Spare me a minute? 31 00:05:18,645 --> 00:05:22,607 I sent her to be with a friend. You saw her? 32 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:24,533 Was she any help at all? 33 00:05:24,631 --> 00:05:27,599 Doesn't seem to be any reason why it was sent to her. 34 00:05:27,703 --> 00:05:31,413 She's a book-keeper for a florist. No problems at work. 35 00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:34,709 Widowed ten years ago. No romantic involvements. 36 00:05:34,776 --> 00:05:40,407 - On good terms with the family. - No one with any grievances she's aware of? 37 00:05:40,473 --> 00:05:42,546 Doesn't make any sense. 38 00:05:42,618 --> 00:05:47,026 This isn't the first time that you've seen one of these, is it? 39 00:05:47,098 --> 00:05:53,460 Over the last four years, we've had human fingers, partial hand, 40 00:05:53,563 --> 00:05:55,865 sent to three individuals, locally. 41 00:05:55,931 --> 00:05:58,583 No discernible reason why they were chosen, 42 00:05:58,653 --> 00:06:02,614 and no connection between any of them we're able to find. 43 00:06:02,685 --> 00:06:06,035 A finger's one thing. A guy can live without a finger. 44 00:06:06,141 --> 00:06:07,702 But a tongue... 45 00:06:07,774 --> 00:06:09,661 The victim is dead, Bletch. 46 00:06:11,614 --> 00:06:16,568 We need your expertise on this, Frank. I guess that goes without saying. 47 00:06:20,736 --> 00:06:23,420 - Have a good evening, ma'am. - Thank you. 48 00:06:26,401 --> 00:06:29,663 "The bear never told the rabbit, the badger or the crow 49 00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:32,512 that his honey was missing from the hollow tree. " 50 00:06:32,642 --> 00:06:34,584 "But he looked at them differently. " 51 00:06:34,658 --> 00:06:38,455 - Why? - We'll find out later. 52 00:06:38,531 --> 00:06:42,623 - Were you expecting a package? - Yeah, files from Bletcher. 53 00:06:42,691 --> 00:06:45,506 I'll look at it downstairs. Won't take long. 54 00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:49,369 - Can you read the rest before bed? - Sure I will, honey. 55 00:06:53,765 --> 00:06:57,475 That's the last of the photos. Have you read the pathology reports? 56 00:06:57,574 --> 00:07:01,055 What strikes me is the examiner's prior conclusion 57 00:07:01,126 --> 00:07:03,679 the parts were removed while the victims were alive. 58 00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:06,598 It's possible the victim or killer weren't acquainted. 59 00:07:06,663 --> 00:07:11,236 So the perpetrator's been hard to catch. But the owners of the body parts? 60 00:07:11,304 --> 00:07:13,606 Given the four years' activity, 61 00:07:13,672 --> 00:07:17,634 we can infer the killer's been careful in disposing of the remains, 62 00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:23,401 selecting victims whose disappearance wouldn't draw unusual attention. 63 00:07:23,498 --> 00:07:25,353 Frank? 64 00:07:26,315 --> 00:07:28,486 - Dinner's on the table. - In a minute. 65 00:07:30,635 --> 00:07:33,799 There's an unusual mindfulness associated with the violence. 66 00:07:33,867 --> 00:07:36,650 The local ME could use an educated opinion. 67 00:07:36,716 --> 00:07:40,012 I've got a call in to Cheryl Andrews. Anything else? 68 00:07:40,077 --> 00:07:42,444 - No. - Enjoy your dinner, Frank. 69 00:07:43,181 --> 00:07:45,189 Thanks. 70 00:07:46,990 --> 00:07:51,333 We're aware other body parts were all sundered while the victims were alive, 71 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:53,927 but this tongue was removed after death. 72 00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:58,190 Also, the instrument wasn't as sharp or as skilfully used. 73 00:07:58,256 --> 00:08:01,802 Would that point to rage, loss of control? 74 00:08:01,936 --> 00:08:06,093 Doubtful. The cuts aren't unusually forceful, just imprecise. 75 00:08:06,161 --> 00:08:09,773 A few false starts, repetitive blade strokes. 76 00:08:09,842 --> 00:08:12,712 - Frank? - We do have a pattern change. 77 00:08:12,786 --> 00:08:18,253 - Unlikely to be intentional deviation. - So how do we account for it? 78 00:08:18,323 --> 00:08:21,488 The victim died prematurely or the killer was interrupted. 79 00:08:21,556 --> 00:08:23,760 The perpetrator may be getting lazy, 80 00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:27,919 becoming more casual as his activities lose their novelty. 81 00:08:27,989 --> 00:08:29,844 So it doesn't tell us much, then. 82 00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:34,667 He's less concerned about being discovered, but no less dangerous. 83 00:08:36,342 --> 00:08:40,979 There's nothing here to indicate that this is gonna stop. 84 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,524 A wet, raw night. 85 00:09:42,592 --> 00:09:45,692 - What can I get ya? - Rain without, rain within. 86 00:09:45,762 --> 00:09:48,217 - A glass of water. - Really? 87 00:09:48,289 --> 00:09:53,407 Be careful of the tone you take.

You like it? 90 00:10:05,092 --> 00:10:07,711 If you're some queer thinks he got lucky... 91 00:10:07,813 --> 00:10:09,122 Queer? 92 00:10:09,189 --> 00:10:12,539 Since the age of 15, you've been released six times. 93 00:10:12,646 --> 00:10:16,771 - Your total time out's less than a year. - Are you a cop? 94 00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:21,411 You're out this time after eight years for robbery with violence. 95 00:10:21,479 --> 00:10:25,823 - Never tried for most of what you've done. - Parole? I got 24 hours to report in. 96 00:10:25,895 --> 00:10:29,191 Two murders. The girl in Tacoma your last time out. 97 00:10:29,256 --> 00:10:33,414 The man who picked you up hitchhiking. You were 17.

Sooner, perhaps. 102 00:10:49,547 --> 00:10:54,021 - I will keep you in the world. - You're a lawyer, right? 103 00:10:54,092 --> 00:10:57,737 No, Mr Bardale, I'm not. I'm ajudge. 104 00:11:08,015 --> 00:11:12,391 Sentence carried out contrary to just instructions of this court. 105 00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:16,971 I had to be practical. It's hard to cut a guy's tongue out when he's still alive. 106 00:11:20,497 --> 00:11:22,636 I meant to get him unsuspecting, 107 00:11:22,705 --> 00:11:26,862 but he bled out in the parking lot and croaked before I got the tongue. 108 00:11:26,930 --> 00:11:29,581 You acted as agent of this court while impaired. 109 00:11:29,650 --> 00:11:33,033 - One beer is all... - Remember I am who I am. 110 00:11:34,035 --> 00:11:37,451 How was the corpse of the condemned disposed of? 111 00:11:38,515 --> 00:11:41,385 - The same way as usual. - You've forgotten. 112 00:11:41,460 --> 00:11:44,395 You feel you can lie as freely to me as to yourself. 113 00:11:44,468 --> 00:11:46,541 They'll never find it. 114 00:11:46,644 --> 00:11:48,587 I had to hurry. 115 00:11:49,173 --> 00:11:52,469 Carl Nearman, you've acted selfishly. 116 00:11:53,238 --> 00:11:56,784 You've ignored justice and the procedures of this court. 117 00:11:56,854 --> 00:11:59,637 I'm discharging you from the court's service. 118 00:12:02,648 --> 00:12:04,623 Mr Bardale... 119 00:12:13,529 --> 00:12:15,798 Stand and receive sentence. 120 00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:35,192 Achilles!
