Original subtitles

Ha, ha, ha.

How much?

Ten pesos.

It's very nice, isn't it?

Thank you. You're welcome.

no no no no no no

The bodies of nine women have been found in the desert outside Las Brisas.

None of them have been identified. Their remains have all been destroyed by the

elements. Well, she couldn't have done this.

Who did?

Someone who has access to police photos.

Someone who knows about us.

The newspaper articles indicate that a lot of the victims work for Lofton

Industries. It's an American company.

On the Mexican side?

Look, Bailey.

The families of 15 missing women are begging for answers and their police

just keeps telling them that these acts are random.

These women are being preyed upon.

According to the State Department, we'd have to contact our legal attache in

Mexico. So let's contact him.

The chances of our being invited to investigate aren't very good.

We've been invited.

Sam, Donald Lucas' trial is about to start.

The most important trial of your life is on the line.

Donald Lucas is in custody.

He can't hurt anyone else.

This guy can.

Give me your legal etiquette, Mexico.

Who found her?

What

kind

of idiot

walks at night in the desert?

And who invited her? It wasn't me.

No, gracias.

Donald Lucas is guilty. How can you expect me to make a deal? I don't expect

you. I mean, the trial starts in an hour, Paul. Every circumstantial case,

there's an element of risk. All I'm saying is the defense may be open to a

negotiation. Look, it's still going to result in years behind bars, and it may

be the best we can get. No, it's not enough.

Look, going for murder one may be emotionally satisfying. I like the

okay? If you make this an all -or -nothing deal, he could walk.

So what if we call it murder two, or guilt by reason of insanity?

Is all this more important than seeing him sent to prison?

Both want the same thing, Sam.

When you entered the home of Dr. Dexter Nelson, what did you discover?

Dr. Nelson was found strapped to a dining room table.

Two incisions had been made in his lower back and his kidneys had been removed.

It was as if he'd been operated on.

And what was the relationship between Agent Waters and Dr. Nelson?

He was the physician who delivered Samantha Waters.

Did the killer leave anything behind at the scene?

Yes. A note written to Sam, viewable only beneath a blacklight. A technique

which later became a signature of Jack of all trades.

Were there notes left at other crime scenes addressed to Samantha Waters?

Following the murder of Dr. Nelson, there were notes left at each subsequent

murder. Many of whom were people from Sam's childhood.

It's as if his intention...

was to eliminate her past.

Objection, Your Honor. Conjecture. And in May of 1993,

who else was added to his list of victims?

Tom Waters, her husband.

I have no further questions.

Is there a handwriting analysis under these notes?

It was concluded that they were all written by the same person. Did the

defendant submit a sample of his handwriting?

Yes. Did it match?

The results were inconclusive.

Inconclusive. And once the defendant was in custody, did the blacklight notes

stop? They did. Did the killing stop?

They did.

Philip Menzies, Norm Abbott, Ted Scowron of Otis, California. Three victims that

were killed by Dwight Parnell.

A disciple of Donald Lucas.

A disciple.

How do you know?

He left the Red Rose at the crime scenes.

Wasn't that a signature of Jack of all trades?

Yes.

And where is Dwight Parnell today?

He was killed attacking Dr. Waters in an act of justifiable homicide.

Killed by whom?

By Agent George Fraley.

So, an agent for the BCTF killed someone who may actually have been the real

Jack of all trades.

Objection. Speculation.

Agent Malone has detailed the relationship between the defendant and

Parnell, a relationship which prosecution will corroborate through the

of Sheriff Edwin Bost of Otis, California.

I'll sustain the objection.

Mr. Marshall?

I have no further questions of this witness at this time, Your Honor.

Very well.

This court will break for a noon recess.

It won't be long now, Sam.

They'll all know the truth.

The truth about us all.

People have been disappearing in that stretch of desert for 300 years. It

exactly a safe place to be, especially at night.

Well, these women didn't disappear, Sheriff Tillman. They were murdered.

We're establishing a base of operations at the motel.

I guess it's set up at the border end, just up the highway.

decent coffee shop, American TV, phones, water.

Not that sludge they drink over there.

No offense.

I'm Cuban.

We'd like your missing persons files going back to the beginning of the year.

We don't have any missing persons.

So how'd this situation come to your attention?

It was mailed to me anonymously.

Well, these are police photos.

Now, did you talk to the law on their side?

Not yet.

Do you know the chief of police of Las Prisas?

Yeah. Miguel Vila Lobos. More politician than lawman, is my impression.

Dresses better than any cop I've ever known.

Present company excluded.

You ever run in with this guy or something?

I know who he is, but I don't know him.

Let's just say I do what I can to keep their problems on their side.

Good fences make good neighbors.

The bites are consistent with wolves and coyotes, and the tears are probably

vultures. I'd say she's between 18 and 20 years of age, dead about 36 hours.

Retinal petechiae and bruises are consistent with manual strangulation.

I don't know yet if there's a pattern.

Doesn't look like anyone's ever examined them. Not much left to examine by the

time we find them.

She was wearing this?

It was pinned to her blouse.

What about the other victims? Did they have similar jewelry?

Earrings, maybe. A necklace, it varied.

A costume?

I'd like to see the rest of that, if I could.

I'll have to ask Villalobos.

He could have given them these to distract them so they wouldn't put up

struggle. We don't know if they struggled or not.

Lieutenant, I was sent this packet with newspaper articles, photographs, all

about the murders. Do you have any idea who would have sent them? No.

What about...

Do you recognize this little girl?

I think that her mother could be one of the victims.

I'm sorry I don't know all the children in town.

Well, I'd like to see your files.

I'll get you what we've got.

Is it me?

Or does she seem a little blasé about everything?

Grace, can you determine if there's any sexual trauma? Yeah. A couple hours.

Okay, great.

These girls come from villages all over the

desert looking for work.

They come into town, see the city for the first time, dancing, drinking.

They look for a way to mix business and pleasure.

Prostitution. I do what I can to keep it down, but people have to feed their

babies. It says here that a lot of the victims worked at the factory.

Unsubstantiated report.

I don't even have IDs on these girls. No leads from your interviews with Lofton

employees? The factory has a large turnover.

The workers show up whenever they feel like it.

They're not very reliable.

So there were no interviews conducted at all?

The more people you talk to, the more they panic.

It's very hard to investigate.

Well, with all due respect, it doesn't seem like there's very much of an

investigation going on.

We do the best we can.

We'd like to go back over your reports. Help establish a volunteer program to

escort women who travel the desert at night.

Whatever is ours is theirs.

I would also like to go out to where the latest victim was found.

Don't forget your sunblock.

Great. Thank you.

The yellows?

J .D.

They were just here.

What are we going to do?

Nothing. Just go along with it and get rid of them as soon as possible.

Federal agents don't scare so easy.

Our friend isn't going to like this.

Most of the bodies were found between here and the river, maybe 15 miles.

You killed and controlled them.

Samantha Waters. Got definite signs of sexual activity shortly before death.

say within six hours.

How definite?

Definite enough to send a DNA sample to the lab.

The other victims are so far gone, we'll never be able to tell.

All right, yeah, thanks.

He may have had sex with the victims before he killed them.

Does that surprise you?

Yeah, it does.

Sexual predators usually don't give their victims gifts.

How soon can I get the rest of the jewelry?

It's missing from lockup.

Look, somebody in the department must have had access to that jewelry.

It wasn't stolen.

Lieutenant, do you have any idea where it could be?

No, I don't.

Look, you know, if you're not comfortable talking to me here, we can

Ferguson. I don't go into Ferguson.

You people will be here for a short time. Maybe you'll find the killer,

you won't.

Either way, you'll leave with a clear conscience than when you came.

Yeah, but isn't that what this is about, living here unafraid?

Lieutenant, it was the girl in the picture. And she was wearing a white

and white tennis shoes.

Yes, I know how many little girls here wear white dresses, but... Yes, across

the street from the market.

Okay.

Yeah, thank you, Lieutenant.

Maybe Marge doesn't want to go behind her boss's back.

I haven't asked her to.

I think she's afraid of him. I mean, she's afraid of something.

Well, Sam, she's the only woman on the force.

which makes her an island in the sea of machismo.

Victim number 10. And there are 16 missing persons reports on file. You can

half of those out of the running because of gender and age.

And I'm still going to need those dental records to confirm IDs, assuming there

are records.

Maybe if I got my hands on some modeling clay, I could give him faces.

Victims were all poor, young.

He may have used these to lure them in.

Although I still get the feeling that he wants to dominate them, you know, like

a lord over their lives.

I think of everybody who works here as a member of the family.

Your family consists mostly of females between 18 and 35.

Why is that, Mr. Lofton?

Women are more reliable.

They have children to take care of, and they take that responsibility very

seriously.

How much do you pay them?

A lot less than if we were on the other side of the border, but about three

times what they were making before I got here. At least now they can support

their children.

What about unionization?

We get a troublemaker every now and then, but he's usually shouted down by

others, afraid everybody's job will disappear.

To the extent of murder?

Not very likely.

Unionization is not in their blood.

These people care about food and clothing and trying to keep a roof over

head. So who has time to file a lawsuit?

No wonder you decided to pick up stakes and move down here.

I don't really give a damn about the lawsuits.

Nothing but a bunch of lazy opportunists trying to take advantage of my friendly

disposition. I just got so sick and tired of everything I do and say being

scrutinized by lawyers.

Down here, they're grateful for the opportunity to work. Now that's what I

a refreshing concept.

I thought it was called shooting fish in a barrel.

Your factory operates around the clock.

The murders were all committed between midnight and 2 a .m. Would you consider

shutting down nighttime operations until we find the killer?

If the women didn't have to be out at those hours... I provide lighted parking

areas for those who have cars. Those who don't, I bus back and forth to town at

my expense.

I cannot compete globally if I can't operate 24 hours a day.

The killer could be someone who is in a position of authority who views his

victims as subservient, as if they were his children. Or he could be at the

bottom of the power structure and really wants to dominate those people who are

weaker than he is.

Lofton said he liked to think of his work as his family. He sees his role in

their lives as more than just an employer, but as someone who takes care

them. James Lofton, man's worth of fortune.

Money doesn't always eliminate suspicion, Sheriff Tolman.

I know, but I just can't see a man in his position venturing out in the desert

in his custom -made suits to kill those girls.

Where are we on the DNA?

Waiting.

You got a DNA sample from the body?

It's off to the lab.

Let's say that the killer is in a position of prominence.

Having sex with these women is their death sentence.

He doesn't want to run the risk of being exposed or blackmailed.

Play, you pay.

Thank you.

Real civic -minded of you warning the ladies like this.

It was Padilla's idea. I let him run with it.

How much does Martin know?

Nothing.

Even if she did, she's smart enough to keep her mouth shut.

That's good, because the DNA they got off that girl was sent to their FBI lab

Washington.

She one of Lofton's honeys?

How should I know?

I was under the impression you knew everything on your side.

He's your countryman.

But it's your country.

Hey, would you lighten up? It's getting so you can't take a damn joke anymore.

I mean, you're not the one killing him, are you?

Maybe I should talk to Loftin about this DNA business.

He's got friends.

I don't really care whether he's doing these girls or not. I'm just not

to see him caught.

I don't relish the idea of having to live on my paycheck.

All these Romans.

For a year, no one's cared.

Yeah, if this had happened in Buckhead, Scarsdale, or Beverly Hills, they would

have called out the National Guard by now.

It's not about morality. It's about geography.

Same all over.

No one ever said life was fair.

No one ever said that it was.

When do you leave?

It's an hour.

Sheriff Boast is on a stand.

Why do they need you to hear his testimony?

Well, Paul's a little worried about cross -examination.

He wants me there to consult on redirect if need be.

I'll be back tonight.

Is that your son?

He's beautiful. Thank you.

Early child?

Yes.

Have a little girl.

Look, Lieutenant.

Martha.

We'll find whoever we're looking for without involving you.

Sheriff Buss.

Did you have reason to believe that Ted Scowron, Norm Abbott, and Philip Menzies

were killed by Dwight Parnell?

Yes, sir, I did.

And did Dwight Parnell ever communicate with Donald Lucas?

Yes, sir, on a computer owned by the late Philip Menzies.

And had Dwight Parnell ever shown any signs of violence or homicidal

prior to that communication?

Anything but.

The idea of killing disgusted me. him.

He was a good bowler, an environmentalist, and a vegetarian.

Dwight Parnell was morally opposed to eating anything that had a face.

Carry on, Mr. Sterling.

I have no further questions, Your Honor.

Fact is, you have no idea what's on Philip Menzies' computer, do you?

I know that whatever was on it caused Dwight Parnell to kill all those people.

But you do not know what is on it?

No, sir, I don't. And isn't it true that when you first met Dr. Waters, she'd

already decided that there was a link between the defendant and persons in

California? Not to my knowledge.

Didn't she do everything possible to sway the investigation so that it would

satisfy a conclusion she'd already reached? Now, just a darn minute. I will

have you question the integrity of Dr.

Samantha Waters.

She is an ethical, responsible member of the law enforcement community that has

suffered unspeakable tragedy at the hands of this Donald Lucas or Jack of

trades or whatever the hell he's calling himself now. Your Honor, the witness is

unresponsive. The jury will disregard the speech that was volunteered by

Post. Your Honor, he is an obsessive personality, a menace to society.

One more outburst like that and I'll place your tush in contempt.

The jury will disregard.

We'll take a recess of one hour, during which time, Mr. Sterling, I suggest you

get control of your witness.

Don't worry, Dr. Waters.

The judge tells the jury to disregard all the time, but they never do.

Maybe you'll come back to Otis and visit sometime.

Maybe I will.

It's all gonna go just fine.

She's been dead about 12 hours.

That puts the last two attacks within a few days of each other.

Do you have a timeline on the others to develop a pattern of attacks?

We're not dealing with the carbon dating of T -Rexes. These are people.

Even the oldest of skeletons have to be guessed at visually.

Any sexual component?

Not only didn't she have sex prior to death, she's a virgin.

Sam lands in an hour.

Well, I'm not going anywhere.

Somebody left DNA on that girl they found the other day.

Well, it wasn't me.

If our relationship is not going to be based on trust... Our relationship is

based on that overstuffed envelope you get every week.

You get your money's worth.

Any complaints?

Why are you telling me this?

The FBI thinks you killed those girls.

What?

Who told you that? Tallman?

Hey! Don't play cutesy with me.

You're in this as deep as I am.

Maybe. But I like my odds a lot better.

I could arrest someone.

What'll that cost me, huh?

Whatever I decide is worth.

So you bring him in. Ah, yes, good news. You can go home now. We have the man

responsible for these crimes.

His name is Ernesto Garcia.

He looks half dead.

Unfortunately, he resisted the attempts of our officers to take him into

custody.

How do you know he's responsible?

He's got guilt written all over his face.

For a year, Villalobos has no case.

Two days after we arrive, he produces a suspect.

He's a pretty good candidate.

Six drunken disorderlies, assault.

Did a year for almost choking a prostitute to death. He's perfect.

Too perfect.

Villalobos is pretending someone.

Loft him?

It's even money.

He feels the need to dominate.

Probably because he's been dominated in his life, victimized.

Maybe not physically, but emotionally.

He can feel diminished with women.

Lawson's married, Groffi, from what I hear.

The suspect has been married three times.

Grace said that the last victim was a virgin.

One he had sex with, one he didn't.

That's if we're assuming that the man who left the sample is the killer.

Maybe the sex was convenient.

It was just about the killing.

Yeah, but then why would he leave the jewelry?

Maybe there's some sort of sexual dysfunction stemming from his being

or humiliated.

Still don't know who sent you the package.

Lieutenant.

Ernesto Garcia, the suspect in custody is innocent.

How do you know?

At the time of her death, I was questioning him on the other side of

Have you told Villalobos?

No.

Ernesto has a son in Juarez.

The money I give him in exchange for information he sends to his boy.

I mail it to him myself.

Who is Villalobos protecting?

Lofton, maybe.

Members of Los Desmandados.

The gang in town run by Raul Ortiz.

Who's Ortiz?

Local dealer.

Recruits young women into prostitution.

The ones he can't recruit, he extorts for money in exchange for a job at the

factory. One -stop misogyny. Is there any way of clearing Ernesto without

involving you?

There's a bar on the east end of town.

Ocho Caballos. A man named Valdez owns the place.

He saw us there.

John.

When Villalobos questions Ernesto, he is not a strong man. He'll break.

We'll have nothing.

I couldn't keep quiet any longer. You know, we can protect you.

I'll be fine.

State Department.

They want to talk to me for a thing in the morning.

No one will know that you've been here.

Tell me.

You did it.

Come on, bastard, tell me. Please, stop.

Oh, my God, stop.

I'll stop when you tell me what I want to know.

It wasn't me.

I swear to you. I swear to you.

You're a man, huh?

I'll give you more. No, how much more?

Do you want to kill him or talk?

I want you to shut up and do what I say.

You want me to back off?

They have a credible suspect. They have a drunk whose standard of living goes up

in prison. Agent Malone.

The Mexican government is perfectly capable of handling its own police

We're there by special arrangement of the Attorney General of Mexico. A

that expires the miniature action surpassed the scope of that invitation.

Which is when? The minute we start to suspect the largest employer of Mexican

labor of murder?

James Lofton is a pioneer.

He operates a dozen American concerns in full compliance with NAFTA trade

agreements. He's a potential killer, hiding behind two decades of hard

legislation. in order to exploit and possibly murder a dozen women. You are a

guest, Agent Malone.

You're there to observe.

And what I observe is that no one seems to give a damn about those women.

And I'm beginning to understand why.

To assume the Mexican government is corrupt and therefore incapable of

its own investigation is not only arrogant, it is racist.

I will not let you misrepresent the American people if I have to assert my

authority of the State Department over you.

Meaning what?

You know perfectly well what I mean.

Are you ordering us to leave Mexico?

I'm asking you to consider the best interest of everyone.

Well, consider this.

We're not leaving until we get the results of their DNA.

If it matches his suspect, we're out of there.

If not...

What do you mean

the DNA never got there?

Yeah, okay.

I'll get back to you.

For 14 years, I've never had DNA vanish.

That made it to D .C. fine.

Well, let me guess.

Pilot handed it over to an agent from the State Department.

No one will remember his name. I'll get his name. I've still got a few markers

on the hill.

Yeah, well, before you cash him in, I have another sample.

Gracie, you're beautiful.

Yeah, I know.

Laughlin's the only one around here with that kind of clout. Yeah, but it

doesn't prove that he's a killer. He could have arranged for the sample to be

lost. He could take himself from a sexual scandal.

Here you go. I'll make sure this doesn't vanish. I'll have one of our people

hand deliver it to the lab in D .C.

It still only proves that he had sex with one of the victims, really, and it

could have been consensual.

If it is Lofton's DNA, I want to know why the State Department's trying to

protect that son of a bitch.

You're going to earn $50 a week working in the factory.

That's a lot of money.

But of course, there are going to be

deductions.

Wait.

20 for me, for the job.

How much?

I'm going to keep my family with 30 children.

And how are you going to keep it without anything?

I can get up to 50 girls. They do what I do, but I hate work.

Well, tell me. Do you want the job or not?

I'll have the results of the DNA within 24 hours.

Lois Thatcher's good about the turnaround.

No, George, you're going to be fine.

Yeah. All right, I'll see you tomorrow.

He's nervous about testifying.

Paul's been grilling him.

It's not Paul he has to win.

What am I looking at? The spot where I've been banging my head against the

for the last two hours.

I couldn't get anybody to confirm Marta's alibi for the suspect.

The guy who runs the saloon, who said he saw them?

All of a sudden, he's tied as a clam.

Well, Marta wouldn't have risked coming to us if she was lying. She's got too

much to lose.

The suspect won't be able to hold out much longer.

Villalobos will have his confession and we'll have no grounds to say.

Maybe this isn't just about emotional diminishment. Maybe it's about

He's certainly causing plenty of it.

Well, he gives them trinkets, tokens of his love. I mean, maybe that's what he

wants in return. Not necessarily sex, but something more emotional, something

romantic.

Someone ought to tell this guy that women like to be wined and dined.

Well, whether he just wanted romance or if he's sexually dysfunctional, how do

you explain the DNA on the victim?

Maybe there were two men. I mean,

I don't know. I mean, the evidence is compromised. We have no background on

victims. We don't even know who the victims are.

We only have one element, Sam. You're still our strongest thought.

I'll be right back.

She went to the ladies' room an hour ago. She's gone.

Maybe she went for a walk in the desert.

A United States federal agent is missing, possibly abducted. I want a

deployed in every man in your department on it. I can't. It's Friday night. I

don't care if it's Palm Sunday.

If I have to, I'll call the attorney general.

Well, you can try.

Look, we're here to help solve a series of vicious crimes affecting your people.

A joint effort between both our countries. You're here because you're

about how an American company is going to look when the story breaks out about

dead Mexican workers.

You think we only exist to search for the almighty buck.

Now's your chance to prove it.

If an American's responsible for what's going on here, no one wants to know his

ass more than I do.

Still no word?

Contact Tallman. Get every available officer on the U .S. side over here as

quickly as possible. You're overstepping your... My boundaries extend as far as

I say they do, the minute she disappears.

Padilla.

This is para Gracia.

Gracias.

There's a monster in this town, Agent Waters.

Some people say that it's you.

No.

Look, abducting me is not going to help your case any.

I had no choice.

The investigation is going nowhere.

You've been following the investigation?

Very closely.

Why?

I'm the one who brought you here.

In the envelope were six pictures from the police department and four articles

from the newspaper, all with dates written in pencil in the upper right

How did you get the photographs?

I'm resourceful.

What about the little girl?

She's my niece.

I believe the man you're looking for killed my sister.

Thank you for helping us.

What's your name?

Consuela.

Consuela. Mucho gusto, Consuela.

My sister disappeared nine months ago.

One of the first.

The man Villalobos had in custody, this Garcia, he's nothing.

Only now.

There are files in his office.

Locked in his office. You need them before Garcia confesses and the books

closed. How do we get them?

You need to be resourceful.

And now, you can go.

Just like that?

Yeah, he dropped me off at the border checkpoint.

You believe him?

Yeah, I think I do.

Someone in the last priestess department must be on the pad.

That's got to be how he got those pictures in the first place.

Martha? She would have told me by now.

Those files have got to be in a more secure place or he'd have used the same

source.

Ernesto Garcia confessed to the murders.

He'll be hanged for them.

Get me Dennis Gilmore at the State Department field office.

Letting him escape is not the answer. And even if we assume legal custody,

confessed. He'll still have to stand trial.

Our only hope is if we find the killer before that happens. How are you going

do that?

Villalobos has the Attorney General's ear. He controls whether you stay or go.

Well, Ortiz told me about a file that your boss has locked in his office, all

about the murders. Now, I just need ten minutes alone in that room. No, it's too

dangerous. If he's withholding information, there has to be a reason.

I'll do it.

No. He'll kill you. And he won't kill you?

Then we'll do it together.

Your

call

was a pleasant surprise.

You know, your boss was very worried over your disappearance.

We look after each other.

I can see why he looks after you.

So, what can I do for you besides buy you a drink?

I want you to let us stay.

The suspect has already confessed.

Yes, but we both know he didn't do it.

He didn't fit your profile. That doesn't mean he didn't do it.

In a few weeks when the killing resumes, how will you explain it?

That's the beautiful thing about my job, Dr. Waters.

I don't have to explain.

Ask me anything you want. I have nothing to hide.

Hmm.

So, you think that I've got the wrong man.

You tell me.

Who killed these women?

Well, in order to tell you that, I need more time.

Who fits your profile?

Loftin, Ortiz.

Ortiz is a slippery bastard, but he didn't kill these women.

What about Loftin?

Not a slippery, but still a bastard.

Why do I get the feeling that there's more than you're telling me?

Because you are a very protective man.

Someone else fits your profile?

Possibly.

And who would that be?

Let's say that a man in my position was responsible for these crimes.

What would his motivation be?

He would exercise his power.

Power, yes. The ultimate in...

Afrodis, yeah.

Especially for those who have to prove that they have it.

And in this exercise, he finds his gratification.

Well, I think that this man wants to not only gratify himself, but the women

that he's with.

He cares about them. In his own way.

And you believe that I have this sense of caring.

Well, you're drawn to women.

To that I plead guilty.

You want to please them. In my culture, it is considered an art. So women want

you and men fear you. And then I have become a figure of legend.

And you think that's what I am?

Tú eres una mujer muy hermosa.

But we both know that I am just a policeman in the service of his people.

So I should let you stay so that you can hunt down this man.

So you want to find the killer of my life?

Agent Waters, how badly do you want to find this killer?

So I gave you another 24 hours. I was afraid to ask for any more. I all but

him that he was our prime suspect.

How do you react?

Like a man who relished the attention.

Why didn't Ortiz kill Loftin if he knew about his sister?

Well, I don't think he did, no, not for sure. Does Loftin fit the profile?

Well, both Villalobos and Loftin fit pieces of it.

Villalobos could have killed these women because he could prove that Loftin was

sleeping with them.

It's obvious that Villalobos was blackmailing Loftin. Unless I've screwed

up, here's one we can identify.

I recognize her. That's Ortiz's sister.

We just found control of his mother.

Revisé los mensajes como a las 12 de la noche y él todavía estaba aquí.

No pudo salirse. Solo alguien lo sacó. Vi una luz en tu oficina, pero no era

nada.

Se lo informo al FBI.

No. No le digas nada.

Rápido.

Enough money to get you to Chicago.

Okay? Si. You get on the butt.

You don't look back.

No? Okay. Si.

Gracias. Vamos.

Vamos.

Don't worry.

This is getting easier.

What happened to García?

Suspicious. He already left.

Where did he go?

Well, I took him to the border. After that, I don't know.

I think Villalobos has to find another murderer.

Maybe the real one this time.

When the VCPF confiscated the defendant's computer, were you able to

connection between the defendant, Donald Lucas, and the victims of Jack of All

Trades? Objection. Counsel is attempting to mislead the jury.

Donald Lucas and Jack of All Trades are one and the same.

Dang. I'll rephrase. Were you able to make a connection between the defendant,

Donald Lucas, and the victims?

I found evidence to support the fact that Donald Lucas had hacked into the

hospital records, the bank and insurance files, and even the IRS and Social

Security records of some of the victims.

And what was this evidence, Agent Fraley?

Remnant data strings.

Excuse me. Ghosting is what we call it. And what is a remnant data string?

It's an image lifted off of the surface of a hard drive left behind during the

process of erasure.

And is there a measure of density to this image which you must have in order

conclude certainty?

A density of 5 .06 is necessary.

And did these ghostings have this density?

The defendant had built into his erasure program a silicone emollient which

renders testing of its density impossible.

So you were unable to determine if the ghostings had the necessary density?

This Mr.

Lucas...

Mr. Lucas wanted to avoid detection and destroy evidence that probably linked

him to the murder victims.

Your Honor, the witness is making speculation.

Stick to the question, Agent Fraley.

No, they did not have this measure of density.

So you were not able to make any link between the defendant and any of the 43

victims the defendant is accused of killing?

No.

I have no further questions, Your Honor.

You must have a lot to keep you busy at home.

More than enough, I'm afraid.

Then why come here?

That's why.

He says the suspect they had in custody must have killed her before he was

caught.

You don't believe that?

No more than you do.

Gracie.

I'll know better after a full exam, but I'd say that she's been dead at least 18

hours prior to discovery.

Ernesto was still in jail.

Was she sexually attacked?

I wouldn't say attacked.

But there was none.

Let's get the body back to the morgue. Have Sam take a look as soon as she gets

it back.

Couldn't have gotten out of jail without help. Things happen in this town that

no one can explain.

That no one can, or no one will.

Rides like a dream.

Don't you love it?

I wanted a convertible.

Mrs. Lofton.

Mr. Lofton, buenos dias.

And what can I do for you, Miguel?

Um, I'm gonna go change, okay?

I hope you came to tell me that you recaptured that escaped suspect.

I know you didn't let him go, Miguel. That would have been stupid.

You're not stupid.

I wish I was more well -read.

Don't ever confuse education with intelligence.

Somebody left that cell door open.

There's one person in your department that you can't control.

She owes me her livelihood.

And you think that translates into what?

Loyalty?

As far as women go, the word doesn't exist.

Martha would never turn on me. Listen, I don't care whether you're sleeping with

her or not, but there's a person in your department whose interests don't

coincide with ours.

Take care of it soon, Miguel.

Take care of it quietly.

What did you come to tell me?

Oh, they found another DNA sample.

Nice car.

George's testimony didn't help. They destroyed every direct link that he

to make between Donald Lucas and the murders.

So we're left with circumstantial.

He could walk.

A week ago, I wouldn't have thought this was possible.

Look, cases are made every day on circumstantial and far less than what we

I can't let him walk away.

You know how brutal testifying is going to be.

Yeah, I do.

I sat outside Lofton's office all day. He never moved.

We got the pictures of him and the women.

Why don't we just drag him in here? They were obtained illegally.

The minute the DNA confirms he had sex with the murder victims, we'll confront

him, but not before.

We're turning up more bodies every hour.

Another one last night out in the desert. They were trying to lay it on

but that's... Garcia?

He escaped, Sam.

Villalobos isn't being helpful with the details.

We'll get some pictures of Garcia distributed along the border. If he

cross over, we'll grab him pretty quick.

Grace is working on the latest victim.

Yeah, I'll head over there. Just give me a minute.

That's good.

Convince me you didn't let him escape.

This is my house.

Convince me, Martha.

What a beautiful prayer.

Convénceme.

No lo dejé escapar.

No me has convencido.

Yo te quiero creer.

Créame o no.

I'm right outside of the secret.

Your 24 hours are up.

Your suspects escaped.

And we'll find them.

If anything happens to her... If you think that you can come into my country

threaten me, Agent Waters...

Have

a very pleasant evening, ladies.

He thinks I let Garcia go.

And so do you.

But I didn't.

Well, then who did?

Look, Marta, if you're afraid for yourself and your son, we can arrange

into the United States.

He won't do anything to me as long as you're here.

We won't always be here. Then we have to find the killer before you leave.

What if we don't?

I was born here.

And I have a job to do, if only to prove that they can't make me run away.

Can you understand that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Any sexual contact?

Within a few hours of death, there's nothing like a consistent M .O. to keep

things simple.

So are we back to the idea of a sexual predator?

I can't help thinking this goes beyond a strictly physical urge.

You don't see that many Latinas with this kind of dye job.

I can say that and still remain PC.

Well, he knows that he can't be with them forever, but...

Maybe he keeps hoping that his fantasy of some long -term relationship will

become a reality.

You know I can't stand long goodbyes. We still have more time.

I'm meeting James for an early dinner.

Come on, get out of bed. Gotta change your sheets.

Nothing like performing on command.

Oh, stop whining.

Did you ever think of the possibility that I may be in love with you?

Is that so crazy?

Maybe not for you.

Your husband can't give you what I can.

He can't give you anything at all.

So what am I supposed to do?

Walk away from the house, the car, everything?

For a guy who makes 12 grand a year, including kickbacks?

Hey, easy, Pedro. You know, we can call Hal to this all together.

He's home. You've got to get out of here.

I suspect this.

He's sleeping with my wife.

Someone should.

It was you, wasn't it?

You're the one who's been killing all those girls. Why would I kill your

girlfriend?

You know, I'm only keeping the feds around to watch you squirm.

I guess you don't have to walk away from anything now, huh?

Henry!

Oh, my God!

We arrived within five minutes of Mrs. Lofton's call.

Rapid response is a point of pride.

He was trying to achieve prosperity for our people. He didn't do too badly for

himself. No?

Where's your ballistics lab?

It won't be necessary.

I want that bullet tested he was an American citizen.

In my country.

We have a pretty good idea who the killer was.

Raul Ortiz.

His sister was one of the victims.

He believed Loftin was responsible.

Well, if you hurry, you can still beat a confession out of him before dinner.

You have another suspect in mind?

You got a reason why I shouldn't suspect you.

He was my lover.

And my best friend.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Everyone loved Jimmy.

Mrs. Lofton, you said that you were reading.

Uh -huh.

You didn't see or hear anyone just before the gun went off.

I just heard the shot.

How long did it take before the police got here?

About 20 minutes after I called.

She's having an affair.

My money's on Villalobos.

He said the response time was five minutes. She told you 20. That's too big

gap.

It'll often fit your profile.

He was humiliated by his wife's affair, emotionally diminished. So he takes his

revenge out on these other women.

Well, Villalobos could be the one who's humiliated.

Humiliated? You've seen Lofton's wife.

Yeah, but Villalobos is only there to serve her.

I mean, she'd never have left her husband for him.

And I don't think she had a problem letting him know that.

Malone.

Tell him we're 20 minutes out.

It's our buddy at the State Department.

I don't think you understand the ramifications here.

I understand you tried to put a muzzle on us.

And now you've got a dead industrialist whose DNA, despite your efforts to

obstruct justice, was found in the bodies of two murdered women.

I had nothing to do with that disappearance.

Anyway, you found what you were looking for?

Does that make Lofton the killer?

Not necessarily. It may have turned him into a victim.

You want to clear Lofton because it makes life easier for you.

We want the killer, whether it's Lofton or Villalobos.

All right.

I'm ready to deal.

Call the Attorney General in Mexico City.

Give me a warrant to obtain Villalobos' gun. Give me a reason.

Villalobos was blackmailing Lofton. He had taken dozens of photographs of

with various young women, at least one of whom has turned up as a murder

Well, that makes Villalobos a suspect in the murders.

Mm -hmm. He fits the profile.

Get me the attorney general.

Tener dinero, listo.

Ya sabes donde lo encontré.

I'd like your sidearm.

Get out of my office.

Your sidearm.

Son of a bitch.

You're investigating me for murder in my town?

Why, you're at it.

Why don't you dust for prints and find out who broke into my office the other

night?

I'd like to get my hands on him.

Our warrant includes a search of your private residence. We can go there next

you'd like.

Lofton's body has been moved to a lab across the border.

We'll have the results by morning.

Why would Villa Lobos kill Lofton if he was blackmailing Lofton? He was sleeping

with Lofton's wife.

We believe the discovery of their affair led to the killing.

I saw Villa Lobos earlier.

He was with a girl.

She was pretty, about 20.

We should put a tail on him.

You can try, but he won't tail easily.

And if he makes you, I'll keep an eye out for her. Hopefully she'll stay at

out of trouble.

Okay, well, in spite of these killings, nightlife is remaining active.

Sheriff, maybe you could run some patrols along the border starting at

right on through the night. We haven't been having any troubles on this side.

And I'd like to do everything we can to keep it that way.

I'll get right on then.

I am sorry for what I said when you first came here.

About trying to clear your conscience.

You care about this.

Very much.

How do you explain to your daughter why you care?

My daughter has experienced tragedy in a way that I hope your son never does.

She understands.

I want him to understand.

Sarah?

How long, Dr. Waters, did it take you to bring the defendant into custody?

Uh, seven years.

Long time.

Couldn't have been trying very hard if it took you seven years. Your Honor,

counsel's opinion of how hard the witness was trying has no relevance.

Sustained. Isn't it a fact, Dr. Waters, that it took you seven years because on

some level you actually enjoyed being the object of this alleged obsession Mr.

Lucas had for you?

One of the premier profilers for the FBI, and yet it took you seven years to

bring this man in. I just find that kind of hard.

Objection asked and answered. Would you like it read back to you?

Your Honor, may I?

I didn't enjoy living my life in a prison.

I didn't enjoy depriving my child of a normal childhood.

Chloe.

My daughter... Sorry.

My daughter has no memories of going to park or playing in the playground

because she never did.

We have lived our lives in a state of fear due to the constant threat posed by

the defendant.

The fact is Mr. Lucas never did threaten you, did he? Yes, he did. He broke into

my house. And how did he do that? You yourself described it as a prison.

I don't know.

What happened?

He left me a note. What kind of note?

It was the lyrics to a song that we sang in Sunday school.

That's a threat?

It was an attempt to create a psychological environment that would...

ask for your opinion of the defendant's motive.

Mr. Meshel.

You opened this can.

Besides, she's qualified.

Go on.

Thank you.

It was an attempt to create an environment of fear that would render me

daughter psychologically vulnerable.

To what end?

I don't know. You're qualified, Dr. Waters. To what end?

Objection. He is badgering the witness. To what end?

This is the end.

The defendant will sit down. The defendant confesses to the acts with

is charged that the abuse of this woman will end. This woman... Your Honor, may

we have a recess? Shut up, Jeff. Order, Mr.

Meshel. Your Honor, this man has no right to represent me. Order. He

recognize love if it bit him in the ass. Mr.

Meshel, if you're angling for an incompetency plea... We met in

the shadow of his cross, and I have carried it my whole life.

Even though I've committed what they call crimes, I feel no guilt.

Those lives meant nothing.

They were simply a conduit that led you to me.

They bound us together through the mystic cords of memory.

Inseparable.

Sharing one mind.

One consciousness.

One soul.

I need to speak to my client.

Order!

Order!

I could feel it all slipping away.

The entire case.

And then he just jumped up and he confessed.

To everything, unequivocally.

Then his lawyer started angling for diminished capacity. He doesn't belong

institution.

He deserves to be strapped to the chair.

I have to go back in three days for a certain thing.

Nightmares all of a sudden.

In three days it'll be over.

Marta was shot last night, but she's holding on.

Why didn't you call me?

I didn't want that hanging over you while you were on the stand.

Was it Villalobos?

We don't know.

She was in the desert, shot with her own gun. Based on the footprints, she tried

to stop an attack.

Marta said that she saw him with a girl.

Whoever did it left her for dead.

They've got her room guarded at the hospital.

Her condition hasn't worsened.

We have to believe she'll make it, sir.

Can I get anybody anything over the diner? No, thanks.

Sheriff Tellman, did he ever talk to you about women?

Mrs. Lofton in particular?

All the time.

That's why I never believed him.

A guy who has to tell the whole world what he's been up to probably hasn't

up to anything.

That's why I keep my mouth shut, you know what I'm saying?

It's like my daddy used to say.

You don't tell people how smart you are.

You let them find out for themselves.

What

is

this, amigos?

Hello, Dom.

Where's your employer? No good English.

Donde Ortiz?

Okay, okay.

We go.

We go to Ortiz.

See? Your English wasn't that bad.

Good.

As long as Villalobos was pointing the finger at Ortiz for Loftin's murder, he

knew that Ortiz would stay hidden.

I don't want to seem like I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but we always heard

things about Villalobos.

Run in that town like it was his private playground.

Sheriff, I want you to have as many people as you can spare at the

tonight between 10 and 11.

Sure. Why?

It's all set.

Ortiz will be there at 10 in the alley outside the Ocho Caballos Saloon.

And will he have the negatives with him? And the only copies.

Pictures of the killer with those women.

We let word slip back to Villalobos.

So he's interested in buying them. Let me put it this way.

See? That'll close the noose. As soon as Villalobos makes the buy, we grab him.

I'll have every squad car we own right at the checkpoint.

If he tries to cross the border, we'll be there for him.

I want those negatives, Ortiz.

Let's have them.

How much are you willing to pay?

Do you want to live?

What difference does it make?

You killed my sister.

Was she one of them?

I'm sorry.

Don't move, Sheriff. Get your hands on your head.

On your head!

Hey. Well, you okay?

Glad he can aim.

Did you get it on tape?

Hey, thank you.

I didn't do it for you. There were no pictures, were

there?

No. Then how'd you know?

Well, like you said, don't tell him how smart you are.

We found out about your divorce, the charges your wife made.

Wasn't true. What she said about me wasn't true.

Let's go.

DNA on the victims. It was Loftin's, right? Yeah.

Tomlin went after these women because he figured if they'd been with Loftin that

they would be easy, they wouldn't judge him.

I guess when he failed to perform with them, that must have been the final

humiliation.

A respected member of an American law enforcement community found guilty of

serial murders.

But it's a tragedy.

For everyone.

These gentlemen are here to arrest you for the murder of James Lofton. We

matched the bullet to your gun. That's impossible.

You couldn't have matched my gun.

You used a different gun.

Gracias.

It was Dolman.

Here we go.

Your Honor.

Defendant will please rise.

Indictment number Z11744, State of Georgia versus Donald Lucas.

It is hereby ordered and adjudged that the defendant shall be executed

by means of electrocution by the Department of Corrections of the State

Georgia.

The order will be lodged with the Penal Department of the State of Georgia and

the defendant will be remanded to the custody of the state prison at Marietta.

Sam, even in death, I'll be with you always.

He wanted this verdict.

In death, he finds something that he could never have in life.

But he's wrong.

The story ends with his death, as it should have years ago.

Does it?

Billy, I don't think that I can go back to work right now. I mean, I... I just

need some time.

A buddy of mine owns a cabin.

Not much in it but a cot, a sink, and a fireplace.

You got your phone?

I got the phone.

I want you to call in every day in the morning and at night. Billy, I'm fine.

Chloe's with your father? No, my father's in Brussels and Chloe's at

camp. Angel's watching her, so I have got everything covered.

Told you it wasn't plush.

Perfect.

I'll go get the other bag. Okay.

Billy.

Hey, Billy. What?

No hello?

What are you doing here? I knew you'd be here.

Don't ask how.

It's not really important.

Oh, look at you.

It was really quite a scene in the courtroom, wasn't it?

I thought Lucas was a bit over the top, but what can you expect from a man who

was handed the role of a lifetime?

You know, he actually believes he is me.

Poor bastard.

Sir. That's right.

Samantha.

Bailey. You don't need him.
