Jimmy you bring the donuts no dammit no I'm sorry after that okay we have three

killings we have three organized crime scenes and as the preliminary criminal

and victimology Pope since most serial K*llers attack inside their own racial

and ethnic groups I'm starting with a white Protestant male with an age of 25 it's the median age of sexual

Psychopaths according to ViCAP the k*ller has organized crime scenes probably indicating a slightly older

twenty six or seven victimology is similar all women living alone now three so far I've been m*rder*d that we know

of all have dorsal penetrations in the cervical area all have one deep incised wound in the bottom of the right foot

made by an unknown instrument the cut appears to be part of a ritual of fetish of some kind yeah that's all we have so

far except for this white bone diamond sign he leaves on the window in blood according to our psychopathic Word profile dictionary connotes anger

frustration and punishment Jimmy get on the phone will you call a lumber supply

scientist there's a man who could make a crime scene talk and the other guy Jimmy

bellow he forgets the doughnuts

hospital clothes absolutely never come on a fresh crime scene without hospital g*n slippers

what are you kidding me man a case last year he found a hair one red hair

spectral analysis told us that the hosts body hadn't eaten for a couple of days and we discovered it the follicle had

been washed with a chemical compound we later identified as a rare French shampoo good lead right all right

so we traced the stores that sold the shampoo without 30 feds on the street with a criminal profile all looking for

a k*ller so did you get you bet we did who was it my wife hair came from my

coat she'd been dieting and using a French shampoo that her sister and center for Christmas that's why we're careful

meet names listed alphabetically no personal names or number listed on this page only for vendors and those

supplying services listed under L I know why hi you got the original call on this

yeah yeah they do something wrong I just like to get impressions like in sorta

your first take on the thing when you walked in I couldn't see much through the window so I opened the front door and walked in door was unlocked right

yeah I caught it right when once about ten years ago but I did was there the

place out yeah me too I opened a window inside I had to otherwise I would have walked my cookies right in the doorway

oh thanks son I really appreciate your sticking around no problem excuse me sir I think she was the victim of

opportunity I think the unsub spotted her on her home broke in and did the deed wasn't no victim of opportunity she

was a victim of choice she knew this guy the muddy climb in the window he didn't

see the cop over there with the joke college shoulders he opened the window to arouse the stench

somebody says hey Tony but your mind running down by forensics picking up my report you got a freaking reason why you

can't are you great on a crime scene there's nobody better at feeling the thoughts of these K*llers than you were

but once you've finished your rain bands good enough so you sent me to the Kennedy Center and you pull that BS Hey

music the write down serious here you weren't exactly a cherry pick when I took you as I remember you were about to

have a promising career guarding the bureau parking lot what do you want Wes you want my wish you I want you to get

on the damn team everybody else including Jimmy Bello plays team ball Jimmy fellow come on with Jimmy fella he

went out on his own they learned hypnosis you you don't even show up for meetings and I'm through it at Tony are

you one in you're in but you better grab your helmet and get in the huddle I love

you when you're tough and [ __ ] you know that Wesley we got two ways we do things around here Tony my way in my way

I'm your boss and you better get hip to it no more chances I get your pointy

little head out of my sight go get some dinner we're gonna go out there in an hour

no shoes no shoes yeah no damn shoes on

why why'd you take her shoes off huh that's

what the shoes you like shoes or feet

woman's feet do they taunt you mock you

are they sexy

the white bone diamond is that you is it

her does she scare you

or your demon demons scare us chase us or she the

demon who is she to you

she's here at home her color-coordinated

blue floral and gray room

very neat coordinated it's Friday night

it's Friday night why does he do this on Friday Friday uh a special day a day it

all started Good Friday Friday the 13th lucky Friday unlucky Friday Friday has a reason why stress this Friday is stress

day they all live alone

no friends stay home on Friday like you

why why does he k*ll on Friday they stay

home on weekend you know that that's why

it's Friday you come back here don't you

that's why it's firing you relive it

don't you you come back and relish it

don't you no no it huh I don't have it no they're

so plain I can't it's not that at all

like I can't relish it not now not after they're dead it's so long so sad

[Music]

you don't come back here to relive it

[Music] I can explain

[Applause]

tell me I'll let you know what I'm not

sure talk to me Tony

I think he comes back and resistant that's why it's Friday excusing the

weekend I don't know it's just it's just a feeling oh we can put that under post offense

babe you're awesome anything else I agree with that

I don't think it was sex okay look

I don't think he's calling himself a demon he sees himself as persecuted

maybe she's the demon he labels her with the sign on the window that's good

everything in that house is color-coordinated that means she was probably wearing shoes that matched a

dress I looked in a closet unless she has two pair of light blue shoes I think

he put her shoes back in the closet no semen anywhere is my bed who's he k*lling

his mother maybe he comes back

he apologizes he tells him why he had to do it look I gotta get out of here I'm

getting a headache

Tony I see in the morning

yes

the furniture in there is wrong she was neat everything coordinated except the

gray striped sofa against the blue pattern wall she wouldn't put it there

it goes against the gray wall

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]

my diagram I talk to Allen he got some hair fibers out of the air filtering system he's going through them we got a

control sample from her head so far there's one blonde hair that doesn't belong now I'm starting to work on it

nothing under her fingernails but the coroner won't be through till tomorrow how's the corner you see the

village idiot or does he know his stuff he seems okay but I'm gonna stick with him through the autopsy but got the

report back on stomach contents it's all Friday's lunch I know the cafeteria where she works the wound in the back is from a slightly curved three-inch blade

like a knife you okay yeah yeah I'm fine

why sometimes I look at you and I wonder how you hold it together I can't keep my

life in the right column I haven't been sleeping well my dreams are getting

spooky I don't know maybe I should just

get loose from all this for a while

you know we're all riding around in a car with the windows rolled up in this

business we catch each other's illnesses and the worst illness is transference

we're not like these K*llers and they are aberrations somehow I feel like I'm

paying for all this with pieces of myself and the more I do the less I

become and the more I have to gamble does it make any sense

you ever wonder why I keep Jimmy

this too goes no further Jimmy is so uncomplicated so decent so ready to help

so eager to please I want him around to keep the rest of us from going sour because senex make

mistakes these unsub's are monsters but underneath they are pathetic tragic

Souls frightened terrified about what they've become promising themselves that this time will

be the last time only to realize that it's an urge they can't control I'm just

as scared as you are we are getting scarred badly Wallace

if you ever want to pull the pin I'll understand because there will come a

time for all of us when the price is higher than the prize

thank Swiss read this glance okay

pulling everything we have to date from everybody I got this guy as follows maybe thirty or thirty to about your

head younger yeah but after seeing the scene I changed directions it's organized bad of wax somehow if you

moved the furniture then it's more calculated for dealing with surrogate killings of his mother than it makes him older still I'm using an inverse ratio

of age to victim these poor girls are mothers surrogates he could be as old as thirty-five what else blonde hair

probably medium-size not social keeps to himself unmarried maybe lives with his mother an

older female member of his family oh that's above average IQ they might drive a bright-colored sports car goes

with repressed types likely has no female friends they scare him he may be frightened of big breasted women he

attacks her him with small breasts because he feels safer it's kind of sketchy but it's a start

[Music]

he's out there that murderous b*stard I could smell him

before the next Friday night [Music]

Lynne calls me an hour ago she's crying she says that scrawny marmalade cat or

hose is missing she says it didn't come home last night just like that she says

crying all the time Joe didn't do nothing that cat that was before the

hospital I got my business now and all the repair work and a lot of time for you sitting fine nobody's cat what you

looking at

I left your food in the bedroom

Arlene made it special at all Lena's a [ __ ] oh wait

[Music]

[Music]

away go away go away look I was I wasn't

doing anything she made me she made me look I wasn't doing anything I fear that

my own demon [Music]

I promise

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

no Larry the crisper

sorry I'm late I had a staff meeting after school oh yeah

why I couldn't have the brown shoes ready maybe Saturday its we have it's

been Saturday's fine I could bring him by I'm saturated me no I really missed your cursor I can't live with him

[Music]

[Music] why does he take off his shoes before he

kills them why the wound in the bottom of the right foot why does he cut the feet and those are

the questions then we gotta come up with some answers you got home Carrie West yeah sure

this thing's on K let's it was on L thought it was let's sit on K it opened

done now why maybe the K page is missing the needle points of the next page which is

an L so his name was in her dial under K and he took it out Allen all the names

in this dial for businesses no personal friends right that's right I mean what she did was to look up the number in the

phone book first before putting in the dial why don't you send her phone books back to Norma or check under Kay's for

some prints it's a good idea we usually keep their finger on the number while they're dialing all right let's go let's

find out how much furniture this guy moved around then I want to put back the way it was and we'll see what we've got

huh this on the plane Norma she can scan

it have what you want an hour skipper can I talk outside for a minute yeah

what is this look skipper I know that the cops have interrogated other people over there across the street you know

they they they saw not the right this is a great place where hypnosis could come

in real handy how's that well okay let's say one of the mold users okay looks out the window he sees maybe a parked car or

a guy walking a dog or something because it register right so I come in and I put him under with this new skill that I got

and I can extract from said geezer certain pertinent information which is not currently in our investigative

domain so to speak I don't know Jenny but if something goes wrong goes wrong but no one who wears

what the hell can go wrong you saw the certificate I got
