All language subtitles for The Detectives (2018) 1x03 - Trick or Treat

In today's age, with social media,

people meet people online.

It's not necessarily a bad thing,

but you definitely have
to take more precautions.

Everybody can lie on the internet.

But when you start
meeting someone in person

after meeting them on social
dating sites and that,

you have to pay attention

to what your senses are telling you.

Almost every single day, we
hear somebody's got lured in,

been sexually assaulted,
something's gone on.

Ah!

Police officer testified...

Shows him to be a huge fan

of the television show, Dexter.

Edmonton is like any
big city in this country.

There's a lot of violent crime,
but this case was unique.

Reporters flew into Edmonton
from all over the world

to get a look at the Dexter Killer.

The lead role in a trial

that's expected to generate
international media attention.

The call came in on a Sunday afternoon.

Unless we've got some special plans,

I'm just sitting on the
couch watching football.

Anstey, why the hell
are you calling me in?

This is a missing person's case.

It wasn't my call.

Murph suspects the worst on this one.

He wanted somebody from
homicide to take a look at it.

Besides, look, there's something
funny stuff with the case.

You know, he may be right.

We may have a murder
on our hands. Come on.

Right away I'm thinking, missing what?

Who, who's calling us out?

Because if it's some
young guy, I'm thinking,

what does this guy know, you know?

So, I'm a little hesitant at the start.

Because homicide doesn't go
out to missing person cases.

His name is John Brian
Altinger, 38 years old.

Oil field pipe inspector.

Born here, moved to BC as a teenager,

then back to Edmonton a few years ago.

He had last been seen on October
10th which was, you know,

nine days before we were
called in from homicide.

The police had started the
investigation two days before,

on the Friday night.

His friend, Dale Smith, called it in

after getting a suspicious
e-mail from John.

A week ago, John goes
out on a date with Jen,

a girl he met on a dating website.

Three days later, Smith gets an e-mail

saying John's decided to take
off for Costa Rica...

with Jen.

"Hey there, I've met an
extraordinary woman named Jen

who has offered to take me on
a nice long tropical vacation.

We'll be staying at her
winter home in Costa Rica,

phone number to follow soon.

I won't be back in town
until December 10th,

but I will be checking
my e-mail periodically.

See you around the holidays. Johnny."

Well, this seems to me that we should be

congratulating Johnny,
not looking for him.

I don't know this guy, I don't
know what his lifestyle's like.

I don't know any of that.

So I'm thinking maybe it is possible.

Maybe he did take off with this,
this girl to, to Costa Rica.

I mean, that's a possibility.

So I'm asking 'em questions.

You know, have you checked the airports?

Have you gone through all those
parking lots and Park 'N Rides

looking for his vehicle?

That's his car. And yes, we
did a full grid search

looking for it. Nothing.

What about his computer?

According to Dale Smith, it's missing.

How would Dale Smith know that?

He broke into his apartment,
he was checking up on him.

Well. Uh, what about
this girl he dated, this Jen?

Couldn't find her profile
on the dating site.

- Ah.
- All we have are the directions

she left for John for where
to meet for their date.

Johnny Altinger on Friday, October 10th,

was going to meet a girl he met online

on one of the dating sites.

So, he went to meet this girl,

but he had e-mailed one of his buddies,

one of his close friends,

the location of where he was going.

And what was odd was, it
was directions to a garage.

The guy who rents the place

let us in to have a quick look.

We did bring him in for an interview.

Ok, well, let's uh,
check out this interview.

So I thought, I'll go watch
the interview of this guy

and see what I think.

I'm looking for signs of deception.

Is he nervous?

All that type of stuff.

I've been renting the garage
for a couple of weeks now.

It's a great little
movie studio, actually.

Movie studio?

The guy's a local filmmaker.

Low budget sci-fi,
horror, stuff like that.

So let me get this straight,

the guy that's renting my
garage was going on a date?

And now he's missing?

It's funny, because
when I let you guys in,

I did notice the lock was tampered with.

But I looked around and
nothing was missing.

You guys looked in the garage?

Yeah. It's like he said,
a little movie set.

He wasn't giving short
answers, he was open, you know,

he's sitting on his chair, he's relaxed.

This Mark guy interviewed really well.

It looks to me like he's
not involved in this.

Well, I've seen all I need to see,

this guy has nothing
to do with this case.

Have you checked John's apartment?

I'll get Ident on it and
see what they can dig up.

I'm going to head to the garage
and see if anything was missed.

The garage is the key.

We believe that he did go to
that garage on October the 10th.

But, we don't know that for sure.

So I wanted to go in and take a look.

It's in the southeast side of the city,

in a residential community
that's middle class, Mill Woods.

Just an average community
you find in any city.

Hi there.

I'm uh, looking for Jen?

Eh, no, no. No Jen here.

There was a Mexican man
living in the house.

The house and garage
were rented separately.

Detective Clark, Edmonton Police.

Do you know a Jen? Any Jen?

And how about this guy?
Have you ever seen him?

They never heard of this guy.

There was no girl named
Jen living there, nothing.

It was weird. It was weird.

Have you noticed any strange
activity back there lately?

Eh, si, uh, muchas luces...

um, many voices.

Filman peliculas aca, you know, movies?

Well, thank you.

Basically, the garage was
nothing out of the ordinary.

Police patrol members had
already been in that garage

the night before.

Mark had let them in, they
had a quick look around.

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

But, they have a different mindset.

I always say as a homicide investigator,

we're preparing this case for court.

You have to do everything right,
there's no cutting corners.

Even though it belonged to
this Mark guy, we thought,

let's just get a search warrant,
this is the last place we

believe this guy has been seen.

Anstey.

Look, I'm going to need to
get into this garage.

While we waited for the
warrant to come through,

my team and I visited
Altinger's apartment

to see if anything came up
that looked unusual.

Hey, Nance!

Hey!

John's place was a mess.

It was, you know, it wasn't tidy,

it was a bachelor pad and
he wasn't too worried about,

you know, impressing anybody.

Wow!

I really love what you've
done with the place.

Very funny.

Could be ransacked.

Clearly, you've never
lived with teenage boys.

I'm serious.

That patio door over there
was used as a point of entry.

And the computer's missing.

Kind of hard to travel without
luggage, don't you think?

There's one thing for sure.

Hey, Nancy.

You're definitely not
leaving the country

in today's day and age
without a valid passport.

That was a telltale sign.

So we knew he hadn't left
the country without that.

All I know is that the minute
I got that e-mail saying he was

going to Costa Rica, I
knew something was wrong.

Dale Smith was very suspicious.

Johnny was a good friend of his.

Dale really thought that
something happened to Johnny.

He wanted to get to the bottom of it,

he wanted to help find his friend.

Did John have any enemies?

Anyone who'd want to hurt him?

No way. No, John's a good dude.

He really cares about people.

He loves paintball and
motorcycles, and computers.

He even convinced me to
buy my first computer.

Ever use it for internet dating?

Me? No, no-no.

That's John's thing.

He's got a bunch of
friends around that stuff.

They swap stories of different
dates they've been on.

But not me. No, no. Can't trust it.

Mm-hm.

Did he ever tell you any stories?

Not usually.

Well, then why would
he decide to call you

right before his date with Jen?

He thought there was
something off about her.

Like, she was very forward, but
wouldn't give her phone number.

He was very excited to meet her, though.

Excited enough to give you
directions before he went.

Well, she gave him directions
instead of an address.

He thought it was weird, so he
wanted to make sure that I knew

where he was going, just in
case something bad happened.

You gotta believe me.

My suspicion is piqued that yeah,

we are now moving into a
homicide investigation here.

We believed that
John had not left the country,

but where was he?

Was he vacationing with
Jen somewhere else?

Was he just at a lake?
He could be anywhere.

But it just didn't make any sense.

What's he writing?

It's a list of people who know Altinger.

He said the Costa Rica e-mail went out

to all of his friends and family.

Well, not all of them.

We just talked to a guy
who considers himself

one of Altinger's best friends.

He never got an e-mail about
Costa Rica or anything.

We need to learn everything
we can about Altinger.

Let's contact everyone on that list.

All right, I'll get the guys on it.

Right, thanks.

I'll go chat with the family.

As a homicide investigator,
talking to the family

of a missing loved one,
it's, it's tough.

You know, I want to give
them all the information,

I know they got a million
questions that I can't answer.

I'm just trying to reassure them
and take the first steps that,

"Hey, we're looking into this.

Honestly, we, we don't
know what we have."

So when was the last time you saw John?

Uh, last, last August.

He drove out here on his
motorcycle after one of those...

failed on-line relationships.

So did he do a lot of on-line dating?

Yeah, sure.

He almost got married
a couple of years ago.

Nice girl.

Bought a ring and everything,
but uh, it didn't work out.

So he was...

looking for love.

Yeah, you could say that, sure.

Do you think that he found it uh, love,

with this uh, Jen girl?

I don't believe he'd run off to
Costa Rica on a whim like that,

no matter who he met.

Why not?

Not like him.

I mean, John's always been a
very caring and connected guy.

You know, he, he's
always there for people.

He just wouldn't take off like that.

You know um, after our
dad died, John came and,

and stayed with our mom...

just to look after her.

I mean, he stayed there for three years.

That's, that's the kind of man he is.

Johnny Altinger, he
was just a decent guy.

Liked by everybody.

You know, just the, uh,
he was just Joe Average.

Would you mind providing us
with a sample of your DNA?

It's a formality. Just in case.

Sure. Whatever you need.

Right. And um, I'll tell
you what, here's my card

just in case there's
anything that you'd like to add.

There's nothing worse than
missing a loved one

and not knowing if
they're alive or dead.

But the whole issue becomes even
larger when you're getting a

call from a homicide detective
and he's telling you that,

"Hey, we're looking into
this disappearance."

It's just gotta be
horrible on the family.

My mother's flying back
from Mexico this weekend.

What do I tell her?

That we're investigating this
as a, a missing person's case.

Then why does your card say 'homicide'?

We need to get into that garage...

where Altinger met his date.

I wrote up a warrant,
but it was refused.

- What?
- They said there was no proof

that a crime had been committed there.

It's like a lightbulb went off, I go,

yeah, we really can't prove
there's been a crime committed,

so you can't get a search warrant

just to go search something.

You're not allowed to go
on fishing expeditions,

you've got to prove there's
a crime been committed

to get a warrant to go in.

So I'm going, oh yeah,
well, that's a smart judge.

Ah, forget it.

What?

We'll just go to the
guy who rents the place

and get the keys.

He gave them to an officer
before, he'll do it again.

So, I phone him up.

I just say, hey, we need
to get in the garage,

we want to have a really good
look around, do you mind?

First time I've ever talked to the guy,

and I've only talked
to him on the phone.

He's Mister Cooperative.

I says, I just need you
to sign a consent form

that we can search the garage.

He goes, oh, not a problem.

I says, I'll send a guy
up there to meet you.

You can give the key, he'll
get you to sign this form

and we'll have a look.

This'll get you in.

Thanks.

Sorry about all the trouble.

No. No trouble at all.

Murphy gets him in his car and...

the case changes.

This is where everything turned.

But could you help me out?

Could you see if your guys
found out anything about my car?

Your car? What about it?

It was broken into a
couple of weeks ago.

I filed a report.

Some stuff was missing. A few receipts.

One was for the garage rental

and the other had my address on it.

So I'm just kind of
worried that, you know,

someone's out there messing with me.

Maybe stealing my identity.

What makes you think that?

Well, a few days after, I
came home with my wife

and our door was unlocked.

Was anything stolen from the house?

No, no.

But I'm just, I'm getting this
impression that I'm being,

I don't know, watched.

- Watched?
- Yeah.

How?

A couple of days ago I'm out
near my garage working on a set,

and this guy taps on my window
and he tells me this story about

how he met this rich girl who's
going to take him on vacation

and she wants him to sell his car.

And she's going to buy him a
new one when they get back.

So he's like, 'you
wanna buy a car?' I'm like,

'I don't have enough money
on me to buy a car.'

And he's like, 'how
much you got in your wallet?'

I say, 'forty bucks.'
He's like, 'Yeah, sold!'

You don't buy a car
for forty dollars. Come on!

I don't care who you are,
this just doesn't make sense.

So it's like, right away, big red flag.

It's like, things aren't right here.

Where is the car that you
bought? Is it here?

No, it's at my friend Joss Hnatiuk's.

It's a stick and I
can't even drive manual,

so I'm keeping it there.

I can give you his
address if you need it.

OK. What kind of car is it?

It's a red Mazda 3.

Exactly the same car as John Altinger.

I says, holy mackerel, we
need to get this guy in.

We need to get him in
here for an interview.

Now Detective Anstey
and I are scrambling:

how do we get this guy down?

Let's ask the guy to just
come down on his own.

He's got his car there
anyway, he's with Murphy,

he's got his own car, let's
tell him to drive down.

He's still working on his statement?

Two hours and counting.

Like he's writing his next movie.

Uh, I better pull up a chair.

So we're waiting and we're
watching and he's writing,

and he's writing, and he's writing.

And he goes page after page, after page.

He writes eight pages!

Thanks, Mark.

So I read it over.

It indicated that he was
producing a film or something,

shooting some type of
short film in this garage.

Well, he just rambles on and
on about the movie-making.

And then the red car is
basically two small paragraphs

on one page.

And that's the big incident.

I'm thinking it's a sign of deception,

he's not telling me the whole
story about the red car.

This is great.

Very detailed.

You're a hell of a writer, Mark.

I try.

Yeah, I just have one question, though.

Why didn't you mention any of this

when you first showed us the garage?

I didn't think it was related.

But then I talked to
my wife and, you know,

she thought I should mention it, so.

You think the guy that sold you
the car for forty dollars

had anything to do with John
Altinger's disappearance?

I don't know.

Looking back on it, yeah,
it sure feels that way.

Look, I feel like an
idiot for having thought

that this car situation
was on the uh, up and up.

So, if it's all the same to you,
I would prefer if I just gave

you the keys to the Mazda
and be done with it.

I brought them with
me, they're in the car.

That sounds great.

Let me just check with my partner,

see if he has any more questions and uh,

we'll get you on your way.

Hello?

Yeah, still here.

What?

Yeah, it turns out that the car

doesn't belong to that missing guy.

It's just a big mess.

I'll be home soon, OK?

I'll call you when I'm on my way.

All right. Bye.

He's lying.

Not what you said last time.

Well, last time there
was no pressure on him.

It was a soft interview. This time,

I'm starting to lean
on him a bit about the car

he bought, and he's starting
to show signs of deception.

I mean, look at him.

Biting his lip, he's got dry mouth...

We can't arrest a guy
for having dry mouth.

Yeah, and you can't buy a
car for forty dollars either.

I'm not arguing with you.

But everything he says checks out.

Them breaking into his car.

Look, he, he filed a
report the very next day.

Yeah, right, someone breaks
into his car to take receipts?

Does that mean they're following him?

They're trying to frame him?

I just think we've got to
be careful here,

we've got nothing to charge him with.

So far, he's been cooperative.

Yeah, well, let's see if he
cooperates enough to confess.

What? Where you going?

Mark, did you have anything to do

with the disappearance of John Altinger?

No!

Because I have no doubt in my mind

that you were involved
in his disappearance.

Why?

Because you're not telling us the truth.

You haven't told us
anything near the truth.

Is this some sort of scare tactic?

Mark, you're not dumb.

You know you can't buy
a car that's worth

over ten grand for forty dollars.

So just tell me what happened to John.

Tell me where he is.

You can't live with this
for the rest of your life.

I want a lawyer.

I took the chance and
pushed the envelope.

In the end, we've got no
evidence, we've got nothing.

Maybe he's not involved.

Maybe I am wrong.

I never want a guy to walk out,
and I'm always thinking that...

we're probably not getting
this guy back in here.

You OK?

We just can't let him walk.

We're just going to
have to cool our jets

until the warrants come through.

I'm getting nowhere with him and
I can't throw anything at him

because I got no evidence.

I was mad.

I was mad because I
didn't get a confession.

Probably my emotions got
a little bit of me there,

but I thought, ah, screw it.

I know you killed that guy,
and I'm coming to get you.

It's just a matter of time.

You want them to feel
out of their element,

because then they start saying things

they probably shouldn't say.

You know, we'd been going
hard all night, I'm tired,

but it's like, you just get a
second rush of adrenaline

and you're pumped now.

Hey!

That's your car?

Keys to the Mazda in there?

Yeah, they're in it.

Then I'm seizing your whole car.

Well, you can't do that.

Sure I can. The Mazda
keys are stolen property.

But I told you I'd give them to you!

Yeah, but possession of stolen property,

probable cause for me to take
your car, and everything in it.

Nah, you need a warrant for that!

Ah, to look through it,
sure. But not to seize it.

Give me your keys.

And he turns and looks
at me and he goes, so,

I just need to get something out of it.

I says, you're getting fuck all
out of that car. I was mad.

Detective Anstey heard
this and he thought

I had to check my ego at the door.

Detective Anstey was right.

But, you know what?

Police work is not rocket
science, it's common sense.

And it made sense to me

that this Mark guy's involved somehow.

I just don't know yet
what his involvement is.

Edmonton Police.

Go away.

Mark isn't here.

He told me not to talk to you.

Well, don't you want to know
why two homicide detectives are

at your door and your husband's
telling you not to talk?

Ah, Detective Clark, Edmonton PD.

Who's the little one?

Chloe.

Chloe. That's a, that's a pretty name.

And you are?

Jess.

Now, Jess, I don't know
what Mark has told you,

but he's involved in something big,

and we're going to have to
seize your house, ma'am.

What? I don't, I don't
understand what's going on.

We're bringing in a team
to search your home.

This detective will
stay until they arrive.

Now, you can stay if you want,
but I would suggest that

you and Chloe leave until the
police have done their job.

Go inside, make sure
nothing gets touched.

Let me know the minute Mark comes home.

Whatever you do, don't
let him in the house.

We, we are getting a search
warrant to search this house.

In the meantime, Mark won't
be allowed to remove anything.

We get a phone call
from Detective Anstey.

He tells us we are getting
a warrant for the garage.

What do you think?

Maybe corn syrup.

They mix it with red
dye to make fake blood.

Yeah, well, we better make
sure that none of it's real.

Mark had told me that these were
the props from his movie set.

It looked like a kill
room from the show Dexter.

I mean, he built a table
just like Dexter had.

And I'm thinking, what
the hell's going on here?

BB gun.

He had knives, meat cleavers.

It was weird.

You could see what looked
like blood and possibly skin,

in the end of that knife.

That real?

Could be.

This is going to take some time.

It looks like someone's already
been doing some housekeeping.

Clark.

Things just aren't sitting right.

It's not a good feeling.

Something bad's happened to John.

Hey.

How you doing, Link?

What's this?

That is a tooth I found in the garage.

I'll run Altinger's dental records.

No, no, Link. That fine, man.

I know you have a lot of
cases, I can handle it.

Uh, Bill, actually, I brought Link in.

I thought we could use the help.

Paul Link was brought in.

Maybe there's something
I'm simply not seeing.

I always tell guys, you've got
to check your ego at the door,

and I had to do a big check there.

Oh. OK.

Did Anstey fill you in?

Yeah. He did.

And he told me his new theory.

Well, look, a lot of people had
access to the garage, right?

Yeah, the crew.

Well, maybe they're
making a snuff film.

- A snuff film?
- Yeah.

Basically, a snuff film is a
film a person would make up

of an actual murder.

They're actually killing
someone and they film it.

It's not fake, it's not
Hollywood, there's no acting,

it's real life and they kill a person.

They film it, and then they
sell the film for big dollars.

Even found a guy online
offering a million dollars

for the real thing.

- A million dollars?
- Yeah.

Great way for Mark and his
crew to raise a lot of money.

We needed to talk to Mark, but
if we ask him to come down

to the station, he's going
to just laugh at us.

OK, well, what about
the guy on the internet

that's offering the million
dollars, can we track him?

Tech's trying.

But it's not easy.

Our best bet's to talk to the crew.

Find out what they've been up to

in this little garage
of horrors of theirs.

We started with Joss Hnatiuk.

He's the one who had the
red Mazda that Mark bought.

Joss was the helper guy on the set

when they were filming
their little movies.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Is this your car?

I hear there's a lot of money
to be made for snuff films.

Uh, I wouldn't know.

I've never seen one.

You ever wonder how Mark
was paying for his movies?

He's a talented guy.

Knows producers in Hollywood. He...

impresses a lot of people.

He told me once he got thirty
grand from some accountant.

Promised him he'd make
a million dollars.

Wow, that's quite a promise.

Yeah. People trust Mark.

So it would seem.

Ah!

Did you work with Mark on the last movie

he shot in his garage?

What was it about?

A killer.

What kind of killer?

One who uses a dating service to
lure some guy into his garage,

and then he... kills him.

How would I see this movie?

I really thought that
we had a snuff film.

They do exist.

Guys like Luka Magnotta, right?

He sold a film of him killing that guy.

Maybe this is the piece
we're looking for

where they've actually
filmed the murder of John.

This is not a snuff film.

And... cut.

Well, that was awesome, guys.

Um, you OK?

I've got to take this. Excuse me.

When did Altinger disappear?

October 10th.

This was filmed two weeks
before John went missing.

This is just one memory card.

We need to see the rest of the footage.

It's at his house.

We have a detective securing the home,

but I can't get in until...

You can get in.

We just got clearance for
warrants on the house

and the car.

I'm going to go pick them up now.

Thanks, Paul.

When we searched Mark's
house, I told them,

make sure you take every hard
drive, every CD, every disk,

anything that can store data.

Make sure we seize it all.

Because I truly was of the belief

that this was a snuff film.

We went through there and we
found all kinds of hard drives.

There were lots of DVDs.

There was a real affinity
to the show Dexter.

He had a lot of books on Dexter.

He had the DVDs of each season.

I'm thinking to myself, we
see all this violence on TV,

it affects people in different ways.

There's no doubt it affects people.

Everything was adding up, but it
still wasn't making any sense.

And then we pulled the
laptop from his car.

And you wouldn't believe what we found.

It's a document that he tried to erase.

It's called "S.K. Confessions." Here.

"This is the story of my progression

into becoming a serial killer..."

The document was detailed
and disturbing.

It definitely seemed like a
confession to Altinger's murder.

"A double detached garage for
rent in the south of the city,

with a house occupied by tenants
who couldn't even read English."

- This is his garage.
- Yeah, yeah.

"Everything I decided,
would take place here."

He talked about everything.

Why he lured the victim,
how he lured him.

He talked about the site.

He talked about using the female
profile, where he got it from.

Everything.

This is a diary.

I mean, all he did was
change the names a little.

I mean, he calls his wife Jess, Tess

and his daughter Chloe, Zoe.

Everything else is real.

It goes into explicit detail and
I'm looking at this document,

reading it, and I remember thinking,

'Wow, this thing is true!'

"The room filled with
the echo of the pipe

crashing into the back of his skull.

He hit the floor but
was still conscious.

I pulled my hunting
knife from its sheath,

and watching the shock on
his face as he saw the blade...

I thrust it into his gut."

Just a total lack of empathy.

I mean, he talks about eating
a bag of chips, you know,

whistling, singing songs while
he's dismembering Johnny.

This, this...

this is sick stuff, I mean.

Anstey, this...

is a full confession.

But in that document, it also
states there was a first victim.

And we're like, whoa!

We're shocked!

Someone that he attacked
and then got away.

Why hasn't anyone come forward?

If the other victim was out
there, we needed to find him.

We've got this document,
S.K. Confessions,

it details the whole murder.

It described luring a
guy on the internet.

Hitting him over the
head with the metal pipe.

Cutting him up.

Driving around with the
body parts in his car.

This guy was a pathological liar.

He's going to say that's
a work of fiction.

But we knew there was another
victim out there who got away.

Finding that victim was huge
to really proving that

that S.K. Confessions document was true.

So we decided to go to the news media.

Police say the victim, John Altinger,

was lured on a dating
website with the promise

of meeting a beautiful woman.

Instead, police theorize
he was met by his killer.

And police are looking for
another would-be victim

who escaped.

The unknown man went to the
same garage to meet a woman,

but was confronted by
a man in a hockey mask.

Detective Anstey went in the
media and showed the mask,

and the very next morning,
I got a phone call from

Gilles Tetreault, and uh, he
came down to the station.

She was a bit forward.

Always asking if I wanted to meet.

Then she gave me directions
instead of an address.

Uh, I thought that was odd, but
I still wanted to meet her.

It was, without a doubt,

the most riveting witness
interview I've had in my career.

The story was exactly the
same as John Altinger.

He met a girl online.

So when I got out of the car,

I should have been
scoping the place first,

but I was rushing,
thinking that I was late

and she was going to be upset.

And out of nowhere, this
guys just tasers me.

Agh!

He grabs me and he pulls
me through the side door.

I'm thinking he's going to kill me.

Don't move.

Just let me go, OK? You
can take whatever you want,

Shut up! you can take my wallet!

And then I tell myself,
no, not like this.

I was so weak I couldn't run.

Help!

And I knew, if he gets me back
inside, I'm as good as dead.

When I got home...

I went on the dating site,
but the profile, the messages,

they were gone.

Just vanished.

I had read that S.K. Confessions
document multiple times by now.

I knew that document inside and out.

Everything Gilles told
me was exactly the same.

So what took you so
long to come forward?

I was scared.

Ashamed.

To think that I was attacked in
the same way, at the same place,

just one week before the missing man.

And...

that'll haunt me to the day I die.

I could have done something.

I should have done something.

Behind the police tape and garage doors,

a chilling scene of what
could be life imitating art.

A homicide police say
was literally scripted,

then carried out by
an Edmonton filmmaker.

Mark Twitchell's real life-diary,

detailing his descent
into the world of murder.

Facebook page shows him to be a huge fan

of the television show Dexter.

He bears an eerie physical resemblance

to the main character...

...where the gruesome writings

of how a man was lured to
a garage to meet a date.

We've now arrested him
for first degree murder.

So preplanned meditated murder.

And we've got a mountain of evidence.

Everything's tested
positive for Johnny's blood.

A strong, strong case.

We found John's blood everywhere.

In your garage, both cars,
your house, your clothes.

The evidence is overwhelming.

And we put away guys with five
percent of what we have on you,

so thanks for making it easy for us.

We realized from the
S.K. Confessions document,

he got rid of the body down a sewer

in an eastern suburb of Edmonton.

So I thought, we'll put him
in the car, we'll film him.

Let's take him for a drive

to see if he'll point
out the body to us.

We know what you did with Altinger.

We can't do anything about that,
but you can do the right thing.

Tell us where you dumped the body.

We weren't going to
play on his emotions,

it wasn't going to work.

People like Mark don't care.

Which sewer was it, Mark?

You can end this now.

He wouldn't give us anything.

He wouldn't give up the body.

Eighteen months since the
murder and out of the blue,

we get a phone call to our office

from Mark Twitchell's lawyer.

It was two blocks from
Twitchell's parents' home,

and half a block from a section of sewer

searched exhaustively early
in the investigation.

It's been the worst.

It's been the worst.

There's nothing else can be said.

There'll never be closure, but
it goes on to the next step,

I think, to start to heal
if, if that's possible.

I truly think to this day that
Mark Twitchell wanted to know

what it was like to kill someone.

He had his mind made up
long before he saw Dexter.

It kind of overshadowed
the whole incident,

and it shouldn't have.

John Altinger, he was a good guy.

I've tried my best not
to let it affect me,

but I've seen the other side.

And when you see that other
side, you do feel sorry,

you have more empathy for
these victims' families

and see what it can do to them.
It tears them apart.
