Original subtitles

First, your mouth gets kind of dry.

Then your palms start sweating.

Your stomach gets real jumpy, like you ate a bad taco.

Close to you, you get to the edge.

You start feeling like there's nothing under you at all. Like you're flying,

man. Like you're just ready to take off and fly.

I mean, trust me.

Would I lie to you?

I can't, man.

Trust me.

Now get closer.

Closer.

Feel like you're just ready to fly?

I don't know, man.

Close your eyes, then.

Close them, Jeff.

I got you, man. I got you. Don't let go, man. Please don't let go.

Come on, man. Pull me up.

Please. Please pull me up.

Hey, what are you doing?

Come on, man. Don't let go.

No.

You were quiet at breakfast.

For years I was a 33.

Didn't matter what I ate or how much.

Now those ads about joining a gym are starting to look disturbingly... What?

What is it, Sam?

I know about Fairfield, Dad.

I decided not to say anything about it, but... I would really like to hear your

side of what happened.

What do you think happened?

From 1966 to 1968 in Fairfield Laboratories in California, 40 people

basically used as guinea pigs. I wouldn't use that term. In viral

that you supervised.

The 40 people suffered long -term mental degradation, Dad. Not all of them? No,

no, no. Just, uh, what was it?

Just 34 of them.

They volunteered.

They know about the risk factors?

At the time.

It was impossible to predict what the negative effects of the protocol would

Yeah, but you knew there would be negative effects. I mean, you suspected

right? Every precaution that could have been taken was taken to prevent damage

to the test group. And the ultimate result was a breakthrough that benefited

people in every corner of the globe. And unlike those 40 people that put your

name into every major textbook.

That was never the priority, Samantha.

I'm deeply hurt that you thought it was.

The quality of life of millions of people was guaranteed because of that

research.

What about the quality of life of those 34 people?

I won't have you denigrate the success we achieved because of the methodology

used. So they mean that you justify?

Sometimes they do.

You know, my whole life you have been this mythic, distant figure.

I never wanted to be. But in the last few weeks since you moved here, I began

appreciate you as a man who has a passion for trying to understand, to...

Appreciate you as a father.

Now, I don't know.

My life is my life.

Are there things I would have done differently?

Yes, of course.

Is Fairfield one of them?

No.

Sam.

Excuse me. No, that's okay. Come in, Bailey. I have to.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you, but I didn't want you to hear from Donald

in open court.

No, you did the right thing, Bill.

You did the right thing.

Yeah.

I didn't know you and Janet were talking again. Yeah, since Christmas, off and

on. I may be seeing her in a couple of weeks.

We have certain parenting issues to discuss.

How do the girls feel about her getting remarried? One for, one against.

Welcome to my world. Come on in.

Carl Wiley, 30 years old, high school science teacher.

Fourth victim with this type of multiple stab wounds.

First was male, next to female.

All with ashes on the forehead, all killed in the southeast United States.

There's no indication that the victims knew each other. Same, I picked type to

bite. No single wound deep enough to kill, but in the aggregate, pretty

First victim received eight wounds.

Subsequent victims, 22, then 36.

It's taking more time.

Getting better at controlling the victims and his environment.

The pain he inflicts may be a sort of amusement.

He enjoys the act and enjoys it more with each experience.

Gina White, please.

She's at work.

Who is this?

Katie.

Are you her little girl?

I'm 10.

Well, I do apologize.

You have a very pretty voice, just like your mom's.

Is your daddy there?

Just an old friend of your mom.

I'll call back later.

Bye -bye now.

Bye.

All four victims were between 28 and 30.

That smaller chronological window usually means the killer's in the same

range.

We got a registered nurse, owner of a retail computer store.

Those were women.

The other male was a violinist with the Charleston Symphony.

There appears to be no commonality, but we're checking.

Were any of the victims Catholic?

Only the violinist.

Maybe the killer was Catholic.

Probably he's using me after a line of repentance.

Go forth and sin no more. Heard that every Ash Wednesday.

But what kind of sin?

They had no criminal records. They were all pillars of the community.

Well, the killer certainly thinks they're guilty of something.

73 stab wounds.

My God.

Can you tell if he was conscious throughout the entire ordeal?

No.

But the tox report shows that the other victims had not been drugged So we're

just gonna have to wait for the test on this guy.

He's gonna have a struggle So he's able to inflict unspeakable pain And I

drugged it out down with theirs We could have gone into fairly immediate shock

Hi You find anything about this guy he went through life without casting much

a shadow Even the teachers he worked with over the past two years had nothing

say

So this guy was a complete loner.

We can't find any background at all.

There is one possibility.

His mother.

But I don't know what we're going to get out of her.

Why? Were they estranged?

You could put it that way.

That's why they were very sorry for your loss.

We won't take too much of your time, ma 'am.

Oh, well, that's good.

Because I'm late for my meeting with the mayor.

What can you tell us about Carl?

I did the best I could for him.

You know, raised him all by myself.

I did the best I could.

Was it my fault that I'm always working for idiots?

Perverts?

Always trying to hit on me?

What about his friends?

He had a lot of friends.

You know, they used to crash at my pad all the time.

They were good kids.

Well, most of them were good kids.

Except Rodney.

He took my lawnmower, said he was going to go fix it, and then I never thought

again. Suddenly he's riding around on this brand -new bike.

Sold it.

He sold it.

That bastard they should have drafted.

When was the last time you sold it? They should have drafted that bastard.

Mrs. Wiley.

Mrs. Welling, when was the last time you saw your son?

A long time.

Mrs. Welling, your son did very well.

He was a high school science teacher.

Everyone seemed to really like him.

Did he have a beard?

Yes, he did.

He always wanted to grow a beard.

Draft crashing at her pad.

It's like her development was permanently arrested in 1968.

Probably dropped so much acid, we're lucky she remembered Carl at all.

Smith Waters.

Uh, no, please take a message and tell him I'll get back to him.

Yeah.

All right, thank you.

Your father?

Yeah.

What are you going to do? You have to call to him sooner or later.

He may have spent time with his victims, at least for the first one.

James Keeler, killed six months ago, unmarried, lived alone.

Look at the coffee table.

Less of beer?

Yeah, but there are two coasters. Now, why would you need two coasters if

alone? One of them could have been left over from the day before.

No, no. According to his friends, James was a bit of a neat freak. Now, what if

it's part of the killer's plan to get to know his victims? I mean, maybe he's

very social. He knows how to appeal to them, get them off their guard, get them

to trust him.

Hi, Gina.

This is Josh McNeil. Who?

Josh McNeil from the radio club at Edgemont High.

Sorry, I don't remember you.

Oh, I understand.

I was a year behind you, but I always loved listening to your show on the PA.

You know, your voice hasn't changed a bit.

It hasn't? No, I'd recognize it anywhere.

I'm the general manager at WTFE in Dayton.

Really? You know, it's a shame you never pursued the on -air thing.

The opportunities for women in radio today are just outstanding.

Is that so?

I'm just in town for the night, and I was hoping that we could get together.

Tonight? Well, I'll be at the Fremont at nine.

I don't know if I can get a sitter.

You know, you still found sweet and seductive at the same time.

It's a perfect drive time, boys.

You really think so?

Trust me, would I lie to you?

To Fremont, nine o 'clock?

Sounds good.

I'll see you there.

Bye -bye now.

Malone. Mr. Anderson is here to see you. Send him in.

Welcome.

Thank you for seeing me.

I feel strange coming to you like this.

Please.

I'm trying to be part of my daughter's life again.

It's not easy.

And the timing of this revelation, I've made my share of mistakes, but I

revere human life.

I had a difficult decision to face 30 years ago.

I suspect that my age and my ambition helped make the choice too easy.

Having an ego is not a sin.

But when we misrepresent ourselves to our children, then... How did I do that?

By not telling a six -year -old something she couldn't possibly

Did you tell your family every time one of your monsters got away?

No.

But whether I told them or not, they knew.

For better or for worse, our children look up to us.

They see us for who we are, flaws and all.

Doesn't matter if they're six or sixty.

We're never two. all to break their hearts.

So, what do I do?

I can't make her forgive me.

Let her come to you.

What if she never does?

Then everyone loses.

Here's something that might help.

All three victims share a blood condition called thalassemia minor.

The red blood cells are disc -shaped instead of round.

Could the victims be related?

It's hereditary through the male line, yeah.

Carl Wiley was raised by a single mom.

No father figure.

A distorted self -image can sometimes be found in children who have been raised

without a father.

Grace, do you think it's possible that the victims share the same father?

Oh, I won't know until I get the DNA results back, and that's going to take a

while. I'm also going to need a baseline tissue sample to compare it to.

Well, maybe Amber Wiley can tell me who Carl's father is. Thanks, Grace.

Yeah, well, that would make my job a lot easier.

Not that we want to start making a habit out of that.

Oh, don't tell me you don't recognize me.

Josh?

You look great.

Thank you.

You sounded so familiar over the phone, I thought you were someone else.

Well, you're not disappointed, are you? No.

Can I get a draft beer and another one of these for the lady? Sure.

Yeah, I bet you never knew that I had a real thing for you in high school.

Well, the good news is now we have a chance to make up for lost time.

So, general manager of WTSC, that's pretty impressive.

Well, what can I say? I caught a few breaks.

Thank you.

So, who were your friends in high school?

Did you date anyone?

No one in particular.

I didn't go to high school with you.

Sure you did.

Class of 86.

No, I've never seen you before in my life.

Look, I don't know what kind of sick game you're playing here. Hey. Let go of

me. Hey. Let go.

Hey, you heard her.

Let her go.

Oh, yeah? What's it to you?

You're scaring her now.

Thank you. I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be.

I mean, this guy calls me up out of the blue and starts dropping names.

Thank you. Like we knew each other from high school.

I'm usually a lot more careful.

The world is full of scary people.

Would you like me to walk you to your car?

Well,

I've got the babysitter for a few more hours.

Let me get cleaned up, and how about if I buy you a drink?

Carl's father.

Back then, man, it was the 60s.

You know, summer of love.

Who cared, right?

It was the best of times.

It was the worst of times.

Am I in trouble?

We have reason to believe that all of the victims shared the same father.

Uh, I wasn't exactly...

Selective. Mrs. Riley, do you know who his father is?

Your son was murdered by a serial killer.

Without your cooperation, more people will die.

That's not possible. It couldn't be him.

He's still inside now.

Who? All those crazy pictures of C .J. in the paper afterwards.

C .J.?

17, man.

I didn't know anything.

He knew everything.

The whole world was doing it, right?

It was going to be a revolution.

I didn't know anything about his purpose.

CJ, Christopher Joe Baldwin.

He was...

Everybody's old man.

He was... God.

And we were all his wives.

Most of us didn't even go on the killing trips, man, just...

A few that were handpicked by C .J.

We were just his pleasures.

Can't get rid of it.

So someone's killing the children of C .J. Allman.

This whole thing can be about revenge.

And I got married.

Right out of high school.

Mistake.

I had Katie.

Best thing I ever did.

But I have to say that whenever I turn on the radio, I just... That

should be you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you have to be practical in this life, right?

Sure, if you want to see it pass you by.

Like, it's never too late, Gina.

You can be anything that you want to be.

I'm in computer software.

But after hearing you, I can tell you have the voice.

Personality explodes from you. That's what an audience wants.

You have what men want to hear late at night or wake up to early in the

morning.

I feel selfish being the only man who can hear you now.

It's funny, but I feel so connected to

you.

No, no, not in a new way connected, but like we share

something very special.

Maybe we do.

If he is avenging the death of a loved one, he may feel obligated to tell them

who he is and why he's doing what he's doing.

The Allman farm was eventually tied to 12 murders during the late 60s.

Allman preached free love and anarchy, but in reality he was using sex and

to condition his followers, mostly women. He called them his chickies, and

killed for him without question. I just bet they did.

His chickies used hot sewing needles to carve the circles in their foreheads.

Yeah, well, the killer is also putting ashes in the same place as a reminder of

their sin instead of being born.

Original sin.

So why did he start killing six months ago? It's been, what, 30 years since the

farm? Well, if he did lose a parent or a sibling when he was a child, when he

found out who was responsible, it may have triggered him.

Where are we on the list of relatives of olden victims?

Still working on it, but, I mean, where do we stop?

Immediate family, cousins, second cousin. We don't stop. Just keep going.

Do any of them stick out?

Anyone with a history of violence or mental illness.

Are there multiple victims in any one family?

Yeah.

Six families suffered more than one loss.

This concentration of kills is limited to the southeast.

Focus off search on families that live in this area.

Why is he only coming here?

Someone's had too much to drink.

So what are you going to do about it?

Don't do that.

Oh, come on. Take the kiss.

I said don't.

I thought we were connected.

You are not worthy.

I am the one who found you. You came to me. I told you I was Yash,

and you did exactly as I said.

That other guy's some idiot that I hired.

Who are you?

The dream is a lie.

The dream is alive.

Okay. That's it.

I don't care if I ever meet a man.

At least he's calling.

When Janet and I were married six years, she had an affair.

It lasted a couple of months.

I opened one of her letters by mistake.

She ended it the next day.

But I never let her forget it.

I'd find ways to remind her.

I punished her for years, never considering my...

On culpability.

The 80 -hour weeks, how I left it to raise the girls alone.

You have a tough job, baby.

She asked for forgiveness.

Instead, I made her beg for it, day in, day out.

You feel the decision your father made 30 years ago was wrong.

You could deny yourself and him a relationship because of it.

Hold him up to some arbitrary higher standard because of who he is.

It's not fair.

But that's the deal.

Did you ever forgive her?

A little too late.

Priority one is identifying Allman's remaining children.

Notify them that they could be in serious trouble. Talk to me, Georgie.

I don't have much to say.

I mean, we're talking the 60s here.

The dropout generation. People did not exactly believe in paying Social

taxes. The killer was able to find him. Yeah, that's because he's had a lot

longer to look.

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

Allman is more popular than ever. I've counted six websites, a dozen fan clubs,

rap artists recording his manifesto. Well, the phone was in Baylor County.

must be some birth records.

Maybe we should go to the South.

Mr. Allman, my name is Samantha Waters. I'm with the FBI.

I know who you are.

Then you know why I've come.

Ready cat, ready cat.

Nodding around the cat trap.

He's got a piece of cheese, but I'm not coming out.

Mr. Allman, someone is killing your children.

Oh, I love the children.

Then help me.

I need the names of the mothers, all the women that you may have slept with. The

chickies.

The little chickies.

Laying broken eggs.

Mr. Allman, unless you help me, you and everything you represent will die.

I want the killing to stop.

Why?

Death is beautiful.

It's a dream.

No different from life, right?

I'm sorry I don't share that belief.

Irrelevant.

The light is all around you, baby.

But you don't see it, do you?

You need to get clear, chicky.

Mr. Allman, without those names.

Names.

I have had hundreds of names.

Kim Jones, Koresh, Heaven's Gate. Hey, these are facets. These are

I am in every man.

All man.

Then why don't you know who's killing your children?

You bitch. You speak to me of knowledge when you are flying blind.

Listen, it is all coming down. It is all coming down fast.

It's here, but you won't see it.

My throne will be on the highest parapet. My slaves will be legion. You

them. You will serve me with monkey meat and kumquats and berries.

I will burn.

your paper cities with my mind.

You okay?

His eyes were like looking into a black hole.

Lucas is the only person I know with eyes that dead.

Malone. Bailey, it's me. I found birth records for eight children attended by

midwives at C .J. Ullman's farm. Now, five were victims of our killer. One

in a plane crash in 91.

What are the names of the other two?

Toby Watson and Vern Harper. I'm still looking for a viable address on Harper.

Last known for Watson is in Marietta, where he lived with his adoptive

Thanks, George.

Mr. and Mrs. Watson, it's urgent that we make contact with your son, Toby.

It's been three years since we've seen him.

He may be in some danger that has to do with his birth parents.

Did you ever have contact with Toby's mother?

She died when he was six months old.

Dr. We think that Toby's biological father may be E .J. Allman.

The killer?

Yes. We knew something was wrong.

Almost from the moment we brought him home.

In one minute, he could be the most charming, the sweetest.

And a look would come over him.

Something in his eyes.

He wouldn't be the same boy.

Our two daughters are adopted.

One's a doctor.

The other's a graphic artist.

We gave him the same upbringing as we did the girl.

Same opportunities, education, love.

The accident?

What accident?

When he was 14, Toby was playing on that balcony with a friend of his.

A friend fell and was killed.

I never did get the sense from Toby that it really was an accident or that he

was sorry.

It's him.

Not only is Toby Watson one of Allman's children, he's killing off all the

others. He's killing off pieces of himself.

Yeah, classic self -directed rage.

Bailey, I found an address and phone number for Vern Harper.

Hello? Mr. Vern Harper?

Yes. This is Special Agent Bailey Malone of the FBI.

The FBI?

What is it? What's wrong?

I need you to leave your house immediately and go to the nearest police

I'll give you our number. I want you to call as soon as you get there.

Am I in some kind of danger?

Please, sir, just do what I'm asking.

I am. I am in danger. That's what you're telling me.

Mr. Harper, I don't want you to panic. Try and stay calm.

He's after me.

Someone's breaking into the house. Mr. Harper.

Who is it?

It's the FBI.

FBI?

Hello?

Is this Verna? Yeah.

Who's the man with you?

His name's Toby Watson.

Listen to me, Verna. You have to get out of there.

I live here. Come up with any excuse you can, then get in your car and get the

hell out. What do you mean, get out of here?

Who is this?

Oh, my God! Get them over there. Oh, my God!

He's playing with us.

Relating to the fact that he's running.

If he's killed off all his targets, he's won.

Let's go to the attack team.

Spoke to multi -PD. They've canvassed the area surrounding Harper's building.

Put up roadblocks.

Told he's in the wind.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God, no!

Wait, you're still going to do it?

What?

Death is beautiful.

Toby must have been, too, when Allman went to prison. I doubt that he ever met

him in person, but the other day when I visited Allman, he said the exact same

thing. Death is beautiful.

It is a distorted self -image.

Toby's become his father.

Nature over nurture.

He was genetically programmed to follow his father's path.

Yeah, but he hasn't. He's been eliminating his father's mistakes,

world of them. That's why he uses the ashes. And there is one difference

Allman and Toby, though.

Elman had the power to persuade other people to do his killing for him.

Maybe in his mind, he thinks that makes him the better man.

Maybe all this was about proving that to his father.

There is one murder that C .J. Elman committed.

He killed his adoptive parents.

Well, I don't know what made me think to defrost a roast this morning. We never

have it except on special occasions.

Well, it certainly turned out to be a special occasion.

It's my favorite.

It must be a mom thing.

I can't get through. Line is dead.

Who's their service in the area? Service in the area is fine. It's just their

house. Call Mary to PD and get them to the house.

What's wrong with the phone? I'm trying to make the call.

I don't know. It worked before.

Six months ago, I found out something very interesting.

I found out who my father was.

Why didn't you tell me?

Oh, we didn't know ourselves.

Until today, we didn't know. The FBI people told us.

They said you could be in danger.

Don't worry about me.

Darling, we...

We always loved you. But you knew that I was different.

Why didn't you give me back?

Mmm, that sure smells good.

I'm hungry.

So am I.

The rolls are done. Oh, I'll get them.

I better give him a hand.

There's someone in the dining room Check

it out

Is

there

a problem

He got the phone lines because he knew we were going to call?

Is that part of his thing?

He's been killing for six months.

Knows he's looking at the electric chair and he just sits here.

Waiting on us.

Mrs. Watson, we just threatened you.

No.

We were just about to sit down to dinner when you came in.

He never threatened you in any way? He's our son.

I'll make every resource we have available to him. Lawyers, whatever it

We chose to raise him.

He'll always be our son.

Why would Toby want to be caught? To punish himself.

Penance.

Go forth and sin no more.

Let's throw this one out there.

Samantha. Dad.

I'm sorry it's so early.

It's all right. I fell asleep at my computer.

I used to be able to go all night, but I guess I'm getting old.

Come in, I'll make some coffee. No, I have to go.

Come in. No, Dad, I... I do want you in my life.

There were too many years when you weren't, and... I want that too, Sam.

I guess I just don't know what I expect. You know, I mean, I... I have so many

expectations of so many people in my life. I mean, even myself, and I... I

that there are expectations that can never possibly be met, but I'm...

But I do want something Tell me when you're ready

Do we know where Toby Watson's at?

I don't know.

How were they sent Toby Watson after his arrest?

The prosecutors asked for it?

Thanks, Al.

Georgia State Psychiatric Center. He was sent there for evaluation at his

attorney's request.

That's why he only killed in this area.

He wanted to be sent there.

I read your book.

Would you sign it?

No,

they don't. Dad.
