All language subtitles for Profiler s03e07 Perfect Helen

Take you home now.

George. I thought golf was your choice
of recreation.

I got a call from my mother.

They're robbing Jewish graves in my
hometown. I need your help.

Your hometown is in Minnesota?

Longview, Minnesota.

I'll get in touch with Alan Marks. He's
in the hate crimes unit of the Civil

Rights Center. I need you to do more
than that.

Billy, my mother's a death camp
survivor.

She watched her whole family turn into
smoke at Bergen -Belsen, and she's about

the strongest person I know.

But when I talked to her this morning,
she sounded really scared, and I've

heard that in her voice before. So I'm
asking you, please, to send me back

with the full authority of the VCTF.

George, I'm on my way to budget hearings
in Washington.

They're counting pennies like they were
diamonds.

albeit these disgusting acts by sick
people, but how do I justify a request

intervention in a local act of
vandalism?

Not within our mandate.

It's a request from me.

Take a few days off.

Help your mother get through this.

Let Sam come with me.

George, there's no mystery to the
psychological state of his letter doing

Well, what about the psychological state
of the families who are being

victimized? Would it help you if I told
you that somebody threw a Molotov

cocktail through the window of the youth
activity center?

Yeah! That gets your attention.

If 12 people had died, we'd be on the
plane already.

Don't yell. And not to say that it won't
come to that. Two Jewish graves have

been robbed.

I mean, people have the right to feel
safe in their own community to at

take solace in knowing that their dead
can rest in peace. And if that doesn't

fall within our mandate, I'm sorry, our
mandate sucks!

Is that yelling?

I'll put the paperwork through for you
instead.

But don't yell at me anymore. I won't. I
wasn't.

The first body stolen was Natalie
Messenger, 31, and a week later, Cheryl

28 -year -old drowning victim.

And how did Messenger die?

Cubing.

Went to Hebrew school with their
brother, Jonathan.

I'm sorry, cause of death isn't noted.

Thanks for doing this. Oh, yeah.

You know, for people like my mother, I
can only imagine the memories that

something like this brings back.

My family's real name is Froelich.

I think my dad came here. I think he
thought...

Fraley was likely to be noticed.

He'd been noticed enough in Germany.

And after the war, the Americans
discovered the camps and my parents were

liberated.

Physically, anyway.

I mean, I love my mother.

There's always been a point beyond which
she is just...

out of reach.

When I first told her about Richard and
me, I honestly did not know if she would

embrace the idea or start to cry.

Of course, she didn't either.

I've never seen her cry.

Not even when my dad died.

And when I hit my fifth month, that's
when the Fargo jokes all started.

Getting pretty tired of them. Not to
mention some pretty keen latte

Well, based on footprints, it's one
fellow that did it.

Canvassed the area around the cemetery.

Groundskeeper didn't see or hear
anything unusual.

We got units posted at both ends of the
property around the clock since the

attack.

Guess you saw the graffiti coming in.
Yeah, it's pretty hard to miss. Happened

few days ago.

Not at the same time the grave was
robbed?

No, ma 'am.

But you think the same people were
responsible?

We've had a resurgence of gang -related
activities lately.

Skinheads mostly, Nazi hate groups.

You know who did this, Carrick? John,
take it easy. You know it.

Jonathan Kuby, the special agent's
waters, and Fraley with the FBI.

You don't need the FBI.

George Fraley?

I don't believe it. You're with the FBI.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You wouldn't know this place anymore,
George.

When we were kids, it was... Now these
Nazi bastards are running around, nobody

does anything.

Brad Mueller did this. He's got three
eyewitnesses, can put him across the

county line at the time Cheryl's grave
was dug up. We have his skinhead. He has

my sister!

I don't even want to think about what
he's doing with her.

A bunch of them were handing out Nazi
flyers in front of my father's store.

Damn right I kicked them down the block.

Now he steals my little sister out of
the ground.

So this was retaliation? My family stood
right here yesterday saying goodbye.

I want my sister found, Karen. Let us
take care of this, John.

Something's a prompt that's kind of
malicious.

Well, I'm not sure that it was
malicious.

Now, how did Natalie Miffinger die?

diabetic, went into deep insulin shock,
never came out, and Cheryl Cubby

drowned, so neither body was disfigured.

You think that's important?

I mean, are we dealing with some kind of
weird sex thing?

I don't think we can rule out anything
yet. Have you talked to the employees at

the places where the bodies were handled
the more your funeral homes?

It's on my to -do list.

George, I'm not sure that these
defecations are anti -feminic.

Then why have they only robbed Jewish
graves?

I don't know.

I don't know.

This is harassment, man.

I already told you where I was.

Your witness recanted, Brad.

Said you threatened to torch his pool
hall if he didn't lie for you.

Well, how do I know where I was?

I was at a bunch of places last night.
Maybe one of them was West Park

where you dug up Cheryl Covey. Either
you did it or someone you know, Brad.

We want to put Jews in the ground, not
dig them up.

That doesn't even make sense.

You better pick a side, because this is
history repeating itself.

I don't need a history lesson from you.
A group empowers a guy like that.

I doubt that he'd have the courage to do
it.

Wake up!

The Jews are in control.

Who do you think got the feds involved,
huh?

That's the way they work at the Jews.

They get behind the scenes, like
festering.

And then they pull all the strings.

We're being railroaded here and you
don't even know it.

We should have gassed them all when we
had the chance.

This is you?

Yeah. Circle welcome back, Connor.

Look at this hair.

Please be kind.

Oh, yeah. Save my dessert.

Mrs. Grayley, dinner was wonderful.

Thank you.

Pot roast was always my favorite.

It was?

Why, you knew that.

Sam thinks that the grave robbings might
not be religiously motivated. Oh, I'm

not sure that that gang had anything to
do with it.

They probably painted the graffiti and
attacked the youth center, but they

not have disturbed the graves. Who else?

Most of the people in this town are
decent. We've been treated very well

Who else would do this?

Well, I wish that I could tell you this,
really.

Well, excuse me. I've got temple.

Oh, can't you skip it just once? I'll
call the rabbi, get your dispensation.

It's Friday night.

You know, I still have to check into the
hotel, so I'm just gonna... Oh, you

can't go to a hotel, no.

I made up Rachel's room.

Oh, no, I don't want to be an
imposition. Consider it an honor.

My sister's room is sacred territory.
It's the childhood nest of the premier

cardiologist in Chicago. Oh, well, thank
you, but I really shouldn't... No, Sam,

no. She's tougher than you are.

The towels are on the bed.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Ma? Bye.

We'll see you when you get back.

Bye.

Bye.

You know, you don't have to wait here
with me.

I haven't been to Temple since my bar
mitzvah.

I hit 14 and I was done with it.

Man, she's gone now anyway.

Where is she?

What did you do with my... You bastard.

You feel better now?

I'd do it again if that's what you're
asking. You put that kid in a coma,

Yeah. He had it coming.

What if it wasn't him? Then it was one
of them.

They're all the same.

What? They're all the same.

So one screwed up 16 -year -old kid just
like another. So what? Let's just beat

them all up. Right? Hell, let's just
kill them all. Let's just exterminate

anybody who doesn't think like we do.
She's not your sister.

Who asked you to come back here after 15
years with your liberal crap and make

excuses for that kid?

Maybe you're willing to let him get away
with it, but I'm not. You hit them.

They hit back.

It's got to stop somewhere.

Yeah, with us hitting them.

My God, George.

What kind of Jew are you?

You don't know what dealing with that
kind of hatred is like.

You don't know it.

Sure.

I found one of the bodies.

What?

Is it Cheryl?

Natalie Messenger.

First body, doll.

He wrapped her pretty carefully.

It's almost as if he wanted to return
her to her family undamaged.

Her grave was just over there.

He may have wanted to put her back, but
the police scared him off.

Here, she's a brunette. Three years ago,
according to our Minnesota statement.

What are you thinking?

If this was an anti -Semitic crime, he
never would have returned the body.

Especially not in this condition.

I don't think that this is about hatred.

I think it's about creation.

Here.

That's better. Just relax.

You've had such a long day.

I wish it didn't work so hard.

Well, a little champagne and your
favorite robe.

I just love these quiet nights.

Hold on.

After 60 years, another crystal night.

In English, it sounds pretty.

Crystal night.

When they burned all the synagogues, the
streets were full of broken glass, like

crystals in the moonlight.

We never talked about it. Never.

It was always too young. Someday.

Sunday never came.

It's had nothing to do with the wrapping
of this grave.

It does now.

According to Jewish law, a body is
buried unadorned in a shroud and no

embalming. I'm surprised I remembered
that. So once rigged past, the body

be pliable, almost lifelike.

So, when do you do, Del? It feels like
five minutes.

You all right?

She wasn't tampered with sexually.

The color on her hair was done post
-mortem, no evidence of absorption.

Traces of perfume on her skin.

When was it applied?

Last day or so.

So he didn't do it to cover the smell of
the cake.

Oh, no, she held up amazingly well. I
mean, she's starting to go. Her skin's

sloughing off.

So he dyes her hair, put perfume on her.

He's creating an illusion.

The illusion of a woman that he wants, a
woman he can't have,

a woman who wears a bracelet but only
one earring.

Couldn't she be the woman?

He couldn't accept her death, so he
opened up the grave and... No, that

explain one body, but not two. And if
this is the woman that he wants, he

probably wouldn't change her appearance.

He wasn't trying to preserve her
chemically.

He must have kept her in some kind of
cold storage.

Like a freezer?

No, not a freezer. Just cold.

A furrier's storage room.

Grace, any way you can tell what kind of
person she was?

Sam. Anne Bancroft was the miracle
worker.

Right. Well, let me get on this cold
storage thing.

Maybe we were wrong about the skinheads.
I mean, maybe it was them. Maybe they

did do it.

Maybe. George, whoever sold the bodies
probably knew that they weren't

Well, how could we be sure of that?

Well, it's kind of coincidental.

Okay, so you're saying that a Jew would
know about the embalming, right? I mean,

whoever did this isn't a Nazi skinhead.
He's a Jew.

Well, that is a possibility, yes.

Start with the Minnesota Department of
Mental Health and see if I can come up

with something.

Mom.

We'll get this cleaned up. We'll find
whoever's responsible.

A little girl in the ghetto.

For two years, she lay in bed in a room
without windows.

Someone had painted a flower for her on
the wall.

The only flower she ever saw.

My sister.

When I called you...

You could have sent people.

Why did you come?

I thought you needed me.

sharp little teeth you have.

I love that perfume you are.

I'll see you.

You sure will.

Yes, ma 'am.

Helen, Jeffrey.

Yes. All the funeral expenses for the
Kiggy family have been paid.

No, there were no embalming services.

The Cubies are Jewish.

I think that's against their law.

A meatpacking plant in the area, but it
closed six months ago because of E.

coli.

Three furriers, but on interview, I
doubt they fit your profile.

Of course, what is your profile?

The man that we're looking for is very
neat, very orderly.

His appearance probably is as well,
although I doubt you would ever notice

He doesn't.

On some level, he actually respects
women.

You have a nice assortment of live
candidates.

Well, he also fears them.

A real relationship would terrify him.
He's so emotionally closed down.

He does have an artistic side.

It's almost as if he's...

Turning her into a work of art.
Literally artistic. She would be

supply stores for customers.

We don't have an art supply store in
town.

They might over in Thorpe. Oh, I
couldn't hurt.

Although I doubt that they would
remember him. He doesn't have the

artist personality. He's all repression,
no flair.

Probably lives alone.

Works in a place where he's isolated
from other people.

Do you think she works there too?

Yes, I do.

I think that's where he watches her.

So what, he settles for a fix from the
real thing during the day, and then at

night he's got his substitute to come
home to him.

I hope you like this one.

It goes so well with your dress.

No,

it's a lobster bisque, laced with just a
little sherry.

Nope, let's wait until after we eat.

All right.

I thought you might like some cocoa to
help you sleep.

Oh, thank you, Rose.

Oh,

I hope that you don't mind. George said
that it was okay. Of course.

George respects and admires you very
much.

Oh, he's a very good friend.

This may seem strange for a mother to
ask, but do

you think he's content with his life?

Yeah, if I do, I think that means very
good.

Don't cry.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh.

They said my grandmother, my mother, and
I had the same face.

They died at Bergen -Belsen.

They died, and I didn't.

How were you able to go on?

What place is there?

You turn to God, and you turn away, but
you go on.

And you recognize that in going on,
you're more than just surviving

for your own sake.

You come to understand that you're here
to bear witness for the ones who have no

voices.

But with you, I don't understand.

A young woman, intelligent, attractive,
you could do anything at all.

And yet you immerse yourself in such
horror.

That I don't understand.

Well, I...

It should be on its way to confirm his
sister's ID.

Blonde hair?

One ear.

Looks like he tried to pour some
bracelet on that didn't fit.

What'd they find?

The illusion was broken, so he gave it
back.

I got her from here, Phil.

Yeah, no one's, uh, it's all locked up.

Cheryl. My God, what did he do to her?

Come on, Jen.

He was returning Natalie Messenger to
her family.

So why does he bring Cheryl QB here? I
mean, the QBs live on the other side of

town. Because she may live near here.

The woman he wants her to be.

Careful, flipper.

Nice tie.

Hey, all the years that I have known
you, how come you never ask me out?

You're the girl of the complex.

There you are, you little sneak.

How come you haven't said anything to me
about this before now? Yeah, that would

be smart, right?

Jinx myself by telling everyone about my
transfer before the partners approve

it? I'm so excited.

And I'm jealous.

I love New York.

We are really going to miss you around
here.

It's a medic, though.

Aren't you going to miss Helen?

Hey, baby.

Hello there.

Will you rehearse that line or what?

30 bucks for an hour, 200 for the night.
What's your pleasure?

Good night.

Good night.

Man, it's colder in here than it is
outside.

Into math, huh?

Careful, please.

Whatever.

So what does an octurian do?

Actuarian.

Crunches numbers for insurance.

So you're going to throw me down on the
bed and count your blessings?

Look, you're a nice guy and all, but I'm
not getting this. Just be her.

Hey.

Not in my eyes.

That's not how you do it anyway.

Please don't do that.

What?

I'm cold. She doesn't do that. Well, she
would if she were here.

Look, you don't want to have sex. That's
cool. It's your money.

Whatever.

But I got to do something to keep warm.

You can do this. Come on. I'll show you.

Why the hell did you pick me up? No,
please don't leave please don't leave

For a guy to go through all this, that
Helen must be one frigid bitch.

Don't call her that!

Listen, buddy, I've had just about
enough of this.

No.

No! No!

No!

Get me out of here! No!

No!

No! No! No!

No! No!

No!

No!

You're not her anyway.

Aha. Got him.

Finally. Thank you. Well deserved, I
might add. Oh, you got in? Yeah, through

the proverbial back door.

The Minnesota Department of Mental
Health was the easy part.

The problem was cross -referencing
patient records with the Druid Council.

I had to go through six different
websites to come up with a common Judaic

lineage. And, you know, between the
sterns that changed to stone, people

dropping Baum and Berg from their last
names. I mean, I didn't think I was ever

going to compile a list of suspects.

It's longer than I thought.

What am I doing?

I'm hunting Jews.

No, you're compiling a list of suspects
with a history of mental illness.

Of Jews.

I'm breaking it down by religion, by
belief.

I don't do that. I've never done that.
I've put together a thousand letters.

George, I can understand you being
emotional.

I'm not emotional.

I mean, if I were, then I would know why
I can't just shrug it off and do my

job. I mean, I'm a lot more my job than
I am a Jew.

At least I always thought so.

I was using this to coach Hebrew to get
into a website where you listen to this.

Thou hast implanted in man the faith to
overcome disillusionment and despair,

the power to resist evil, and the will
to transform chaos and misery into

harmony and happiness.

When we loose the bands of wickedness,
when we strive for justice, and the

coming of thy kingdom, we invest our
life with high significance.

We invest our life with high
significance.

This is from a memorial service, okay?

And in this prayer for the dead, there's
no mention of death.

I mean, the word doesn't even appear.

It's about a reverence for life.

Beautiful.

Oof. Same perfume.

Drenched her in it.

Dead less than 12 hours.

They found her in an alley near the high
school. No gift wrapping like the

others.

He didn't kill the others.

This has never been about killing.

She probably gave up her amateur status
some time ago.

Do you think maybe this is the woman he
wanted all along?

No, I don't. I mean, look at the way
that he's dressed her. She's still part

his illusion.

The woman that he wants is still out
there.

Something must have happened to make him
approach her. I mean, they were totally

out of character.

Something that destroyed the image of
his ideal.

Maybe he found out she has a boyfriend.

Or he actually tried to talk to her and
she blew him off.

He was content to create substitutes as
long as he could see her every day.

So what if he couldn't see her anymore?

She got a new job.

She moved away? Well, then why go after
this poor woman? I mean, why not go to

her directly? Because he's afraid he
can't go to her directly.

Who knows, maybe this woman was a
practice run, but if her leaving is

he's going to have to overcome his fear.

He's going to try and stop her.

Pepper, give a girl a complex.

Do you think she'd be moving locally,
like across town?

Long distance.

If it was a local move, you'd probably
be able to follow her.

There's only three moving companies in
town.

We're getting a list of their clients.

Of course, you could just be throwing
her stuff in a van.

You scared me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

That's all right.

And champagne. I think I drink too much.
I always think, you know, that

champagne makes you woozy.

Cliff, that is so sweet. Just put it in
here and I'll open it when I... Open it.

These are mine.

Where they disappeared to?

Cliffy, where did you find me?

Clifford?

Okay, 27 change of address forms filed
with the post office that take effect

this week.

11 moving out of town.

How many of them are women?

Four. Do you recognize his name?

No.

All right, George, let's try and find
out where they work.

Why? We know where they live.

Well, if they work together, we can find
out where he lives.

And that's where he would take her.

Someplace where he felt safe.

I swear, Clifford, I won't say a word.

So, as I was saying, the first time I
took the actuarial exam,

I got a nine.

A nine is the highest you can get. But
then when I took the life contingency

exam, I got an eight.

For God's sake, I'm freezing.

Oh, I'm...

What did I ever do to you? God, I barely
said a word to you.

When you look at the equation, it's
really artistic, the way the components

together.

The QXs and then the life expectations.

I know it'll warm you up.

A little lobster bisque.

Lay it with just a little sherry.

Okay?

All right.

Why?

Come on.

Open up.

Come on.

Open up.

You sick son of a bitch!

Everyone's dead! you were a crazy
bastard. I was only nice to you because

sorry for you. Now let me go!

You felt sorry for me?

Helen's a great girl. She's warm,
outgoing.

Sorry to hear you go.

You're right.

Who'd she have relationships with in the
office?

Everyone.

Well, somewhere deeper than that. Was
there anyone that she ignored? Anyone

everyone ignored?

Yeah, there was one guy.

How long has he worked here?

Well, I've been with the company four
years, and he was here before I got

As far as I know, he never worked
anywhere else. And where is Helen's

It's the next cubicle over.

What's his name?

Clifford Dickey.

I'm not kidding.

This isn't what I wanted to have happen
at all.

Please.

But I can't let you go, and I...

Can't keep you either.

Believe me, I've tried.

I swear, Clifford, I won't tell.

You know, I... I think this really could
be the best of both worlds.

You'll be gone, but I'll always have
you.

Clifford. Please don't struggle. Please
don't struggle.

When I was a kid, they had to drag me in
there on a Friday night.
