The last of the bodies were removed by the coroner's boys about an hour ago.

What a mess.

We get a call.

Neighbors hear a woman scream.

We arrive as the suspect comes out spraying a 12 -gauge.

No choice.

We walk in and find this.

Must be parts to a dozen bodies.

He's been very busy.

This is not possible.

I don't believe what I'm seeing.

You didn't work the Richard Kemper case, did you? No.

Look at the place, this room.

It's exactly the same as the one where Kemper lived.

I'm not surprised.

They're both serial killers. Wackos hatched from the same nut.

No, I didn't say similar. I said exactly the same. Identical. I think it's the

same guy.

It's not. Kempner died four months ago.

Candles.

Beaded curtains.

Incense.

The weapon display.

Right down to that ram's head.

Kemper had everyone.

Those guys are copycats.

What's new?

No.

It's more. These are things which were never reported before.

Never made public.

So what are you saying, Doc?

I don't know.

I don't know what I'm saying.

Thought this might calm you down.

Caffeine. A decaf?

No. Oh.

Look, I understand how you can be so calm about this. We've lost a fish here.

The fish was dead before we lost him.

Which brings me to another subject.

Why did he die?

Probably loneliness.

Which is why, in case you haven't noticed, there are no other fish in the

Whenever any fish, anywhere in the world, wants to die, he comes here for

last swim.

It's not funny. But very true.

Probably another fish now.

You make the beginning?

Yeah. They told me at Baywatch I might be able to find Donna Marco here.

She's probably at home. I already tried that. There was no answer.

Sorry, I'm Dr. Arthur Block.

Come in.

Thanks. Ryan McBride.

You're a medical examiner? Yes.

Why do you need to see Donna?

Look,

if you reach her, just... I'd like to see her. Why?

I think I'd better talk to her about that. Just have her call me.

Try her again.

Thanks.

What's the problem?

No, no, no problem. I have the medical examiner here from Bakersfield, and he

said he'd like to come over and ask you a couple of questions.

About what?

I'm not really sure. Is it okay if I send him over?

Donna?

You okay?

Fine.

Donna?

Donna?

Donna?

You heard something in her voice, didn't you?

Yeah, maybe.

A little.

Doctor, if there's something wrong with Donna, I mean, we'd like to know what it

is.

We're all friends here. Don't be shy. I'm sorry, but as much as I would like

discuss it, I just can't.

So it is serious?

If I'm correct, it could be very serious. I need to see her. We'll go

Thanks.

in the driveway, she wouldn't have gone anywhere.

I think we have a major problem.

What?

The candles.

The incense.

The sculpture.

It's Richard Kempler all over again.

The nights will never be the same.

Donna?

Donna?

Donna, it's Mitch!

Well, she wouldn't have left knowing that we were coming. She didn't know we

were coming. Just a doctor.

I'm trying to think of a way to say this, that it doesn't sound insane.

A few weeks ago, an 18 -wheeler plowed into a prison bus, started a chain

reaction pileup.

Eight cars were involved, including your friend Donna's.

And the bus was carrying Richard Kemper.

Richard Kemper, the serial killer? Yes. Yeah, it was a very famous case. He was

convicted of two murders.

Confessed at 17, he's suspected in over 50.

Kempner died at the scene, but his blood was all over the place.

Donna was helping the injured. She was cut herself, and I think she might have

been infected there.

What do you mean she was infected?

Let's get the hand looked at. Come on, let's get out of here.

Yeah, Sergeant Carlos, please.

Mitch Buchanan, LA County Lifeguard.

Hey, Harry, it's Mitch. Listen, I need a favor. I need an APB on Donna Marco.

Yeah, M -A -R -C -O.

Thanks. So, what exactly are you telling us here?

Yesterday in Bakersfield, a serial killer was shot to death by the police.

man's name was Buckland.

Very normal type of guy. Didn't fit the profile.

What profile?

Buckland's M .O. was exactly the same as Kempler's.

That's not unusual.

No, no, exactly the same as Kempler's. And Buckland was involved in the

accident, too, and also was injured.

Okay, so you're saying that...

Buckland became Kempler because of some car accident. No, wait a minute. You're

saying that somehow Kempler's blood infected Buckland and may have infected

Donna? I know. It's insane.

That's why I'm here alone.

Look, I have to be honest with you.

My wife was one of Kempler's victims.

I'm sorry.

So...

When I saw Stephen Buckland's lair yesterday, and I saw that it was

Kempler's, and then to Donna's today, and that the only connection is that

traffic accident,

it's as though Kempler's still alive.

Look,

if we don't find your friend, Donna, more people are going to die.

All right, this Richard Kempler, the serial killer, when he was alive, what

he do?

Young, attractive women.

He would pick them up in places where they would feel safe.

Malls, grocery stores.

He would help them carry their packages, buy them coffee, compliment them while

walking in the park.

So he had to be charming. He had to strike some nerve to trap these women.

And now Donna is the female version of Kimpler?

Well, I got news for you, gentlemen.

Donna can have almost any man she wants.

She's not gonna have any problems picking up guys.

Hey, don't go crazy on me. Don't say that to me.

Look, I don't know what you're into.

But this is... This is crazy.

We have to take our time.

We have to really enjoy this.

You can't.

Hey, watch. I've got Donna. I'm patching her through.

Put your hand on my knee.

It's Donna. Put on speaker.

Put your hand on my knee.

Oh, so pretty up here.

It's so pretty.

Mitch?

Mitch, are you there?

Yeah, Donna. Hey, uh... How are you? How are you feeling?

Mitch!

I have somebody with me.

I think I'm gonna kill him.

Uh, Donna, uh...

You don't have to do that. Now, you know you don't. Mitch, that's the strangest

part.

I... He touched me and... Lady, I didn't. I didn't touch her. I swear I

touch you.

Quiet!

You know how much I like it.

Don't move your hand!

Don't take your hand away. Okay, okay.

have to kill him. Donna, it's Mitch talking to you here. You don't have to

him. Don't do it. I have to kill him.

Donna? Get out of the car.

Goodbye, Mitch.

Donna, answer me.

Donna!

Damn it.

She's caught between her own personality and Kempler's. She's going through a

tremendous struggle.

but eventually the Kempler personality would prevail and take over completely.

I heard a small plane in the background.

We used to have a rescue training ground near the Santa Monica airport right in

the landing pattern.

It's a long shot.

It's like a dream.

A fantasy.

Lady, please.

Ah!

No.

It's me again.

I'm getting away.

I think it's me.

You do want...

Lady, I'll help you.

Lady's freaked out over Gord, man. She's got a knife. She tried to kill me.

Where'd she go?

She's locked it. Completely psycho.

All right, you get him in the car, and you lock the door.

Hey, you're not listening to me. She tried to kill me. Look, we need to get

police.

Mitch, be careful!

Donna!

Donna!

Easy. I got you.

It's okay. I got you. I'm so sorry.

I got you.

You're sure about this?

Okay, go ahead.

How's Anna?

She's stable.

They're currently removing any traces of Kimpler's blood from her body.

Winkler's here.

She's pretty heavily sedated, huh, for a couple days.

Okay.

Well, there's another one we've got to worry about.

From the same accident? Yeah.

With the same blood?

Yes.

The guy's name's Ray Regan. I have his L .A. address.

I'm going to go see him now.

Notify the police.

Look, I'll notify anyone, but it's the same old story to them. It's gibberish.

Well, there's still the best people to handle this. Well, I'm going.

You can't.

I'm going with them.

Okay, I'll stay. I'll stay.

Yeah, give me a P &P on a California plate,

3KVI635.

That's registered to a Mitchell Buchanan. I've got a lot of numbers.

Home Baywatch API agency.

Fetch me through to the PI agency.

Mrs. Regan, Ellen Regan? How can I help you?

I'm Dr.

Arthur Block.

You're married. Your husband is... Ray Regan?

Has something happened to him?

Has there been an accident?

Not exactly.

We're just looking for your husband.

But the records only show his name and home address.

Hello?

Yes, I'm looking for Mitchell Buchanan. Is he there?

Um, no, actually, I'm sorry. At the moment, he's out, but I'm his partner.

help?

Well, I think you can.

Is there somewhere we could reach your husband now? Yeah, of course. That's a

police station.

Police station?

Oh, I assumed you knew. He's a member of the SWAT team.

Yeah, come in.

I have a message for Mitch Buchanan. Is he here?

Um, no, he's not, actually.

But I was just on my way out, so if you'd like to leave him a message,

there's a pad and a paper there, and it would be strictly confidential, and he

wouldn't have to.

I don't think so.

Ray.

I know that you don't know what this is about, but I do.

I can explain this if you just listen to me. I've always enjoyed women who don't

waste time, who like to get right to the point, if you don't mind the pun.

Okay.

Ray, I know that you've been suffering.

Personality changes.

Don't you feel them?

No, I like the way you talk.

The way your mouth moves.

I know that you've been fighting with yourself.

Fighting with those feelings to stay who you are. I like the way I am.

How about a movie?

It's got to be my wife all over again.

Wait, wait, wait.

Who's got Ryan? It's going to happen again.

We can't stop it, Mitch.

I'm telling you. Sit down.

You don't understand.

You never saw what he did to my wife.

He took her and he cut her.

When I got too close to him, Kemper made it personal.

He went after my wife.

She was his last victim.

He never told me that.

Listen to me, Mitch.

It's Regan.

Taking Ryan makes him fit the Kempner profile exactly. Wait a minute, wait a

minute here. I caught a glimpse of a black and white outside Regan's house.

Could have been Regan. He could have got the license plate and traded the phone

number.

What are you doing?

Just phone on the man if he redials the last person who called.

42nd Precinct.

So many love stories.

Gone with the wind.

From here to eternity.

An affair to remember.

I used to come here and be double -featured.

Can you smell the popcorn?

Oh, I loved the popcorn.

Ray, you don't want to do this.

All right.

Because we're lovers, aren't we?

You know what lovers do, don't you?

Sit in the balcony.

Come on.

We've got to find that guy.

Where do we start?

All right, Regan thinks he's... Templer. All right, so we've got to think like

Templer. You know this case like the back of your hand. Where would he take

victim? Someplace deserted where no one's around.

The station house on 44th Street. The parking lot of the Santa Monica Market.

The park where we found Donna. The old Culver Theater. Let's wait around the

corner. Come on.

I saw so many great movies here.

West Side Story.

That was a great love story.

Elma Gantry.

Claire Lancaster with Gene Simmons.

Is this Kempler talking or are you?

You tell me.

The movies change.

Bonnie and Clyde. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. I mean, they're love

stories. But they were...

There's Regan's black and white outside the theater.

I'm gonna call the police now. You do that.

Remember, the Kempler in him wants it to be just you versus him. That's part of

the chess game. To see who's smarter and who dies first.

Now give him what he wants.

What I mean is, Bonnie and Clyde, they were lovers.

But they killed together.

They died together.

That was their biggest turnout.

Roy, this isn't you talking.

Not really.

You weren't a bet.

Hey.

How about a kiss, baby?

Now, wouldn't that be romantic?

Up here in the balcony where the lovers come.

gonna have a movie show of our own any second now.

Isn't this exciting?

What's about it, Hero?

Can't see the forest or the trees?

Ryan?

Are you with him?

She's up here, Mr. Hero.

Just waiting for you to ride to the rescue.

Ryan?

Can you hear me?

Better answer him quickly. He doesn't have much time.

Mitch, the whole place is booby -trapped!

Why did you go and tell him my little secret?

Brian!

I'm coming!

You hear me, Reagan?

You better answer while he can still hear you.

Mitch, get out! Kimber's blood has total control of him!

Yes, it does.

Doesn't it?

And watch.

Oh, well, we work together.

I'm coming!

No!

Just what?

First, flash grenades blind him and he can't see.

Now, concussion grenades and he can't hear you.

Aren't cop toys just the best?

Let's finish what I started.

Come on.

All right. All right. Come on, Mitch. Come on. Come on. Hang in. Come on.

You've done it before.

All right. Go.

Go to your training.

All right.

Like a night dive, huh?

Can't see.

Barely here.

Right ahead.

Right ahead.

Rock through. Think. Think. Think.

Easy. Rock through. Think. Think.

You got there. You got there. You got there. You got there.

You got there. You got there. You got there. You got there. You got there. You

got there. You got there. You got there.

I'll finish with him and we can continue our romantic interlude, huh?

Did I tell you he can't hear you anymore?

And next time, we'll really be lovers in the balcony.

And you can do the lover's leap.

hostage. Ray, duck!

No! No!

No! No!

Stop it! Not him!

It's not Kemper!

It's not Kemper.

He's dead.

Kemper's dead.

He got what he deserves.

Mitch Buchanan, your thoughtfulness has meant so much.

Thank you for almost killing my husband and saving his life. Ellen Regan.

Wow.

Was there anyone else on the calendar for an accident?

One.

One? Yeah, a 14 -year -old girl.

Hello.

Uh, yeah, I'll tell him.

Okay.

Dr. Block needs to see us as soon as possible.
