909
00:53:22,780 --> 00:53:24,660
<i>"Basement for future use."</i>

910
00:53:25,030 --> 00:53:26,570
That's right.

911
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:30,120
<i>I'll have Vallejo and Napa check with</i>
their city planners.

912
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,450
<i>Get some sleep.</i>

913
00:53:31,540 --> 00:53:32,710
Yeah, sure.

914
00:53:45,260 --> 00:53:48,100
{\an8}<i>"Dear Melvin, this is the Zodiac speaking.</i>

915
00:53:48,180 --> 00:53:50,470
<i>"I wish you a happy Christmas.</i>

916
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,020
<i>"The one thing I ask of you
is this. Please help me.</i>

917
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:57,980
"I cannot reach out for help because
this thing in me won't let me."

918
00:53:58,060 --> 00:53:59,320
Thank you.

919
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,440
"I am finding it extremely difficult to
hold it in check

920
00:54:02,530 --> 00:54:05,150
"and I am afraid
I will lose control again

921
00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,200
"and take my ninth
and possibly tenth victim."

922
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,740
Melvin, he's reaching out to you.

923
00:54:10,830 --> 00:54:11,950
Absolutely.

924
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,500
Inspectors, he sent this letter directly
to my residence.

925
00:54:15,580 --> 00:54:18,670
It is a cry for help, intended as a
private communique.

926
00:54:18,750 --> 00:54:20,920
Which is why you contacted the <i>Chronicle.</i>

927
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,840
The people have a right to know.

928
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,170
Toddy?

929
00:54:24,260 --> 00:54:25,840
When did the letter arrive?

930
00:54:25,930 --> 00:54:27,340
In the middle of last week.

931
00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:29,426
It is my belief that he only penned this
letter

932
00:54:29,510 --> 00:54:32,436
because he couldn't get through to me on
the Dunbar show or here.

933
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,060
He tried to contact you here?

934
00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:35,270
Several times.

935
00:54:35,350 --> 00:54:37,316
I was out, but he spoke with my
housekeeper.

936
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:38,730
Didn't leave a number.

937
00:54:38,810 --> 00:54:41,316
He's kind of crafty like that. Do you
mind if I speak to her?

938
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,780
Not at all. But the real story is the
letter.

939
00:54:44,860 --> 00:54:46,400
I'll be back.
Yeah.

940
00:54:46,490 --> 00:54:48,030
She's right this way.

941
00:54:48,110 --> 00:54:53,290
Inspector Toschi, it is my belief this
is a window into this man's soul.

942
00:54:53,370 --> 00:54:55,290
Killing is his compulsion.

943
00:54:55,370 --> 00:54:57,790
Even though he tries to ignore it, it
drives him.

944
00:54:57,870 --> 00:54:58,870
It's in his blood.

945
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,630
Could be. Or maybe he just likes the
attention.

946
00:55:45,670 --> 00:55:51,220
I didn't mean to scare you, but your
right rear wheel is loose.

947
00:55:51,300 --> 00:55:52,430
Really?

948
00:55:52,510 --> 00:55:55,390
If you like, I could tighten the lugs up
for you.

949
00:55:58,730 --> 00:55:59,890
If you don't mind.

950
00:55:59,980 --> 00:56:01,900
Well, you can't be too careful.

951
00:56:36,890 --> 00:56:37,930
All done.

952
00:56:38,020 --> 00:56:39,100
Thank you.

953
00:56:39,180 --> 00:56:41,730
No problem.
Have a good night.

954
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:47,820
It's okay.

955
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,870
Are you okay?

956
00:57:45,170 --> 00:57:48,380
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.

957
00:57:48,460 --> 00:57:50,710
Must have been worse than I thought.

958
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,130
I can give you a lift
to a service station.

959
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,600
Okay.

960
00:58:03,730 --> 00:58:05,810
It's okay. Come on.

961
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:15,990
I didn't know you had a baby.

962
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,070
Oh, is that okay?

963
00:58:20,490 --> 00:58:22,500
The more the merrier.

964
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,800
You shouldn't smoke.
It's a bad habit.

965
00:58:41,060 --> 00:58:43,390
I think we just passed a filling station.

966
00:58:43,470 --> 00:58:45,230
It was closed.

967
00:58:50,190 --> 00:58:53,400
Do you always go around
helping people in the night?

968
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,980
When I'm done with them,
they don't need much help.

969
00:58:59,070 --> 00:59:00,870
It's okay.

970
00:59:01,330 --> 00:59:03,490
Before I kill you,

971
00:59:03,580 --> 00:59:05,960
I'm gonna throw your baby out the window.

972
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,390
No! Help! Please! No!

973
00:59:29,900 --> 00:59:32,820
She was on the side of the road. She
flagged me down.

974
00:59:32,900 --> 00:59:34,526
What happened to her? She said she jumped
from a car.

975
00:59:34,610 --> 00:59:36,110
I found her like this.

976
00:59:36,570 --> 00:59:37,990
What is it?

977
00:59:38,070 --> 00:59:39,490
Please, he said...

978
00:59:39,570 --> 00:59:40,910
It'll be okay.

979
00:59:40,990 --> 00:59:42,120
Tried to kill me.

980
00:59:42,780 --> 00:59:43,990
My baby!

981
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:45,490
Where's her baby?

982
00:59:45,580 --> 00:59:47,500
She didn't have one when I stopped.

983
00:59:47,580 --> 00:59:49,080
Where's your baby?

984
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,090
Jesus.

985
01:00:04,350 --> 01:00:05,600
You hid it?

986
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,350
In case he came back.

The new policy. Our brothers in blue want
us to hold back

1014
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:33,270
and see how he reacts.

1015
01:01:33,350 --> 01:01:35,190
Four letters in three months,

1016
01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:38,396
and this is the first mention of
Kathleen Johns. That's very weird.

1017
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,030
That's because he's full of shit.

1018
01:01:43,150 --> 01:01:44,820
What do you mean?

1019
01:01:46,070 --> 01:01:48,530
You don't know?

1020
01:01:48,620 --> 01:01:53,540
Welcome. Please put your stuff down.
You're going down five rows and left.

1021
01:01:53,620 --> 01:01:56,250
Looking for the <i>Modesto Bee</i> from March.

1022
01:01:56,330 --> 01:01:59,500
I'm going to stand here
and attempt not to vomit.

1023
01:01:59,590 --> 01:02:01,760
Left.
Left.

1024
01:02:02,460 --> 01:02:03,560
What am I looking for?

1025
01:02:03,630 --> 01:02:04,970
Kathleen Johns.

1026
01:02:05,050 --> 01:02:06,556
Also probably you wanna
pull the <i>Chron</i> from...

1027
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,350
You know, never mind.
I'll see to that.

1028
01:02:10,430 --> 01:02:12,976
Okay, look at this letter again. The
part about Kathleen Johns.

1029
01:02:13,060 --> 01:02:14,980
Tell me what facts he gives.

1030
01:02:15,060 --> 01:02:16,690
A woman and her baby abducted.

1031
01:02:16,770 --> 01:02:18,150
Mmm-hmm. Fact.

1032
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,480
The car on fire.
Okay, now,

1033
01:02:24,110 --> 01:02:26,360
look at the article from the <i>Bee.</i>

1034
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:29,030
Seen it yet?

1035
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,326
Everything in the letter already
appeared in the article.

1036
01:02:31,410 --> 01:02:32,750
And he's done it before.

1037
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:36,496
Officer Richard Radetich,
shot sitting in his car.

1038
01:02:36,580 --> 01:02:38,956
Zodiac claimed that he shot someone in
their car. Mmm-hmm.

1039
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,550
Couple days after this article came out.

1040
01:02:42,630 --> 01:02:44,336
The police already
had somebody in custody.

1041
01:02:44,420 --> 01:02:47,380
Zodiac didn't do it,
but took credit for it anyway

1042
01:02:47,470 --> 01:02:49,180
because he's in it for the press.

1043
01:02:49,260 --> 01:02:50,850
He even stole his symbol.

1044
01:02:50,930 --> 01:02:52,510
What?
Yeah. Shit.

1045
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,186
If I show you something, you promise not
to tell anyone?

1046
01:02:55,270 --> 01:02:56,390
Who would I tell?

1047
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,440
Okay.
Totally solid point. Okay.

1048
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,906
That's the only place
that word and that symbol

1049
01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:10,450
ever appeared together before the letters.

1050
01:03:10,530 --> 01:03:11,866
The guy stole his logo off a watch.

1051
01:03:11,950 --> 01:03:13,496
How can somebody
who's killed 13 people do...

1052
01:03:13,580 --> 01:03:14,826
He claims he's killed 13 people,

1053
01:03:14,910 --> 01:03:16,416
but which ones can we actually confirm?

1054
01:03:16,500 --> 01:03:19,750
There's three in Vallejo, one in
Berryessa, the cabbie. That's it.

1055
01:03:22,170 --> 01:03:25,050
Bobby, you almost look disappointed.

1056
01:03:25,130 --> 01:03:28,090
Chief's pulling everybody off buses.

1057
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,260
Business as usual.

1058
01:03:30,340 --> 01:03:32,050
Something'll shake loose.

1059
01:03:32,140 --> 01:03:34,140
Not a peep in four months.

1060
01:03:34,220 --> 01:03:36,980
First he won't shut up and now...

1061
01:03:37,060 --> 01:03:39,810
Maybe we drove him underground.

1062
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:42,310
Maybe he's gone.

1063
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,606

Thanks.

1066
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,416
Does it ever bother you
that people call you Shorty?

1067
01:04:00,500 --> 01:04:02,666
Does it bother you that people call you a
retard?

1068
01:04:02,750 --> 01:04:04,920
Nobody calls me that.

1069

You should sell these.
You could do well.

1098
01:05:39,180 --> 01:05:41,846
It's been a windfall, since they
published the threat on my life.

1099
01:05:41,930 --> 01:05:43,266
I got the leads
coming out of the woodwork.

1100
01:05:43,350 --> 01:05:46,150
There's one guy down in Riverside.

1101
01:05:46,230 --> 01:05:47,646
I'm gonna drive down and see him tonight.

1102
01:05:47,730 --> 01:05:48,730
You wanna tag along?

1103
01:05:48,820 --> 01:05:51,530
Uh... No, I have a date.

1104
01:05:51,610 --> 01:05:52,740
Really?

1105
01:05:52,820 --> 01:05:54,530
Who is this guy?

1106
01:05:54,610 --> 01:05:58,700
He wishes to remain anonymous. I wish to
remain infamous.

1107
01:05:58,780 --> 01:06:02,120
So we're going to get along great.

1108
01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:12,010
Hi. Good evening. Hi.
I'm looking for a Melanie.

1109
01:06:12,090 --> 01:06:14,240
Yes. It's the young lady sitting by
herself.

1110
01:06:14,300 --> 01:06:15,430
Thank you.

1111
01:06:21,770 --> 01:06:23,060
You must be Melanie.

1112
01:06:23,140 --> 01:06:25,060
Which would make you Robert.
It would.

1113
01:06:25,140 --> 01:06:27,980
Glynnis told me lots about you.

1114
01:06:28,060 --> 01:06:30,400
And you have wine, great.
I do.

1115
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,190
Great. How late am I?

1116
01:06:34,070 --> 01:06:36,610
Just a few minutes, really.
I just got here myself.

1117
01:06:36,700 --> 01:06:39,370
Traffic's bumper to bumper.
I was at the gun range.

1118
01:06:39,450 --> 01:06:41,870
Glynnis said you were a cartoonist.

1119
01:06:41,950 --> 01:06:42,950
Oh, yeah.

1120
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,536
Well, what're you doing at a gun range?

1121
01:06:44,620 --> 01:06:46,000
Reading.

1122
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,580
Get some more...
You need some more napkins.

1123
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,920
So, you work with Glynnis.

1124
01:06:53,010 --> 01:06:55,340
For her, actually.
For her?

1125
01:06:55,420 --> 01:06:57,180
Oh, well...

1126
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,800
My children are terrified of Glynnis.

1127
01:07:00,890 --> 01:07:02,220
Me, too.

1128
01:07:05,430 --> 01:07:06,600
So, the gun range?

1129
01:07:06,690 --> 01:07:09,600
We're... I'm working on...
Do you know the Zodiac?

1130
01:07:09,690 --> 01:07:11,230
Yeah.
I'm working with...

1131
01:07:11,310 --> 01:07:12,646
Do you know who
Paul Avery is?

1132
01:07:12,730 --> 01:07:13,940
Sounds kind of familiar.

1133
01:07:14,030 --> 01:07:15,696
He's the writer
that the Zodiac threatened.

1134
01:07:15,780 --> 01:07:17,080
Oh, yeah,
I saw that on TV.

1135
01:07:17,110 --> 01:07:20,120
Well, I work near him
and he's going down tonight

1136
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:23,370
to track an anonymous tipster down in
Riverside.

1137
01:07:24,700 --> 01:07:26,620
Where is Riverside?

1138
01:07:26,710 --> 01:07:28,250
It's near L.A.

1139
01:07:28,330 --> 01:07:31,710
Oh, wow. I don't think Paul knows that
it's that far away.

1140
01:07:34,050 --> 01:07:36,090
Sounds kind of dangerous.

1141
01:07:37,510 --> 01:07:40,300
Yeah. How do you mean?

1142
01:07:40,390 --> 01:07:42,760
Well, you said it was
an anonymous tip, right?

1143
01:07:42,850 --> 01:07:44,470
Yeah.

1144
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,140
So it could be an ambush.

1145
01:07:46,220 --> 01:07:47,770
I mean, it could be the Zodiac.

1146
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,860
Don't you think it's kind of stupid?

1147
01:07:51,940 --> 01:07:54,820
Yeah, yeah.
Well, Paul has a gun.

1148
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,160
So, do you know what's good here?

1149
01:08:02,740 --> 01:08:04,410
I've never been here before.

1150
01:08:07,250 --> 01:08:09,250
The pasta, spaghetti?

1151
01:08:10,710 --> 01:08:13,630
Are you ready to order yet?

1152
01:08:13,710 --> 01:08:16,796
Yeah, I'll have the penne vodka. But
could you do it in a cream sauce?

1153
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,220
Of course.

1154
01:08:22,430 --> 01:08:24,640
Maybe give us another minute?

1155
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:28,810
Do you have any change?

1156
01:08:28,890 --> 01:08:31,520
Oh, wait, no wait, hold on.

1157
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:32,940
Nope. That's a penny.

1158
01:08:33,020 --> 01:08:34,436
Do you have to make a phone call?

1159
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,440
Yeah, you know, when you were saying
that the Zodiac...

1160
01:08:38,530 --> 01:08:40,566
You know, when you said it was
dangerous, I just thought

1161
01:08:40,650 --> 01:08:42,700
that it is dangerous, and it's... Stupid?

1162
01:08:42,780 --> 01:08:44,320
Stupid.
And I just thought that

1163
01:08:44,410 --> 01:08:47,790
I should call his wife and just see if
she's heard from him.

1164
01:08:50,540 --> 01:08:51,790
I have some change.

1165
01:09:10,930 --> 01:09:14,400
Okay. Well, she said she'd call when she
heard from him.

1166
01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:15,770
Good.
Yeah.

1167
01:09:16,980 --> 01:09:20,650
Melanie, I should really go home and
wait for the call.

1168
01:09:23,700 --> 01:09:27,200
Is this some sleazy plan to get me to go
home with you?

1169
01:09:27,870 --> 01:09:29,370
What? No.

1170
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,170
I'll get the food to go.

1171
01:09:35,420 --> 01:09:36,540
Hello!

1172
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,850
Hi! I'm supposed to meet somebody here.

1173
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,370
Anything?

1174
01:10:18,750 --> 01:10:19,960
You don't have to stay.

1175
01:10:20,050 --> 01:10:21,630
Are you kidding?

1176
01:10:21,710 --> 01:10:25,090
This is the most interesting date I've
ever had.

1177
01:10:29,260 --> 01:10:30,390
<i>Paul?</i>
Robert?

1178
01:10:30,470 --> 01:10:32,060
Yes.
You sitting down?

1179
01:10:32,140 --> 01:10:33,270
<i>Yes.</i>

1180
01:10:33,350 --> 01:10:35,480
You're not gonna believe this.

1181
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:36,650
Dave!

1182
01:10:36,730 --> 01:10:38,976
<i>In a bizarre twist,
the hunted has become hunter.</i>

1183
01:10:39,060 --> 01:10:42,820
San Francisco Chronicle <i>reporter and</i>
Zodiac target Paul Avery

1184
01:10:42,900 --> 01:10:44,990
<i>claims to have uncovered new information</i>

1185
01:10:45,070 --> 01:10:49,160
<i>regarding the only unsolved homicide in</i>
Riverside County's history,

1186
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,830
<i>a 1966 Southern
California murder,</i>

1187
01:10:52,910 --> 01:10:55,910
<i>that Avery now believes was the Zodiac's</i>
first victim.

1188
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,000
What?

1189
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,416
He didn't call you about this? Hang on!

1190
01:10:58,500 --> 01:11:00,006
<i>The Riverside killer
wrote to the press letters</i>

1191
01:11:00,090 --> 01:11:03,630
<i>that I then took personally to the</i>
Office of <i>Questioned Documents.</i>

1192
01:11:03,710 --> 01:11:06,090
<i>And what did this expert tell you?</i>

1193
01:11:06,170 --> 01:11:07,720
<i>What I knew in my gut, Ron.</i>

1194
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:10,390
<i>The handwriting matches Zodiac's.</i>

1195
01:11:10,470 --> 01:11:12,680
How'd he get the evidence out of
Riverside?

1196
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,016
He took it to Sherwood without telling
us, the son of a bitch.

1197
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:16,306
You know how bad this looks?

1198
01:11:16,390 --> 01:11:18,900
Hey, how do we know
that this lead is real?

1199
01:11:18,980 --> 01:11:20,980
It's very real.
You know how I know?

1200
01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:22,940
Because I saw it on TV.

1201
01:11:30,030 --> 01:11:31,450
Dave.

1202
01:11:31,870 --> 01:11:33,030
Hi.

1203
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:34,916
Dave, you know Mel Nicolai. He's working
the case for Justice.

1204
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,200
Good to see you, Mel.

1205
01:11:36,290 --> 01:11:38,166
All due respect, can someone explain to me

1206
01:11:38,250 --> 01:11:39,876
why I'm reading about breaks in this case

1207
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,836
in the <i>Chronicle</i> instead
of getting calls from you?

1208
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,000
We got screwed.

1209
01:11:43,090 --> 01:11:44,300
Dave, come on.

1210
01:11:44,380 --> 01:11:46,086
You do get your name in the paper a lot.
People talk.

1211
01:11:46,170 --> 01:11:49,370
I don't ever talk about an open
investigation, period. Okay, Ken?

1212
01:11:49,380 --> 01:11:51,890
Dave? Hey. Hi.

1213
01:11:51,970 --> 01:11:54,846
Paul Avery. Can I catch a ride with you
gents when we get there?

1214
01:11:54,930 --> 01:11:57,480
Not a good idea, Paul.

1215
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,760
He's gonna make me take a cab when we're
going to the same place.

1216
01:12:00,770 --> 01:12:03,236
<i>Ladies and</i>
gentlemen, <i>thank you for choosing PSA.</i>

1217
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,606
Fair enough. Fair enough. <i>Please take</i>
your <i>seats at this time.</i>

1218
01:12:05,690 --> 01:12:08,740
<i>Remember, smoking is
in the last six aisles only.</i>

1219
01:12:08,820 --> 01:12:10,410
<i>Enjoy your flight.</i>

1220
01:12:13,660 --> 01:12:16,456
Cheri Jo Bates attended
Riverside Community College.

1221
01:12:16,540 --> 01:12:20,750
{\an8}She studies in the library the night of
October 30th, 1966.

1222
01:12:20,830 --> 01:12:24,630
{\an8}She leaves with an unidentified male at
closing, 9:00 p.m.

1223
01:12:24,710 --> 01:12:28,760
Her body's found the next morning in a
parking lot, stabbed to death.

1224
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,926
A typewritten confession was sent to the
Riverside Press Enterprise

1225
01:12:32,010 --> 01:12:34,970
on November 29th,
a month after Bates's murder.

1226
01:12:35,060 --> 01:12:36,510
They ran it.

1227
01:12:38,730 --> 01:12:41,436
"I'm not sick. I am insane. But
that will not stop the game.

1228
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,606
"This letter should be published for all
to read."

1229
01:12:43,690 --> 01:12:45,186
He wants to be published.
He calls it a game.

1230
01:12:45,270 --> 01:12:46,900
I mean, this could be our boy.

1231
01:12:46,980 --> 01:12:50,080
Six months later, the police, the girl's
father, and the paper,

1232
01:12:50,150 --> 01:12:51,860
they all received these.

1233
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,080
Double postage, just like Zodiac.

1234
01:13:00,540 --> 01:13:03,296
These are what Sherwood Morrill matched
to the Zodiac letters?

1235
01:13:03,380 --> 01:13:05,040
These and the desktop. Don.

1236
01:13:05,130 --> 01:13:09,760
This was found a couple of months later
by a janitor in RCC storage.

1237
01:13:19,020 --> 01:13:21,730
Sherwood got a handwriting match off wood?

1238
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,520
Who etches in their own handwriting?

1239
01:13:25,610 --> 01:13:26,820
To be honest with you,

1240
01:13:26,900 --> 01:13:29,650
our letters and your letters,
I don't see it.

1241
01:13:29,730 --> 01:13:31,906
How did Paul Avery get his hands on the
exemplars?

1242
01:13:31,990 --> 01:13:33,070
I gave them to him.

1243
01:13:33,150 --> 01:13:35,326
We talked on the phone the other day for
about an hour.

1244
01:13:35,410 --> 01:13:37,076
And I told him you were gonna be here.

1245
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:38,656
You told him we were meeting?
Yeah.

1246
01:13:38,740 --> 01:13:41,040
I also told him we don't think this is
Zodiac.

1247
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,120
Okay, wait a minute.

1248
01:13:43,210 --> 01:13:44,336
You don't think this is Zodiac?

1249
01:13:44,420 --> 01:13:46,290
We got a guy we like for it.

1250
01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:48,086
We don't have enough to pin it on him yet,

1251
01:13:48,170 --> 01:13:49,670
but we're pretty sure it's him.

1252
01:13:49,710 --> 01:13:52,176
If you don't think this is Zodiac, then
why give anything to Avery?

1253
01:13:52,260 --> 01:13:54,090
I'm trying to cooperate.

1254
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:56,716
Oh, that's how you cooperate? By giving
information to reporters?

1255
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,346
Look, I don't know about the handwriting,

1256
01:13:58,430 --> 01:13:59,766
but Sherwood says it's a match, right?

1257
01:13:59,850 --> 01:14:02,350
So, let's just say
that your guy did Cheri Jo.

1258
01:14:02,430 --> 01:14:04,020
He types the confession.

1259
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:06,856
Zodiac reads it in the paper, and he
writes a letter taking credit for it.

1260
01:14:06,940 --> 01:14:08,486
Now, that's something he's done before.

1261
01:14:08,570 --> 01:14:11,030
Look, now you have everything we have.

1262
01:14:11,110 --> 01:14:14,610
But, in my opinion, you guys came south
for nothing.

1263
01:14:14,700 --> 01:14:16,780
FUBAR, gentlemen, FUBAR.

1264
01:14:16,870 --> 01:14:19,620
I don't care what he says.
This still could be Z.

1265
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:22,790
The problem is the entire state already
thinks it is.

1266
01:14:22,870 --> 01:14:26,040
Well, there's your press agent. Talk to
him about it.

1267
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,716
I come in peace.
I don't want any trouble.

1268
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,586
I really don't want to talk to you right
now, Paul. Not now.

1269
01:14:32,670 --> 01:14:33,796
Just trying to do my job.

1270
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,840
Oh, really? Well, now I can't do mine.

1271
01:14:36,930 --> 01:14:38,886
We're already screwed with the amount of
tips we got on this thing,

1272
01:14:38,970 --> 01:14:40,886
and you just freaked out the entire state.

1273
01:14:40,970 --> 01:14:44,270
I have got Napa, Vallejo, and DOJ looking
at me sideways

1274
01:14:44,350 --> 01:14:47,190
and Riverside's telling me
I'm on a snipe hunt!

1275
01:14:47,270 --> 01:14:49,726
Jesus. Hey, Cheri Jo Bates was a gift. I
gave that to you.

1276
01:14:49,810 --> 01:14:51,396
You and Armstrong
never would have found her.

1277
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:53,566
This may not be Zodiac.
Does that matter to you?

1278
01:14:53,650 --> 01:14:55,196
What if it is? Does it matter that
Riverside may not

1279
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,576
be able to make a case against their
suspect because of you?

1280
01:14:57,660 --> 01:14:59,576
Tell it to Sherwood. I'm out here,
beating the bushes,

1281
01:14:59,660 --> 01:15:01,246
trying to draw him out.
We're in this together.

1282
01:15:01,330 --> 01:15:02,706
No, we're not in anything together, Paul,

1283
01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:04,746
because I'm not interested
in upping my circulation.

1284
01:15:04,830 --> 01:15:07,870
Oh, boy. He wrote me.
He threatened my life.

1285
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,170
Hey, Bullitt!

1286
01:15:09,250 --> 01:15:12,500
Been a year-and-a-half, you gonna catch
this fucking guy or not?

1287
01:15:15,550 --> 01:15:16,880
Go fuck yourself.

1288
01:15:16,970 --> 01:15:18,090
Happily.

1289
01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:19,730
You should have called me, Paul.

1290
01:15:25,480 --> 01:15:26,850
Thank you.

1291
01:15:39,950 --> 01:15:41,750
Did you see this?
Unfortunately, yes.

1292
01:15:41,780 --> 01:15:44,290
Here comes every lunatic in California.

1293
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:46,790
I'm the Zodiac.

1294
01:15:46,870 --> 01:15:48,416
And how did you kill your victims?

1295
01:15:48,500 --> 01:15:51,210
With a gun.
No, with a hammer.

1296
01:15:51,290 --> 01:15:52,546
All I'm authorized to tell you

1297
01:15:52,630 --> 01:15:54,506
is that he's still under
government employment.

1298
01:15:54,590 --> 01:15:55,836
And who authorized you to tell me this?

1299
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:57,386
That's all I'm authorized to say.

1300
01:15:57,470 --> 01:15:59,720
Only a little rat bastard like Andre

1301
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,136
could have done something like cut off
all the victims' hands.

1302
01:16:02,220 --> 01:16:04,680
Zodiac didn't cut off
any of the victims' hands.

1303
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,600
Are you sure?
Yes, sir.

1304
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,180
Travis and I worked here
side by side for 10 years.

1305
01:16:09,230 --> 01:16:13,400
His foot gets crushed in an accident and
the killings begin.

1306
01:16:13,480 --> 01:16:15,190
Coincidence?
I don't know.

1307
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,150
You're a cop, man.
Do the math.

1308
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,870
Have you considered the killer might be
Paul Avery?

1309
01:16:24,950 --> 01:16:26,370
Frequently.

1310
01:16:26,450 --> 01:16:28,326
He was drinking Coors, getting a load on.

1311
01:16:28,410 --> 01:16:30,370
Starts talking about hunting people.

1312
01:16:30,460 --> 01:16:31,750
Like that book.

1313
01:16:31,830 --> 01:16:34,340
Says how you can put a light
at the end of a gun

1314
01:16:34,420 --> 01:16:36,090
to use as a sight in the dark.

1315
01:16:36,170 --> 01:16:38,510
{\an8}He said that?
Yeah.

1316
01:16:38,590 --> 01:16:41,180
{\an8}So I asked him, "How would you get away
with it?"

1317
01:16:41,260 --> 01:16:42,710
{\an8}And he said, "It would be easy

1318
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,180
{\an8}" "cause there'd be no real motive to the
thing."

1319
01:16:45,260 --> 01:16:47,096
Then he said he'd write letters to the
police

1320
01:16:47,180 --> 01:16:49,230
and call himself Zodiac to mess with them.

1321
01:16:49,270 --> 01:16:50,516
Leigh liked messing with people.

1322
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,060
You're positive he said "Zodiac"? Yeah.

1323
01:16:54,150 --> 01:16:57,190
I thought it was a stupid name. So I
told him.

1324
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,820
He got up all upset and said,
"I don't care what you think.

1325
01:17:00,900 --> 01:17:03,326
"I've thought about it a long time and
that's the name I'm gonna use."

1326
01:17:03,410 --> 01:17:06,910
Did you feel like he'd been thinking
about it a long time?

1327
01:17:06,990 --> 01:17:10,120
He was raw about losing his job at the
school.

1328
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,370
He talked about shooting out
the tires of a school bus

1329
01:17:13,460 --> 01:17:15,880
and picking off the little darlings.

1330
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,170
He actually used those words?

1331
01:17:18,250 --> 01:17:19,700
That's what made me remember.

1332
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,550
Afterwards, I told my wife
I didn't wanna see him again.

1333
01:17:22,630 --> 01:17:24,390
And I haven't since.

1334
01:17:24,470 --> 01:17:27,010
Other thing is,
Leigh's into skin diving.

1335
01:17:27,100 --> 01:17:29,306
I know he's been up to that lake a bunch
of times.

1336
01:17:29,390 --> 01:17:30,520
Lake Berryessa?

1337
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:31,850
Did you ever go with him?

1338
01:17:31,930 --> 01:17:35,480
Couple times. We went fishing
by Putah Creek near there.

1339
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,066
Tell him when you put it together.

1340
01:17:37,150 --> 01:17:42,070
About a year ago, in the paper, there
was a story about the Zodiac.

1341
01:17:42,150 --> 01:17:43,740
And it all comes back.

1342
01:17:43,820 --> 01:17:45,076
I tried to call the local cops.

1343
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:46,996
They blew him off.
Thought he was a nut.

1344
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,910
And you're sure the conversation you had
about Zodiac

1345
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,750
took place on
January 1st, 1968?

1346
01:17:54,830 --> 01:17:56,580
It couldn't have been any later.

1347
01:17:56,670 --> 01:17:59,750
I started a new job
in L.A. on January 20th.

1348
01:18:00,250 --> 01:18:01,590
I had to move.

1349
01:18:01,670 --> 01:18:04,096
<i>- This is my problem. This guy...</i>
- Arthur Leigh Allen?

1350
01:18:04,180 --> 01:18:06,890
This guy, Leigh, just lays out his entire
evil plan

1351
01:18:06,970 --> 01:18:08,266
to a fishing buddy on New Year's Day?

1352
01:18:08,350 --> 01:18:11,140
I don't know. He's angry, he's been
drinking,

1353
01:18:11,220 --> 01:18:13,606
been thinking about it for a while. I
can buy that.

1354
01:18:13,690 --> 01:18:16,060
So why didn't Cheney contact us sooner?

1355
01:18:16,150 --> 01:18:17,440
I checked. He did.

1356
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,690
First recorded contact with the police
department about Allen

1357
01:18:20,780 --> 01:18:23,610
was in Pomona.
January 10th, 1970.

1358
01:18:23,700 --> 01:18:24,776
He just got lost in the shuffle.

1359
01:18:24,860 --> 01:18:26,576
Did Cheney have anything against Allen?

1360
01:18:26,660 --> 01:18:27,946
Did Allen screw his wife or anything?

1361
01:18:28,030 --> 01:18:29,786
We're gonna do a full background check.

1362
01:18:29,870 --> 01:18:32,370
But I got to tell you,
I like this guy.

1363
01:18:33,540 --> 01:18:35,490
So, let's pull some handwriting samples.

1364
01:18:37,210 --> 01:18:40,340
Hi. I talked to Sherwood.
He got the samples.

1365
01:18:40,420 --> 01:18:42,170
What are you having?
BLT.

1366
01:18:44,550 --> 01:18:47,306
So, the check stubs are a wash. There's
not enough handwriting.

1367
01:18:47,390 --> 01:18:49,966
The application's got more,
but it doesn't look like Z's,

1368
01:18:50,050 --> 01:18:52,346
so he can't rule him in. But he can't
rule him out, either.

1369
01:18:52,430 --> 01:18:53,560
Well, that's vague.

1370
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,230
He needs more samples.

1371
01:18:56,390 --> 01:18:59,150
Also, our guy is a pervert.

1372
01:18:59,230 --> 01:19:01,186
When Mel got the application from Valley
Springs,

1373
01:19:01,270 --> 01:19:03,946
they told him that Allen had been fired
for touching kids.

1374
01:19:04,030 --> 01:19:05,070
Touching?

1375
01:19:05,150 --> 01:19:06,280
Polite euphemism.

1376
01:19:07,700 --> 01:19:09,120
So what do you want to do?

1377
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:10,830
Make some phone calls.

1378
01:19:10,910 --> 01:19:12,490
Are you done with the fries?

1379
01:19:12,580 --> 01:19:13,830
Go ahead.

1380
01:19:13,910 --> 01:19:15,376
<i>Did you and Mr. Cheney have a chance</i>

1381
01:19:15,460 --> 01:19:17,626
<i>to look at the copies of the Zodiac</i>
letters <i>we sent you?</i>

1382
01:19:17,710 --> 01:19:20,210
Yeah. Some of this stuff is pretty creepy.

1383
01:19:20,290 --> 01:19:21,380
<i>Yeah, we know that.</i>

1384
01:19:21,460 --> 01:19:23,210
I mean, creepy like Leigh.

1385
01:19:23,300 --> 01:19:25,920
He misspells words like that.
He thinks it's funny.

1386
01:19:26,010 --> 01:19:28,010
What about the handwriting?

1387
01:19:28,090 --> 01:19:31,180
<i>I don't know. Don't you have experts for</i>
that stuff?

1388
01:19:31,260 --> 01:19:34,060
Our man at Questioned Documents says
it's inconclusive.

1389
01:19:34,140 --> 01:19:36,180
Maybe he did it with his other hand.

1390
01:19:36,270 --> 01:19:37,726
<i>The letters are a little too neat</i>

1391
01:19:37,810 --> 01:19:40,230
<i>for someone to have written
with the wrong hand.</i>

1392
01:19:40,310 --> 01:19:42,060
But not for Leigh, right.

1393
01:19:42,150 --> 01:19:44,070
What do you mean?
<i>He's ambidextrous.</i>

1394
01:19:44,150 --> 01:19:47,570
<i>He can write with either hand.
Didn't you guys know that?</i>

1395
01:19:47,650 --> 01:19:50,280
In everyday life,
Allen uses his left hand.

1396
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:53,030
Job applications, letters to friends, et
cetera.

1397
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,536
But he writes the Zodiac letters with
his right hand

1398
01:19:55,620 --> 01:19:59,710
producing a different handwriting that
he can't be linked to.

1399
01:19:59,790 --> 01:20:01,086
We got to see this guy, Chief.

1400
01:20:01,170 --> 01:20:02,960
- Where is he?
- Vallejo.

1401
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:06,090
He works at Union Oil in Pinole. His
brother's up there, too.

1402
01:20:06,170 --> 01:20:07,220
See them both.

1403
01:20:07,300 --> 01:20:10,010
Make sure you call Mulanax.
It is his backyard.

1404
01:20:10,090 --> 01:20:13,470
Oh, right, because that worked so well
for us in Riverside.

1405
01:20:13,550 --> 01:20:15,970
Cooperation, that's us, at all costs.

1406
01:20:25,530 --> 01:20:27,570
You can talk to him in here.

1407
01:20:27,650 --> 01:20:29,400
Coke machine's busted, by the way.

1408
01:20:30,740 --> 01:20:32,490
I'll go get him for you.

1409
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,330
So how do you guys wanna do this?

1410
01:20:36,410 --> 01:20:39,870
Well, Bill talked to the informants. He
leads, we follow?

1411
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,080
It's okay by me.

1412
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,270
Mr. Allen, I'm
Inspector Bill Armstrong.

1413
01:20:58,350 --> 01:21:01,440
This is Inspector Dave Toschi
and Sergeant Jack Mulanax.

1414
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,730
We're investigating the Zodiac murders in
San Francisco and Vallejo.

1415
01:21:05,820 --> 01:21:07,440
Please, sit down.

1416
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,786
The informant notified us
that you made certain statements

1417
01:21:18,870 --> 01:21:21,620
11 months prior
to the first Zodiac murder.

1418
01:21:21,710 --> 01:21:24,130
If they're true,
they're quite incriminating.

1419
01:21:24,210 --> 01:21:26,630
Do you recall having any such
conversation?

1420
01:21:26,710 --> 01:21:28,130
No.
Have you ever read

1421
01:21:28,210 --> 01:21:29,960
or heard anything about the Zodiac?

1422
01:21:30,050 --> 01:21:31,256
When it was first in the paper.

1423
01:21:31,340 --> 01:21:33,740
But I didn't follow it
after those first reports.

1424
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,300
Why not?

1425
01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:37,180
Too morbid. I...

1426
01:21:37,260 --> 01:21:39,520
I told all this to the other officer.

1427
01:21:40,390 --> 01:21:41,600
Which other officer?

1428
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:42,890
From Vallejo.

1429
01:21:43,980 --> 01:21:45,440
Do you remember his name?

1430
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:49,230
No, but it was right after
the murder at the lake.

1431
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,610
And what did you tell this officer?

1432
01:21:53,490 --> 01:21:57,700
I told him that I'd gone to Salt Point
that weekend to skin dive.

1433
01:21:57,780 --> 01:22:00,620
That I was alone but I met a couple there.

1434
01:22:01,790 --> 01:22:03,960
I have their names at home if you want
them.

1435
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:05,670
That would be great,
Arthur.

1436
01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:08,540
Leigh.
What?

1437
01:22:08,630 --> 01:22:11,260
Leigh. Nobody calls me Arthur.

1438
01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:15,680
Also, that day when I came home, my
neighbor saw me.

1439
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:19,890
It was around 4:00. But I forgot to tell
the other officer that.

1440
01:22:19,970 --> 01:22:21,270
Neighbor's name?

1441
01:22:21,350 --> 01:22:22,390
Bill White.

1442
01:22:24,190 --> 01:22:25,980
He died a week or so afterwards.

1443
01:22:26,060 --> 01:22:29,110
Heart attack. So I didn't think to call
to follow up.

1444
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,606
The knives I had in my car with the
blood on them,

1445
01:22:33,690 --> 01:22:36,450
that blood came from a chicken that I
killed for dinner.

1446
01:22:39,830 --> 01:22:40,950
What?

1447
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,000
I had knives in my car that weekend.

1448
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,880
Maybe Bill saw them and called the other
officer on me.

1449
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,670
Well, we'll be checking in on that.

1450
01:22:50,750 --> 01:22:52,590
Well, let me ask you something else.

1451
01:22:52,670 --> 01:22:57,390
Were you ever in Southern California at
any time in 1966?

1452
01:22:57,470 --> 01:22:59,570
Is this about the Riverside killing?

1453
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,220
Yes.

1454
01:23:01,310 --> 01:23:03,560
Well, I guess I was there around that
time.

1455
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,390
I used to go down there a lot.

1456
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:07,190
I like the auto races.

1457
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,730
Informant says that you're ambidextrous?

1458
01:23:13,820 --> 01:23:15,780
No, that's untrue.

1459
01:23:15,860 --> 01:23:19,240
You can't write with both hands?

1460
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,580
My teachers tried to make me when I was
a kid, but I couldn't.

1461
01:23:22,660 --> 01:23:24,500
I'm left-handed.

1462
01:23:24,580 --> 01:23:27,930
He also said that you made statements
about killing school children.

1463
01:23:29,670 --> 01:23:31,130
That is...

1464
01:23:31,210 --> 01:23:34,460
That is horrible. That is... That's a
horrible thing to say.

1465
01:23:34,550 --> 01:23:37,760
So, you weren't angry about being fired
from Valley Springs

1466
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:39,720
for touching your students?

1467
01:23:49,480 --> 01:23:51,940
I'm not the Zodiac.

1468
01:23:52,020 --> 01:23:55,150
And if I was, I certainly wouldn't tell
you.

1469
01:23:57,150 --> 01:23:59,280
That's a nice watch.

1470
01:24:00,870 --> 01:24:01,950
Thank you.

1471
01:24:02,030 --> 01:24:03,330
May I see it?

1472
01:24:05,370 --> 01:24:06,620
May I see it?

1473
01:24:18,670 --> 01:24:20,130
Where'd you get it?

1474
01:24:20,220 --> 01:24:22,676
It was a Christmas gift
from my mother two years ago.

1475
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:24,930
That's very sweet.

1476
01:24:25,010 --> 01:24:27,180
So, tell me something,
Arthur.

1477
01:24:27,270 --> 01:24:28,680
You don't remember anyone

1478
01:24:28,770 --> 01:24:31,730
you might have had a conversation with
regarding the Zodiac?

1479
01:24:33,860 --> 01:24:39,400
Maybe Ted Kidder or Phil Tucker at
Vallejo Recreation.

1480
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,200
But I couldn't be positive.

1481
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,160
I used to work there when...

1482
01:24:44,740 --> 01:24:46,080
Oh...

1483
01:24:48,290 --> 01:24:50,500
<i>The Most Dangerous Game.</i>

1484
01:24:51,330 --> 01:24:52,580
What?

1485
01:24:52,670 --> 01:24:56,050
<i>The Most Dangerous Game</i>. That's why
you're here, isn't it?

1486
01:24:56,130 --> 01:24:57,756
It was my favorite book in high school.

1487
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,796
It's about this man who waits for people
to get shipwrecked on this island.

1488
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,970
Because he was tired of hunting animals,

1489
01:25:03,050 --> 01:25:04,846
he hunted the people for the challenge.

1490
01:25:04,930 --> 01:25:08,470
And man is the most
dangerous animal of all?

1491
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,730
That's the whole point of the story.

1492
01:25:12,390 --> 01:25:13,600
Great book.

1493
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,400
Or, at least, that's what I told Phil.

1494
01:25:22,990 --> 01:25:24,280
May I go?

1495
01:25:27,870 --> 01:25:29,120
Sure.

1496
01:25:33,790 --> 01:25:34,920
Thanks for your time.

1497
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,170
I'm willing to help in any way possible.

1498
01:25:38,170 --> 01:25:40,260
I look forward to the day

1499
01:25:40,340 --> 01:25:43,840
when police officers are no longer
referred to as pigs.

1500
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:45,800
Thanks.

1501
01:25:47,140 --> 01:25:48,810
We'll be in touch.

1502
01:26:00,530 --> 01:26:04,570
So does anyone think this suspect
warrants further investigation?

1503
01:26:04,660 --> 01:26:08,330
{\an8}These are copies of some of
the Zodiac letters that were sent.

1504
01:26:08,410 --> 01:26:10,740
{\an8}We'd like you to take a look at them.

1505
01:26:11,500 --> 01:26:13,410
You think my brother's the Zodiac.

1506
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:15,420
Well, we're looking at him.

1507
01:26:15,500 --> 01:26:17,080
Are you going to arrest him?

1508
01:26:17,170 --> 01:26:21,090
Mrs. Allen, we don't arrest people just
because we're interested in them.

1509
01:26:21,170 --> 01:26:22,880
Well, Leigh's always been troubled.

1510
01:26:22,970 --> 01:26:24,420
Is it true about the children?

1511
01:26:25,510 --> 01:26:26,760
Unfortunately.

1512
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,640
We don't see him much anymore since we
found out.

1513
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,770
What are your feelings about Don Cheney?

1514
01:26:31,850 --> 01:26:34,190
Don Cheney?
My old roommate?

1515
01:26:34,270 --> 01:26:35,766
Was he the one who contacted you?

1516
01:26:35,850 --> 01:26:37,270
That's confidential.

1517
01:26:37,350 --> 01:26:38,900
Well, Don's a very reliable guy.

1518
01:26:38,980 --> 01:26:42,070
If he were to tell you something, I'd
believe it to be true.

1519
01:26:42,150 --> 01:26:43,320
This one.
What about it?

1520
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,566
Here, where he spells
"Christmas" with two "S's."

1521
01:26:45,650 --> 01:26:48,156
We got a Christmas card from Leigh a
couple years ago.

1522
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:50,740
He spelled it the exact same way.
Christ-mass.

1523
01:26:50,830 --> 01:26:52,160
Would you still have that?

1524
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:53,790
I can look for it.

1525
01:26:53,870 --> 01:26:55,790
Thank you.
That'd be great.

1526
01:26:56,710 --> 01:26:58,710
Is there anything else we can do to help?

1527
01:26:58,790 --> 01:27:00,756
<i>The brother said he would search</i>
Leigh's apartment

1528
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,290
next time he went out of town.

1529
01:27:02,300 --> 01:27:04,296
That gets you around a warrant. For the
time being.

1530
01:27:04,380 --> 01:27:07,680
If we do find something, Mulanax will go
to the DA in Vallejo,

1531
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:09,516
and we could search the place properly.

1532
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:11,096
Now I got a chance to talk to the cop

1533
01:27:11,180 --> 01:27:14,056
who interviewed Leigh Allen two days
after the Berryessa murders.

1534
01:27:14,140 --> 01:27:15,940
Doesn't remember how he got onto him,

1535
01:27:15,940 --> 01:27:18,976
but didn't think he looked like a killer
so he didn't like him for Z.

1536
01:27:19,060 --> 01:27:20,190
But you do?

1537
01:27:20,270 --> 01:27:21,896
I wish I could've taken the guy in there.

1538
01:27:21,980 --> 01:27:24,780
Take it slow, Dave. Try and find more
stuff for Sherwood.

1539
01:27:24,820 --> 01:27:27,070
A match'll get us farther on the warrants.

1540
01:27:27,150 --> 01:27:28,700
Avery's on two.

1541
01:27:28,780 --> 01:27:30,490
Tell him to screw.

1542
01:27:30,570 --> 01:27:34,070
You want me to communicate that verbatim
or can I spice it up a little?

1543
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,380
This suspect is not your Zodiac.

1544
01:27:46,420 --> 01:27:49,006
This sample matches the canceled checks
and the application?

1545
01:27:49,090 --> 01:27:50,590
Mmm-hmm.
Perfectly.

1546
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,386
So we've just retested the left hand. I
mean, we know he's ambidextrous.

1547
01:27:53,470 --> 01:27:56,930
In 38 years, I've never seen anyone that
ambidextrous.

1548
01:27:57,020 --> 01:27:59,600
Both hands would have commonalities.

1549
01:27:59,690 --> 01:28:01,360
I'm sorry.

1550
01:28:01,440 --> 01:28:03,190
Just not gonna work.

1551
01:28:05,110 --> 01:28:06,236
<i>Homicide, Toschi.</i>

1552
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,530
Dave, it's Jack Mulanax.

1553
01:28:07,610 --> 01:28:09,780
Hey. Mulanax. Yeah.

1554
01:28:09,860 --> 01:28:11,076
<i>We struck out with the judge.</i>

1555
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:13,036
<i>He won't sign off on a warrant for</i>
Allen's house.

1556
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,160
Why not?
Said it wasn't enough.

1557
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,576
Now, unless we bring him a handwriting
match or some evidence that...

1558
01:28:17,660 --> 01:28:20,036
How are we gonna get evidence
if we can't toss the house?

1559
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,880
<i>I don't know.</i>

1560
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,210
I truly am sorry.

1561
01:28:23,290 --> 01:28:25,420
<i>No, no. Thank you, Jack.</i>

1562
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:28,050
What do you wanna do?

1563
01:28:28,130 --> 01:28:29,506
Don't know what I can do without
Vallejo.

1564
01:28:29,590 --> 01:28:32,386
We need Allen's right hand. We can't get
it without a warrant.

1565
01:28:32,470 --> 01:28:34,386
Are there other guys
you should be looking at?

1566
01:28:34,470 --> 01:28:36,430
Only, what?

1567
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:38,640
Twenty-three hundred?

1568
01:28:38,730 --> 01:28:39,890
Okay, then.

1569
01:28:43,230 --> 01:28:44,610
Okay, then.

1570
01:29:12,510 --> 01:29:15,390
Paul, you wrote the Justice Department

1571
01:29:15,470 --> 01:29:18,890
{\an8}asking to be put in charge
of the Zodiac investigation?

1572
01:29:20,430 --> 01:29:22,850
{\an8}I merely suggested...

1573
01:29:22,940 --> 01:29:24,270
On our letterhead?

1574
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:25,986
that those with intimate knowledge of
the case

1575
01:29:26,070 --> 01:29:27,820
create an information clearinghouse

1576
01:29:27,900 --> 01:29:30,280
to promote an exchange
and free flow of ideas.

1577
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:31,400
And that you run it.

1578
01:29:31,490 --> 01:29:32,990
Well, who better than me?

1579
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:36,530
The marked man.

1580
01:29:36,620 --> 01:29:38,706
Paul, if you want to work here, I need
three things.

1581
01:29:38,790 --> 01:29:40,290
One, stop boozing.

1582
01:29:40,370 --> 01:29:43,540
Two, stop doing whatever else it is
you're doing.

1583
01:29:43,620 --> 01:29:47,130
And three, cut this nonsense out.

1584
01:29:47,210 --> 01:29:50,300
Sweetest of Templetons, if at any time

1585
01:29:50,380 --> 01:29:55,180
you feel my excellent work is no longer
in step with this trashy provincial rag,

1586
01:29:55,260 --> 01:29:57,390
I'll more than happily...

1587
01:29:57,470 --> 01:30:00,850
More than happily
decamp for greener pastures.

1588
01:30:00,930 --> 01:30:02,180
Paul, I mean it!

1589
01:30:12,860 --> 01:30:14,740
Paul?
Yep.

1590
01:30:14,820 --> 01:30:16,030
What was that?

1591
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,490
Uh...
An editorial tete-a-tete.

1592
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:20,240
Wanna grab a drink?

1593
01:30:20,330 --> 01:30:21,326
It's 10:00 in the morning.

1594
01:30:21,410 --> 01:30:24,000
Late breakfast?

1595
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,040
Early lunch, or...
Paul.

1596
01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:30,090
Are you okay?

1597
01:30:31,130 --> 01:30:32,420
No.

1598
01:30:35,590 --> 01:30:37,430
Thank you for asking.

1599
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,020
Shorty!
Let's go out for one.

1600
01:30:42,100 --> 01:30:43,930
Paul, where are you going?

1601
01:30:45,940 --> 01:30:48,240
<i>So, you moved off my brother-in-law?</i>

1602
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,480
We couldn't get a warrant.

1603
01:30:51,980 --> 01:30:55,530
{\an8}Last year we arranged for Leigh to get
help from a social worker.

1604
01:30:55,610 --> 01:30:57,070
He only went twice.

1605
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:00,120
We saw him recently for the first time in
nine months.

1606
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,580
My mother-in-law brought him by to see
the new baby.

1607
01:31:03,660 --> 01:31:07,000
After he left, I went to see that social
worker.

1608
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:10,416
He couldn't talk about a former patient,
so I just asked him straight out

1609
01:31:10,500 --> 01:31:12,716
if he thought Leigh was capable of
killing people.

1610
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,386
Because of patient confidentiality...

1611
01:31:14,470 --> 01:31:16,050
The man said yes.

1612
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,850
Why hadn't you seen him in nine months?

1613
01:31:19,930 --> 01:31:22,060
He's going to school in Santa Rosa.

1614
01:31:22,140 --> 01:31:23,770
Santa Rosa?
Where is he living?

1615
01:31:23,850 --> 01:31:25,480
In his trailer.

1616
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,600
In Santa Rosa?
Sonoma County.

1617
01:31:27,690 --> 01:31:29,940
We wouldn't have to go
through the Vallejo DA.

1618
01:31:29,980 --> 01:31:31,606
It's been 11 months
since you talked to this guy,

1619
01:31:31,690 --> 01:31:33,146
and now you wanna search his trailer?

1620
01:31:33,230 --> 01:31:35,030
If we find something, great.

1621
01:31:35,110 --> 01:31:38,360
If not, we get his prints and
handwriting samples from both hands.

1622
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,410
I thought Sherwood shut you down.

1623
01:31:41,490 --> 01:31:44,240
What if I can get a second opinion?

1624
01:31:44,330 --> 01:31:47,126
I don't wanna step on Sherwood's toes. He
trained me at this.

1625
01:31:47,210 --> 01:31:49,996
Terry, all I need to know is if the
suspect is ambidextrous.

1626
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:54,090
Could he possibly have written those
letters with his other hand?

1627
01:31:55,340 --> 01:31:56,920
Between you and me?

1628
01:31:57,010 --> 01:32:00,010
Because there are differing
schools of thought on this.

1629
01:32:01,850 --> 01:32:03,226
Get the samples of his other hand.

1630
01:32:03,310 --> 01:32:06,020
If he's the Zodiac, you'll get a match.

1631
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:08,976
<i>That's the current thinking,</i>
according to Terry Pascoe.

1632
01:32:09,060 --> 01:32:12,210
Meanwhile, I spoke to a psychologist
who'd be willing to testify

1633
01:32:12,230 --> 01:32:15,230
that someone who undergoes a personality
change like Zodiac

1634
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,650
would manifest it physically,
altering his handwriting.

1635
01:32:18,740 --> 01:32:21,950
Which is why Sherwood couldn't get a
match from Allen's samples.

1636
01:32:22,030 --> 01:32:24,490
We got Terry Pascoe, this psychology guy,

1637
01:32:24,580 --> 01:32:26,120
coupled with Cheney...

1638
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:27,496
It could be enough for a warrant.

1639
01:32:27,580 --> 01:32:28,830
Get Cheney on the record.

1640
01:32:28,910 --> 01:32:31,380
"And shoot the kiddies
as they came bouncing out.

1641
01:32:31,460 --> 01:32:34,550
"And that he would call himself Zodiac."

1642
01:32:35,340 --> 01:32:36,800
Yes.

1643
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:40,340
And you're willing to swear to this,
under oath, in Superior Court?

1644
01:32:40,430 --> 01:32:41,890
Without any hesitation.

1645
01:32:41,970 --> 01:32:45,136
Thank you very much, Mr. Cheney. Thank
you very much for your time.

1646
01:32:45,220 --> 01:32:46,220
Thank you.

1647
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,140
Well, looks like you got your man.

1648
01:33:10,870 --> 01:33:12,330
Mr. Allen?

1649
01:33:12,420 --> 01:33:14,046
This is the
Santa Rosa Police Department.

1650
01:33:14,130 --> 01:33:17,170
We have a warrant
to search your residence.

1651
01:33:28,180 --> 01:33:29,350
Hello?

1652
01:33:37,940 --> 01:33:40,610
I'll check with the neighbors.

1653
01:33:41,450 --> 01:33:42,700
Close the door.

1654
01:33:42,780 --> 01:33:45,240
Close the door, there's rodents running
around.

1655
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,466
Neighbor said he tore out of here about
a half-hour ago.

1656
01:34:00,550 --> 01:34:01,796
You think somebody tipped him?

1657
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:03,970
We're not leaving till he comes back.

1658
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:12,270
I'll check the back.

1659
01:34:25,070 --> 01:34:26,110
Jesus.

1660
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,160
What?
Squirrels.

1661
01:34:30,290 --> 01:34:32,080
Piece of work, this guy.

1662
01:34:39,340 --> 01:34:41,460
Not one, but two blue windbreakers.

1663
01:34:41,550 --> 01:34:42,800
Like the Stine scene?

1664
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:44,840
We'll have those checked for blood.

1665
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:50,180
And a pair of black gloves.

1666
01:34:50,260 --> 01:34:53,350
Men's seven, just like the ones we found
in the cab.

1667
01:34:53,430 --> 01:34:56,560
Well, he's got the same size shoes and
gloves as Z.

1668
01:34:56,650 --> 01:34:58,690
Probably just a coincidence.

1669
01:34:58,770 --> 01:35:02,940
Dave, I got a gun.
Check that. Two guns.

1670
01:35:03,940 --> 01:35:07,410
They're both .22s. One automatic, one
revolver.

1671
01:35:07,490 --> 01:35:08,786
Well, that's interesting.

1672
01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:12,040
Because he happens to have an M-1 rifle
here in the closet.

1673
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:14,750
For little darlings bouncing off buses.

1674
01:35:16,210 --> 01:35:17,750
Someone's here.

1675
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,380
Hello, Arthur.
Remember us?

1676
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:50,620
No.

1677
01:35:50,700 --> 01:35:51,990
On the handwriting?

1678
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,200
Ballistics, no match. Prints, no match.
Writing, no match.

1679
01:35:55,290 --> 01:35:57,210
On both hands, right?

1680
01:35:57,290 --> 01:35:59,286
Because we got handwriting
from both his hands.

1681
01:35:59,370 --> 01:36:00,710
And neither hand matches.

1682
01:36:00,790 --> 01:36:02,456
Forget Sherwood.
Let's get another opinion.

1683
01:36:02,540 --> 01:36:04,090
Fellas, he's not your guy.

1684
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:12,140
Damn it.

1685
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:21,440
Hey.

1686
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:24,780
What do you want?
Time off?

1687
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,030
A hug?

1688
01:36:28,110 --> 01:36:30,280
Do you know what
the worst part of this is?

1689
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,486
I can't tell if I wanted it
to be Allen so bad

1690
01:36:32,570 --> 01:36:33,996
because I actually thought it was him,

1691
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:35,870
or I just want all this to be over.

1692
01:36:35,950 --> 01:36:37,700
It's because you thought it was him.

1693
01:36:37,750 --> 01:36:39,290
And I did, too.

1694
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:43,730
You know what?
Take some time off.

1695
01:36:43,790 --> 01:36:46,170
Spend some time with your wife and the
kids.

1696
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:50,720
Go to Candlestick.
See a movie.

1697
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:56,350
<i>"To the city of San Francisco,
I will enjoy killing one person every day</i>

1698
01:36:56,430 --> 01:36:59,350
<i>"until you pay me $100,000.</i>

1699
01:36:59,430 --> 01:37:03,060
<i>"If you agree, say so tomorrow morning</i>

1700
01:37:03,150 --> 01:37:06,320
<i>"in the personal column</i>
San Francisco Chronicle,

1701
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,400
<i>"and I will set up meeting.</i>

1702
01:37:08,490 --> 01:37:09,900
<i>"If I do not hear from you,</i>

1703
01:37:09,990 --> 01:37:13,990
<i>"it will be my next pleasure to kill a
Catholic priest or a...</i>

1704
01:37:16,370 --> 01:37:17,990
<i>"Scorpio."</i>

1705
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,710
<i>Who's out of their minds?</i>

1706
01:37:21,790 --> 01:37:23,670
I've got to get out of here.

1707
01:37:23,750 --> 01:37:27,250
<i>Where the hell does he expect me to find
$100,000?</i>

1708
01:37:27,340 --> 01:37:29,716
<i>You're not thinking of paying him,
are you, Mr. Mayor?</i>

1709
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:33,970
<i>The city of San Francisco does not pay
criminals not to commit a crime.</i>

1710
01:37:56,830 --> 01:37:59,540
The killer gets shot in the chest.

1711
01:37:59,620 --> 01:38:01,710
That's how it ends.

1712
01:38:01,790 --> 01:38:03,290
Do I know you?

1713
01:38:03,370 --> 01:38:06,670
I'm, uh, Robert Graysmith. I work at the
Chronicle with Paul Avery.

1714
01:38:06,750 --> 01:38:08,340
Dave Toschi.
Nice to meet you.

1715
01:38:08,420 --> 01:38:11,126
Dave! That Harry Callahan did a hell of
a job with your case.

1716
01:38:11,210 --> 01:38:13,630
Yeah. No need for due process, right?

1717
01:38:18,140 --> 01:38:20,136
What do you do at the <i>Chronicle?</i> I'm a
cartoonist.

1718
01:38:20,220 --> 01:38:21,430
That's nice.

1719
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,020
You're gonna catch him.

1720
01:38:25,150 --> 01:38:27,980
Pal, they're already
making movies about it.

1721
01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:01,850
Hi. We haven't met.

1722
01:39:01,930 --> 01:39:03,930
I'm Robert Graysmith.

1723
01:39:04,020 --> 01:39:05,980
I'm Duffy Jennings.

1724
01:39:06,060 --> 01:39:07,350
Nice to meet you.

1725
01:39:07,440 --> 01:39:08,860
Good to meet you, man.

1726
01:39:08,940 --> 01:39:10,320
You got a great desk.

1727
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:12,700
Guy who used to work here
was a great reporter.

1728
01:39:12,730 --> 01:39:13,816
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I'm sure he was.

1729
01:39:13,900 --> 01:39:16,200
I mean, it's a honor
to leave the <i>Chronicle</i>

1730
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,490
and go work for the <i>Sacramento Bee.</i>

1731
01:39:19,570 --> 01:39:21,450
Dare to dream, right, Robert?

1732
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:26,620
Nice to meet you.

1733
01:39:26,710 --> 01:39:28,080
Nice to meet you, too.

1734
01:39:28,170 --> 01:39:30,296
I'm just right down there
at the Art department

1735
01:39:30,380 --> 01:39:32,670
if you need anything, Duffy.
Yeah.

1736
01:39:36,130 --> 01:39:37,676
You sure you don't want the car, Bill?

1737
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:39,060
It's your turn.

1738
01:39:39,140 --> 01:39:42,140
You could just drop me off at my place
and take the car.

1739
01:39:42,220 --> 01:39:44,390
You should keep the car.

1740
01:39:44,810 --> 01:39:46,690
Yeah?

1741
01:39:46,770 --> 01:39:48,650
I'm not coming in tomorrow.

1742
01:39:50,690 --> 01:39:52,520
Why? What's up?

1743
01:39:53,530 --> 01:39:54,990
I'm done.

1744
01:39:56,110 --> 01:39:58,280
I put in for a transfer.

1745
01:40:03,870 --> 01:40:05,500
Where?

1746
01:40:05,950 --> 01:40:07,580
Looking at Fraud.

1747
01:40:09,790 --> 01:40:12,000
I can't be on call anymore.

1748
01:40:14,670 --> 01:40:17,170
I wanna see these kids grow up.

1749
01:40:18,090 --> 01:40:20,340
Hey, good for you, Bill.

1750
01:40:22,010 --> 01:40:23,350
You'll be okay.

1751
01:40:23,430 --> 01:40:25,020
Yeah. I'll be fine.

1752
01:40:26,810 --> 01:40:28,980
Hey,

1753
01:40:29,060 --> 01:40:32,440
I'm not leaving you holding the bag on
anything, am I?

1754
01:40:34,190 --> 01:40:35,280
No.

1755
01:40:37,440 --> 01:40:38,530
Okay.

1756
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:41,360
Hey, you know what?

1757
01:40:41,450 --> 01:40:45,370
Maybe you'll have a chance to try your
Japanese food, the raw stuff.

1758
01:40:46,540 --> 01:40:48,040
Yeah.

1759
01:41:20,070 --> 01:41:21,740
I'm not Paul Avery.

1760
01:41:24,410 --> 01:41:27,156
The boys need to be tucked in, please,
and the baby needs changing.

1761
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:28,750
I'll flip you for it.

1762
01:41:28,830 --> 01:41:30,120
You wish.

1763
01:41:33,210 --> 01:41:35,710
Nobody has more Zodiac crap than you do.

1764
01:42:20,590 --> 01:42:21,670
Are you kidding me?

1765
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:22,800
Hi, Paul.

1766
01:42:24,340 --> 01:42:25,890
Permission to come aboard.

1767
01:42:25,970 --> 01:42:27,220
It's right there.

1768
01:42:27,300 --> 01:42:29,806
Anyway, you got shoes on.
This is perfect right here.

1769
01:42:29,890 --> 01:42:31,930
That's the one.
Okay.

1770
01:42:33,310 --> 01:42:35,100
See that? Mesmerizing.

1771
01:42:35,190 --> 01:42:36,350
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1772
01:42:36,440 --> 01:42:38,436
My own kids would kill me for one of
those.

1773
01:42:40,940 --> 01:42:42,070
How are you?

1774
01:42:42,150 --> 01:42:43,190
Fantastic.

1775
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,410
I mean, admittedly,

1776
01:42:45,490 --> 01:42:47,866
the <i>Bee</i> ain't exactly the <i>Chron,</i> but fuck
it, right?

1777
01:42:47,950 --> 01:42:51,080
Do you want a drink? I don't have
anything blue, but I got...

1778
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:52,916
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about it.

1779
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,210
It's no bother at all. Nobody comes by
from the old days.

1780
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:58,290
Cheers.

1781
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,250
To your health and mine.

1782
01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:04,260
Mostly mine.

1783
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:10,430
So, um,

1784
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:13,770
what's new?

1785
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:18,440
I've been thinking.
Yeah.

1786
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:19,776
Somebody should write a book.

1787
01:43:19,860 --> 01:43:22,690
Somebody should write a fucking book,
that's for sure.

1788
01:43:22,780 --> 01:43:23,940
About what?

1789
01:43:24,030 --> 01:43:25,570
About Zodiac.

1790
01:43:26,530 --> 01:43:27,780
It's not new.

1791
01:43:27,860 --> 01:43:32,490
I've been thinking that if you put all
the information together,

1792
01:43:32,580 --> 01:43:34,166
maybe you could jog something loose.

1793
01:43:34,250 --> 01:43:36,956
And then I was thinking that nobody
knows the case better than you.

1794
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:38,290
Yeah. That's true.

1795
01:43:38,370 --> 01:43:41,420
You know all the players,
and you have all the files.

1796
01:43:41,500 --> 01:43:42,630
Lost them.

1797
01:43:42,710 --> 01:43:44,130
You lost them?

1798
01:43:44,210 --> 01:43:47,720
Or I tossed them. I don't know. I moved
onto a boat.

1799
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:49,886
You know that we work
in the daily business, right?

1800
01:43:49,970 --> 01:43:51,260
As in, today.

1801
01:43:51,350 --> 01:43:53,640
What do you think we were doing back then?

1802
01:43:54,890 --> 01:43:57,266
Do you know that more people die in the
East Bay commute

1803
01:43:57,350 --> 01:43:59,650
every three months
than that idiot ever killed?

1804
01:43:59,730 --> 01:44:00,940
He offed a few citizens,

1805
01:44:01,020 --> 01:44:04,400
he wrote a few letters,
and he faded into a footnote.

1806
01:44:09,740 --> 01:44:12,780
Not that I haven't been sitting here idly

1807
01:44:12,870 --> 01:44:16,870
waiting for you to drop by and
reinvigorate my sense of purpose.

1808
01:44:19,250 --> 01:44:21,580
It was four years ago.
Let it fucking go.

1809
01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:25,380
You're wrong.
It was important.

1810
01:44:26,460 --> 01:44:28,470
Then, what did you ever do about it?

1811
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,176
If it was so fucking important, what did
you ever do?

1812
01:44:32,260 --> 01:44:34,910
You hovered over my desk,
you stole from wastebaskets.

1813
01:44:34,930 --> 01:44:36,310
Am I being unkind?

1814
01:44:37,930 --> 01:44:39,810
Oh, that's right, I forgot.

1815
01:44:39,890 --> 01:44:41,270
You went to the library.

1816
01:44:44,020 --> 01:44:46,030
I'm sorry I bothered you.

1817
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,050
Hey, hi.
Hi.

1818
01:45:10,130 --> 01:45:11,550
Where you been?

1819
01:45:11,630 --> 01:45:12,800
The library.

1820
01:45:44,210 --> 01:45:45,540
Thank you!

1821
01:46:01,270 --> 01:46:02,940
Inspector Toschi?

1822
01:46:03,020 --> 01:46:04,690
Yeah?
One moment, please.

1823
01:46:09,150 --> 01:46:10,570
Hi.
Hi.

1824
01:46:11,320 --> 01:46:13,110
We met at the movies once.

1825
01:46:14,030 --> 01:46:15,410
It must have been magical.

1826
01:46:15,490 --> 01:46:17,246
I'm Robert Graysmith.
I work at the <i>Chronicle.</i>

1827
01:46:17,330 --> 01:46:19,540
I was wondering if I could buy you lunch.

1828
01:46:21,830 --> 01:46:23,250
Sure, why not?

1829
01:46:23,330 --> 01:46:25,960
So, you're a friend of Paul Avery's?

1830
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,500
He's actually the reason I'm here.

1831
01:46:30,210 --> 01:46:32,970
I wanted to ask you about Zodiac.

1832
01:46:33,050 --> 01:46:36,250
Well, I appreciate the interest, but we
don't discuss open cases.

1833
01:46:36,300 --> 01:46:38,720
Oh, well, what's going on
with it, day to day?

1834
01:46:38,810 --> 01:46:40,680
We're actively pursuing all leads.

1835
01:46:40,770 --> 01:46:43,390
And you're the only one on it, right?

1836
01:46:44,730 --> 01:46:46,020
Mr. Graysmith,

1837
01:46:46,900 --> 01:46:49,110
Zodiac hasn't written in three years.

1838
01:46:49,190 --> 01:46:51,946
You know how many murders we've had in
San Francisco since then?

1839
01:46:52,030 --> 01:46:53,320
No.
Over 200.

1840
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:56,950
That's a lot of dead people and grieving
families that need our help.

1841
01:46:57,030 --> 01:46:58,990
So, nobody cares.

1842
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,580
Excuse me? I care.

1843
01:47:03,700 --> 01:47:06,000
Okay. Can I show you something?

1844
01:47:09,250 --> 01:47:12,260
I've been doing research
on the first cipher.

1845
01:47:12,340 --> 01:47:14,136
Everything an amateur
would need to create it

1846
01:47:14,220 --> 01:47:17,180
can be found in these books.

1847
01:47:17,260 --> 01:47:20,640
Now, I started thinking that if you can
track these books,

1848
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,560
then maybe you can track the man.

1849
01:47:23,640 --> 01:47:26,306
So, I remember you thought
that, uh, Zodiac was military,

1850
01:47:26,390 --> 01:47:30,270
so I went to every base library and I
got a list of every person

1851
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:34,110
who's ever checked out these books and
that's when I found this.

1852
01:47:38,820 --> 01:47:42,240
Missing.
It means they were stolen.

1853
01:47:42,330 --> 01:47:46,120
So, almost every book on ciphers was
stolen from the Presidio Library?

1854
01:47:46,210 --> 01:47:48,540
And the Oakland
Army Terminal Library.

1855
01:47:51,420 --> 01:47:54,920
Somebody didn't want a record of ever
having checked out these books.

1856
01:47:55,970 --> 01:47:57,630
Who are you again?

1857
01:47:59,590 --> 01:48:01,470
I just wanna help.

1858
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:06,890
I can't allow you to help.

1859
01:48:06,980 --> 01:48:08,810
I can't discuss the case with you.

1860
01:48:08,900 --> 01:48:11,316
I can't give you information, and I
certainly couldn't tell you

1861
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:13,690
to go see Ken Narlow in Napa.

1862
01:48:14,070 --> 01:48:15,650
N-A-R-L-O-W.

1863
01:48:25,450 --> 01:48:30,420
I'm sorry, Mr. Graysmith, but we don't
cooperate with writers.

1864
01:48:30,500 --> 01:48:33,000
Well, I'm not a writer,
I'm a cartoonist.

1865
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,260
And Dave Toschi sent you?
Yes.

1866
01:48:36,340 --> 01:48:38,010
Why?
Maybe he...

1867
01:48:38,090 --> 01:48:41,760
Maybe he thought
that I could do some good.

1868
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:43,466
What are you, some kind of boy scout?

1869
01:48:43,550 --> 01:48:45,890
Eagle Scout, actually, first class.

1870
01:48:46,970 --> 01:48:50,190
Well, if you wanna do this,
don't let me stop you.

1871
01:48:51,440 --> 01:48:54,320
Better start with Vallejo,
Jack Mulanax.

1872
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,900
I understand what you're trying to do.

1873
01:48:56,980 --> 01:48:59,200
But this is an open police investigation.

1874
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,410
I'm a friend of
Dave Toschi's.

1875
01:49:01,490 --> 01:49:04,780
And he said that
you might be able to help.

1876
01:49:04,870 --> 01:49:07,790
I mean, the case is dead.
Zodiac's long gone.

1877
01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:10,870
He's yesterday's news, right?

1878
01:49:11,710 --> 01:49:13,710
That's what they say.

1879
01:49:14,630 --> 01:49:16,460
So, what's the harm?

1880
01:49:16,550 --> 01:49:18,170
<i>No pens, no paper.</i>

1881
01:49:18,260 --> 01:49:21,256
Anything that you see that's relevant,
you got to remember in your head.

1882
01:49:21,340 --> 01:49:22,720
Okay.

1883
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:25,970
Okay, here we go.

1884
01:49:26,060 --> 01:49:27,010
Which one?

1885
01:49:27,100 --> 01:49:27,930
All of them.

1886
01:49:28,020 --> 01:49:29,556
And there's more in the next room.

1887
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:31,016
They're all marked with these numbers.

1888
01:49:31,100 --> 01:49:32,230
243-146.

1889
01:49:32,310 --> 01:49:34,310
You don't smoke, do you?

1890
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,860
Once.
In high school.

1891
01:49:39,570 --> 01:49:41,150
What's this?

1892
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:43,660
Thank you.

1893
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,600
{\an8}<i>Man, you really creeped us out.</i>

1894
01:50:19,530 --> 01:50:20,940
{\an8}<i>"Nine millimeter.</i>

1895
01:50:23,030 --> 01:50:25,620
{\an8}<i>"Said nothing and began firing."</i>

1896
01:50:34,370 --> 01:50:35,830
{\an8}<i>"Most Dangerous Game.</i>

1897
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:38,570
{\an8}<i>"Do not eliminate this suspect because
of handwriting.</i>

1898
01:50:38,630 --> 01:50:41,210
{\an8}<i>"Not because of handwriting.</i>

1899
01:50:41,300 --> 01:50:43,090
{\an8}<i>"Darlene's sister, Linda.</i>

1900
01:50:43,170 --> 01:50:46,590
{\an8}<i>"It was all just deep breathing. George.</i>

1901
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,310
{\an8}<i>"It was a strange man.
George. Strange man."</i>

1902
01:50:50,430 --> 01:50:52,100
Thank you so much.

1903
01:50:54,140 --> 01:50:55,980
Oh, briefcase. Oh, thanks.

1904
01:50:58,650 --> 01:50:59,900
Hey, Jack.

1905
01:50:59,980 --> 01:51:01,230
Hey, Bawart.

1906
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:03,150
Who's that?
That's Graysmith.

1907
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:06,320
Some cartoonist. Thinks he's gonna solve
the Zodiac.

1908
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:09,830
Well, good for him.

1909
01:51:39,980 --> 01:51:42,446
Thank you for meeting me, Inspector. No.
We're not meeting, Robert.

1910
01:51:42,530 --> 01:51:43,896
We're just two guys
who happen to be sitting

1911
01:51:43,980 --> 01:51:45,276
on the same bench at the same time.

1912
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,446
I've got five minutes. I've got to get
back to the Hall.

1913
01:51:47,530 --> 01:51:50,490
Okay. Um, as far as you know,
did anyone ever get in touch

1914
01:51:50,570 --> 01:51:52,620
with Mike Mageau during your investigation

1915
01:51:52,620 --> 01:51:54,540
and show him suspect photos?
Why?

1916
01:51:54,620 --> 01:51:57,416
Well, he's the only surviving victim who
ever saw Zodiac without a mask.

1917
01:51:57,500 --> 01:51:58,836
No, I mean, why are you asking me?

1918
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:00,796
Mageau and Darlene, that's Vallejo's case.

1919
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,670
Paul Stine is mine.
You've got four minutes now.

1920
01:52:03,750 --> 01:52:06,090
Uh, Darlene Ferrin was being followed.

1921
01:52:06,170 --> 01:52:08,256
Now, I know Mulanax says that they
already found this guy,

1922
01:52:08,340 --> 01:52:09,260
a George Waters?

1923
01:52:09,340 --> 01:52:10,966
But he also said that she had a lot of
admirers

1924
01:52:11,050 --> 01:52:12,676
who would come to the restaurant where
she worked.

1925
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:14,390
She was popular.
Very.

1926
01:52:14,470 --> 01:52:16,140
Yeah. So...

1927
01:52:16,230 --> 01:52:18,146
She and her husband, they move into their
new house,

1928
01:52:18,230 --> 01:52:19,896
and one night they throw
this painting party.

1929
01:52:19,980 --> 01:52:21,146
And what's a painting party?

1930
01:52:21,230 --> 01:52:23,356
It's a party where people come and help
you paint.

1931
01:52:23,440 --> 01:52:24,840
Sounds like a terrible party.

1932
01:52:24,860 --> 01:52:28,030
Well, supposedly, somebody who's not
Waters shows up.

1933
01:52:28,110 --> 01:52:30,410
And Darlene is terrified of him.

1934
01:52:30,490 --> 01:52:32,036
So you think that
Darlene knew Zodiac?

1935
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:36,620
And if Zodiac knew Darlene, then maybe
Mageau knows Zodiac.

1936
01:52:36,700 --> 01:52:38,540
Maybe. But Mageau's gone.

1937
01:52:38,620 --> 01:52:40,456
So if you wanna connect
Darlene to Zodiac,

1938
01:52:40,540 --> 01:52:41,746
you're gonna have to find another way.

1939
01:52:41,830 --> 01:52:43,170
I have another way.

1940
01:52:43,250 --> 01:52:44,876
Phone calls the night of Darlene's murder.

1941
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:46,510
Yeah, Zodiac called the police.

1942
01:52:46,590 --> 01:52:48,006
No, Dave, there were four other calls.

1943
01:52:48,090 --> 01:52:49,346
There were two to
Darlene's house,

1944
01:52:49,430 --> 01:52:50,506
one to Darlene's brother-in-law,

1945
01:52:50,590 --> 01:52:51,716
and one to
Darlene's father-in-law.

1946
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:52,890
Just heavy breathing.

1947
01:52:52,970 --> 01:52:55,010
They started around, um, 1:30 a.m.,

1948
01:52:55,100 --> 01:52:58,596
and this was before anyone in the family
knew that Darlene had been shot.

1949
01:52:58,680 --> 01:52:59,936
This was in the Vallejo files?

1950
01:53:00,020 --> 01:53:01,020
Yeah.

1951
01:53:01,100 --> 01:53:02,190
God damn it.

1952
01:53:02,270 --> 01:53:03,896
It's got to be more than just a
coincidence, right?

1953
01:53:03,980 --> 01:53:06,816
I mean, somebody doesn't just randomly
prank phone call a victim's entire family

1954
01:53:06,900 --> 01:53:08,860
90 minutes after they were shot.

1955
01:53:08,940 --> 01:53:11,030
So, either Zodiac shoots a random couple,

1956
01:53:11,110 --> 01:53:12,660
then he recognizes Darlene...

1957
01:53:12,740 --> 01:53:14,740
Or Darlene was shot on purpose.

1958
01:53:14,830 --> 01:53:18,410
Either way, Zodiac had to have known
Darlene.

1959
01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:22,080
That's good, Robert.

1960
01:53:22,170 --> 01:53:25,376
So, I can't find Mageau, so, uh, maybe I
can find Darlene's sister.

1961
01:53:25,460 --> 01:53:27,586
And maybe she can tell me
who this mystery man is.

1962
01:53:27,670 --> 01:53:30,300
Try that. I've got to go.
She's very cute.

1963
01:53:34,180 --> 01:53:35,720
You know,

1964
01:53:35,810 --> 01:53:39,186
it's interesting that you should mention
Zodiac calling people at home.

1965
01:53:39,270 --> 01:53:40,726
He did that in
San Francisco once.

1966
01:53:40,810 --> 01:53:42,310
What? Who did he call?

1967
01:53:42,390 --> 01:53:45,110
I can't tell you. That's
privileged information.

1968
01:53:46,110 --> 01:53:48,320
But maybe Melvin Belli could.

1969
01:53:51,150 --> 01:53:52,490
Melvin Belli.

1970
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:55,700
How do I get to
Melvin Belli?

1971
01:53:55,780 --> 01:53:57,410
He should be along soon.

1972
01:53:57,490 --> 01:53:59,040
Oh, that's all right.

1973
01:53:59,120 --> 01:54:01,536
I've really... I've only been waiting
two hours, so...

1974
01:54:01,620 --> 01:54:03,210
He's usually not this late.

1975
01:54:03,290 --> 01:54:06,090
Oh, cookies. Thank you.
These look great.

1976
01:54:06,960 --> 01:54:08,670
You are here on business?

1977
01:54:08,750 --> 01:54:10,800
I'm writing a book about the Zodiac.

1978
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,840
I remember that.
I spoke to him.

1979
01:54:13,930 --> 01:54:15,850
You mean to Mr. Belli about the case?

1980
01:54:15,930 --> 01:54:18,760
No, to the Zodiac when he called.

1981
01:54:18,850 --> 01:54:21,930
He said he had to kill
because it was his birthday.

1982
01:54:22,020 --> 01:54:25,480
He said it... Wait.
He said it was his birthday?

1983
01:54:25,560 --> 01:54:27,980
Yes. You want something to drink?

1984
01:54:28,070 --> 01:54:30,940
Uh... When was this?

1985
01:54:31,030 --> 01:54:33,360
Oh, so many years ago.

1986
01:54:34,660 --> 01:54:37,240
Mr. Belli was away for Christmas.

1987
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:38,370
Gone for a week.

1988
01:54:38,450 --> 01:54:41,000
The Zodiac called, wanting to talk to him.

1989
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:42,790
I said, "He is not here."

1990
01:54:42,870 --> 01:54:45,790
He said, "I have to kill.
Today is my birthday."

1991
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:47,840
And then he hangs up.

1992
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:49,460
Then the letter arrived.

1993
01:54:49,550 --> 01:54:53,590
So, the call came before the letter of
December 20th.

1994
01:54:53,670 --> 01:54:55,800
Mr. Belli was gone for a week?

1995
01:54:55,890 --> 01:54:59,470
He came back on Christmas.
Not a good day to work.

1996
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:01,520
So, he left on the 18th.

1997
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,140
Is that helpful?

1998
01:55:04,230 --> 01:55:05,690
She said it was his birthday.

1999
01:55:05,770 --> 01:55:09,610
<i>Well, you'd have to confirm
that, now wouldn't you?</i>

2000
01:55:09,690 --> 01:55:11,110
How?

2001
01:55:11,190 --> 01:55:14,110
<i>Well, I never spoke to her,
but maybe my partner did.</i>

2002
01:55:14,190 --> 01:55:15,820
How do I get a hold of him?

2003
01:55:15,910 --> 01:55:17,236
<i>You don't.
Bill wanted out of this.</i>

2004
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:19,620
<i>As far as I'm concerned,
he should stay out.</i>

2005
01:55:19,700 --> 01:55:21,156
How do I confirm it?

2006
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:23,416
<i>Well, if my partner did talk to someone
from Justice,</i>

2007
01:55:23,500 --> 01:55:25,496
<i>then they would've had
to put that in a report.</i>

2008
01:55:25,580 --> 01:55:27,540
<i>That's standard procedure.</i>

2009
01:55:27,630 --> 01:55:28,670
Okay.

2010
01:55:28,750 --> 01:55:29,840
<i>Mel Nicolai.</i>

2011
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:31,880
Thank you.
<i>Goodbye.</i>

2012
01:55:31,960 --> 01:55:34,170
I just need to confirm a date.

2013
01:55:34,260 --> 01:55:35,586
Mr. Graysmith...
I've narrowed it down

2014
01:55:35,670 --> 01:55:38,176
between the 18th and the 20th of
December, and I just need...

2015
01:55:38,260 --> 01:55:41,180
Okay, I'll play. Let's say this phone
call did take place.

2016
01:55:41,260 --> 01:55:42,890
Let's say it really was Zodiac.

2017
01:55:42,970 --> 01:55:45,770
Why would he volunteer
the day he was born?

2018
01:55:45,850 --> 01:55:48,020
Plus, nobody died on December 18th,

2019
01:55:48,100 --> 01:55:49,686
just like nobody died over the weekend

2020
01:55:49,770 --> 01:55:51,146
when he was gonna kill a dozen people,

2021
01:55:51,230 --> 01:55:53,146
or when he was gonna shoot school kids or
blow up buses.

2022
01:55:53,230 --> 01:55:54,820
He's a liar,
Mr. Graysmith.

2023
01:55:54,900 --> 01:55:56,570
What if he made a mistake?

2024
01:55:56,650 --> 01:55:58,696
What if he wasn't lying? What if it was
him on the phone?

2025
01:55:58,780 --> 01:56:01,196
He didn't expect to pick it up, a nice
person to pick up.

2026
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:02,620
What if? What if?
What if?

2027
01:56:02,700 --> 01:56:06,040
Look, off the record, Bill Armstrong
checked this out.

2028
01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,750
We took this very seriously.

2029
01:56:08,830 --> 01:56:12,090
None of the suspects had the same
birthday as this phantom caller.

2030
01:56:12,170 --> 01:56:14,380
Bill Armstrong.

2031
01:56:19,930 --> 01:56:21,890
Can I give you a piece of advice?

2032
01:56:21,970 --> 01:56:23,620
You're looking in the wrong place.

2033
01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:27,060
Handwriting, fingerprints, that's what
this whole thing's about.

2034
01:56:27,140 --> 01:56:28,560
Stick to the evidence.

2035
01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:30,480
Hi.

2036
01:56:38,740 --> 01:56:40,530
Hey. How was your day?

2037
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:42,530
Long.

2038
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:48,750
Who's Sherwood Morrill?

2039
01:56:48,830 --> 01:56:51,420
He's a handwriting expert in Sacramento.

2040
01:56:51,500 --> 01:56:52,580
He called.

2041
01:56:52,670 --> 01:56:54,796
He said he can meet you
tomorrow morning at 7:00.

2042
01:56:54,880 --> 01:56:56,510
Oh, great.

2043
01:56:56,590 --> 01:56:57,796
So you're taking off work?

2044
01:56:57,880 --> 01:56:59,260
Uh, just an hour.

2045
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:02,430
Sacramento's two hours away.

2046
01:57:04,140 --> 01:57:05,760
Really?
Yes.

2047
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:08,060
What's this?

2048
01:57:08,140 --> 01:57:10,770
Oh, that's, uh, that article.

2049
01:57:10,850 --> 01:57:14,440
"Robert Graysmith has quietly been
shopping his book about the Zodiac."

2050
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:15,440
Yeah.

2051
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,400
It talks all about you researching Zodiac.

2052
01:57:18,490 --> 01:57:19,906
Well, that's what the article's about.

2053
01:57:19,990 --> 01:57:22,236
I'm not so sure that's something we want
people to know about.

2054
01:57:22,320 --> 01:57:23,660
Why? Are you embarrassed?

2055
01:57:23,740 --> 01:57:27,450
Robert, what's the one thing
we know about Zodiac?

2056
01:57:27,540 --> 01:57:28,536
He reads the <i>Chronicle.</i>

2057
01:57:28,620 --> 01:57:31,370
Yeah, but he's never gonna read Herb Caen.

2058
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:37,130
Hello.

2059
01:57:37,210 --> 01:57:38,380
<i>Mr. Graysmith?</i>

2060
01:57:38,460 --> 01:57:41,180
<i>The Robert Graysmith
mentioned in the paper today?</i>

2061
01:57:41,260 --> 01:57:42,300
Yeah?

2062
01:57:42,380 --> 01:57:44,390
<i>I can tell you who the Zodiac is.</i>

2063
01:57:47,970 --> 01:57:49,140
Who is this?

2064
01:57:49,220 --> 01:57:51,270
<i>The Zodiac Killer is obsessed with movies.</i>

2065
01:57:51,350 --> 01:57:54,270
<i>He recorded his murders on film.</i>

2066
01:57:54,350 --> 01:57:57,526
<i>I tried to tell the police, but they
wouldn't follow through on it.</i>

2067
01:57:57,610 --> 01:57:59,110
<i>There's a man you need to find.</i>

2068
01:57:59,150 --> 01:58:00,570
<i>His name is Bob Vaughn.</i>

2069
01:58:00,650 --> 01:58:03,200
Pen, pen.
<i>V-A-U-G-H-N.</i>

2070
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:05,450
<i>He's a friend of the Zodiac's.</i>

2071
01:58:05,530 --> 01:58:07,880
<i>Mr. Vaughn does not know
his friend is a killer,</i>

2072
01:58:07,950 --> 01:58:10,370
<i>and he is storing
some film canisters for him.</i>

2073
01:58:10,450 --> 01:58:12,160
<i>In these canisters is the evidence.</i>

2074
01:58:12,250 --> 01:58:15,670
Okay, yeah, friend?
Who is this friend?

2075
01:58:15,750 --> 01:58:17,550
<i>You have quite enough to get started.</i>

2076
01:58:17,630 --> 01:58:19,210
Oh, please.

2077
01:58:19,300 --> 01:58:22,760
<i>The Zodiac's name is Rick Marshall.</i>

2078
01:58:26,260 --> 01:58:28,350
Your toast is burning.

2079
01:58:29,350 --> 01:58:31,850
We choose at some point in our lives

2080
01:58:31,930 --> 01:58:35,060
how to physically construct each letter.

2081
01:58:35,150 --> 01:58:37,360
Once we lock that into our brains,

2082
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:39,980
our handwriting may change over the years,

2083
01:58:40,070 --> 01:58:42,530
but the moves themselves remain unaltered.

2084
01:58:42,610 --> 01:58:44,150
Understand?
Yes.

2085
01:58:45,740 --> 01:58:47,700
Except Zodiac's doesn't.

2086
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:52,370
Specifically with his "K."

2087
01:58:52,450 --> 01:58:55,370
In his first letters, he executed the
"K" with two strokes.

2088
01:58:55,460 --> 01:58:56,916
Later letters, he did them with three.

2089
01:58:57,000 --> 01:58:58,090
Why?

2090
01:58:58,170 --> 01:58:59,290
We don't know.

2091
01:58:59,380 --> 01:59:01,340
Uh, excuse me,
I've got to spray this.

2092
01:59:01,420 --> 01:59:04,550
How many suspects were cleared through
handwriting?

2093
01:59:04,630 --> 01:59:06,090
All of them.

2094
01:59:06,180 --> 01:59:09,680
Also the print in the cab.
No match was ever found.

2095
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:13,810
Is there any way that someone could beat
a handwriting test?

2096
01:59:13,890 --> 01:59:15,060
No.

2097
01:59:15,140 --> 01:59:18,810
Whoever the Zodiac is,
he's not someone I cleared.

2098
01:59:18,900 --> 01:59:22,780
About a month ago, a man showed up on my
doorstep very distraught.

2099
01:59:22,860 --> 01:59:25,450
Uh, his name was Wallace Penny.

2100
01:59:25,530 --> 01:59:27,950
He said he knew who the Zodiac was.

2101
01:59:28,030 --> 01:59:30,030
Gave me a name. Um...

2102
01:59:30,120 --> 01:59:32,410
Rick. Rick somebody.

2103
01:59:32,490 --> 01:59:33,660
Rick Marshall?

2104
01:59:33,750 --> 01:59:34,910
Yeah.

2105
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,536
I think that the man who you talked to
called me, too.

2106
01:59:37,620 --> 01:59:40,250
After he left, then I checked my files.

2107
01:59:40,340 --> 01:59:41,890
I never cleared a Rick Marshall.

2108
01:59:49,510 --> 01:59:50,680
Hello?

2109
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:57,350
Hello? Who is this?

2110
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,280
It's a wrong number.

2111
02:00:15,370 --> 02:00:18,540
Does the name Rick Marshall
mean anything to you?

2112
02:00:19,330 --> 02:00:21,590
What are you after?

2113
02:00:21,670 --> 02:00:23,050
What do you got?

2114
02:00:23,130 --> 02:00:26,880
Hypothetically, you just named my
favorite suspect in the whole case.

2115
02:00:28,220 --> 02:00:29,720
This is off the record.

2116
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:32,136
Couple years back, I was trying to get
Marshall's prints.

2117
02:00:32,220 --> 02:00:33,970
I handed him a photo.

2118
02:00:34,060 --> 02:00:36,476
He looks at it. He's about to give it
back and he stops and he says,

2119
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:38,980
"My goodness, I got fingerprints all
over this."

2120
02:00:39,060 --> 02:00:41,560
And he wipes them off.

2121
02:00:41,650 --> 02:00:43,356
Why didn't you test him for handwriting?

2122
02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:46,110
Because when they finally
did run his prints,

2123
02:00:46,190 --> 02:00:48,236
they cleared him against the one in
Stine's cab.

2124
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:49,316
So, then, it's not him.

2125
02:00:49,400 --> 02:00:50,660
Maybe yes, maybe no.

2126
02:00:50,740 --> 02:00:52,620
No. What do you mean?

2127
02:00:52,700 --> 02:00:55,290
Zodiac left gloves behind at the scene.

2128
02:00:55,370 --> 02:00:57,416
If he had the foresight
to bring gloves with him,

2129
02:00:57,500 --> 02:00:59,496
how the hell's he gonna accidentally
leave a print behind?

2130
02:00:59,580 --> 02:01:01,630
But it was in the victim's blood.

2131
02:01:01,710 --> 02:01:03,046
Could have been one of the bystanders,

2132
02:01:03,130 --> 02:01:05,500
or a cop just reaches out,
boom, false print.

2133
02:01:05,590 --> 02:01:08,010
Yeah, but that print
disqualified 2,500 suspects.

2134
02:01:08,090 --> 02:01:09,386
Which is why we also used handwriting.

2135
02:01:09,470 --> 02:01:10,800
But not for Rick Marshall.

2136
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:13,970
SFPD saw a handwritten sign
in the window of his house.

2137
02:01:14,050 --> 02:01:17,890
Decided it looked nothing like the Z
letters, so they just moved on.

2138
02:01:17,980 --> 02:01:20,226
How do they know that Rick Marshall wrote
the sign?

2139
02:01:20,310 --> 02:01:21,600
My thoughts exactly.

2140
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:24,360
Rick Marshall was a Navy man.

2141
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:26,280
He received code training.

2142
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:28,816
He was also a projectionist
at a silent film theater.

2143
02:01:28,900 --> 02:01:30,816
Well, then, how do I get copies of Rick
Marshall's handwriting?

2144
02:01:30,900 --> 02:01:34,780
Three ways. One, get a warrant, which
you can't.

2145
02:01:34,870 --> 02:01:37,200
Two, get him to volunteer, which he won't.

2146
02:01:37,290 --> 02:01:39,200
Yeah, and three?

2147
02:01:39,290 --> 02:01:40,960
Get creative.

2148
02:01:41,040 --> 02:01:43,996
<i>I don't know what to tell you.</i>
You get it, I'll analyze it.

2149
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:45,376
<i>Beyond that, you're on your own.</i>

2150
02:01:45,460 --> 02:01:47,796
Okay, what about
the guy who came to see you,

2151
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:49,300
the one who called me?

2152
02:01:49,380 --> 02:01:51,880
<i>You mean Wallace Penny?</i>

2153
02:01:51,970 --> 02:01:53,890
Yeah. Did he leave a number?

2154
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:04,400
<i>Hello?</i>

2155
02:02:04,480 --> 02:02:06,480
Hi, this is Robert Graysmith.

2156
02:02:06,570 --> 02:02:07,860
<i>How did you find me?</i>

2157
02:02:07,940 --> 02:02:09,906
I need a sample of Rick Marshall's
handwriting.

2158
02:02:09,990 --> 02:02:11,390
<i>I told you. Vaughn is who...</i>

2159
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:14,410
Mr. Penny, if Rick Marshall is the
Zodiac,

2160
02:02:14,490 --> 02:02:16,950
I need a sample of his handwriting to
confirm it.

2161
02:02:17,030 --> 02:02:18,660
Can you help me or not?

2162
02:02:20,330 --> 02:02:25,040
<i>Rick used to draw movie posters for the
theater Vaughn worked at.</i>

2163
02:02:25,130 --> 02:02:27,040
<i>I'll send one down.</i>
Thank you.

2164
02:02:37,010 --> 02:02:38,226
I'll need to see more samples.

2165
02:02:38,310 --> 02:02:39,430
Yeah, but is it...

2166
02:02:39,510 --> 02:02:40,596
It's as close as
I've ever seen.

2167
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:42,130
We have to tread lightly here.

2168
02:02:42,140 --> 02:02:44,606
We're talking about implicating this man
as the Zodiac.

2169
02:02:44,690 --> 02:02:47,686
I can get more. I'll just find Vaughn and
I'll track down Linda.

2170
02:02:47,770 --> 02:02:49,780
I mean,
Linda is Darlene's sister.

2171
02:02:49,860 --> 02:02:52,570
I've been to the DMV,
and I talked to her parents,

2172
02:02:52,650 --> 02:02:55,780
but still, nobody knows where to find her.

2173
02:02:55,860 --> 02:03:00,330
Mr. Graysmith, most of the writing
matches the exemplar.

2174
02:03:00,410 --> 02:03:03,246
In a way, though, it's the part that
doesn't match that scares me the most.

2175
02:03:03,330 --> 02:03:04,750
What do you mean?

2176
02:03:04,830 --> 02:03:06,000
Well, on the poster,

2177
02:03:06,080 --> 02:03:09,170
the one letter that absolutely,
positively does not match

2178
02:03:09,250 --> 02:03:10,880
is the letter "K."

2179
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:16,720
You wouldn't happen to have any animal
crackers in there, would you?

Jennings here from the <i>Chronicle.</i>

2186
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:43,326

see it right now.

02:03:50,710 --> 02:03:53,000
Shit.
All right, come on.

<i>Good evening.
Our top story tonight,</i>

2204
02:04:37,170 --> 02:04:39,720
<i>the San Francisco Police Department has</i>
confirmed

2205
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:42,300
<i>that the man who calls himself the</i>
Zodiac

2206
02:04:42,390 --> 02:04:46,770
<i>and terrorized the Bay Area has broken
his silence of 51 months.</i>

2207
02:04:46,850 --> 02:04:49,310
<i>In a letter claiming,
"I am back with you,"</i>

2208
02:04:49,390 --> 02:04:53,230
<i>the Zodiac makes no overt threats
against the citizenry,</i>

2209
02:04:53,320 --> 02:04:56,196
<i>and muses that his life and times would
make the best movie script yet.</i>

2210
02:04:56,280 --> 02:04:57,780
These carrots are perfect.

<i>The terse 66 word message also manages...</i>

2212

Just go.

2213
02:05:00,910 --> 02:05:03,446
<i>to mention San Francisco Chronicle
columnist</i> Herb Caen

2214
02:05:03,530 --> 02:05:06,500
<i>and the Department's own
David Toschi by name.</i>

2215
02:05:06,580 --> 02:05:08,280
May I be excused?
<i>Are they targets?</i>

2216
02:05:08,290 --> 02:05:09,416
Fine, but you have to come back

2217
02:05:09,500 --> 02:05:10,916

<i>Thank you, Eric.</i>

2222

<i>San Francisco Chronicle columnist
Armistead Maupin says</i>

2223
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:22,430
<i>that he thinks not only
is this new letter a forgery,</i>

2224
02:05:22,510 --> 02:05:24,260
<i>but it was written by the very man</i>

2225
02:05:24,350 --> 02:05:27,930
<i>trusted to hunt down this killer,
David Toschi.</i>

2226
02:05:28,020 --> 02:05:31,850
<i>Maupin, a very well-respected author,
has gone on record saying</i>

2227
02:05:31,940 --> 02:05:34,770
<i>that he believes
Toschi wrote the letter</i>

2228
02:05:34,860 --> 02:05:36,570
<i>to drum up publicity for himself.</i>

2229
02:05:36,650 --> 02:05:39,736
Maupin used David
as a character in his column.

2230
02:05:39,820 --> 02:05:41,950
David got a kick out of it

2231
02:05:42,030 --> 02:05:44,036
and so he wrote
a couple of anonymous letters

2232
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:46,036
asking for the character
to be brought back.

2233
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:48,950
<i>It was like writing fan mail to himself.
That's all.</i>

2234
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:51,460
<i>But David did not write that letter.</i>

2235
02:05:51,540 --> 02:05:54,456
No, I'm sure that he didn't. And I'm
sure that this will all blow over.

2236
02:05:54,540 --> 02:05:56,130
<i>Blow over?</i>

2237
02:05:56,210 --> 02:05:58,170
They kicked him out of Homicide.

2238
02:05:58,260 --> 02:06:01,930
They made him give his handwriting like
some common criminal.

2239
02:06:02,010 --> 02:06:03,180
May I talk to him?

2240
02:06:03,510 --> 02:06:05,180
<i>No.</i>

2241
02:06:05,260 --> 02:06:06,560
Okay, can you just ask him

2242
02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:09,140
if he ever investigated
a man named Rick Marshall?

2243
02:06:09,220 --> 02:06:10,810
Is that all you can think about?

2244
02:06:10,890 --> 02:06:14,310
Mr. Graysmith, Maupin works at your
paper. We trust...

2245
02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:21,986
This girl, she wants music lessons?

2246
02:06:22,070 --> 02:06:23,570
Dave! Dave!

2247
02:06:25,530 --> 02:06:27,740
I'll catch up to you.

2248
02:06:27,830 --> 02:06:29,826
You stop calling my house.
Do you understand me?

2249
02:06:29,910 --> 02:06:32,040
I just need your help to find Linda.

2250
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:34,170
Jesus.
Look, two seconds.

2251
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,380
Look, we've been
running handwriting samples.

2252
02:06:38,460 --> 02:06:39,590
Who's we?

2253
02:06:39,670 --> 02:06:40,960
Sherwood and I.

2254
02:06:41,050 --> 02:06:41,970
Sherwood?

2255
02:06:42,050 --> 02:06:44,346
Sherwood who was fired
from Questioned Documents?

2256
02:06:44,430 --> 02:06:45,926
Sherwood who drinks like Paul Avery now?

2257
02:06:46,010 --> 02:06:47,010
He retired.

2258
02:06:47,100 --> 02:06:48,390
Is that what he told you?

2259
02:06:48,470 --> 02:06:49,846
What, are you saying he's wrong?

2260
02:06:49,930 --> 02:06:51,980
I'm saying stop calling my house.

2261
02:06:53,180 --> 02:06:54,726
We ran them on Rick Marshall.
No, Robert.

2262
02:06:54,810 --> 02:06:56,146
No, I know you don't think it's him.

2263
02:06:56,230 --> 02:06:58,026
I mean, no, I am not having this
conversation.

2264
02:06:58,110 --> 02:07:00,606
But I think that Marshall knew Darlene,
and I can't talk to Mageau or Linda,

2265
02:07:00,690 --> 02:07:01,776
so I'm gonna talk to Bob Vaughn.

2266
02:07:01,860 --> 02:07:03,310
Robert. Robert, stop it!
What?

2267
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:05,446
Okay, the Rick Marshalls of this world
will suck you dry.

2268
02:07:05,530 --> 02:07:06,910
They're blind alleys.

2269
02:07:06,990 --> 02:07:09,406
But he said he wasn't gonna announce his
murders anymore, Dave.

2270
02:07:09,490 --> 02:07:10,870
He was just gonna do them.

2271
02:07:10,950 --> 02:07:13,286
Do you know what the chances of us
arresting someone are now?

2272
02:07:13,370 --> 02:07:17,500
Too much time has gone by, okay? Too
much of the evidence is lost.

2273
02:07:17,580 --> 02:07:20,750
People get old, Robert.
They forget.

2274
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:24,880
Now, I have been a cop for 25 years.
Murder police for 12.

2275
02:07:24,970 --> 02:07:26,216
What do you do for a living?

2276
02:07:26,300 --> 02:07:27,386
You know what I do for a living.

2277
02:07:27,470 --> 02:07:28,470
You're a cartoonist.

2278
02:07:28,550 --> 02:07:29,720
So what are you saying?

2279
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:33,220
I am saying Zodiac was my job. It is not
yours.

2280
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:37,020
He's still out there, Dave.

2281
02:07:37,100 --> 02:07:40,190
No, Robert. I am through with this. I am
through with you.

2282
02:07:46,910 --> 02:07:49,410
What about
September 26, 1970?

2283
02:07:49,490 --> 02:07:50,656
Okay, which one was that?

2284
02:07:50,740 --> 02:07:53,160
The Lake Tahoe nurse goes missing.

2285
02:07:56,040 --> 02:07:57,416
One day before the vernal equinox.

2286
02:07:57,500 --> 02:07:59,420
Dad?
Yeah. Mark that.

2287
02:07:59,500 --> 02:08:03,130
Oh. Got another one.
June 19th, 1971.

2288
02:08:03,210 --> 02:08:06,010
That's got to be near the summer solstice.

2289
02:08:08,340 --> 02:08:09,640
Oh, guys.

2290
02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:13,220
Don't tell Mom about
our special project, okay?

2291
02:08:13,310 --> 02:08:16,430
How come you and Mom don't sleep in the
same bed anymore?

2292
02:08:20,480 --> 02:08:21,520
Hello.

2293
02:08:21,610 --> 02:08:23,610
<i>Mr. Graysmith, it's Ken Narlow from Napa.</i>

2294
02:08:23,690 --> 02:08:27,780
Oh, Captain Narlow. Um, thank you for
calling me, uh, back. Um...

2295
02:08:27,860 --> 02:08:29,780
<i>Yeah. How can I help?</i>

2296
02:08:29,860 --> 02:08:32,746
I called you because we've
been cross-referencing lunar cycles

2297
02:08:32,830 --> 02:08:34,490
with the Zodiac's timeline.

2298
02:08:34,580 --> 02:08:38,830
More often than not, each cycle since
'69 corresponds with an attack

2299
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:41,630
or with one of the letters,
or an unsolved homicide.

2300
02:08:41,710 --> 02:08:43,290
<i>Who's working with you on this?</i>

2301
02:08:43,380 --> 02:08:44,840
Uh, some colleagues.

2302
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:46,460
Dad?

2303
02:08:46,550 --> 02:08:47,886
Uh, Ken, can you hold on one second?

2304
02:08:47,970 --> 02:08:48,800
Dad?

2305
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:51,760
What is it? What's this?

2306
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:58,476
<i>In the decade since the</i>
Zodiac's <i>last cipher was received,</i>

2307
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:02,270
<i>every federal agency has taken a crack
at decoding it.</i>

2308
02:09:02,360 --> 02:09:04,940
{\an8}<i>But today, where those agencies had
failed,</i>

2309
02:09:05,020 --> 02:09:07,740
{\an8}<i>a cartoonist has succeeded.</i>

2310
02:09:07,820 --> 02:09:09,700
<i>How did you do it?</i>

2311
02:09:09,780 --> 02:09:12,280
<i>Oh, uh, just a lot of
books from the library,</i>

2312
02:09:12,370 --> 02:09:14,170
<i>and I, uh, love puzzles, so I just...</i>

2313
02:09:17,290 --> 02:09:18,870
Yeah. The fucking library.

2314
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:21,456
<i>I believe that you can accomplish
anything that you put your mind...</i>

2315
02:09:25,130 --> 02:09:28,260
That's a "J"?
Okay. Honor Camp?

2316
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:31,510
Thank you so much.

2317
02:09:33,470 --> 02:09:35,726
Hey, we found Linda. She's in jail. Isn't
that great?

2318
02:09:35,810 --> 02:09:36,970
Why'd you do it?

2319
02:09:37,060 --> 02:09:38,516
Because she'll be able to identify Rick...

2320
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:39,596
What are you talking about?

2321
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:41,810
You went on TV.

2322
02:09:41,900 --> 02:09:43,566
You put yourself out there for him to see.

2323
02:09:43,650 --> 02:09:45,190
Oh, hon, you're being paranoid.

2324
02:09:45,270 --> 02:09:47,276
Then who's been calling our house in the
middle of the night

2325
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:48,530
at least once a week?

2326
02:09:48,610 --> 02:09:49,940
Nobody.

2327
02:09:51,450 --> 02:09:53,326
What's it gonna take
for you to be done with this?

2328
02:09:53,410 --> 02:09:56,330
I can't talk about this now.
I have to go see Bob Vaughn.

2329
02:09:56,410 --> 02:09:59,260
Well, that's too bad, because we're gonna
talk about this.

2330
02:09:59,620 --> 02:10:02,000
And when is it gonna be finished?

2331
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:04,130
When you catch him?
When you arrest him?

2332
02:10:04,210 --> 02:10:05,290
Be serious.

2333
02:10:05,380 --> 02:10:06,460
I am serious.

2334
02:10:08,050 --> 02:10:11,760
I... I need to know who he is.

2335
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:15,010
I... I need to stand there,

2336
02:10:15,090 --> 02:10:19,020
I need to look him in the eye and I need
to know that it's him.

2337
02:10:20,890 --> 02:10:23,310
Is that more important
than your family's safety?

2338
02:10:23,390 --> 02:10:24,560
Of course not.

2339
02:10:26,730 --> 02:10:29,480
Why? Why do you need to do this?

2340
02:10:30,650 --> 02:10:31,950
Why?

2341
02:10:34,070 --> 02:10:35,870
Because nobody else will.

2342
02:10:35,950 --> 02:10:37,910
That's not good enough.

2343
02:10:37,990 --> 02:10:39,870
Are you done?
Can I go?

2344
02:10:55,260 --> 02:10:56,300
Mr. Vaughn?

2345
02:10:56,390 --> 02:10:57,430
Mr. Graysmith?

2346
02:10:57,510 --> 02:10:58,560
Yes.
Hi.

2347
02:10:58,640 --> 02:10:59,970
You needed to speak to me?

2348
02:11:00,060 --> 02:11:02,480
Yes. There's a coffee shop
right on the corner.

2349
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:04,110
Why don't we just go to my home?

2350
02:11:04,190 --> 02:11:05,650
Oh, I don't wanna put you out.

2351
02:11:05,730 --> 02:11:07,270
It's no trouble at all.

2352
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:08,690
Where are you parked?

2353
02:11:08,770 --> 02:11:09,900
Uh, just right there.

2354
02:11:09,980 --> 02:11:12,190
You can follow me.

2355
02:11:12,280 --> 02:11:14,030
Oh. Okay.

2356
02:11:32,380 --> 02:11:33,970
Watch your step.

2357
02:11:35,430 --> 02:11:37,140
Come in.

2358
02:11:38,550 --> 02:11:39,760
Very nice house.

2359
02:11:39,850 --> 02:11:41,680
Oh, thank you.

2360
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:43,640
It's very rustic.

2361
02:11:43,730 --> 02:11:45,100
Can I take your jacket?

2362
02:11:45,180 --> 02:11:46,900
Um, no, thank you,
I'm fine.

2363
02:11:46,980 --> 02:11:48,980
Okay. This way, please.

2364
02:11:51,730 --> 02:11:53,480
Have a seat.
Thank you.

2365
02:11:53,570 --> 02:11:54,820
How about some tea?

2366
02:11:54,900 --> 02:11:56,320
Oh, no, I'm all right.

2367
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:58,490
You sure?
Yes.

2368
02:11:58,570 --> 02:12:02,120
I wanted to ask you, uh, about a film
that the Avenue may have played

2369
02:12:02,200 --> 02:12:04,120
while you were the organist there.

2370
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:06,660
<i>The Most Dangerous Game?</i>

2371
02:12:06,750 --> 02:12:09,920
Oh, it's a classic.
RKO. 1932.

2372
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:15,130
Fay Wray, Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks.
We've run that picture many times.

2373
02:12:15,210 --> 02:12:17,220
In '68, '69?

2374
02:12:17,300 --> 02:12:20,180
Hmm, I'd have to check my records. Why?

2375
02:12:20,260 --> 02:12:22,560
Do you remember the Zodiac?

2376
02:12:24,220 --> 02:12:27,020
This is about Rick Marshall, isn't it?

2377
02:12:27,100 --> 02:12:28,850
He was a projectionist there, right?

2378
02:12:28,940 --> 02:12:30,520
For a time, yes.

2379
02:12:30,610 --> 02:12:34,690
But I have no occasion to correspond with
him these days.

2380
02:12:34,780 --> 02:12:37,240
Okay. Well, there is a connection

2381
02:12:37,320 --> 02:12:39,910
between one of the Zodiac attacks and
that film.

2382
02:12:39,990 --> 02:12:41,950
You mean the symbol?

2383
02:12:43,370 --> 02:12:44,870
Hold on.

2384
02:12:44,950 --> 02:12:49,580
The Zodiac symbol on film.
It's on the countdown.

2385
02:12:52,960 --> 02:12:55,590
It's trimmed off each reel
before it's shown,

2386
02:12:55,670 --> 02:12:58,220
but it always arrives with it.

2387
02:12:58,300 --> 02:13:00,220
Right there.

2388
02:13:00,300 --> 02:13:04,390
The first time I saw it in the papers, I
thought about that.

2389
02:13:04,470 --> 02:13:06,390
We got a tip

2390
02:13:06,470 --> 02:13:10,690
that Rick left a film canister here that
he told you never to open.

2391
02:13:10,770 --> 02:13:13,730
A tip about a mysterious film canister?

2392
02:13:14,570 --> 02:13:15,730
Is it true?

2393
02:13:17,820 --> 02:13:19,150
Yes.

2394
02:13:19,610 --> 02:13:20,740
Did you open it?

2395
02:13:20,820 --> 02:13:21,820
No.

2396
02:13:21,910 --> 02:13:23,570
May I see it?

2397
02:13:23,660 --> 02:13:26,540
Rick took it back in 1972.

2398
02:13:27,910 --> 02:13:32,920
This tip is how you got it in your head
that Rick is the Zodiac?

2399
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:34,670
That and the poster.

2400
02:13:34,750 --> 02:13:36,130
The poster?

2401
02:13:38,050 --> 02:13:39,840
The poster that Rick drew.

2402
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:43,140
The handwriting is the closest that we
have ever come to a match.

2403
02:13:43,220 --> 02:13:44,850
Rick didn't draw any posters.

2404
02:13:44,930 --> 02:13:46,720
No, he drew this one.

2405
02:13:46,810 --> 02:13:50,520
Mr. Graysmith,
I do the posters myself.

2406
02:13:51,230 --> 02:13:53,310
That's my handwriting.

2407
02:14:01,530 --> 02:14:04,450
I won't... I won't take
any more of your time.

2408
02:14:04,530 --> 02:14:09,910
Why don't I just go and find out when we
played that film?

2409
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:11,460
Oh, that's all right.

2410
02:14:11,540 --> 02:14:14,790
It's not a problem. They're just down in
the basement.

2411
02:14:16,590 --> 02:14:19,710
Not many people have basements in
California.

2412
02:14:22,510 --> 02:14:23,800
I do.

2413
02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:27,680
You coming,
Mr. Graysmith?

2414
02:14:39,150 --> 02:14:42,650
The original studio one-sheets, I always
kept for myself.

2415
02:14:44,530 --> 02:14:47,080
The cheapo knock-offs
like you brought today

2416
02:14:47,160 --> 02:14:50,330
I end up tossing into the back alley.

2417
02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:06,340
'69.

2418
02:15:11,810 --> 02:15:13,270
You live alone?

2419
02:15:13,350 --> 02:15:19,150
Uh-huh. <i>Most Dangerous Game</i> ran
in May '69.

2420
02:15:19,230 --> 02:15:22,530
So, that would be about

2421
02:15:22,610 --> 02:15:26,160
nine weeks before the first Zodiac
letter, correct?

2422
02:15:27,410 --> 02:15:29,450
Uh, yeah.

2423
02:15:34,370 --> 02:15:38,670
Do you think he saw the film in our
theater and was inspired?

2424
02:15:44,760 --> 02:15:47,640
Are you sure there's nobody else in the
house?

2425
02:15:49,260 --> 02:15:51,640
Would you like to go upstairs and check?

2426
02:15:52,640 --> 02:15:53,810
No.

2427
02:15:56,810 --> 02:15:59,480
Thank you.
Thanks for everything.

2428
02:16:00,190 --> 02:16:02,070
You're welcome.

2429
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:24,380
It's locked.

2430
02:16:35,430 --> 02:16:36,560
Thank you.

2431
02:16:39,480 --> 02:16:41,690
Good night,
Mr. Graysmith!

2432
02:17:01,630 --> 02:17:05,340
Two killers. Got to be two killers. One
has the...

2433
02:17:13,180 --> 02:17:14,390
Guys?

2434
02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:49,880
You've got five minutes.

2435
02:17:58,020 --> 02:17:59,020
Linda?

2436
02:18:00,310 --> 02:18:01,810
Hi, I'm Robert.

2437
02:18:05,770 --> 02:18:07,530
Did you get my note?

2438
02:18:08,110 --> 02:18:09,440
What's this about?

2439
02:18:09,530 --> 02:18:10,530
Zodiac.

2440
02:18:11,990 --> 02:18:13,030
Figures.

2441
02:18:14,370 --> 02:18:15,700
You got the look.

2442
02:18:15,780 --> 02:18:17,330
What look?

2443
02:18:17,410 --> 02:18:19,450
I didn't mean anything.

2444
02:18:20,620 --> 02:18:23,040
Tell me about this painting party.

2445
02:18:24,210 --> 02:18:26,840
I told the cops about that so long ago.

2446
02:18:30,300 --> 02:18:32,046
Darlene always had a lot of boys around,

2447
02:18:32,130 --> 02:18:34,090
even though she was married.

2448
02:18:34,180 --> 02:18:36,010
And this one guy was weird, though.

2449
02:18:36,100 --> 02:18:39,640
He, um, used to bring her presents from
Tijuana and...

2450
02:18:40,850 --> 02:18:43,480
I don't know why she was friends with him.

2451
02:18:43,560 --> 02:18:46,060
She once told me he'd killed somebody.

2452
02:18:46,150 --> 02:18:47,730
Really?

2453
02:18:47,820 --> 02:18:50,026
Yeah, I think maybe
when he was in the service.

2454
02:18:50,110 --> 02:18:52,070
Navy?
I think so.

2455
02:18:52,150 --> 02:18:54,360
Was he into movies?
Was he a movie buff?

2456
02:18:54,450 --> 02:18:57,370
I can tell you that
he was not into people.

2457
02:18:57,450 --> 02:18:58,870
The party Darlene threw,

2458
02:18:58,950 --> 02:19:01,996
people were supposed to just show up and
drink beer, help paint.

2459
02:19:02,080 --> 02:19:04,330
But this guy showed up in a suit,

2460
02:19:04,420 --> 02:19:07,170
and just sat in a chair all by himself
all night long.

2461
02:19:07,250 --> 02:19:08,750
Didn't talk to anyone.

2462
02:19:08,840 --> 02:19:10,416
And Darlene told me to stay away from him.

2463
02:19:10,500 --> 02:19:12,050
She was scared of him.

2464
02:19:14,840 --> 02:19:17,300
And a couple of weeks later, she was dead.

2465
02:19:17,390 --> 02:19:19,850
I'm sorry. Do you remember his name?

2466
02:19:20,850 --> 02:19:24,770
I mean, it was short,
like a nickname, like Stan.

2467
02:19:24,850 --> 02:19:25,980
Rick?

2468
02:19:26,060 --> 02:19:27,110
No, I don't think so.

2469
02:19:28,020 --> 02:19:29,110
Are you sure?

2470
02:19:29,190 --> 02:19:30,480
Yeah.

2471
02:19:30,570 --> 02:19:32,906
How can you be sure? It was a long time
ago. Think hard.

2472
02:19:32,990 --> 02:19:35,030
I am thinking hard.

2473
02:19:35,110 --> 02:19:36,530
It was Rick.

2474
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:38,620
No, it wasn't.

2475
02:19:38,700 --> 02:19:39,996
It was Rick.
It was Rick Marshall.

2476
02:19:40,080 --> 02:19:41,120
No.

2477
02:19:41,200 --> 02:19:42,910
Just say it!

2478
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:44,870
It wasn't Rick.

2479
02:19:52,710 --> 02:19:53,880
It was Leigh.

2480
02:19:57,050 --> 02:19:58,300
Leigh?

2481
02:19:58,390 --> 02:19:59,600
Yeah, Leigh.

2482
02:20:00,890 --> 02:20:02,060
Sounds right.

2483
02:20:06,850 --> 02:20:09,900
Officer! I need you to let me in.

2484
02:20:09,980 --> 02:20:11,030
Is this an emergency?

2485
02:20:11,070 --> 02:20:11,936
No, I just need to see one file.

2486
02:20:12,020 --> 02:20:13,856
No, you need to come back
tomorrow morning.

2487
02:20:13,940 --> 02:20:16,156
One file, just for one second. 8:00
a.m., when we're open.

2488
02:20:16,240 --> 02:20:18,110
Sergeant!
Sergeant Mulanax!

2489
02:20:18,200 --> 02:20:20,450
Sergeant, I just need to see one file!

2490
02:20:20,530 --> 02:20:23,950
Just give me five minutes.
I know exactly where it is.

2491
02:20:24,910 --> 02:20:26,120
Please!

2492
02:20:39,470 --> 02:20:41,180
I shouldn't be talking to you.

2493
02:20:41,260 --> 02:20:43,100
You got five minutes.
Okay.

2494
02:20:45,310 --> 02:20:46,890
Here. Here.

2495
02:20:46,980 --> 02:20:50,650
Linda states that some of Darlene's
closest friends are Leigh,

2496
02:20:50,730 --> 02:20:53,900
who used to bring Darlene
presents from Tijuana.

2497
02:20:53,980 --> 02:20:55,690
So what?
He knew her.

2498
02:20:55,780 --> 02:20:57,530
Linda said Leigh.
This is Leigh.

2499
02:20:57,610 --> 02:21:00,026
No. That's just one name in a file that
contains hundreds.

2500
02:21:00,110 --> 02:21:01,620
It's nothing.

2501
02:21:02,320 --> 02:21:03,410
Dave Toschi...

2502
02:21:03,490 --> 02:21:04,950
Agrees with me.

2503
02:21:05,040 --> 02:21:07,960
Our investigation
into this subject is over.

2504
02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:12,210
I'm sorry.

2505
02:21:14,170 --> 02:21:16,460
Uh-oh.

2506
02:21:21,430 --> 02:21:22,800
Hello.

2507
02:21:37,940 --> 02:21:39,150
Who's there?

2508
02:21:42,820 --> 02:21:44,076
You didn't return my calls.

2509
02:21:44,160 --> 02:21:46,330
Oh, I've been kind of busy.

2510
02:21:46,410 --> 02:21:48,080
Yeah. I can see that.

2511
02:21:50,500 --> 02:21:52,170
How's the book coming?

2512
02:21:55,380 --> 02:21:57,210
I tried to send you these.

2513
02:21:58,510 --> 02:22:00,260
I called the <i>Chron.</i>

2514
02:22:00,340 --> 02:22:03,180
Well, I'm not a cartoonist anymore, so...

2515
02:22:04,510 --> 02:22:05,930
I heard.

2516
02:22:11,060 --> 02:22:13,690
When's the last time you ate something?

2517
02:22:16,190 --> 02:22:18,150
Nothing makes sense anymore.

2518
02:22:21,030 --> 02:22:22,110
Did it ever?

2519
02:22:22,200 --> 02:22:23,200
Yeah, it did.

2520
02:22:24,780 --> 02:22:28,120
Robert, it was just the date that didn't
end.

2521
02:22:28,200 --> 02:22:30,000
You don't mean that.

2522
02:22:31,370 --> 02:22:32,620
A little.

2523
02:22:35,460 --> 02:22:37,290
The kids miss you.

2524
02:22:37,380 --> 02:22:38,916
I can't have them see me like this.

2525
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:40,300
Neither can I.

2526
02:22:41,220 --> 02:22:43,180
So, do whatever you have to,

2527
02:22:44,300 --> 02:22:45,890
but finish this.

2528
02:23:13,410 --> 02:23:14,580
Dave!

2529
02:23:15,330 --> 02:23:17,000
Dave! It's Robert!

2530
02:23:19,130 --> 02:23:20,590
Dave!
Is he actually here?

2531
02:23:20,670 --> 02:23:22,840
I'm gonna kill him.

2532
02:23:22,920 --> 02:23:25,590
I'm calling SFPD.
Where's my gun?

2533
02:23:28,100 --> 02:23:29,260
Dave!

2534
02:23:29,350 --> 02:23:31,100
Robert! Go away!

2535
02:23:31,180 --> 02:23:33,180
Dave! He made a mistake!

2536
02:23:33,270 --> 02:23:35,226
Get away from the window.
I'll meet you around front.

2537
02:23:35,310 --> 02:23:36,810
No, you won't.

2538
02:23:37,770 --> 02:23:39,020
You have to hear this!

2539
02:23:39,110 --> 02:23:40,110
No, I don't, Robert!

2540
02:23:40,110 --> 02:23:42,740
The birthday was the one time that he
was weak!

2541
02:23:42,820 --> 02:23:44,486
The one time that he gave something away!

2542
02:23:44,570 --> 02:23:45,696
Robert,
I am calling the police.

2543
02:23:45,780 --> 02:23:47,320
It's Arthur Leigh Allen!

2544
02:23:52,870 --> 02:23:55,370
Where did you get that name?

2545
02:23:55,460 --> 02:23:57,000
He called the Bellis' house.

2546
02:23:57,080 --> 02:23:59,336
December '69. "I need to kill. Today's
my birthday."

2547
02:23:59,420 --> 02:24:01,210
It was his birthday.

2548
02:24:01,300 --> 02:24:04,210
Arthur Leigh Allen was born on December
18th.

2549
02:24:07,470 --> 02:24:08,840
Get in here.

2550
02:24:10,970 --> 02:24:12,060
Here you go.

2551
02:24:12,140 --> 02:24:13,140
Thanks.

2552
02:24:16,100 --> 02:24:17,980
He wrote me, you know?

2553
02:24:18,650 --> 02:24:19,900
2,500 suspects,

2554
02:24:19,980 --> 02:24:22,900
the only one who ever wrote me a letter
was Leigh Allen.

2555
02:24:24,570 --> 02:24:26,066
They like to help, you know, sometimes.

2556
02:24:26,150 --> 02:24:28,990
Yes, Robert, I know.

2557
02:24:29,070 --> 02:24:31,780
He was arrested January 1975 for
molestation.

2558
02:24:31,870 --> 02:24:33,580
He sent me that when he got out.

2559
02:24:33,660 --> 02:24:36,626
"Dear Dave, if I can ever be of any help
to you, just let me know.

2560
02:24:36,710 --> 02:24:38,580
"I'm sorry I wasn't your man."

2561
02:24:38,670 --> 02:24:40,040
And it's typewritten.

2562
02:24:40,130 --> 02:24:42,710
Using a typewriter is not a crime.

2563
02:24:44,170 --> 02:24:45,960
And he knew Darlene.

2564
02:24:47,340 --> 02:24:49,340
It's in the Vallejo files.

2565
02:24:54,350 --> 02:24:57,890
Mulanax said that he was your favorite
suspect.

2566
02:24:57,980 --> 02:24:59,940
That you spent two years on him,

2567
02:25:00,020 --> 02:25:01,980
and that nobody ever came close.

2568
02:25:05,190 --> 02:25:07,030
All the evidence said no.

2569
02:25:08,490 --> 02:25:10,340
Sherwood disqualified his handwriting.

2570
02:25:10,410 --> 02:25:13,330
The same Sherwood that drinks like Paul
Avery now?

2571
02:25:14,870 --> 02:25:16,616
Yes, you have Sherwood Morrill in
writing saying,

2572
02:25:16,700 --> 02:25:17,956
"I'm sorry, this just won't work."

2573
02:25:18,040 --> 02:25:19,626
- But you also have Terry Pascoe...
- His protege.

2574
02:25:19,710 --> 02:25:21,110
Yeah, fine, it's his protege,

2575
02:25:21,170 --> 02:25:22,876
but he's a handwriting expert
nonetheless, and he's saying,

2576
02:25:22,960 --> 02:25:25,296
"Do not disqualify this suspect on the
basis of handwriting."

2577
02:25:25,380 --> 02:25:27,506
So the two cancel each other out. No,
they don't.

2578
02:25:27,590 --> 02:25:28,920
It was Sherwood's case.

2579
02:25:29,010 --> 02:25:30,466
He was the head of Questioned Documents.

2580
02:25:30,550 --> 02:25:31,970
If it went to trial,

2581
02:25:32,050 --> 02:25:35,180
all the defense would have to do is call
Sherwood to the stand.

2582
02:25:35,260 --> 02:25:37,726
And there was no way of getting Allen
into court in the first place,

2583
02:25:37,810 --> 02:25:39,056
because there was no evidence, Robert.

2584
02:25:39,140 --> 02:25:40,146
What do you mean, there's no evidence?

2585
02:25:40,230 --> 02:25:41,646
You have him seen with the ciphers.

2586
02:25:41,730 --> 02:25:43,856
The military boot prints. The same size
shoes and gloves.

2587
02:25:43,940 --> 02:25:45,990
<i>The Most Dangerous Game.</i>
The Zodiac watch.

2588
02:25:46,070 --> 02:25:47,486
The background with school children.

2589
02:25:47,570 --> 02:25:49,406
The misspellings of Christ-mass. The
bloody knives.

2590
02:25:49,490 --> 02:25:51,160
All circumstantial.

2591
02:25:51,240 --> 02:25:54,200
Paul Stine's shirt, his wallet, his keys.

2592
02:25:54,280 --> 02:25:55,866
We should have found one of those things
in that trailer.

2593
02:25:55,950 --> 02:25:57,910
We didn't.
That's...

2594
02:26:00,500 --> 02:26:02,330
Okay. Catherine Allen states that

2595
02:26:02,420 --> 02:26:04,246
"Leigh cleaned out his trailer on Friday
after work

2596
02:26:04,330 --> 02:26:08,130
"and moved it to Santa Rosa on Saturday,
August 7th, 1971."

2597
02:26:08,210 --> 02:26:10,336
You interviewed him at the refinery on
August 4th.

2598
02:26:10,420 --> 02:26:12,216
Yeah. So, he's cleaning out his trailer,

2599
02:26:12,300 --> 02:26:16,010
he's moving into a different county 48
hours after you interviewed him?

2600
02:26:17,390 --> 02:26:20,600
Okay. Okay. Look at the stuff side by
side, Dave.

2601
02:26:20,680 --> 02:26:21,980
All right.

2602
02:26:22,060 --> 02:26:24,686
Okay, Arthur Leigh Allen and the Zodiac,
their timelines.

2603
02:26:24,770 --> 02:26:26,066
When was the first murder in Vallejo?

2604
02:26:26,150 --> 02:26:27,520
Christmas, 1968.

2605
02:26:27,610 --> 02:26:30,156
Eight months before that, Allen is fired
for molesting his students

2606
02:26:30,240 --> 02:26:32,366
and his family discovers
that he's a pedophile.

2607
02:26:32,450 --> 02:26:33,576
Now, when do the letters begin?

2608
02:26:33,660 --> 02:26:34,740
July, '69.

2609
02:26:34,820 --> 02:26:36,366
After the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

2610
02:26:36,450 --> 02:26:39,700
And they continue until you go to see
him at work.

2611
02:26:39,790 --> 02:26:41,206
Now, after that, do any of the letters

2612
02:26:41,290 --> 02:26:43,036
contain swatches of
Paul Stine's shirt?

2613
02:26:43,120 --> 02:26:44,916
No. Because he dumped them,
because he got scared.

2614
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:46,756
Because he knew that you were on to him.

2615
02:26:46,840 --> 02:26:48,376
So, when's the next letter from Zodiac?

2616
02:26:48,460 --> 02:26:50,590
Not until January of 1974.

2617
02:26:50,670 --> 02:26:52,090
He is silent for three years.

2618
02:26:52,170 --> 02:26:54,006
Then, in '74, he feels comfortable again

2619
02:26:54,090 --> 02:26:55,756
because everybody's moved off
Allen as a suspect.

2620
02:26:55,840 --> 02:26:57,390
And what do we get?

2621
02:26:57,470 --> 02:27:00,970
Three new letters from Zodiac in
January, May, and July in '74.

2622
02:27:01,060 --> 02:27:02,640
But then the letters stop.

2623
02:27:02,730 --> 02:27:03,980
What happens to Allen?

2624
02:27:07,900 --> 02:27:10,230
He's arrested.

2625
02:27:10,320 --> 02:27:13,650
January, 1975,
they send him to Atascadero.

2626
02:27:13,740 --> 02:27:16,656
We don't get another letter from Zodiac
the entire time he's there.

2627
02:27:16,740 --> 02:27:18,080
When is he released?

2628
02:27:18,160 --> 02:27:19,240
August, '77.

2629
02:27:19,330 --> 02:27:23,040
Allen gets out. He types you an apology,
and then what?

2630
02:27:23,120 --> 02:27:26,460
We get our first new Zodiac letter in
four years.

2631
02:27:32,130 --> 02:27:35,340
Okay. Zodiac had to have known Darlene
Ferrin, right?

2632
02:27:35,430 --> 02:27:37,846
Yes, because of the phone calls on the
night of her murder.

2633
02:27:37,930 --> 02:27:40,760
Because of the Vallejo file,

2634
02:27:40,850 --> 02:27:43,060
we know that Darlene knew a man named
Leigh?

2635
02:27:43,140 --> 02:27:43,930
Yes.

2636
02:27:44,020 --> 02:27:45,476
So, all coincidence aside, Robert,

2637
02:27:45,560 --> 02:27:48,526
how can you be sure that Leigh Allen is
the Leigh from this file?

2638
02:27:48,610 --> 02:27:51,260
Now, Vallejo is a small town,
but it's not that small.

2639
02:27:51,280 --> 02:27:52,776
How do you put the two of them together?

2640
02:27:52,860 --> 02:27:55,946
This is a case that's covered both
Northern and Southern California,

2641
02:27:56,030 --> 02:27:58,446
with victims and suspects spread over
hundreds of miles.

2642
02:27:58,530 --> 02:28:01,290
Would you agree?
Yes.

2643
02:28:01,370 --> 02:28:04,250
Darlene Ferrin worked at the Vallejo
House of Pancakes

2644
02:28:04,330 --> 02:28:06,960
on the corner of
Tennessee and Caroll.

2645
02:28:09,670 --> 02:28:14,550
Arthur Leigh Allen lived in his mother's
basement on Fresno Street.

2646
02:28:16,220 --> 02:28:19,640
Door to door, that is less than 50 yards.

2647
02:28:22,850 --> 02:28:24,560
Is that true?

2648
02:28:25,560 --> 02:28:27,060
I've walked it.

2649
02:28:30,900 --> 02:28:32,360
Jesus Christ.

2650
02:28:38,820 --> 02:28:40,070
So?

2651
02:28:43,950 --> 02:28:45,540
The prints, the handwriting...

2652
02:28:45,620 --> 02:28:46,970
I'm not asking you as a cop.

2653
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:48,620
But I am a cop.

2654
02:28:51,460 --> 02:28:53,340
I can't prove this.

2655
02:28:53,420 --> 02:28:56,550
Just because you can't prove it, doesn't
mean it's not true.

2656
02:28:56,630 --> 02:28:58,300
Easy, Dirty Harry.

2657
02:29:01,890 --> 02:29:03,430
Finish the book.

2658
02:29:12,360 --> 02:29:14,650
Thank you.
Thank you for breakfast.

2659
02:30:23,090 --> 02:30:24,640
Can I help you?

2660
02:30:26,260 --> 02:30:27,310
No.

2661
02:31:48,640 --> 02:31:49,810
Mr. Mageau.

2662
02:31:50,680 --> 02:31:53,020
Thanks for coming to see me.

2663
02:31:53,100 --> 02:31:54,646
You're the one I talked to on the phone?

2664
02:31:54,730 --> 02:31:56,270
I'm George Bawart.
Vallejo PD.

2665
02:31:56,350 --> 02:31:58,810
I took over for Jack Mulanax.

2666
02:31:58,900 --> 02:32:02,070
It's been 22 years. I don't know how I
can help you.

2667
02:32:02,150 --> 02:32:03,356
Well, this is just a formality.

2668
02:32:03,440 --> 02:32:04,696
I'm gonna show you a group of photographs.

2669
02:32:04,780 --> 02:32:06,826
Now, the person that shot you may or may
not be

2670
02:32:06,910 --> 02:32:08,490
among these photographs.

2671
02:32:08,570 --> 02:32:09,996
You don't have to pick anybody out

2672
02:32:10,080 --> 02:32:12,536
just because I'm showing you these
pictures, you understand?

2673
02:32:12,620 --> 02:32:13,870
Uh, yes, sir,
I do.

2674
02:32:15,040 --> 02:32:16,410
All right.

2675
02:32:17,210 --> 02:32:19,330
Take your time.

2676
02:32:19,420 --> 02:32:22,090
If you don't recognize anyone, that's
okay.

2677
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:34,850
That's him.

2678
02:32:36,520 --> 02:32:38,270
How sure are you?

2679
02:32:38,350 --> 02:32:40,440
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

2680
02:32:43,110 --> 02:32:44,236
He had a round face like this guy.

2681
02:32:44,320 --> 02:32:45,520
Wait. Am I to understand

2682
02:32:45,570 --> 02:32:47,316
that you're now identifying
the second photograph?

2683
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:50,620
No, no. Just that he had a round face
like that.

2684
02:32:52,660 --> 02:32:54,160
It's this man.

2685
02:32:55,040 --> 02:32:56,370
All right.

2686
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:01,290
Now, on a scale of one to 10, 10 being
positive,

2687
02:33:05,550 --> 02:33:06,800
how sure are you?

2688
02:33:10,720 --> 02:33:12,390
At least an eight.

2689
02:33:14,970 --> 02:33:18,850
The last time I saw this face
was July 4th, 1969.

2690
02:33:22,270 --> 02:33:25,110
I am very sure that's the man who shot me.
