[Voiceover] Dear Pastor Revingol,

I'm very sorry to add this additional burden to your work.

I left myself in the hands of God's justice and mercy,

but apparently he saw fit to ignore my prayers.

What I have done is for the best,

as far as the children's souls are concerned.

I know that many will look

at the additional years they could've lived,

but if they were no longer servants of God,

what would be gained?

I'm sure many will say

"How could anyone do such a horrible thing?"

My only answer is "it wasn't easy."

This was only done after much thought.

If we were just dealing with one issue alone,

we may have pulled through.

But considering everything, it was all just too much.

At least I'm certain that all of them are in heaven now.

I know that nothing I can say will make it right,

but I am assured of making peace with God

because of Christ's sacrifice.

Even for people like me.

Kind regards, John.

P.S. Mother is in the bedroom upstairs.

She was too heavy to move.

Bob, breakfast ready!

[Pastor on radio] America needs a tidal wave

of the old-time religion.

America needs to be taken down to God's bath house

and the hose turned on her,

and the time isn't far distant

when the wheels of God's judgment

are going to go sweeping through this old God-hating world.

I want to take a pledge

and this audience to join me in a pledge

that you will never rest until this old God-hating,

Christ-hating, whisky-soaked, Sabbath-breaking,

blaspheming, infidel, bootlegging old world

is bound to the cross of Jesus Christ

by the golden chains of love.

[door closing]

[soft music]

- Thanks, honey. - You're welcome.

[eerie music]

Bless us, O Lord, as we give thanks

for these gifts from Thy bounty.

-[both] Amen.

What the hell did you do all day?

Just watch TV?

I got so bored of that

I actually started watching the neighbors.

I never knew you were into voyeurism.

- Good to know. - Not like that.

If you watch people for long enough,

you realize their lives run like clockwork.

They leave the house the same time every morning,

mow the lawn every Saturday.

Such a routine existence.

Housebound for less than a week,

and you're already having an existential crisis.

Maybe I am.

Don't the neighbors ever do anything exciting?

I wouldn't say exciting.

Sometimes they do stuff that's kind of funny.

Like what?

Like poor Mrs. Corbits at number 11

looks like she's having a party every night.

Lights keep flashing on and off the whole time.

Then I realized what was going on.

They have one of those clap-on clap-off lights installed.

Oh yeah, "The Clapper."

I've seen that on TV.

Why would she be clapping constantly?

I wondered that, then my Dad told me she has Tourette's.

[laughing]

Wait, so you're telling that the lights go on and off

when you say fuck too?

No, Tourette's doesn't just cause cursing.

You get physical tics.

One of Mrs. Corbits' tics is that she slaps her leg,

so every time she does that, the lights go off,

so she has to clap to get them back on again.

[laughing]

- Guys, it's not funny. - Yes it is!

- It's a serious condition. - That's terrible!

Also it's creepy you're just watching her.

It's a little funny.

It's been 18 years.

No one can say that we haven't given this ample time.

Let's give back the task force to you and Wayne Harris.

Now Wayne is retired, it's time you closed this chapter too.

I can't justify any more manpower

on a case that's colder than Alaska.

So what do you suggest I do, sir?

Stop taking this case so personally, move on.

If you've seen what he did to that family,

what he done to those kids...

Listen, you got a lotta cases

in the "win" column over the years.

This is a rare one that got away from you.

You gotta accept that.

It's time to let it go.

He's got a point.

You took that case too personally.

Come on, Wayne.

We worked our asses off, and he still got away.

Motherfucker made a fool out of all of us.

Is that what really stings, Frank?

That your ego took a dent?

Well maybe it did.

Come on, you saw the crime scene.

A guy could do that to his own blood, running free?

I take it you're not gonna heed the Chief's advice.

[chuckles] No.

But now he's pulled the plug I gotta go it alone.

The first thing's the press.

Nationally syndicated magazines, newspapers.

Maybe I can get someone

interested in doing a follow-up story.

Nearly 20 years later?

Come on, Frank.

We don't even know if he's still in the country.

- He is. - How can you be so sure?

Everybody we spoke to about List

told us he was a cheerleader for the American dream.

Marriage, suburbia, church.

He lived for that shit.

And nobody has Christian family values like Uncle Sam.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

[knocking]

Yeah?

Thank you.

Never realized the neighbors were so interesting. [chuckles]

Look over there, the garden of number 10.

[Dad] What am I supposed to be looking at here?

There's a guy mowing his lawn.

[Stephanie] Yeah, in a suit.

Who mows their lawn in a shirt and tie?

It's a little weird, I guess.

Do you know much about that guy?

Bob Clark?

We said hello from time to time.

Can't say I've spoken to him much.

I've had a few conversations with his wife, Dolores.

She seems nice.

I've never really noticed him before,

but last night, he was watching me from the upstairs window.

Really?

Yeah, it was kinda creepy.

You weren't lookin' through

I might've been.

Oh Christ, Steph.

You really need to find something better

to do with your time.

After the murders,

List cut himself out of every photograph in the house.

We discovered he'd lost his job

at the Jersey City Bank a few weeks before.

We're pretty sure he never shared

this information with his family.

He'd skim money from his mother's bank account

to avoid defaulting on the mortgage.

He emptied what was left on the day of the killings

and that's what he used to relocate.

[News anchor] Good evening.

In view of the difficult events

that we cover here on this show,

I'm delighted to start tonight with some positive news.

Rapist and murderer David James Roberts

is behind bars because of you, the viewers.

Our regulars will remember that we profiled Roberts

on the show last week,

and he's considered one of America's most wanted criminals.

[rotary phone dialing]

Roberts murdered a man by the name of Bill Patrick,

his wife, and their child.

He also raped the mother and killed her six month old son.

[phone ringing]

- Yeah? - Frank?

[News anchor continues indistinct]

Turn on channel five.

[News anchor] For two years...

What am I looking at?

It's a new TV show.

They profile fugitives on the run

and then ask viewers to call in with tips.

This shit actually works?

The host said some guy on the run for two years

was arrested after 75 callers identified him.

Well, all right.

Let me check it out, I'll give you a call back.

Okay.

[News anchor] He's been called the Green River Killer

ever since the first bodies, five of them,

were pulled from this river.

Um, Steph, this is Mr. Clark.

He's come over to apologize.

I startled her again.

I seem to be making a habit of that today.

Stephanie, I'm Bob.

Feel I owe you an explanation.

Mrs. Atherton next door goes to my church.

She mentioned on Sunday

that she had some vermin on her property,

so I offered to get rid of it for her.

With a gun?

Isn't that a little excessive?

So focused on trying to do a good deed for a neighbor,

and it just didn't occur to me.

But afterwards, when I saw you,

I realized how scary it may have been.

The last thing I wanna do is frighten a neighbor.

Goddamn rats! [scoffs]

Some guy in New Jersey killed his family 18 years ago.

Light reading, huh, Steph?

This guy looks just like Bob Clark.

[laughing]

Oh, Steph.

Check out the eyes, it's him!

Look kinda similar, but I don't think it's the same guy.

You'll at least admit he's a total weirdo though, right?

Well, I felt we were two seconds away

from him selling us a watchtower,

but that hardly qualifies him

as somebody who would murder his own family!

Dad, that's him.

Steph, oh Steph!

Why can't you read somethin' else?

I've never seen the guy before.

How am I supposed to know if that's him?

Oh my God, you're taking pictures of him too?

Stalking much?

Well this isn't helping, Steph!

Looks like you took these from space.

Yeah, I couldn't exactly go up to him

and ask for a close-up, could I?

[Danny] You gonna call the cops, Steph?

Not yet, I need some actual proof that it is him.

[Melissa] How do you plan to get that?

Not sure yet, but I'll think of something.

All right, well I gotta head to practice.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[Reporter on TV] More bodies have been discovered nearby,

Look Bob, what do you think?

New dress?

Yeah, isn't it beautiful?

How much did it cost?

I got it on sale for 30 bucks.

That's a little steep.

Is this for the church benefit?

Yeah.

It's a little figure-hugging.

Don't I have a nice figure?

But is it appropriate for the pastor

and congregation to see it?

I don't think it's inappropriate.

I think I look nice.

[tense music]

You know I love you, don't you?

Yes.

Do you love me?

Of course I do.

Then please respect my wishes.

Find a more modest dress for the benefit, okay?

Fine.

Thank you.

[Stephanie] What was he doing?

I dunno, he was kinda freaking out.

He was pacing back and forth, agitated as hell.

Then he threw a magazine across the room.

That magazine?

I dunno, I couldn't really see it.

But he seemed pretty mad about it.

He must have seen it when I dropped it in the kitchen.

Gone and bought a copy.

We don't know anything for sure, you know?

I mean, think about it.

If we took this to the cops,

they'd say that the evidence was pretty thin.

I know that.

Oh, God.

What?

You got that look.

What look?

You know, that look you get when you're gonna ask me

to do something that I don't wanna do.

Every Sunday, Clark and his wife go to church.

[Danny] Yeah.

They're out of the house for like three hours.

They leave at 8:30 and come back around midday.

Oh no, Steph.

I am not breaking into his house.

I didn't ask you to.

I didn't say anything.

Okay.

What do you want me to do?

Break into his house.

[scoffs] I knew it, I knew it!

You know breaking and entering is a felony, right?

I could go to jail.

You wouldn't have to actually break in.

His wife leaves the spare key under a plant pot

next to the front door.

Okay, so if...

If I do this...

What am I supposed to be looking for?

Any evidence that proves Clark is John List.

Oh, come on Steph.

You really think he's gonna keep incriminating shit

lying around all these years later?

No, but there might be an older photo.

If we had a picture with a clear resemblance,

it would help convince the cops.

Yeah, but...

How are we gonna explain how we got it?

I mean, surely the cops are gonna know

that I broke into his house.

What are they gonna care more about?

Busting you for stealing a photo

or catching some guy who murdered his whole family?

I can't believe I'm gonna do this.

I must be crazy.

Thanks for meeting me today, Miss Phillips.

I know you're very busy.

Please, call me Ellen.

Ellen.

The show you produce, it's intriguing.

Never seen anything quite like it before.

Well, I brought it to the network.

But it's really John Wesley's brainchild.

You heard what happened to his kid, right?

He was murdered, wasn't he?

That's right, his young son.

John noticed, when dealing with the media,

how quickly they could get information out there.

The TV coverage helped catch his son's killer.

If it's used in the right way,

the media can be a powerful weapon.

It can.

Of course, if I'm being honest, I've gotta admit

the media's motives are hardly noble.

Everyone who works in this business understands,

if it bleeds, it leads.

Why do you think people are so fascinated by murder?

Killers tantalize people.

Like traffic accidents or natural disasters.

The actions of a killer are horrible,

but the public just can't look away.

So, did you get a chance

to have a look over the details of the List case?

I did.

And will you consider featuring it on the show?

It's the kind of taboo crime

that intrigues and horrifies people.

But the problem is it took place so long ago.

You have one picture that's over 20 years old.

The guy probably looks very different now.

I'd have to question whether or not

we'd get the audience response we need

to make an identification.

But it's worth a shot, isn't it?

I don't think the network is going to want

to blot our copy book by featuring cases

which are unlikely to have a positive outcome.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying it's a "pass" for now.

But if you get any additional information

that could improve the chances of an identification,

then we'll certainly consider it for future broadcast.

I spoke to your producer Ellen Phillips.

I'm trying to get a case featured on the show.

Well, if you go through her channels,

she's gonna arrange that for you.

Oh no, she rejected it, sir.

Well I'm sorry to hear that.

We have a rather full plate right now.

We can't feature everybody,

but perhaps some time in the future.

Well you see, time is a factor here, sir.

Look, Detective, that's just the way it works here.

We have to go through the channels, you know?

I know what happened to your son.

Yeah, well, it's a matter of public record, unfortunately.

John List murdered both of his sons in cold blood.

Frederick, John Junior.

They were 13 and 15.

His daughter, too.

Tricia.

She was 16.

I've been working this case for nearly two decades now.

Our department shut me down

and I'm having to do it on my own time.

All because I am still haunted by that crime scene.

Three beautiful children snuffed out by a man

who's supposed to love and protect them.

They deserve justice, Mr. Wesley.

Come on, looks like you can use a drink.

It was July back in '81.

Aaron was our first and only son at the time.

My wife Deborah and I were living the American dream.

Had a great job in real estate, beautiful home.

Deborah always wanted to be a mother,

so when Aaron came along,

our lives were complete.

And one day we were in a department store, browsing.

Aaron was with us.

Laughing, running in and out

of the aisles like he always did.

Couldn't have turned our back on him for more than a minute,

he was gone.

Knowing that he was out there,

alone, frightened, without us...

I felt so helpless.

Two weeks later they found his body in a river.

Opportunist abduction, murder.

And our lives completely changed in a matter of minutes.

The day they found Aaron's body,

my heart broke into a million pieces.

Years later I'm still trying to put it back together.

I'm sorry.

I think what hurt even more was the fact

that the local police department's

response was so poor.

I mean, with all due respect to you, Detective,

they didn't know their head from their ass.

I can only imagine if they'd been a little bit more decisive

we could've found Aaron before that animal took his life.

Well, if it had come to my department,

it would've been a different story.

Yeah, I appreciate that.

But when the media got involved,

I realized that we could create this wide awareness.

It also restored my faith in human nature

at a very dark time.

We received over 40,000 letters from all over the country.

People wishing us well, sympathizing,

sharing their own stories.

And I knew that if I could get information out there

on a national scale and galvanize the public

into being directly involved with finding those criminals,

we could solve cases

that would generally never stand a chance.

This is why I came to you, Mr. Wesley.

I don't share a bloodline with the List children,

but in death, I've got to know them so well.

I talked to everybody about Frederick

and John Junior and Patricia.

I learned about all the things they loved.

Their dreams, aspirations.

If I'd have caught List, then there'd be closure.

But as long as he's still out there, this'll never be over.

Those children will never be at peace.

I know.

Took us years to find Aaron's murderer.

Closure is important.

It really is.

I've been chasing it for 18 years.

Look, Frank, I can't promise anything.

I'm usually a servant to the network

in these kind of things, but...

I'll do my best.

Try and get you on the show.

Thank you, John.

I appreciate that.

So what do you wanna do next?

I don't know.

Well, one thing's for sure,

I'm not sneaking around his house anymore.

It's too risky.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

I'll live.

Maybe I should just call the cops.

At least then that would shine a spotlight on him.

Maybe his ID's don't check out.

They'll discover who he really is.

And if we're wrong, they'll bust us

for wasting police time.

You don't still have doubts, do you?

I don't know.

We're gonna need more than just suspicion

before we call the cops.

I know, we've been through this.

Look, I'm gonna go home.

I'm pretty tired.

Okay.

- Good to meet you. - You too.

So you're a sculptor?

Actually, autodidact forensic artist.

You'll have to forgive me, Dave.

I'm a little behind the times.

What exactly does your job entail?

Facial reconstructions of fugitives

based on outdated pictures.

Aging a sculpted bust

to show how they may look in the present day.

See Frank, here's the problem you have.

That photograph that we have of List is as old as hell.

Viewers need to see what he looks like today

in order to make a positive ID.

That's where Dave comes in.

He fabricates that age-progressed bust

so that our viewer gets a pretty good indication

of what List might look like today.

Massively improve your chance of a positive ID.

It sounds terrific, but we can't be certain

of what List looks like now,

so it's gonna be kinda speculative, isn't it?

I'll be based on a lot of research.

I'll create some various key questions.

Where does he live?

The city, the suburbs?

And what kind of clothes does he wear?

I think he would wear a pair of thick dark brown glasses.

Why do you think that?

I think he would wanna look more astute,

you know, more in control than he really was.

Well, it could be you've got the right handle on this guy.

I mean, that guy broke into my car and he threatened me.

It's okay to be scared.

I am too.

I just don't know what to do.

I mean, that prick said he was watching me.

He's watching both of us.

So what are we gonna do?

I don't know.

But I do know that being together

is better than being apart.

Makes sense.

Or to put it bluntly,

if you still care about me at all, then get over here.

I do still care about you.

I love you, Steph.

Nothing has changed on that front.

Then stick with me on this.

I will.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

Hey, Steph.

Wanna watch some TV with your old man?

Danny and Melissa are coming over.

That's later.

Come and watch some TV with your old man!

It's good to get outta the bedroom for a while, no?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

What are you watching?

Nothing much.

Just waiting for this show to come on,

the one where they track down

America's most wanted criminals.

You ever seen it?

No.

It's pretty interesting.

I was gonna make a sandwich, you want one?

Yeah, sure.

All right, okay.

Yeah.

[dramatic music on TV]

Good evening, I'm John Wesley.

Those of you who are regular viewers

know that we highlight mostly recent cases.

But tonight, we're turning back the clock 18 years

to November the ninth, 1971,

when a seemingly mild-manner accountant

and churchgoer, John List...

[gasps] Dad!

What's wrong?

Look, they're talking about John List!

Remember I showed you that magazine?

[chuckles]

The guy you think is living across the street?

It's not funny, Dad.

Look.

We hope that someone out there tonight

may know where he is.

We consulted a number of profilers over those years

and they speculate that List

may have obsessive compulsive disorder

and other associative disorders.

Control is very important to this man.

Control can be ever so subtle,

often hidden behind the pretense of help or advice,

suggestion, or even a joke.

Maybe there's someone out there tonight

who may recognize this key characteristic.

Interesting.

I know you mentioned that List

went to great pains to cover his tracks,

he removed himself from all family photographs

and wasn't particularly a social person.

So it's very difficult for you to obtain a photograph

for identification purposes.

That's right, we had one very, very old photograph to go on,

but now, thanks to the work

of the esteemed forensic artist Dave Brenton,

we have a bust of List's head,

which we have age progressed,

and should be able to give the viewers a...

[gasping]

Holy shit!

I told you Dad, I told you!

Oh, oh shit!

Oh... shit.

We need to call the cops.

Whoa, let's not get hasty here.

What else are we gonna do?

[thudding and splattering]

Uh, maybe I could go over to him

and talk to him, make sure it's really him.

Dad, are you crazy?

He's a mass murderer!

Okay, okay.

Let me call the cops.

Yeah, let them deal with it.

Okay, okay.

Dad?

Dad, the power's out.

Dad?

[screaming]

Shut up!

- I just wanted to be left alone. - [whimpering]

You just couldn't leave me be, could ya?

You just had to keep snoopin' around, didn't ya?

- Sorry. - Shut up!

I didn't want it to come to this.

I have no choice.

It's time to give you up to the Almighty!

[door handle squeaking]

Stephanie.

[banging on door]

Stephanie!

[doorbell ringing]

[door closing]

[Melissa] Steph?

Jimmy, hello?

[Melissa] Maybe they went out.

Steph struggles to get around,

so why would she go out

if she knew that we were coming over?

[gasping]

[Melissa] Is he okay?

[tense music]

He's still breathing.

Um, go in there, call the cops.

I'm gonna make sure that Steph's all right.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Oh shit!

Go Mel, call the cops!

Go, go!

You okay, kid?

Yeah, are you?

Nothin' a few stitches

and a couple of painkillers won't take care of.

Steph!

Hey!

- Dad. - Hey!

Dad!

[sighing]

You know, I've waited 18 years for this moment.

For the chance to be face to face with you.

To ask you...

how you could do it?

The truth is, no answer you can give

will help me sleep better at night.

But what will help is knowing

you're gonna spend the rest of your days

in an eight by nine cell.

And for every single one of those days,

you'll be looking over your shoulder in fear

of vigilante justice at any moment.

You'll finally know what it's like

to feel the terror your family felt as you murdered them.

And, after all of that...

You'll still have hell to look forward to.
