Sgt. Grey:
At 0500 this morning,
guards at Central California
Women's Facility
prepared prisoner 081316
for transport.
Rosalind Dyer,
the most rare of unicorns --
a female serial k*ller.
For the last five years,
she's been on death row,
confined to an 11-by-8 cell.
Today, she's coming to us.
Now, before I get
to assignment details,
I want to defer to Assistant
District Attorney Del Monte
for background
on Ms. Dyer.
Sean?
Thank you, Sergeant.
Good morning, everyone.
Officers: Good morning.
My name is Sean Del Monte.
For those of you who are not
familiar with this case,
in 2015, Rosalind Dyer
was convicted
in the t*rture and mutilation
killings of seven individuals.
But there's evidence that
the body count is much higher.
In three of those seven murders,
the bodies were never recovered,
so now Dyer has agreed
to show us the location
of those three victims.
Excuse me, sir.
In exchange for what?
Well, her sentence
will be commuted
from death
to life without parole.
Why the hell are we
cutting her that break?
Well, it's not for her.
It's for the families
of those victims.
They've been waiting a long time
for closure.
Yeah, what about
the other families?
The ones that we promised
the death penalty?
What do we tell them?
'Cause they're calling me.
Just tell them it's above
your pay grade, Detective.
Lopez: Why does she
have to come here?
Can't she just tell you
where the bodies are?
She claims not to know
their precise locations.
Griffith Park
is over 4,000 acres.
Dyer says the only way she'll be
able to identify the dig sites
is by retracing
her original footsteps.
Harper:
Sounds like an excuse
to get out in the sun,
relive her kills.
Maybe, but she knows
if she doesn't lead us
to all three bodies
that the deal is off, so...
Okay,
let's get down to it.
First, the station needs to be
locked down for her arrival.
Processing is officially
closed for business.
All suspects
in our holding cells
will be shipped
to the Twin Towers.
This is so surreal.
An honest-to-God serial k*ller?
The psychology
is pretty fascinating --
well, biology, really.
Brain-scan research shows clear
differences in the amygdala
and the supramarginal gyrus
of a signature k*ller.
English?
They lack the ability
to feel empathy.
There's also data
that suggests
some psychopaths could have
a decreased sense of smell.
Making it easier for them
to deal with dead bodies?
Man, the universe has
a sick sense of humor.
Yeah, it's like a whole kind
of different species
than the normal riffraff
we handle.
The meat and potato
criminals.
What did we
arrest you for?
I stole
my neighbor's sex doll.
Said with no shame
at all.
A man has needs.
Lucy: Right.
And they're usually
transactional in nature.
You're horny, you steal
a sex toy from your neighbor,
and then you get caught
because no thought or planning
goes into the act.
Right.
Only, with Rosalind,
the act that fulfilled the need
was t*rture.
Man, woman,
black, white --
each one
scratched a different itch.
Damn.
That girl is messed up.
I was in college when they found
the first victims.
It was all
anyone talked about --
that and "How could a woman
be so barbaric?"
I worked
one of the scenes.
Fourth victim --
Lisa Cruz.
Homicide detectives warned me
not to look at the body.
Should've listened.
Oh, my God.
Lucy.
[ Chuckling ]
Uh...hey.
Caleb, from the bar
last night.
Yeah. Uh...
I hope this isn't weird,
but you left with your perp
before I had a chance
to ask your number.
We don't
call them "perps."
Right. Sorry.
Anyway,
this is my info.
If you ever feel like
waiting in vain for a drink,
give me a call.
[ Chuckles ]
You got a last name,
there, Caleb?
Uh, yes, sir.
Wright, with a "W."
What do you do?
If you say "screenwriter,"
you're going in a cell.
I manage a medical supply
company downtown.
I'm sorry about him. Things are
a little crazy right now.
No problem.
It was nice meeting you.
Officer.
[ Scoffs ]
What?
♪♪
Hey.
You okay?
That obvious?
You just seem
a little...tight.
I led the task force
that caught Rosalind.
For two years, we pulled
on every desperate thread,
praying we wouldn't
have to stand over
another mutilated body.
Can't imagine how devastating
that was for you.
Yeah.
So, you can see
why I'm not so happy
that Rosalind demanded I come
on this little field trip.
Any advice
on how to deal with her?
Don't try
to figure her out.
'Cause I'm not qualified?
Because therein
lies the madness.
Is there
any real rationale
why someone would take off
a person's hands?
Or pour boiling oil
down someone's throat?
We've all got this
morbid curiosity to ask why.
Don't.
You don't want to know
what's in her head.
And you sure as hell
don't want her in yours.
You have an ETA?
Yeah.
Now.
[ Buzzer ]
Sergeant Grey?
Yeah.
Sergeant Hernandez.
Her last meal
was at 0600.
Her last use of the bathroom
was 47 minutes ago,
so you're good for two more
hours, but you will --
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What is all this?
Eighth Amendment. Covers
cruel and unusual punishment.
If she's in your custody,
the rules still apply.
Inmate bill of rights,
including the update of SB-1146,
so you don't
get yourself sued.

what am I signing?
It's a sworn affidavit
that states that I,

I'm good because
my brain's not broken.
Now, are you gonna give us
something real,
or are we shipping you
back to prison?
Because I'm good
either way.
Are you?
[ Breathes deeply ]
Okay.
I'll take you
to the second grave.
Okay.
You think we're gonna find
another body in there?
I know you will.
I just need you to do
one thing for me first.
And what's that?
Ask Armstrong
if I was worth it.
Nolan:
You don't have to answer.
I could just tell her you said,
"No, it wasn't worth it at all."
Nah, she'll know
you're lying.
I doubt it. I don't even know
what I'm lying about.
[ Sighs ] Sh--
She's talking about
when I caught her.
Five years ago.
About the time
your wife d*ed.
Yeah, Rebecca was --
she was sick for over a year.
I should've taken a leave.
I was about to --
or, you know...
at least,
I tell myself I was.
And then
you caught the case?
Look, they'd already found
a few bodies.
A task force was put together
with the FBI.
They asked me
to run our side.
I...
should've said "no."
Come on, Nick. No way
you could've known the
toll it was gonna take.
But I did.
Deep down, I --
I did.
I-I-I knew
I'd barely leave the office.
I knew
that every time I tried,
another theory
would pop into my head
and I'd have to stay
and run it down.
Every time I had a few days off,
another body would pop up.
And how could I walk away
when all these grieving families
called me every day,
wanting answers?
Any detective
would have done the same.
No!
Nolan!
Don't let me off that easy!
Don't!
My wife was dying!
I wasn't there!
The day she d*ed, I --
I wasn't there,
so there's no excusing that.
So, what do you want me
to tell Rosalind?

Armstrong:
Looks like she was k*lled
more recently than the last one.
Yeah, three months ago,
maybe four.
Check for the tattoo
on her ribs.
Armstrong: Day of Death --
September 8th.
That's three months ago
to the day.
The first body we found
was k*lled
exactly three months
before that.
Del Monte: So,
if the pattern continues...
Someone's getting k*lled
today.
Nolan: Your friend already has
their victim, don't they?
Duh.
That clearly is a ritual
that must be followed.
Tell us who it is.
Why on Earth
would I do that, Nicholas?
These women are my victims

We've got less than 24 hours

meet the body at the morgue.
We need an ID
on both bodies.
If we can connect
the first two victims,
we might be able
to predict the third.
That's a Hail Mary.
You have a better idea?
I'm going to the prison,
turn it upside down.
That's where she planned
this whole thing.
It's our best sh*t
to get some evidence.
Alright. I'll have Bradford
and Chen meet you there.
You -- the morgue.
Hey, we need
to pull a fingerprint.
Well, let's see
what I have to work with.
Oh, that's doable.
She's in better shape
than the last one.
Huh.
What is it?
There's a slight discoloration
under what's left of her nails.
Saw it in the first victim's,
as well.
Took a swab.
And?
It's a microbe strain
indigenous to animals
in Africa and Asia.
So, does that mean both victims
flew internationally?
Unlikely.
For the microbe to remain
present on the victim's hand,
they would've had to come in
contact right before they d*ed.
When they were k*lled.
Is there somewhere in LA
they could've been exposed?
The zoo.
You think our guy was tattooing
and suffocating his victims
in one of the most heavily
trafficked attractions
in the city?
No, um, not that one.
The old zoo.
The one they shut down
in the '60s.
I found it when I was
first exploring LA.
It's abandoned,
it's isolated.
And it's close

Yes.
