[Tires screeching]

[Dramatic music]

I'm told we have a suspect

in the Liz garner murder Halloween night.

Donna Kale... Picked up this morning.

- You have your doubts? - Have you seen the photos?

'It takes a lot of muscles to strangle somebody like that.'

she's a meth head.

Strength of ten men when they're high.

Plus, she was caught trying to burn

the victim's blouse and pocketbook.

She gave her statement?

She said she found the items in a park

morning after the murder. Then she asked for a lawyer

then she clammed up.

Public defender's on his way.

- Motive? - Drug robbery.

Husband said the wife had 300 bucks in her pocketbook.

You find the money?

She was smoking the last of it when we arrested her.

Why take the victim's blouse? The rape kit came up clean.

Maybe she was making it look like a sex crime.

Neighbors called the cops about some kids

who were fooling on the garner property.

- Could've scared her off. - You think a woman did this?

It happens.

And especially with meth.

Look, this girl's got quite a record.

Started as a juvenile. She's got drug arrest up the wazoo.

Alright, if her lawyer's on the way

we'll take it from here, detective. Thanks.

Knock yourselves out.

Felony murder.

'Come on, annabeth. It's a misdemeanor arson charge.'

she deliberately destroyed evidence from a homicide.

She found the blouse and pocketbook, okay?

Then she freaked out and tried to get rid of them.

Three months' probation, drug rehab.

Suppose you didn't kill Mrs. Garner

just being there when it happened

makes you guilty of felony murder.

'That's 45 years in prison.'

her one year old was in the room when she was murdered.

How did that feel?

Until you tell us what you know about this

you're staying in jail.

You can't hold her indefinitely.

Evidence tampering material witness

accomplice and a felony murder. Watch me.

She participated in the crime

or she's protecting somebody who did.

You're get her talkin' about that

we can discuss a deal.

I'm giving you a chance.

Don't blow it.

Based on the size and depth of the marks

and bruises on her neck, the m.E. Says Mrs. Garner

was almost certainly strangled by a man.

A big man, judging by the size of his hands.

If Donna Kale was his accomplice it's still felony murder.

Police think it started as a drug related robbery.

But you're not buying it?

According to the m.E., the colorations

of the bruises indicate garner was strangled

allowed to revive..

Then strangled again.

- Sounds like torture. - Hm..

Here's another reason.

It's 20 miles from Donna Kale's house to Liz garner's.

How many junkies travel half a way across town

to Rob someone they've never met?

Show her mug shot to Liz garner's husband.

Donna Kale? That's who you arrested for killing my wife?

You know her?

Yeah, she grew up down the street. I've known her forever.

This is gene Kale's daughter.

She ever threaten you? Or your wife?

- Donna? No. - She is an addict.

I never thought she was dangerous. She's..

She's just sad. She's really, uh..

Screwed up, you know. She's..

You sure she's the one who did this?

At the very least we think she's involved.

Meth can make people mean.

Well, I've never seen that side of her.

I did see her, though, the day after Liz was..

The day after..

[Intense music]

It's okay. Take your time.

[Music continues]

I was, uh..

Coming back from the funeral home

and her dad was taking down his Halloween decorations

and she was out front talking to him.

I remember thinking..

You know, how ordinary it all was..

I'm about to Bury my wife and..

Life goes on. Just..

Donna have a boyfriend?

There was this guy she used to hang around with sometimes.

- You know, he made me nervous. - Druggie?

Yeah. It was written all over him.

- Mrs. Kale? - She died when Donna was born.

And gene raised her on his own.

Donna's not involved in this. I know my daughter.

With all due respect, sir, your daughter's a junkie..

A drug addict.

I assume you checked her record.

It's all possessions, small amounts.

She doesn't deal and she doesn't steal to support her habit.

She doesn't work either.

[Sighs]

I give her money... Sometimes.

Look, I know it's wrong..

But she comes by..

Says it's for clothes or to pay bills.

I know what it's for, but..

She's my kid.

She's got a problem.

She'd never hurt anybody.

What about her boyfriend?

They broke up last year.

I met him a few times. Tim something.

Veeter, Tim veeter.

Are you sure about the time, Tim?

It was Halloween night, man.

You didn't do a little trick-or-treating?

You think he's involved?

He's got an alibi for the time of the murder.

- Narcotics anonymous meeting. - Why'd you bring him down?

'Cause when we asked him about Donna, he stopped talking.

- Lawyered up? - Sponsored up.

Said he couldn't talk to us about it

unless we got his n.A. Sponsor down here.

Sponsored up? That's a new one.

[Knock on the door]

Could be him now.

I hope so.

Why, you got someplace else to be?

Mark shell.

Halloween night, Mark.

I was with Tim at St. Stan's

from about a quarter of 8:00 to 9:30, 9:45.

We'll need the names of everybody at that meetin'.

So... you're ready to talk about Donna Kale now?

I saw her last night... At an n.A. Meeting.

She seemed like she needed it. She was barely hanging on.

And you know why, so tell me.

[Intense music]

This was a vicious homicide.

Mother of two young kids.

Now is the time to share.

Donna told me this in confidence.

It's supposed to be sacred what's said

at those meetings to each other.

If it helps get Donna out of jail, Tim

I think it's alright.

She said..

"I think my father killed somebody last night

'on Halloween."'

- 'she say who?' - That woman in the news.

Liz garner?

[Dramatic music]

Donna Kale just flat out denies

she ever told the ex-boyfriend her father killed Liz garner.

Without corroboration, Mr. Veeter's statement is worthless.

We should search Kale's house anyway.

We know Donna was there the day after the murder.

If either one's involved we need to move fast.

The ex-boyfriend's statement is hearsay.

To use it to get a search warrant we need to corroborate.

It's not the basis for the warrant.

Maybe we put into the affidavit to persuade a friendly judge.

It's risky. The trial judge could invalidate the warrant

and we'd lose any evidence we found.

We'll lose that evidence anyway if Kale destroys it.

Keep the affidavit simple.

Basically, veeter's statement is corroborated

by Donna Kale's actions the day after she visited

'her father's house.'

burning the blouse and pocketbook.

What about Donna Kale? We either charge her or let her go.

If her father is the killer, we're gonna need her testimony.

And if she's his accomplice, she's still

on the hook for felony murder.

Charge her with evidence tampering for now.

And ask the judge to set a stiff bail.

We'll swear out the search warrant.

[Dramatic music]

Will I be able to attend my deacons' meeting this afternoon?

I wouldn't count on making that meeting, brother.

'It's important. I'm on the facilities committee.'

rectory needs a new roof.

Techs found a trace of blood

under the lid of the washing machine.

I build birdhouses. Nicked myself on a band saw.

You ought to be more careful, Mr. Kale.

With luminol we found more blood

smeared on the front of the washer.

- Somebody tried to wipe it up. - Like I said...

If it's yours, no problems.

But if it's Liz garner's, on the other hand..

[Dramatic music]

Where'd you get these?

Huh?

Where?

Ed!

Turn around. You're under arrest.

Mr. Kale, you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say may be used in a court of law.

- If you can't afford attorney... - I can afford an attorney.

Excellent. The system works.

[Dramatic music]

Tear this place apart.

[Music continues]

Recognize any of these women?

'Between '84 and '97, a serial killer here'

in Indianapolis, strangled and suffocated eight women.

He killed his eighth

and as far as we know last, nine years ago.

Liz garner was strangled and suffocated.

(Ed) 'Yes, she was.'

(annabeth) 'These are photocopies of the driver's licenses'

'of all the women he killed.'

just sitting on the bookshelf where anybody could find them.

Talk about brazen.

(Ed) 'Anne blackwood was the last known.'

1997. I caught the case.

I remember the blackwood murder, I was in law school.

The killer had a name for himself, right?

The professor, that's the name he used to sign the letters

he sent to the newspapers and the police.

He would send copies of the victim's driver's license

'and a piece of fabric from her clothing.'

if it's the same mo as garner strangled and suffocated..

Why didn't I see it right off? Wasn't exactly the same.

And the garner crime scene was nothing like the professor's.

He was probably interrupted before he could finish.

The professor's crime scene was always clean, right? No DNA.

Pristine. Never left any hair, skin, blood or fingerprints.

Nothing.

'Victim's body washed..'

and naked on a clean, white sheet.

Another sheet laid over like you'd see in a morgue.

Something I don't understand.

It's got all the earmarks

of a sex crime but he didn't touch them.

In his letters he claimed to be celibate.

Insisted the killings were about science, not sex.

- What do you mean, science? - The science of death.

His letters said he was doing research for a book.

You really think Kale is the professor?

I'm not saying these photocopies get you a conviction..

But they convince me.

Not me. Not that I wouldn't love convicting

a famous serial killer but..

We're not gonna do it with photocopies.

Agreed.

No, we need the actual drivers' licenses, the victims' clothing.

They're not in Kale's house.

The cops and crime techs tore it apart.

Alright, keep working on it.

In the meantime, the blood evidence

from Kale's basement came back as a match for Liz garner.

- The m.E. Confirmed it today. - 'That's enough.'

even if Kale is the professor

we push ahead with the garner murder.

At least there, we have something concrete.

Guaranteed Kale's defense attorney

will challenge the search.

The warrant was a little iffy.

Talk to the daughter again.

If she'll testify where she found

the blouse and the pocketbook and corroborate

what she told her ex-boyfriend, we can shore up our case.

Maybe if Donna Kale knows her father is a serial killer

she'll stop protecting him.

What we discuss today is confidential.

- I need your word. - You have mine.

I can't speak for her, of course.

She'll keep the secret.

How do you know that?

Because it's her secret too.

You told Tim your father killed Liz garner.

No. I didn't-i didn't tell him that.

We found her blood in his basement.

We found evidence in his home linking him to other women

other murders, Donna, eight of them.

[Dramatic music]

'Maggie Kelly.'

your father killed her in 1984. You were six.

He took her striped sweater as a memento.

He's a serial killer?

- Jeffrey, he's the professor. - Professor? You're kidding.

No, unh-unh. It's not possible.

It's not possible?

Of course it is.

'Rebecca bartlett, 29. Your father killed her in 1991.'

'he took her green print scarf to remember her by.'

'you were 12.'

these women have nothing to do with me or my father!

Anne blackwood, 26. He killed her in 1997.

You were 19. He took her purple baseball Jersey.

- Donna, please.. - Leave me alone!

[Sighs]

We're charging your father tomorrow

in the murder of Elizabeth garner.

You knew Mrs. Garner..

And her family. You were neighbors.

Donna, ask yourself.

What are you doing?

Why are you protecting him?

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

One count of murder, Mr. Kale. How do you plead?

- Not guilty, your honor. - Bail?

On the matter of bail, your honor

the evidence in this case is extremely weak

not merely circumstantial, it's inferential.

It's forensic, your honor.

The victim's blood was found in the defendant's home.

Save the back-and-forth for trial, counselors.

Defendant is remanded.

I'll see you this afternoon.

Some show.

Thought you guys had a big-time serial killer on your hands.

- Where'd you hear that? - Word gets around.

- Cops talk, lawyers talk. - We're investigating.

In the meantime, we have him dead to rights

on the murder of Liz garner.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Motion to suppress the blood evidence from the Kale house.

- Dream on. - Have a nice day.

Well, we knew this motion was coming.

I wish we could get Donna Kale to testify.

I'm not sure keeping her locked up is gonna work.

She's holding on to her secret like she's a drowning woman

and it's a life preserver.

Denial. Don't talk about it, pretend it didn't happen.

- Maybe it'll all go away. - No wonder she takes drugs.

She reacted to the pictures of the dead women like

she felt guilty for what her father had done to them.

Guilty? She was a child.

Oh, man. Look at her arrests.

Thirteen years old she gets busted for booze and pot.

I think she knew what he was doing even back then.

Keeping this secret has ruined her life.

Mr. Garner told ed and ray

Donna has always been a sad case, since she was a child.

Raised by a serial killer, how could she not be?

Kale knew the garners pretty well.

For years.

All of Kale's victims

lived in shady side township..

Within five miles of his house.

Maybe he knew his other victims, as well.

We should start with the most recent one first.

Anne blackwood.

I think of Anne every day. What I think is, she's dead.

The man who killed her is still out there walking around

breathing the air... Happy to be alive.

- So he's the professor? - 'We think so.'

he killed a woman a few days ago.

He looks kind of familiar. But I don't know, I'm not placing him.

Did you or Anne ever attend the first methodist church?

Sorry, presbyterian. Why?

- He's a Deacon. - A Deacon?

Who would suspect a Deacon.

Like I said, he looks kind of familiar, but..

(Ed) 'How about this one?'

- 'now, who's that?' - Same guy.

That's what he looks like now.

That's why he looks familiar. The uniform.

'I remember him. He used to patrol around here.'

he cited us once

letting the dogs run off the leash.

Now we know how to connect Kale to the victims, his job.

Kale's job's giving people tickets, right?

Grass is long, Kale writes you a ticket.

Garbage can missing lid, Kale writes a ticket.

Riding a bike on the sidewalk...

Kale writes you a ticket.

We ran a computer search of Kale's citations.

He ticketed Liz garner for a trash can violation

one week before he killed her and four other times

in the three months prior to her death.

You found a similar pattern with the other victims?

Computer records only go back to '89.

But from '89 forward the answer's yes.

Kale ticketed every one of his victims

'multiple times in the months before they were murdered.'

that can't be a coincidence.

A defense attorney would argue it's exactly that

just Kale doing his job.

That's why we gotta through Kale's records

from before '89, see what else there is.

Get a subpoena.

Will do.

(Maureen) 'Here's another one.'

this one about Liz garner

written in the margin of a citation.

"Lizzie g, home alone, 10:36 until 3:49."

"Bonnie arrives. Mr. G, 6:42".

Just like the photocopies of the licenses

hidden in plain sight.

If you consider burying it in a hundred thousand pages

of parking tickets and lawn care citations plain sight.

'But you see what I mean.'

'Kale wants this stuff to look like work-related notes'

written in the margin of a citation

but you put it all together..

He had 'em under surveillance.

- He was stalking 'em. - Planning their deaths.

[Dramatic music]

Annabeth, sorry to wake you.

[Instrumental music]

You charged Mr. Kale for the garner murder.

What's this about?

Your client..

Is the professor, Mr. Bosco.

Mrs. Garner was his ninth victim.

'If you could prove that'

I doubt you'd be sitting here trying to make a deal.

Her accusations are ridiculous.

For Mr. Kale's confession to the eight previous murders

as well as Liz garner's we'll agree

not to seek the death penalty.

I can't advise my client to take a deal'

without knowing about your case.

His work records connect him to all the victims

including Liz garner.

They show how he surveilled them, timed their attacks

his points of entry and escape from their homes.

That interpretation of my work records

shows a lively imagination, miss chase.

' "June 12, 2006"'

"8:47 A.M., Liz's husband departs."

"9:17, Liz goes to grocery store."

"10:51, Liz home. Ice cream."

"6:24 P.M., husband Jim home from hard day at office."

Is that related in any way to your work?

'Yes, it is.'

residents cited for violations often make excuses.

My detailed notes ensure that when such excuses

are less than truthful, they do not convince

our town's credulous magistrates.

If that's the best explanation you have, Mr. Kale

you're gonna be executed for these murders.

I should discuss this with my client.

'No need.'

I'm innocent. I'll take my chances at trial.

Then we'll proceed with the charges.

I don't care what you told Kale or his lawyer.

I'm not ready to indict him on the serial killings.

These records prove Kale tracked every one

of the professor's victims.

But not that he murdered them!

If this were any other case

I would go ahead and indict but we cannot afford

to be wrong about Kale.

Or worse, right and not get a conviction.

Are you running away from this case?

Ed.

Do you believe Kale killed these women or not?

Let's grab some coffee, alright, man?

That's a good idea. I suggest you do that.

They matter, conlon!

Their families have been waiting for years!

Believe me, ed... I want to indict him.

(Conlon) 'So why don't you find me the victims' clothing?'

find me their driver's licenses.

Find me the typewriter he used

to type the letters that he sent to the papers and the police.

I'll indict Kale on the professor killings

when you find me something other than your opinion

about how to proceed with a murder trial.

I've done 43 of them. How about you?

You want to keep your perfect record, is that it?

- Your winning streak? - 'Come on, big fellow.'

before you say something you really regret.

[Intense music]

Continue prepping for the garner trial.

We have the hearing on bosco's motion

to suppress in the morning.

I'm not anticipating any trouble, are you?

[Music continues]

If we lose the blood evidence, we are in trouble.

Then we'd absolutely need Donna to testify against her father.

- And if she still won't? - He'll probably walk.

The blood evidence from Mr. Kale's house

should be suppressed, your honor.

Indiana code 35-33-5-2 requires a search warrant affidavit

based on hearsay to be corroborated.

The warrant was based on many facts.

It wouldn't have been issued

without Timothy veeter's statement, sir.

Did investigator Williams corroborate

Mr. Veeter's statement, miss chase?

The totality of the circumstances

corroborated the statement, your honor.

You didn't quite answer my question, miss chase.

Without providing any factual basis

a drug addict reports to the authorities

his addict ex-girlfriend's suspicion that her father

killed Liz garner. How does that corroborate anything?

Miss Kale visited her father

shortly before burning evidence taken from the murder scene.

Critical claim of the affidavit was that Mr. Kale

murdered Liz garner.

Under the Mason precedent, the statement needs more

than Donna Kale's whereabouts hours before burning evidence

from the murder scene to corroborate that claim.

The magistrate who issued the warrant could have asked...

It's not that magistrate's court, miss chase, it's mine.

The affidavit falls short, the blood evidence is suppressed.

Why are you letting me out?

I thought you'll finally be willing to talk to me if I did.

I don't care what you do.

I'm not talking to you about my father.

Donna, I saw the way you looked at those pictures.

You knew about those women.

That's why you started taking drugs when you were a kid.

You knew what he was doing.

That must have been such a terrible burden for you.

I can't imagine what you've gone through.

I'm sorry.

[Instrumental music]

[Instrumental music]

I want Kale indicted for the serial killings today.

- What? - You heard me.

We're charging Kale with the professor killings.

Why the change of heart?

Because ed here forced my hand.

He leaked the story to the press.

'Now if I don't charge Kale, I look weak.'

if I don't convict him, I look incompetent.

"Will the professor walk?

"Indy's most notorious killer's slipping through

prosecutor's fingers."

Wasn't me.

"Asked why Kale had not been indicted

'"on the professor's eight claimed murders.'

"an anonymous source close to the case said

"that chief deputy prosecutor, conlon was too cautious

"to put forward a case of which he was not

100 percent certain he could win."

I don't care what you think, I didn't rat you out.

Then who did? If not you, then who?

I'm not an anonymous source.

That's my story, I'd put my name on it.

If this comes back to you, you're done.

(Annabeth) Wait, wait.

What if Kale leaked the story to the papers?

Why would Kale wanna be charged with those eight murders?

Attention.

Appreciation for his criminal genius.

He's facing the death penalty.

And his lawyer just kicked our butts

on the garner blood evidence.

Maybe he thinks he can get away with the professor killings too.

That's his fantasy.

To be indicted as the professor but acquitted of the crimes.

Thumb his nose at the world.

Well, that's quite a gamble on his part.

He doesn't see it that way.

He's so smart. It isn't a gamble at all.

For him it's the ultimate victory.

The culmination of his life's work.

I want the indictments filed today.

And I want a press conference scheduled for this afternoon.

If there's gonna be a show..

It'll be my show, not Kale's.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Intense music]

[Crowd whispering]

People versus Eugene Kale. Eight counts of murder.

Do you understand the charges against you, Mr. Kale?

- I do. - 'How do you plead?'

not guilty, your honor.

Since the accused is already in custody, I assume bail is moot?

- I would hope so, your honor. - 'Mr. Conlon.'

Mr. Kale savagely murdered nine women in their homes.

'I'm sure you'll agree he poses a serious threat'

'to the people of Indianapolis.'

'were he to be out on bail and commit another such crime'

it would truly be a tragedy, sir.

I do agree, Mr. Conlon. Mr. Kale is remanded.

[Gavel striking]

[Crowd whispering]

Heard it was quite a show.

Kale loved it. Ate up the attention with a spoon.

I'm sure he's never been happier.

I was thinking about his victims.

Do you think Kale would have eventually claimed Liz garner

as one of the professor's subjects?

He got interrupted, the professor never claimed

any crime that wasn't perfectly staged.

Where you going with this?

Maybe there were others he didn't claim.

That he botched for one reason or another.

Want us to look through his work records.

Find other women he might've stalked.

Yeah. Cross reference.

Female assault and murder victims

in shady side township for the past 25 years.

If we find a victim who also received tickets from Kale

she's probably one of his.

She's also probably dead.

Assault victims too, not just murders. Who knows?

If one of 'em managed to get away

maybe we even find a witness.

(Ed) 'Excuse me, ma'am.'

can I help you?

Ed Williams, Indianapolis prosecutor's office.

- Are you charlene Darcy? - Yes.

Were you the victim of an assault in December 1994?

Yes, I was.

Could I ask you to look at a picture?

We've come up with a possible suspect.

Sure.

Oh, yes.

He had a gun.

He took me to the basement and tied me up.

Then he..

Choked me until I passed out.

When I woke up, he asked questions.

What did he wanna know?

What it felt like to die?

The last image that came into my mind before I blacked out.

How many times did he choke you?

Three or four.

The last time he must have thought I was dead because..

He untied me.

I came..

I came to, and..

I was on, on the floor on my back.

'He was standing over me..'

with his pants around his ankles.

And..

He was..

You know..

Yeah, I-I get it.

Uh, how did you escape?

Well, my husband wasn't feeling well

came home from work early that day

which saved my life.

The guy heard Bob in the driveway, ran away.

He masturbated over his victims.

It might be why he cleans his crime scenes so obsessively.

Brags about the killing but embarrassed by the sex?

The professor.

Never thought we'd discover his dirty little secret.

He's gonna be really embarrassed when it comes out at trial.

So embarrassed he might even wanna cut a deal.

You remember her? Hm?

She remembers you.

Only it's not in a very professorial light.

- And what does that mean? - He attacked this girl in 1994.

Thought she was dead but she wasn't, when she woke up

the self-proclaimed professor here was..

Well, he knows what he was doing.

You never wrote to the newspapers about her, did you?

But thanks to his work records, we found her.

You ladies see things in these work records..

That just aren't there.

I guess we'll find out when miss Darcy testifies.

Tells the world what she saw you doing

when she regained consciousness.

(Jeffrey) 'Once again our meeting has barely begun'

and you've seemed to turn it into a kangaroo court, eh?

I think we're done here.

Guard.

Wait.

If this woman saw you, it was 12 years ago.

We dunno what they can prove about her.

Or how it relates to the murders for which you've been indicted.

He knows exactly what he did to charlene Darcy

and the eight others.

What he would have done to Liz garner if he wasn't interrupted.

It's why he washed them down and

tucked them in when he was finished.

He was ashamed. Not of the killing.

Of the sex.

I will tell you what you want to know.

You'll confess?

To the nine murders only, nothing else.

I won't confess to what you say I did to that woman

and you will not charge me with what she says she remembers.

(Jeffrey) 'This is a proffer, miss chase.'

if we don't reach a deal, what he says cannot be used at trial.

Agreed.

Go on, Mr. Kale.

I wanna speak at my plea allocution..

For as long as I need.

Guilty, your honor, nine times. That's all you have to say.

No.

They were very dear to me.

All of them.

Anne..

Maggie..

Rebecca..

Sarah..

Virginia..

Lisa..

Joan..

And Betty.

I held them so close for many years.

I wanna share with the world what I learned from them.

My research..

My book..

Which is not yet written.

I have so much to thank them for.

We let him thank his victims in court?

Revel in all the gory details of their deaths?

We take nine murder convictions for the victory they are.

Kale dies in prison.

He wants to demean his victims all over again

and torture their families.

I'm sorry for that but with his confession

we avoid going to trial. Never know what a jury's gonna do.

He's embarrassed about what charlene Darcy knows about him.

I guarantee you he would give up his allocution

rather than face her.

You can't risk nine convictions to find out if you're right.

We'll get his confession without letting him make a speech.

Gimme one more chance with Donna before we finalize the plea.

What's it that you think she knows?

A lot. She may not realize how much.

She lived with him the years he committed these crimes.

If we get her talking, who knows what she leads us to.

We may finally find Kale's trophies.

I want Kale's signed plea agreement on my desk

by 5 o'clock tomorrow.

Now, if you can find a way to get that

without granting him his little speech, great.

If not, you give him what he wants.

You're relentless, you know that?

Your father confessed.

You can't pretend anymore that it didn't happen.

He's gonna tell a judge exactly what he did to those women.

What do you want from me?

Donna..

Your father wants the attention.

He wants to enjoy killing those women all over again

at the expense of their families.

You of all people should know how painful that would be.

- He's a freak. - But you're not.

And feeling responsible for what he did is ruining your life.

I don't get it.

Why are you here?

Why do you care about me?

Because of what he did to you.

He's destroyed your life too.

I always thought my dad was lonely.

When I was about..

Twelve, my best friend and I found

a lady's scarf and driver's license in my dad's closet.

The one you showed me.

With the blonde hair and the pretty smile.

I had seen my dad talking to her a couple times

in the grocery store.

And um..

I told my friend..

That they were secretly in love.

And that soon..

I would have a new mom.

Couple weeks later

an article in the newspaper said that..

The woman was dead.

And that..

That her, her killer had sent a copy

of her driver's license to the police.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what..

What to tell you. I don't know how to help you.

We can't find the things he took from his victims.

Maybe he got rid of 'em.

(Annabeth) 'Well, we think he's still got them.'

serial killers tend to hang on to their trophies.

- Did you search the house? - Top to bottom.

Is there someplace else he may have hidden them, Donna?

Maybe, um... A friend's house or a relative's?

He hates his relatives.

No friends.

Spent all his time at home working on his weird hobbies.

The, um..

- Needlepoint? Birdhouses? - Yeah.

He's obsessed with those things.

His knick-knacks.

Donna said her father was obsessed with his hobbies.

Remember the notations in the work records?

The photocopies in the scrapbooks?

I think Kale's trophies are somewhere right here.

In plain sight.

Plain sight, huh?

Where would that be?

[Dramatic music]

Guys, look at this. Look at this.

Kale's hobby.

He turned his victims' clothing into a memory quilt.

[Intense music]

It's a pocket.

I said I would speak for an unlimited amount of time

at the allocution. It's not in here.

That's because it's not gonna happen.

Then I rescind my offer.

We're being generous, Mr. Kale, considering the alternative.

The alternative is I don't confess.

The alternative is we humiliate you for months

in court and in the press.

Leak compromising photos to the tabloids and then a jury..

Gives you the death penalty.

I'm afraid you've lost me.

We found your quilt.

Your trophy photos..

Your dirty little pictures..

You don't even measure up to the twisted killer

you pretended to be.

The professor.

You're just a pervert.

Pathetic, little pervert.

I should be allowed to address the court.

No allocution, no press, no gallery.

Just an empty courtroom.

What do you mean?

The families won't be there?

We're protecting the families from you, Mr. Kale.

They'll have their own press conference after you're gone.

(Jeffrey) 'It's a public proceeding.'

- you can't close it. - Sue us.

By the time you obtain a temporary injunction..

He'll be on the bus to the penitentiary.

(Judge Jenkins) 'You're charged with murder'

'a class a felony, in count 7?'

- yes, your honor. - 'How'd you plead to count 7?'

guilty, your honor.

In count eight, on or about the 23rd day of April, 1997

in the county of Marion, state of Indiana

'it is claimed you did unlawfully kill a human being'

'Anne blackwood'

'knowingly, maliciously, willfully, deliberately.'

'you understand you're charged with murder'

'a class a felony, in count eight?'

- yes, your honor. - 'How'd you plead to count 8?

Guilty, your honor.

In count 9, on the 31st day of October, 2006

in the county of Marion, state of Indiana

it is claimed you did unlawfully kill a human being

Elizabeth garner

'knowingly, maliciously, willfully, deliberately.'

do you understand you're charged with murder

a class a felony, in count 9?

- 'Yes, your honor.' - 'How'd you plead to count 9?'

guilty, your honor.

Nice job, counselor.

You too.

[Sighs] I guess just go ahead and feed her.

I'll be home by seven to put her to bed.

I've one more meeting.

Okay, thanks.

- Hi, Donna. - Miss chase.

This is my friend, Tim.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi, Tim.

I needed some moral support.

I understand.

Come on.

I wanted to, um

thank you for, you know..

Reaching out to me.

Of course.

The press conference for the families went really well.

I think everybody's relieved.

I hope they know how sorry I am.

Donna, nobody blames you, okay?

You need to know that.

And you need to believe it too.

Here we are.

Hi, Donna.

Mr. Garner.

Thanks for coming.

I'm, uh..

Glad to see you.

You are?
