Original subtitles

Don't know.

Does it bite?

You could have killed me.

Shh.

CBI? Yes, sir. Lisbon, Jane.

Mallory, what took you so long?

Sheriff, I understand this is a tough situation for you.

Tough situation.

This is Deputy Nelson Capelle. Been with me 15 years. Got three kids.

He answered a 911 call last night at 1023 from a local girl, Keely Farlow, on

her cell phone.

She gave her location here and the line went dead.

This is Deputy Lance Connor, five years in.

His dad was at high school with me.

That EMT captain you see there, crying like a baby?

That's my nephew, Todd.

The reason he's crying, Keely, that's his fiancée, throat cut.

So, yeah, tough situation.

You go ahead and look at whatever it is you want to look at.

Let me know when you're done so we can take these folks someplace decent.

Eesh, this is trouble.

Interesting, though.

Three different methods of killing.

What is that? It's always bad when local cops are personally involved.

Think the feds want this one?

The bodies have been arranged as well, not in an ostentatious way. There's a

definite aesthetic at work here. He took his time.

Yeah, it's a truly complicated maniac we're dealing with.

Yes, I think I will call the feds.

No, don't do that.

I don't know why, but I... I want this case.

Or vice versa.

All right. I have a feeling I'm going to be sorry.

You people done yet?

Sheriff Mallory, just so we're on the same page in cases like these, we, the

CBI, have sole jurisdiction.

Your department would have a strictly advisory role.

You can have all the jurisdiction you want. I swear to God, the man who did

this will not live to see a courtroom.

You didn't hear that.

Yep. I'm already sorry.

Password for Wi-Fi?

Say, 1-2-3-4.

Of course.

So, CBI.

Top Guns.

Not really.

I'm Agent Grace Van Pelt. Bob Wolgar.

Number two around here.

That's Hobbs.

Sir, help you?

May I please speak with whoever is in charge of the murderer investigation?

Why's that?

I'm sorry, are you in charge?

No, but I...

I thought not.

Sir, I'm with the CBI.

We're in charge of this investigation.

If you have any information about the case, I'd be more than happy to help.

It's no offense.

You are far too young and pretty to have any authority in the matter. I shall

wait for your chief.

Hmm.

Dear media, keep moving.

CBI, please.

Put the weapon down right now.

All right, no problem.

No need to shout.

And you are?

I'm Joe Hunaker.

Keely's my granddaughter. I live here with her and Ty.

Come on in.

She was a good girl.

You know, if she and Todd hadn't brought me in here on my VA check, I'd be in a

hostel somewhere.

Hey, Todd.

Lisbon. Jane.

Oh, hey, yes, we met.

Really, I apologize for my outburst there. I was a little crazy, you can

imagine. I'm calmed down a little now.

Rest assured, I won't be pulling any vigilante nonsense.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

And I'm glad to see it that way.

There's no upside to take the law into your own hands.

Revenge truly doesn't work.

Well, that's just a sweeping statement, isn't it?

I'm sure we can all think of examples where revenge has worked splendidly.

Thanks for your input.

Just saying.

Tell us about Keeley.

I don't say.

I love her.

We're getting married.

We were.

Parents? Auto accident about five years ago.

Drunk driver.

Both dead.

What was the last time you spoke to her?

About an hour before she was due home. I called her.

And I asked her to bring home some beer and chips. Me and Honey were playing gin

rummy. And I could have picked her up.

You know, I often do when it's raining or whatever, but last night, last night,

I was just, I was lazy, I guess.

This is basically my fault that she's dead.

Don't.

Don't say that, son.

Don't take it on yourself.

Please find who did this.

I just want to know why.

Healy worked the late shift for the last year.

Four to ten is reliable as clockwork.

Great kid.

Everybody loved her.

What's that a smile for you, you know?

Yeah, she thought the best of folks.

Kind of naive that way.

Meaning anyone in particular?

No, just, you know, in general.

Trusting. Last night, what time did she leave work?

Ten, as always.

On that so-and-so bicycle.

I told her it wasn't safe, but she said it saved money and kept her skinny.

Did anything unusual happen during her shift? Anything at all?

Not that I saw.

There was this trucker trying to pick her up. Come in a few times now.

Always left her like a 10-buck tip.

He was in here yesterday around closing time. You remember him, Rusty?

She used to love to show her engagement ring to guys, shut them down.

This guy was like, I don't care. He kept on trying.

You get his name?

Says Greg on his shirt.

You remember him? Big old greasy fella.

No. Can't say I do.

He drives this truck with this big smiling orange on the side.

With arms.

Like, hi, I'm an orange.

Examples where revenge works splendidly.

Nice. I was just teasing.

A little hypocritical of you to lecture him on revenge, don't you think? How's

that?

All these years you've been helping me seek revenge?

It's different.

How's that?

I'm in control of the situation.

Oh, really?

She must have been abducted somewhere along this stretch of road.

Strange we haven't found her bike.

Maybe she didn't head straight home.

What do you mean you're in control of the situation?

When the day comes, when we find Red John, I'm going to be there to stop you

from doing anything foolish. We're going to put him in front of a judge and a

jury. You really believe that? Yes, I do. Really?

I just assumed you took that judge and jury stuff with a grain of salt. Well,

you assumed wrong.

No salt.

You know the reality will be different.

That job is mine.

And I will exact my revenge on him.

I think when the time comes, you'll see that violence is not the answer.

I had no idea your naive idealism was so deeply felt.

Gosh.

Gosh. Gosh.

Excuse me. You are Agent Teresa Lisbon.

Yes, I am. Good evening, ma'am.

My name is Elzamar.

I understand you are leading the Keeley-Farlow murder investigation.

Yes. Ah, poor girl.

I often saw her around town, so fresh, innocent.

Yes.

I have information.

The killer is going to strike again.

Soon. And how do you know that, sir?

That's hard to explain. Some call it a third eye or ESP. I think of it simply

as my gift.

Not interested.

Thanks, though. I've been waiting here for several hours.

Perhaps you are more broad-minded, sir.

Don't get me started.

Forgive your brusqueness. I can tell that you have been visited by great

tragedy.

Oh, really?

I'm sorry I did not mean to offend. I just saw it in your eyes.

Goodbye, Mr. Mars.

If you do need my help again, please call me. I'll happily come back.

Joe and Rigsby have gone back to Sacramento to pick up Gregor Hobart.

Drives a truck by Happy Citrus Farms. Was seen talking to Keely as she left

work. What about forensics? They put a rush on the report, be here first thing

in the morning, and I booked his rooms at the nearest motel.

Reasonable price. Deputy Hobbs says it's clean.

Good. It's been a long day.

You alright, T?

Oh, small town motel, gas station, pizza. What could be better?

Gregor Hobart?

Yes. Don't run.

Wasn't going to. Yeah, we had to look about you.

Hold on, Cosmo. Gregor.

What's this about?

Keeley Frollo? She's dead. Murdered.

Oh, no.

You were fond of Keeley, weren't you?

Yes, I was.

Did you ever tell her that?

Sure.

I asked her out.

What was her response?

I think she was intrigued.

She was engaged to be married.

We're all sinners, brother.

Even nice girls like Keely.

When did you last speak to her? Yesterday, when she left work.

When she left work? Where?

Outside the diner in the street. She was unlocking her bike.

That makes you the last person to see her alive?

Apart from her killer.

So you said hi.

I said hi. She said hi.

She was upset.

And so I tried to make her feel better.

I told her a joke.

This goat walks into a bar. What was she upset about?

Cook at the diner is hassling her on the sly, grabbing at her, you know, secret

lech.

They had a tussle just before I saw her.

So she was upset.

So anyway, I made her laugh.

She rode off happy. And that's the last you saw of her?

Yeah.

A strange thing.

When she was leaving, the moon was coming up over the hills.

And it looked like she was riding to the moon.

You know?

I was admiring how pretty she looked.

And at the same time...

It gave me a bad feeling.

Like an evil omen.

We hear you're harassing Keeley Farlow.

Putting your hands on her?

No. We hear you had a fight with her yesterday.

No.

It's hot in here. Grow up your sleeves.

That's okay. I'm not hot.

A cat did this.

There is no cat, Rusty. And forensics will find your skin under Keely's

fingernails, won't they?

I want a lawyer.

Leave him alone with me for ten minutes. I'll get a confession.

That's a great idea.

That's not the way we work.

Don't worry about it, little lady. Go get yourself a latte.

Check your email. Won't take long.

Sheriff, I believe we have some cultural differences here. I think we'll take

this gentleman back to Sacramento, question him there.

Avoid friction.

Come on.

You had her at the lady.

My aunt had a cat.

Charlie Manson with fur. Of course he was calm.

Got it?

Fur. Interesting aunt.

Just trying to keep our friend at ease, right?

Relax, sir.

Relax. I'm the pain.

Stop.

Tell me why I shouldn't charge Ty Johnson with assault.

I think you should. But he's a good kid.

He just got carried away. Are we going to ruin his life with a criminal record?

I mean, hasn't he suffered enough already?

Vengeance is not legal. People need to know that.

So I have justice and humanity on my side, and Lisbon has a teachable moment.

Let me talk to him. I will persuade him to drop the notion of revenge.

I'll put him back on the right path. You think you can do that?

I know I can.

I've been there.

Okay, go do that.

And if he says the right things, and I believe him, then he can walk away.

Yes, ma'am.

Have a seat.

You just tried to kill an innocent man.

Very lucky you failed. I didn't fail.

I mean, I wasn't thinking.

I don't know what I was doing.

You're sure he's not the guy? He's not the guy, trust me.

CBI chief wants to charge you with assault.

I guess I got it coming to me.

Unless... Unless...

You're willing to swear you've learned your lesson and you won't pursue

personal vengeance.

Can't do that, Mr. Jane.

I'll find who did this to Kiwi. I will kill them.

I can't swear to do otherwise.

Todd, you repeat what I tell you now.

And I will deny every word of it.

If you truly want revenge, you have to be hard.

You have to be dishonest and devious and cold.

You can't let people see what's in your heart.

So anyhow, I'm very sorry.

I swear it will never happen again.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

And I'm glad to say that you can walk out of here a free man.

No charges.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That was all BS, right?

Well, sounded pretty sincere to me.

I hope you know what you're doing.

About 78% sure.

Grace, what is it? The ballistics report came in. Deputy Connor was shot with the

same .45 caliber handgun that was used in the Howard Ortiz murders.

Oh, crap.

Howard Ortiz murders.

Two months ago, SAC PD officer Jeff Ortiz was shot dead by a passing

motorist. Then, exactly one month later, CHP officer Rance Howard was shot dead

with the same handgun.

Both incidents occurred late at night on country roads.

Howard used to work here before your time. Good guy.

The San Francisco office has the case. Did you talk to them? Yep. They're

sending over a copy of the case files.

Serial killer of policeman.

Very interesting.

This is not a fascinating puzzle. It's a media craft storm.

Okay.

San Francisco basically has nothing on the Howard Ortiz murders.

No forensics apart from ballistics, no witnesses, no leads.

Rusty Morrill was on vacation in Florida when the first murder occurred.

We got Hovart's company log puts him out of range in both instances, so we can

discard both of them as suspects.

Well, forensics found no suspicious DNA on Keeley or the two deputies.

The tie tracks at the scene of the crime were stand and make, over five million

sold in California alone.

I got nothing, basically.

Well, except a monthly pattern, a .45 caliber handgun, and a grudge against

the police.

But why Keeley? She's not police.

Why not Keeley?

He sees her riding along.

It's easy to knock her off her bike. Now he has bait to lure the deputies into a

trap. In any case, the killer's gotten more elaborate. Started with a simple

drive-by. Now we have multiple victims, staging of bodies, arson. He's beginning

to enjoy himself, spreading his wings.

I'm reading your interview with Hobart, the poetical trucker.

He says that when Keeley wrote off, and I quote,

the moon was coming up over the hills and it looked like she was riding to the

moon. You know.

And I was admiring how pretty she looked.

And at the same time, I had a bad feeling about it.

Like an evil omen.

Moon rises in the east.

So she was riding east.

But her route home is west of the diner. She wasn't headed home when she left

work. We've been looking for the abduction site on the wrong stretch of

road.

That's Keely's bike.

Okay.

I'm gonna have to cordon off this whole area. I'm gonna call forensics, get some

techs down here.

Where does this go? Where was she headed?

About half a mile down, there's a make-out spot the local kids use. After

that, nothing.

Until you get to Gainersville, 20 miles away.

Hey, I got something.

Looks like a button from a peacoat type of thing. Like sailors wear.

Sailors and firemen.

We're investigating the Orchard murders. We need a list of all the firefighters

that weren't on duty the night before last.

And anyone who was supposed to be on duty but didn't show up.

Okay.

You look troubled.

No.

Yeah, actually, I mean, there was one guy that didn't show up that night, but

there's no way.

He's not that kind of guy. What's his name?

Kitchen.

Ben kitchen more can we find mr. Kitchen?

Yo kitsch get out of here These

detectives want to talk to you

Okay, what'd

I do how'd you lose your eyebrows barbecue accident at home much coming to

work the night before last

Stomach bug?

Might be it was the barbecue.

What's this about?

Your lack of eyebrows.

I know what she looks like.

I didn't kill her.

I was home.

Like I said a million times now.

You say that, but you have no proof.

I don't need proof. You need proof.

You have a bad attitude.

What's the matter?

My face hurts.

You don't like policemen?

Don't love them.

It's nothing personal.

It's a firefighter's tradition.

Sheriff Mullery?

Hey, Lisbon, I hear you got a suspect in custody.

I am. He looks pretty good for him.

Firefighter, huh?

Yeah. Ben Kitchen?

Yeah, I know him.

All right. Look, I'm on my way to the office now.

That's all right, Sheriff. It's early days yet. We don't even... Don't worry,

I won't interfere.

I learned my lesson.

Hello?

Sheriff?

Sheriff Mullery.

I'm waiting for confirmation from Ballistics, but the ME took what looks

like a .45 slug from Mullery.

Same caliber as the previous murders, same ammo.

So we have to assume it's the same shooter, only a different schedule.

Three days from the last murder instead of a month.

Why the change?

Because he had to kill Mullery.

Because Mullery discovered something. Why did Mullery keep it quiet then?

And how did the killer know that he had discovered something?

Good questions.

Sir, I don't care what you have to say, you're not allowed in.

Please, deputy, I am trying to help.

Hobbs, it's okay. I'll deal with him.

What brings you back here, Mr. Mars?

I'm sorry, I never caught your name.

Patrick. Jane.

Patrick.

Patrick.

I don't mean to be self-serving, but I did tell you there would be another

killing. Yes, you did.

Poor Mallory.

Lisbon was actually on the phone with him when he died.

Well, I suppose we owe you an apology. No!

No, no, no, no.

Without doubt, there can be no faith.

All I ask is that you'll listen to me now, with an open mind, now that you

know what I say is true.

Perhaps you can imagine how helpful that can be to you.

Can you imagine that?

Are you trying to hypnotize me?

No.

Patrick, of course not.

That's a little weird. No.

Trying is nothing. Doing is everything. And all I'm doing is asking for you to

let me help you.

I can help you.

You can help us.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Lisbon, Sheriff, you remember Mr. Mars?

Yes. He can help.

Really? He can.

I know you're skeptical, but please, hear him out. I think he'll be very

impressed. I need to run to the store, then we should take him out to Keely's

place to look around.

I'll be right back.

I sense that you're upset.

Oh, really?

Oh, yes, I see.

You were the last person to speak with Sheriff Mullery, weren't you?

Yes.

Oh, I see you were right there when he died.

No, no.

Wait, there, but not there.

You were on the phone with him when he died.

Whoa.

How did you know that?

A psychic.

You kidding me?

Come on.

Sounds good.

What room is that?

It's the bathroom.

Uh-huh.

So, what's the gag? Because this appears to be an absurd waste of time. Yes, it

does, doesn't it?

Wait a bit, though. You'll enjoy the next part.

The mark of a good psychic is the ability to improvise, to use to your

advantage whatever props might come to hand.

What is it, a tooth?

Wolf's tooth.

Where on earth would a wolf's tooth come from?

The killer must have left it here.

It's a sign.

As a clairvoyant, a man of clear sight, if you will, it's my opinion the killer

has a strong lycanthropic complex. He believes he's a werewolf.

Or a wolfman.

Were. being an Anglo-Saxon word for a man. Hence, of course, the monthly

pattern of his crimes. His behavior is driven by the phases of the moon. You're

saying there's a killer out there who turns into a wolf?

Ah, no, no, no.

No, I'm saying there is a killer out there who believes he turns into a wolf,

and so he is a wolf and behaves like one. The mind is a powerful machine. It

can create reality.

Now I think I know what your game is.

Really?

I'd be very surprised if you did. Ouch!

Of course.

You're right. The killer is driven by the phases of the moon. That is

brilliant. How did you work that out?

Simple deduction.

And the last killing didn't break the pattern at all. It simply initiated a

different lunar cycle.

Exactly. So tonight, it's a big night, huh?

Tonight. The moon's at its apogee.

No astrologer, but isn't that a highly charged moment?

It can be. It depends.

Since serial killers always have a very strong urge to return to the scene of

their crimes.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be up in those hills tonight.

That werewolf stuff gives me the creeps.

Well, it's easy to be scared of the unknown.

Would you excuse me?

Oh, of course.

Mr. Mars, can I get one of those?

Here, one of these.

Thank you. Chef Woolgar, do you have any deputies watching over the original

crime scene?

No, why?

Well, I've been thinking about all this wolf stuff, and it occurs to me that

it's very likely that the killer will return to the scene of the crime.

Why? Well, serial killers do, don't they?

Well, some do and some don't.

Someone that thinks they're a wolf will almost certainly return.

Wolves always return to their kills.

They do?

I'll put some men up there.

That's smart.

Good evening. Get in.

What on earth are you doing out here?

I was waiting for the killer.

But he saw me.

He chased me.

That wasn't a killer. That was the police.

And now they probably think you're the killer.

Oh, my God.

It's your fault.

Excuse me?

How so?

Did I tell you to go out there in the middle of the night? No, I did not.

All right. I'll go to the police. I'll explain things to them. It's a

misunderstanding. Yeah, sure they will. They'll only keep you locked up a couple

of days. As long as no angry cops try to take revenge, you'll be fine. Oh, my

God.

Don't worry.

I'll help you.

We can fix this. Okay? Just trust me.

Todd, it's Jane. Meet me at the sheriff's office.

Lisbon.

Lisbon, get dressed. I have an excellent plan motion.

the biggest case this area's had in a long time, and we are running out of

time.

I want him flagged for arrest at all the airports in the area.

What's happening? Found someone?

Yes, Sheriff. We'll go.

Well, then let me talk to someone who can for crying out loud.

Yes, I'll wait.

What's the rumpus?

Bob, it's okay, I promise. I won't do anything crazy. I just want to know.

My guy spotted Ellis Mars creeping around the crime scene.

He ran off when Challenge left his car.

We found dried blood and a long, dark human hair on the back seat.

It's on its way to forensics now.

Ellis Mars, that doesn't make sense.

Oh, we should have realized before.

He knew Lisbon was on the phone with Mullery when he died.

Psychic powers, he said.

Wait, he knew that? How could he know that? Exactly.

He's not psychic.

He was there.

Yeah, but he's been helping you guys.

It's a common psychopathic profile, classic almost.

They seek a part in the investigation, they seek the spotlight.

Well, where is he now?

We don't know.

Hey, this is Acting Sheriff Wolgar, Vineland Township.

Yes.

Count to ten and meet me outside.

Well, what the heck do I have to do to get people at the airport?

Yes, now!

Get in.

Where are we going? You'll see.

Get in.

Tell us Mars is in room 21.

Consider it a gift from a brother-in-arms.

I hope someday someone will do the same for me.

You're messing with me.

I'll show you.

See? Oh, my God.

Go ahead.

What are you waiting for?

This guy cut Kelly's throat and watched her die.

I didn't. Don't bother lying to us, Mars. We found Kelly's blood and hair in

your car.

That's impossible.

What's going on, Todd?

I'm not gonna shoot this guy.

All that talk of revenge was just hot air, was it? You don't have the guts?

Oh, I got the guts, all right.

I just don't know for sure he did it. We have hard evidence against him. Yes, you

do, and I don't understand that.

I guess you're framing him for some reason, but why?

And why would you want me to kill someone who didn't really do it?

What's your game?

Huh?

You're setting me up, aren't you?

Or I'm simply telling you the truth, and Mars is guilty.

No.

No?

And you're sure?

Yeah, well, you're right.

Mars' only crime is foolishness and fraud.

I set him up.

Get out of here.

What's this about?

See, the thing is, Todd, there's only one way you can be so sure of his

innocence.

It was you that killed Keely and Mallory and all of those cops.

You're nuts.

Oh, don't bother with the song, Inez. I'm satisfied you're guilty. You're a

garden-variety psychopath, probably been killing random people here and there for

years. I'm not sure why you turned on cops all of a sudden, but I'm sure you

have your good reasons.

Your dad was a cop, right?

Yes, he was.

He was mean to you, made you hate policemen, maybe?

No. He was a kind and gentle man.

And who was it that made you this way? And please don't say it was your mother.

That'd be too cliched.

No, my mother was a saint.

You're mistaken about me.

Really.

Really?

Oh. Well, let me run it down for you.

You killed Keely because she was getting too clingy.

She was asking too many questions about your other life. She bugged you.

Mallory died because he recognized that button as yours, and he asked you about

it. You stole him.

Then you had to kill him quick.

Broke the monthly pattern, which wasn't about the moon, of course.

Once a month, Heineker got his VA check, goes on a binge, drinks till he blacks

out, and gives you an alibi. How am I doing so far?

You're very clever, Mr. Jane. Thank you.

I must confess, I underestimated you. More like you overestimated yourself,

Tom. You say that only because you don't see the whole big picture. There's a

reason for everything I've done.

What's the big picture?

You'll never know.

Right. There's no big picture.

Oh, trust me.

It would blow your mind.

No firing pin.

Oops. Of course.

Joe! Brigsby!

Drop the weapon!

That's a hit.

You're under arrest.

What is it?

I've changed my mind.

I don't want to talk.

That's a smart move.

But I'll only talk to Mr. Jane.

Why's that?

We have a connection.

Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you.

Tell him I have a secret.

A secret only he will understand.

That's a secret, huh?

That's what he said. That you were the only one who would understand.

That you and he had a connection.

He's just trying to lend an air of mystery to his sad little story of

madness.

The case will go a lot easier if we can get him to talk.

I have spent enough time with that creep.

Staring into the abyss. You know, it's not healthy.

Please.

Just hear what he has to say.

He's right downstairs in the holding cell.

PSU's starting an investigation.

They figure it's somebody getting revenge for Officer Howard.

We'll need to speak with you later today.

Okay.

Doctor says his systems are shutting down.

That he probably won't regain consciousness.

Okay, then.

I'm gonna go finish up the paper.
