All language subtitles for Profiler s03e10 Ceremony Of Innocence

Come on, let go.

Sit back more.

What do we got? It's a weird one,
Lieutenant.

I've never seen one like this.

Hands clenched like he was in a prayer.

Three shots to the heart.

Diagonal line.

One to the kneecap.

You ever seen one like this?

Only heard about it.

They got an execution scheduled at
Riverton.

This is the exact same M .O.

They could be getting ready to
electrocute the wrong guy.

Okay, fellas, get him out of there.

All right, let's go.

We're sure Hector and the condemned
prisoner are the same height and weight?

It's a new policy we instituted last
year. We make our adjustments ahead of

so the prisoner isn't subject to undue
delays.

Until it's more humane.

You all right, bud?

Thank you for volunteering, Hector.

It's a real deal in 24 hours.

We have a problem.

Martin Fizer is scheduled to be executed
at Riverton Penitentiary at 12 .01

tonight. Well, I'd say that was his
problem. Who's Martin Fizer?

Nine years ago, he was convicted of a
series of murders in which all the

were subjected to extreme humiliation,
shot in the knee to incapacitate found

a praying position.

Last night, there was another killing.

Exact same signature.

Same weapon?

That's what we're trying to determine.

What is it?

I wrote the profile that convicted him.

New York strip, medium rare, and a
Caesar salad.

I like your style, Fizer.

Most guys just order chicken fries,
steak, and onion rings.

Well, to each his own.

My shift's over at noon.

Won't be seeing you again.

So long, Phil.

In his mind, Pfizer was the victim.

Small boy with bad eyesight, talented
but bullish.

Subject, Martin Pfizer.

Natively intelligent, but a classic
underachiever. He exhibits the arrogance

derived from conflicting personality
traits, suppressed ego, and the

need for self -qualification.

This was from your profile nine years
ago.

I sound so officious. Did he know his
victims personally?

Not that we know of, but people who did
know them said that they were all

bullies.

Alone.

I know. We've got less than nine hours.

With the media focused on the execution,
it's more than likely that somebody is

just trying to copy Pfizer's MO. Well,
according to this, the police never

released the information about the
victim's spraying or the fact that they

shot in a diagonal line across the
heart.

Copycat, who has access to these files?

The body's being helicoptered to us as
we speak. It should be here within 20

minutes. I'd better get organized.

Okay. Here's a choice tidbit.

They never found Pfizer's murder weapon.

Nine years later, the gun's been bought
and sold a hundred times.

His mail is down to a trickle. Only
steady correspondence with his aunt in

Sarasota. They play chess.

He was convicted on a combination of
tyrant shoe prints at the scene, a

who provided a slightly vague
description.

And Sam's profile.

I'd only been out of the academy for
about a year when they asked me to look

the evidence and write that profile.

Don't get defensive.

Everything that went into it was the
best information that I had at the time.

I never met Martin Pfizer. I never spoke
to him.

But there's no reason to believe that I
arrived at the wrong conclusion.

Except for what happened last night.

Except for what happened last night.

Eight and a half hours.

I want to talk to Pfizer.

Mr. Fetters.

Waters.

How are you? I'm fine, thank you.

Ah, if I were a younger man, that would
be of a beautiful young woman.

Now it's trees and sunshine.

Most importantly.

You know, I always meant to drop you a
line.

About your profile, I mean.

Highly intelligent, classic
underachiever, suppressed ego combined

compelling need for self -glorification.

I remember.

The jury was very impressed.

May I?

Oh.

I'm sure that you've heard of the murder
that was committed last night.

It was identical to the ones you were
convicted of. These things happen all

time, you know that?

Well, we're running a ballistic test to
determine if the bullets match the gun

you were convicted of using.

If they do, we can try to get a stay of
execution.

I don't want it. You want your sentence
carried out even if... Yes.

For the first time in nine years, I am
actually looking forward to something.

No exit wounds.

The bullets have got to be in here
somewhere.

Terry Piper, high school gym teacher,
kind of a great Santini, according to

school principal.

Liked to intimidate those who were
physically weaker.

A bully.

Was found in a praying position and
asked to gather.

How do you think he got these scratches,
Grace?

Could have been when he fell.

He put his hands out to break his fall.

Well, how would you explain the
similarities?

Last night, the victim was found in the
prayer position.

I would not be interested in explaining
that.

You have no interest in saving your
life.

There is nothing left of my life to
save.

Now, I don't expect you to understand
that, but I would hope that you would

respect it.

Well, I can't let it happen.

Not if there's a doubt I can.

that happen.

Well, it's not up to you, Dr. Waters.

You wrote a good profile.

You're nothing to feel guilty about.

You did your job.

Besides, it's getting too late to do
anything about it anyway.

For once, time is on my

side.

Voila!

Damn it. Hit a bone.

You'll never get a match out of that.

Hit me.

After all these years, I finally got
lucky.

Not really, Earl.

You know what I like? What I like about
chess is there is no luck.

No cards to be dealt, numbers on dice.

Just all appear.

Thank you for letting me pray with you,
Martin.

You know, I used to have a deal with
your God.

I never went to his house.

He never came to mine.

Though, he sent his best to try.

I'll be back when it's time.

Pfizer is not the man I profiled.

I've gone over it all again. The crime
scene photos, the victimologies.

That man gloried in his victory over
bullies. He would never resign himself

death. Maybe he's finally admitting his
guilt.

Issues of guilt and innocence don't seem
to matter to him.

He just wants it over.

There is no inflated self -esteem. The
arrogance that he lorded over his

is completely gone.

Nine years in prison can change
someone's life.

Well, it may alter someone's behavior,
Bailey, but people are who people are.

And Martin Fizer and the profile that I
wrote are two different people.

Grace, you still haven't found any both?

No, two of them are inusable.

I spoke to the governor.

He's prepared to issue a stay, but only
if we find a match.

I got it.

This one we can use.

I'll get this over with the ballistics.

Good thing man committed all the murder.

Listen to us.

What if I made a terrible mistake?

What if he died because of my profile?

It won't be because of your profile.

There were many factors that were
involved.

You didn't convict him.

The system did.

Right.

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed
be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive

those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil.

Amen.

And therefore I say unto you, take no
thought of your life, nor eat, nor

nor eat of your life.

You haven't heard from the governor?

No.

Ballistics test should have been done 20
minutes ago.

Got a line open?

This man may not be guilty.

Nothing I can do unless the governor
calls.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is
with thee. Blessed art thou amongst

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our

Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord
is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our

Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord
is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst

women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us
sinners now and at the hour of our

Amen.

Pursuant to Superior Court Case Number
24561, you, Martin Samuel Fizer, have

been convicted by jury on six counts of
capital murder for which you have been

sentenced to death.

Upon appeal, the sentence was affirmed.

A warrant of execution having been
requested and filed, it will now be

out.

Is there anything you'd like to say?

Everything.

is as it should be.

God have mercy on your soul, Martin.

This is Jack McCone.

Yes, sir.

Get away from the switch.

Repeat. Do not touch that switch.

Aye. You have a stay of 24 hours.

I didn't want this.

You did it for you.

Mr. Father, this is not just about me
trying to relieve my guilt. Then why did

you?

To find the real killer?

To correct the mistake that you made
nine years ago?

You have had nine years to reach that
conclusion.

All the time it dawns on you that it
would cost me my life?

Look, we have 22 hours.

Let's not... What?

Let's not waste time.

There is new evidence.

New evidence?

What am I supposed to do? Thank you.
Thank you for finding it. Thank you for

putting me through another day of hell.

Another day of thinking about death
rather than being dead and never having

think about it again.

A witness.

Placed you at the murder scene of Joseph
Dooley. Oh, please.

I was jogging through the park.

Did you see anyone that... I am not
going to let you build up my hopes

Look, we didn't think that those bullets
were going to match, but they did.

Now, did you see anyone at that murder
scene?

It's on the records.

Some skinny guy.

Dark hair.

I didn't see his face.

Tell me something.

Do you think that you're the only person
who's come here to play savior?

Every bleeding heart group in the
country has sent someone here to save

Straight.

You want to pray with me, Dr. Waters?

Come on.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed
be thy name. Amen.

Don't you see?

Once the system is turned on, it just
keeps grinding until something is dead.

Less than 22 hours to find the man who
killed Piper with the same .38.

I examine crime scenes. I look at
physical evidence.

And the profile I come up with can't
sway a verdict.

It's the system we've got, Sam.

Of all the profiles that I've written,
what if I've been wrong?

You do the best you can under the
conditions present.

But you're not infallible. Yeah, but is
that really good enough? It has to be,

otherwise we couldn't function at all.

Thanks.

Okay, this is every pertinent fact,
crime scene photo, and file from the

original case.

Are we still working off the original
profile?

The original profile is still germane.

I want all of you on this material.
Check for inconsistencies, incomplete

reports, interviews from the original
case.

He's decided to kill again on the eve of
Pfizer's execution.

It's been rescheduled for 19 hours from
now.

Chances are he'll do it again.

He's a white male. By now, he's probably
in his mid to late 30s.

He may be thin, weak -looking. His
arrogance outmatches his physical

That's why he kills the physically
intimidating.

His confidence is derived from his
intellect.

That describes Pfizer.

6 '1", all of 160 pounds.

We're not talking about Pfizer.

We're starting fresh on the assumption
that after a nine -year layoff, our

killer is back.

Okay. I've got three detectives at your
disposal.

Once the tension was focused on Pfizer,
the ball may have been dropped on other

suspects. It's been nine years, Carla.

You going to help me scare up these
people?

Are we sticking with the M .O. from the
original profile?

Yeah, just the basics. A killer who
stalks an abusive personality, disables,

humiliates, and then kills them.

Commonality from the previous theory
suggests that the killer didn't know his

victims. That's why he talks when he
observes their behavior and then he

attacks.

Grace, what did you get from the
abrasions on Piper's hands?

When I was going to do that, you wanted
bullets.

I gave you bullets.

There was a lactic acid buildup in the
muscles, indicating some type of

exertion. But there was no sign of a
fight.

No. It was mostly isolated in the upper
body and in the arms. You mean like he

was forced to carry heavy objectors? You
know, I don't know yet.

I'll know something about the abrasions
in a few hours.

John, get with Carla's men to Canvas
Piper's apartment building, the school

where he teaches. George, run down his
stats. Insurance fraud, bad credit,

debts, whatever.

There's a possibility someone's turning
Pfizer's headlines into an opportunity

to throw off suspicion.

Okay, we're on the clock.

I want to go to this latest crime scene.

I'll arrange it.

Hundreds of tire tracks in and out.

He knew we'd get nothing.

Yeah, he dropped the body in a very
public place because he wanted it found

quickly. He was on a clock too, Bailey.

Gravel. The abrasions on his hands.

Yeah, the other victims were on the
prayer position on their knees. This

on his hands and knees?

Crawling. Yeah.

Maybe the killer is getting into the
process of humiliation more. He wants it

last longer.

Why not? He's gotten away with it so
far.

Could there be another reason?

You could still be a copycat.

You could be trying to fill in the
blanks because you think Pfizer's

Because you want to think he's innocent.

Look, Sam, just because we're fighting
the clock, we can't let it affect our

objectivity. Look, I'm not racing to
fill in the blanks. I'm just trying to

consider everything that I may have
overlooked.

You believe we're trying to let an
innocent man go free?

I believe Sam's profile, right or wrong,
probably fits 100 people.

Yeah, but 99 of those people didn't kill
anybody.

That doesn't answer my question.

Okay.

I guess my answer is I can't do what's
being asked of me if I think we're

a mistake.

You think Pfizer is guilty?

Despite the preponderance of
circumstantial evidence, the fact that a

weapon was never found... I just can't
believe that for nine years and hundreds

of people, cops, lawyers, the judge, a
jury, can be so wrong about Pfizer for

long.

Happens. I mean, not very often, but it
happens.

What are you really objecting to?

I don't know, I guess.

I don't want to be the ones who came in
here and let a killer go free.

I mean, we know that this killer has
been humiliated and bullied. I mean,

now he feels that he's being humiliated
by the system. They're trying to end his

reign of dominance, so he wants to
reclaim his glory. I don't know.

He's probably obsessed with thoughts of
Pfizer, reads and watches everything

that he can get his hands on. So where's
he been? Jail?

Or something else?

Well, that would explain the time gap.
It also makes sense that he would have a

criminal record, yeah.

Twelve hours, Bailey.

Let's go.

What's the matter with you? What are you
doing? I'm just making you worse.

You still cost me two grand.

Are you a brain dead or something?

I'm sorry.

Leave it.

I'll have a little white wine.

You moron.

I'm sorry about that.

My killer wants Pfizer to stay alive
more than Pfizer does himself because

Pfizer died, he owns the crime.

Why didn't he resume killing when Pfizer
was convicted?

Because he loves being free, the
arrogance of getting away with it all.

It's about him.

His absolute power and dominance.

The humiliation, the degradation is his
to mete out.

It's symbolic.

Makes him feel even more powerful.

Takes away their dignity, methodically,
until there's nothing left.

Feeding off their humiliation, staving
off his own.

I got another 38 and a corpse that
smells like he's showered in bourbon.

All yours, doll.

His name's Raymond Williams, a local
lawyer. According to those who knew him,

made Johnny Cochran look like Clarence
Darrow.

Abusive and pricey.

Well, that explains the labels on his
clothes. At least he knew how to shop,

huh? Also, three months ago, one of his
employees threw a sexual harassment

lawsuit at him the size of Texas.

An abusive drunk and a gym teacher who's
a bully.

Unfortunately, they both fit.

A little more.

He showered in bourbon and dined on Ben
Franklin's.

You were saying, Grace?

There's got to be 300 bucks in here, and
I don't think that he was making

change.

He's having the last laugh.

The lawyer was in love with money.

His killer used that love as part of his
humiliation.

And the gym teacher, I mean, he could
have been forced to repeat some sort of

exercise. I don't know, push -ups or
something. That would explain the

on his hands.

Sounds like the same deal as nine years
ago. No, no. Nine years ago, the

humiliation was general. I mean, they
were forced to pray, beg for their

but each one had to do the same thing.

This killer is getting the last laugh.

Because the humiliations are specific to
the victims.

I don't know, maybe he knew them, or
maybe they bullied him at one time.

Look, we always assume that Pfizer never
knew his victims, that it was vicarious

retribution, right?

But these personal aspects of the latest
crimes, I mean, that is something that

a copycat would do.

Bring his own personality to someone
else's MO.

He was saying Pfizer's innocent.

I know.

And now it's a copycat.

If it is a copycat, Fize is still
guilty.

Nine years later, the same gun.

And how did he communicate with someone
from the outside?

The original profile, Sam. I don't know.

I don't know, Bailey. I'm trying to
figure it out.

George, let's see if we can find the
connection between the latest two

Get a list of students from the gym
classes.

Cross -check with anything you find from
the lawyer's line.

Hi, Seth.

I got those papers over to Dylan Grace
on time.

You know, in case they ask.

I don't think anybody will ask anything
today.

Here's the six o 'clock run.

It's on all the news.

It's even on cable.

Incredible, isn't it?

I saw Ray when he left last night.

You never think something like this is
going to happen to somebody you know.

Yeah. I'm just freaked out.

It's weird.

There was a staff meeting this morning.
You know what they talked about?

The sexual harassment case. I guess it's
sort of up in the air now.

Oh, I guess that's good.

It doesn't save me anything.

It's funny.

I don't think anybody here really liked
Ray.

He hit on all the girls.

He was always yelling at you.

Yeah, well, no, he yelled at all the
couriers.

Yeah, I guess.

personnel list.

Could you get one for them, please?

All right, Mr. Hunter.

FBI. Woo.

So, anyway, I also heard at the staff
meeting they were talking about who's

going to replace Ray as manager of the
park.

Jeff had the advice for that, but it
looks iffy now.

Four down, four to go.

It's interesting there are that many
people that connect between the gym and

law firm.

Bailey, do you believe in the death
penalty?

In certain cases.

Like?

A heinous crime and no reasonable doubt.

In the last 25 years, 69 people have
been released from death row because

were found to be innocent.

That's just the ones we know about.

Bailey, I got something.

Seth Elliott, 39.

He was a student in Piper's gym class,
and he's employed by the Williams Law

Firm as a courier. We got commonality.

Where did he live nine years ago?

He does now. He was institutionalized
when he was a kid.

Anti -social behavior by the tendencies.

We need a warrant.

Call an ambulance I got it

Ray Williams deserved what he got as
well as Larry Piper.

And all the ones, it surprises, have
been in jail for.

I'm proud of what I've done. Somebody
had to stand up to these bullies and

them pay for their abuses.

Some would agree with what I did, not
for the many who do, but for all the

people I did this for.

I'm their hero, Seth Elliott.

It's a fully signed confession.

That match for his handwriting.

Let's get these confirmed.

Debt -fed confession.

Ought to get Pfizer as a pardon.

Assuming he dies.

Call the warden of the governor's office
and make the necessary arrangements.

Got it.

Why would he take his own life? Looked
to me like he was ready to take us all

on.

Fits your profile.

The arrogance you talked about.

Yeah, but he knew he'd be shot. I mean,
it was suicide.

Would a man that arrogant commit
suicide?

You could look at it another way.

Seth went down in a hell of fire.

At least the man you profiled.

Did Elliot say anything on the ambulance
ride over?

Ray said he was hanging by a thread. Now
he said a word.

Excuse me. Can you take a picture of
this for me?

Thank you.

What's going through your mind, Sam?

Nothing. I'm just tired.

Bailey.

Check.

Time to go.

Some papers to sign in the warden's
office.

I was fast.

The governor's making a grandstand here.

You know that system you feared so much?

Now it's a runaway train in your favor.

Come on, you can get that stuff together
later. I think there's a press

conference or something.

I don't have anything prepared.

Since when are you at a loss for words?

It's a media service.

Television coverage every channel.

Malone.

He doesn't have much stuff.

Port files, newspaper, books,
chessboard.

Checkmate.

They've been communicating.

This is the exact same game that Seth
had set up in his apartment.

Seth is still alive.

Barely but alive.

Sunshine.

The most important thing.

I'm just not anxious.

That's how they make the real game.

We need George.

And I never gave up hope that I would
see that again.

I mean, that's all you have.

Hope, faith, faith in the American
system of justice.

Greatest system in the world.

Oh, man.

Would that be the same system he's been
bitching about over the last nine years?

Okay, that's it. Pfizer never had a hand
for Paris Delta or anywhere else.

I even checked phone records going back
20 years. Seth Elliott was a man.

He's the one who was playing chess with
him. So, how'd they meet?

Back in 93, Seth worked as a courier for
the law firm that handled Pfizer's

appeal. After the appeal, they must have
kept in contact with the check.

Pfizer had total control over Seth. He
was the perfect candidate.

When he knew we had him, he pointed Seth
right to the murder weapon.

Anointed him.

We're still talking circumstantial.
There's no linkage between Pfizer and

that'll stand up in court.

Samantha Waters never gave up her faith.

I only hope that someday I can thank her
in person.

This chapter's over.

I just want to forgive and move on and
enjoy

the sunshine.

Thank you.

What is that condition?

Grim. Grace, Teddy. But he's not dead.

We're talking degrees, minutes maybe.
But he's not dead.

I doubt if he'll have anything to say
anytime soon.

If it... He might.

He could.

Excuse me.

I have to use the men's room. Could you
watch this door?

Hey!

Excuse me, Doc.

People believe for the world to worry
about them.

I beat them all. I mean, I beat them.
The cops, the lawyers, FBI, the whole

bunch.

For doing my bidding,

for setting me free.

Ah, gentlemen, gentlemen.

The rules, you know.

Only two visitors at a time.

Come on. Hey, there are very sick people
here.

There certainly are.

Dr. Waters.

I was hoping I would get a chance to see
you before you left town.

But this is so unexpected.

Off death row six hours, you get
yourself arrested and thrown right back

For what?

Visiting the man for whom I spent nine
years in prison?

For the murders you were convicted for.

No, no, no. I was pardoned.

Double jeopardy.

Your confession enables the state to
overturn that pardon.

A confession we have on tape.

You set me up.

You watched him die.

No. He died four hours ago.

You just couldn't help yourself, could
you?

You had to tell someone how good you
are.

Come on.

Yeah, get on there.

Come on.

Martin Samuel Fizer, do you have
anything you'd like to say?

Amen.

He's dead.
