Woman: STATE POLICE SAY
THE BODIES OF THREE WOMEN

WERE FOUND AT THE BLACK BEAR
INN IN NEWRY.

THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN
SHOT TO DEATH.

THIS IS A PARTICULARLY
GRUESOME, UH,

UNUSUAL TYPE OF CRIME.

Woman: POLICE SAY 31-YEAR-OLD
CHRISTIAN NIELSEN

IS THEIR ONLY SUSPECT.

Man: WE ARE ROLLING.

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

Detective: OKAY.

♪♪

UH...

- DID HE SEE THE GUN?
- Detective: YEAH.

NO.

♪♪

Man: THERE'S A THING INSIDE
OF ME, IT'S LIKE...

THE APPETITE.

IT'S LIKE A WOLF THAT'S...

FILLING...WITH HUNGER.

♪♪

♪♪

Detective:
SO THEN WHERE DO YOU GO?

[ FOOTSTEPS ]

I SAID I HAVE TO --
I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

YOU KNOW, I SORT OF STOOD UP,
I SAID, "OH, I GOTTA GO

- TO THE BATHROOM HERE."
- Detective: YEAH.

AND HE SAID, "UH-HUH."
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]

Nielsen: I HAD BUMMED
A CIGARETTE FROM HIM.

WHEN HE WAS JUST ABOUT DONE
WITH HIS CIGARETTE,

I STOOD UP,

AND I TURNED AROUND,
AND I WALKED BEHIND HIM,

AND I SHOT HIM.

[ GUNSHOT BLASTS ]

FROM A PSYCH STANDPOINT, I LOOK
FOR WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE

PSYCHOMOTOR AGITATION,
SORT OF IS HE RESTLESS,

IS HE FIDGETING?
IS HE UNCOMFORTABLE?

BUT IT GIVES US A SIGN
THAT THERE'S MORE

GOING ON IN HIS HEAD
THAN WHAT HE'S SAYING.

BUT HE DOESN'T APPEAR THAT WAY.

FROM HIS BODY LANGUAGE

AND THE WAY HE'S DESCRIBING
HIS ACTION,

HE'S INDIFFERENT TO ACTUALLY
THE CONTENT

OF WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WAS
NECESSARILY ABOUT JIM.

THIS WAS SOMETHING
HE WAS GONNA DO REGARDLESS.

YOU UNDERSTAND
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO KILL YOU

BECAUSE THEY HATE YOU,
BUT YOU HAVE NO MEANING

ULTIMATELY, TO A PSYCHOPATH --
IT'S LIKE AN OBJECT.

YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT THAN
A COFFEE CUP OR THAN THAT TABLE.

SO IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPERSONAL,

BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S
SO SCARY ABOUT IT.

HIS BODY WENT JUST LIKE THAT,
AND THEN I SHOT HIM AGAIN

JUST TO MAKE SURE
THAT HE WAS DEAD,

AND THEN, LIKE I SAID,
HE HAD A BIG TORSO, BUT...

LITTLE LEGS, VERY TINY LEGS.

Termini: JIM, CHRISTIAN'S FIRST
VICTIM, SUFFERED FROM POLIO,

WHICH IS WHY HE DESCRIBES HIM
AS HAVING THE LEGS OF A CHILD.

CHRISTIAN COULD HAVE SEEN JIM
AS SORT OF, UM, PRIME PREY.

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY
TO CHASE OR TO SORT OF

HUNT DOWN,

SO HE WAS KIND OF A GOOD
GATEWAY INTO MURDER.

Detective: OKAY.

Morgan: HE'S KEEPING
THE BRANCHES, YOU KNOW,

FROM STRIKING HER, WHICH SEEMS
LIKE AN ACT OF KINDNESS.

IT'S WHAT I WOULD CALL
SOMETHING THAT IS DUTIFUL.

I THINK THAT'S,
UM, THAT'S

PROBABLY THE UNDERPINNING
OF SUPERFICIAL CHARM.

THEY ACTUALLY
DON'T HAVE THE FEELING

THEY'RE TRYING
TO DEMONSTRATE.

BUT SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE
THE GENUINE EMOTION

THAT SHOULD GO WITH IT,

THAT'S WHAT -- THAT'S WHAT GIVES
THE TERM SUPERFICIAL, RIGHT?

Detective: YOU STOPPED HERE.

Nielsen: IF YOU LOOK, I'M SURE,
TOMORROW, YOU'LL SEE BLOOD

- HERE SOMEWHERE.
- Detective: OKAY.

BACK...

MAYBE BACK A BIT,

BUT THERE'S BLOOD
ALL THROUGH HERE.

- Detective: OKAY.
- THERE'S BLOOD

ALL IN THAT TRAIL.

AT THAT POINT,
I WAS JUST LIKE, HOO!

SO I PUT THE GUN BACK
AT MY WAIST,

AND MAYBE I SHOT HIM AGAIN,
I'M NOT SURE.

AND THEN I SAID, "I GOTTA GO
TO WORK," AND I WENT TO WORK.

- I WALKED BACK UP, AND...
- Detective: YOU LEFT HIM HERE.

Nielsen: LEFT HIM HERE.

♪♪

Nielsen: I STARTED DIGGING --
MY INTENTIONS WERE TO

DIG A GRAVE, BUT, UH...

[ LAUGHS SHORTLY ]

IT WOULD'VE BEEN SHALLOW.

Detective: SO WHEN YOU FIRST
GOT OUT HERE, TOOK A SHOVEL OUT,

AND STARTED DIGGING HERE.

THESE DIMENSIONS RIGHT HERE --
YOU CAN SEE WHERE

- I STARTED DIGGING.
- Detective: YEAH.

HE ACTUALLY LAUGHS.

YOU CAN HEAR HIM KIND OF
DOING THIS SING-SONG

ALMOST LAUGHING VOICE.

SOMEBODY -- I JUST FELT THAT
IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Detective: YOU DIDN'T WANT TO
LEAVE HIM OUT IN THE OPEN.

SHE'S PUSHING FOR A MORE

SUBTLE UNDERSTANDING
OF WELL, YOU KNOW,

WHAT WERE YOU FEELING?

IT SEEMS TO THROW HIM
FOR A LOOP.

SHE IS PUSHING FOR HIS FEELINGS,
AND HE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE THEM.

[ FIRE CRACKLING ]

♪♪

SO ANYWAY, FOR WHATEVER REASON,
I'M OUT HERE DIGGING A GRAVE.

- Detective: OKAY.
- Nielsen: ALL RIGHT.

♪♪

♪♪

Nielsen: UH...

Woman: 50-YEAR-OLD JIMMY
WHITEHURST WAS FOUND

IN A SHALLOW GRAVE.

HE'D BEEN SHOT,
THEN HIS BODY BURNED.

♪♪

PSYCHOPATHS DO HAVE
LOWER IMPULSE CONTROL.

THEIR DORSOLATERAL
PREFRONTAL CORTEX, IN MOST

PSYCHOPATHS, IS SMALLER
THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON,

AND THIS IS DIMINISHED
IN A PSYCHOPATH.

CHRISTIAN DID NOT HAVE GREAT
IMPULSE CONTROL.

I THINK
HE ENJOYED KILLING JIM,

AND HE WANTED TO DO IT AGAIN,
SO HE DID.

♪♪

♪♪

HE WAS DOING
COOK LINE WORK

AND PROBABLY DIDN'T ATTRACT
ANYONE'S ATTENTION

AS SOMEONE WHO WAS BIZARRE
OR SCARY OR INTIMIDATING,

AND HE DOESN'T APPARENTLY, UM,

ENGAGE IN ODD OR PECULIAR
OR WEIRD BEHAVIORS,

HE WOULD'VE LOOKED LIKE
AN EVERYDAY INDIVIDUAL

WHO WAS SMART.

[ NIELSEN LAUGHING ]

Termini: THIS IS AN ILLOGICAL
THING TO ASK HIM,

IN HIS MIND -- WHY ARE YOU
EVEN ASKING ME THIS?

WHY SHOULD I POSSIBLY CARE?

PSYCHOPATHS GENERALLY WILL NOT
EXPERIENCE THESE EMOTIONS.

♪♪

Man: THOSE WHO KNOW CHRISTIAN
NIELSEN DESCRIBE HIM

AS A BIT ODD,
QUIET AND HARDWORKING.

I HEARD THE NEWS THIS MORNING,
AND I WAS LIKE,

IS THAT THE SAME CHRISTIAN
THAT I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH?

Man: NIELSEN HAD BEEN WORKING AS
A COOK AT THE SUDBURY INN

JUST DOWN THE ROAD
FROM THE MURDER SCENE

WHERE HE HAD ALSO BEEN LIVING.

Detective: OKAY.

Detective: OKAY.

Termini:
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT CHRISTIAN

FELT BAD ABOUT KILLING THE DOG.

ONE HALLMARK
THAT WE DO OFTEN SEE

IN PSYCHOPATHS IS AN EARLY
ABUSE OF ANIMALS.

IT'S, IN SOME WAYS, A PRACTICE
FOR WHAT THEY'RE EVENTUALLY

GONNA DO,
BECAUSE THEY'RE LESS LIKELY

TO GET CAUGHT FOR IT,
BECAUSE THE ANIMAL'S NOT GONNA

TELL ANYBODY OR SAY ANYTHING,

AND SO ANIMALS ARE OFTEN
KIND OF THE GATEWAY INTO, UM,

SOME SORT OF AGGRESSION
OR VIOLENCE TOWARDS A PERSON.

♪♪

CHRISTIAN KILLING SELBY, UM,

ESSENTIALLY WAS
ORPHANING HER CHILDREN.

HER HUSBAND HAD DIED, AND SHE
HAD TWO CHILDREN AT HOME,

SO BY KILLING HER,
THOSE CHILDREN NOW HAVE

NO PARENTS --
THEY ALSO HAVE NO GRANDMOTHER,

BECAUSE HE HAD ALREADY
KILLED HER,

UM, BUT HE DOESN'T CARE.

♪♪

[ GUNSHOT BLASTS ]

WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE TRANSCRIPTS

OR THE SPEECH PATTERNS OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE PSYCHOPATHY,

THEY DON'T USE METAPHOR
VERY OFTEN,

THEY'RE VERY CONCRETE,
VERY DIRECT,

AND THEY'RE SOMEWHAT CONFUSED
WHEN PEOPLE PUSH FOR

THE MEANING OF FEELINGS
AND NUANCE,

AND THEY SEEM TO BE
PERPLEXED -- TO HIM,

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

IT'S -- IT IS LIKE SPEAKING
A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

HE'S, AGAIN,
ALMOST FRUSTRATED THAT

SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
HIS LOGIC,

LIKE, "HOW COULD
YOU ASK ME THAT?

WHY WOULD I KILL HIM?
HE'S MY DAD."

UM, WHEN WHY WOULDN'T
HE KILL HIM?

HE KILLED FOUR OTHER PEOPLE
IN THE LAST 48 HOURS.

HE ASSUMES THAT THE OTHER
PEOPLE ARE GONNA KIND OF FOLLOW

HIS LOGIC AND FOLLOW HIS LINE
OF THINKING WHEN, IN FACT,

HIS LINE THINKING IS
COMPLETELY DEVIANT.

♪♪

♪♪

Woman: POLICE SAY 31-YEAR-OLD
CHRISTIAN NIELSEN CONFESSED TO

THESE KILLINGS,
AND HE'S CHARGED

WITH FOUR COUNTS OF MURDER.

Woman:
WHAT HE DID IS WRONG.

THERE WAS NO SENSE IN
DOING WHAT HE DID,

AND THEN CAN'T
EXPLAIN YOURSELF? NO.

I'M SORRY.

I DO WANT TO AVOID A TRIAL
SIMPLY BECAUSE...

THE OUTCOME WOULD BE GUILTY.

I WISH HE WAS DEAD.

Termini: YOU KNOW,
IN MANY OF THE PICTURES,

HE LOOKS DIRECTLY AT
THE CAMERA AND SMILES.

Morgan: HE IS SMIRKING,
BECAUSE HE'S AMUSED

AT THE DEGREE TO WHICH

EVERYONE IS FASCINATED
ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I THINK HE'S THE OUTSIDE
OBSERVER SAYING, HUH?

LOOK AT ALL
THESE CRAZY HUMANS.

HE'S AMUSED AND FASCINATED BY

THESE STRANGE PEOPLE
IN THIS STRANGE WORLD WHO SEEM

TO BE ALL STIRRED UP
ABOUT WHAT HE DID.
