IN ALL TRIBAL CULTURES, EVERY VILLAGE HAD A SENTINEL.

NOW, A SENTINEL IS CHOSEN

BECAUSE OF A GENETIC ADVANTAGE,

A SENSORY AWARENESS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED

BEYOND NORMAL HUMANS.

YOUR TIME SPENT IN PERU HAS GOT TO BE CONNECTED

WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU NOW.

I'VE GOT HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES

OF 1 OR 2 HYPERACTIVE SENSES,

BUT NOT ONE SINGLE SUBJECT WITH ALL 5.

YOU COULD BE THE REAL THING.

I WANTED TO LEAVE AT THE 2-MINUTE WARNING.

WE WERE UP 20 POINTS, BUT YOU HAD TO STAY TILL THE END.

WHO CARES, MAN, WE WON.

CODE 2-4, VICTOR 12.

609 THERE NOW, SCREAMING WOMAN.

3328 ANTHOL STREET, APARTMENT B.

REPORTING PARTY AT LOCATION.

ONE-ZEBRA-ONE, SHOW ME HANDLING THE CALL.

WHAT'S A 609, ANYWAY?

A PROWLER.

POLICE! ANYBODY HOME?

HELLO?

OH.

OH, MAN.

IS THERE ANY CHANCE THIS VICTIM WAS STRANGLED?

NO. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER REPORTS NO SIGNS OF TRAUMA TO HER NECK.

HEMORRHAGES IN HER LUNGS INDICATE DROWNING.

WHAT ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT? NO.

CHECK THIS OUT.

SUSAN FRASIER WAS DEAD AT LEAST 12 HOURS BEFORE SANDBURG AND I FOUND HER.

THEN WHO THE HELL MADE THE 911 CALL?

GOT ME.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, YOUR REPORT SAYS

THAT HER PICTURE FRAMES WERE EMPTY,

JEWELRY BOX RIFLED,

GARMENTS REMOVED FROM HER CLOSET.

TROPHIES FROM THE KILL.

IT'S THE SAME M.O. HMM.

YELLOW SCARVES, TROPHIES, DROWNED IN THE BATHTUB.

THIRD VICTIM IN 3 MONTHS.

ADAM WALKER.

AGE 36, KNOWN DOPE DEALER, CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR.

BILLY BRIGHT. AGE 20, UNDERGROUND MUSICIAN.

NO WITNESSES, NO SUSPECTS.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, UNTIL WE GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS,

I WANT A TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT.

RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A PROFILE ON OUR KILLER.

LET'S NOT SCARE THE HELL OUT OF EVERYBODY.

LAST THING WE WANT ON OUR HANDS

IS A PANICKED CITY.

YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL.

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO NOTICE.

I'M NOTICING NOW, HUH?

HMM.

WHAT IS IT? DID I DO SOMETHING?

NO. NO.

IT'S JUST, UH... JUST WHAT?

IT'S THE OTHER NIGHT, I, UH...

THERE WAS THIS WOMAN, AND SHE--

LOOK, ARE YOU SEEING SOMEONE ELSE?

NO.

YEAH, RIGHT. WHO WAS IT, AN EX-GIRLFRIEND?

I KNEW THIS RELATIONSHIP WAS A MISTAKE.

CHRIS, WAIT. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SHE WAS DEAD.

SHE WAS MURDERED.

DROWNED IN HER TUB

AND IT WAS AWFUL.

HER MOUTH WAS OPEN. IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS SCREAMING,

AND HER EYES, MAN.

I'LL NEVER FORGET THOSE EYES.

GOD, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE FOR YOU.

I--I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF IT WAS SOMEONE I KNEW,

OR CARED ABOUT?

UH, JIM.

SANDBURG, WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

WHAT--WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE FRONT...

HELLO, THERE.

I'M JIM ELLISON. I LIVE HERE.

UH, JIM, THIS IS CHRISTINE HONG.

CHRIS, THIS IS JIM, MY ROOMMATE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU LIVED ALONE.

NO. I SAID WE'D BE ALONE.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST CALL IT A NIGHT.

THINGS ARE GETTING WAY TOO COMPLICATED HERE.

COME ON, CHRIS, JUST, UH...

LET ME EXPLAIN.

I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.

BYE.

GREAT.

THANKS A LOT, JIM.

I'M JUST NOT USED TO KNOCKING AT MY OWN FRONT DOOR.

AH, I'M SORRY I SNAPPED.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. THIS WHOLE NIGHT WAS A DISASTER ANYWAY.

I-- I COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT SUSAN FRASIER.

YEAH. MURDER VICTIMS TEND TO GET THE BEST OF US.

YOU GOTTA LEARN TO SEPARATE YOURSELF.

OH, YEAH. RIGHT. JUST CHECK MY HUMANITY AT THE DOOR?

WHATEVER IT TAKES TO STAY PRESENT.

WHAT IF THE KILLER HAD STILL BEEN AT THE SCENE, HMM?

IF YOUR EMOTIONS ARE IN THE WAY,

YOU'RE USELESS,

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HANG WITH COPS,

YOU GOTTA LEARN TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

'CAUSE YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS ARE GOING TO DEPEND ON IT.

DETECTIVE ELLISON, DON HASS, KCDE NEWS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE MURDER VICTIM YOU FOUND TUESDAY NIGHT?

SO MUCH FOR THE BLACKOUT.

MY SOURCES SAY IT COULD BE THE WORK OF A SERIAL KILLER.

WELL, SINCE YOUR SOURCES SEEM TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK THEM?

DETECTIVE ELLISON, WHAT ABOUT THE MURDER VICTIM'S 911 TAPES?

ARE YOU GOING TO BE RELEASING THEM ANYTIME SOON?

DON HASS HERE, REPORTING LIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE CASCADE POLICE BUILDING.

THIS IS THE 911 CALL MADE FROM SUSAN FRASIER'S PHONE THE NIGHT SHE WAS KILLED.

EMERGENCY 911.

HELP! HELP! THERE'S A MAN HERE.

HE--HE--HE'S TRYING TO GET IN.

PLEASE, HELP ME! HELP ME!

AND THIS IS HER ANSWERING MACHINE MESSAGE.

HI, EVERYBODY, IT'S SUSAN.

IF I COULD COME TO THE PHONE, I WOULD.

BUT SINCE I CAN'T, I WON'T. SO PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE, AND IF YOU DON'T,

I WON'T CALL YOU BACK.

THE 911 CALL IS SO DISTORTED,

IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL IF IT'S THE SAME VOICE.

PLAY THE 911 CALL ONE MORE TIME.

EMERGENCY 911.

HELP! HELP! THERE'S A MAN HERE.

HE--HE--HE'S TRYING TO GET IN.

PLEASE, HELP ME! HELP ME!

OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD! HERE HE COMES!

OH, NO, HE'S TRYING TO GET IN!

THOSE ARE 2 DIFFERENT VOICES.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?

I--I CAN JUST TELL. THEY--THEY ARE.

HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

I HAVE EVERY NEWS WIRE IN THE WORLD WANTING A STATEMENT.

WE GOT A LEAK HERE SOMEWHERE, JIM.

WE GOT TO PLUG IT.

NOW, WHO ELSE KNOWS ALL THE DETAILS BESIDES US?

JUST SANDBURG.

COULD IT BE HIM? I MEAN, HE IS NEW AT THIS. MAYBE HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND--

HE UNDERSTANDS FINE.

YEAH, WELL, JUST HAVE A TALK WITH HIM, JUST IN CASE, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT?

THE 911 CALLER'S OUR KILLER.

WE'LL HAVE TO RUN A VOICEPRINT ANALYSIS TO VERIFY THAT.

WITH SUSAN FRASIER DEAD, IT'S OUR ONLY POSSIBILITY.

WHICH MEANS THE KILLER THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A WOMAN.

SHE COULD BE IN AN OPEN CASKET.

YOU GONNA BE OK WITH THAT?

YEAH. YEAH, I'LL BE FINE, REALLY.

SERIAL KILLERS OFTEN LIKE TO STAY AROUND,

HANG OUT AND ADMIRE THEIR WORK.

SOMETIMES EVEN TAUNT YOU TO CATCH THEM, SO STAY ALERT.

DETECTIVE? JUST KEEP MOVING.

DETECTIVE ELLISON, MY SOURCES REPORT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY

THE KILLER WHO PLACED THE VICTIM'S 911 CALL. ANY COMMENT?

YEAH. I'M LATE FOR CHURCH.

CAN YOU VERIFY THAT, SIR?

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE FORTH,

THAT THOU MAY GLORIFY OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN.

FOR GOD HAS BLESSED THEE, FOREVER THY THRONE.

BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART

FOR THEY SHALL DWELL IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOREVER.

BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HUNGER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

FOR THEY SHALL BE FILLED WITH THY LOVE

FROM EVERLASTING AND TO EVERLASTING.

AMEN.

AMEN.

I INVITE YOU TO APPROACH OUR DEAR DEPARTED

SO THAT SHE MAY MAKE HER FINAL JOURNEY IN PEACE.

WHAT THE HELL?

ROLL THE CAMERA. GET SOME FOOTAGE OF THIS.

LADY!

KEEP IT ROLLING. KEEP ON THE CAR.

MA'AM, JUST ONE QUESTION.

STAY WITH IT.

KEEP ROLLING.

WHO IS THAT?

DAMN IT!

POLICE! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

SHE ESCAPES YOU AT THE CHURCH,

YOU LOSE HER AT THE BRIDGE,

AND SHE'S WHAT, A HIGH-HEELED WOMAN?

I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE IN THE WATER, SIR.

YOU KNOW THE STRETCH OF THAT RIVER THERE.

THE CURRENTS ARE DEADLY.

I--I DIDN'T THINK SHE HAD A CHANCE.

YEAH, WELL, HARBOR PATROL DRAGGED THE RIVER ALL NIGHT LONG

AND THEY DID NOT FIND A BODY.

AND UNTIL THEY DO, THIS CASE IS STILL OPEN.

AND WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT SANDBURG TIPPING OFF THE SUSPECT AT THE CHURCH?

I'M THE ONE WHO BLEW IT, SIR. IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

LOOK, I KNOW THE KID HELPS YOU WITH THIS SENTINEL THING

BUT HE IS NOT ONE OF US.

MAYBE IT'S TIME YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT CUTTING HIM LOOSE.

NO, SIR. I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH THAT CALL.

BLAIR UNDERSTANDS WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

YOU REALLY TRUST THIS KID?

YES, SIR, I DO.

LOOK, I'VE HAD TO CALL IN SOME HELP ON THIS CASE.

SIMON, I CAN HANDLE THIS CASE.

WHAT YOU AND I KNOW ABOUT SERIAL KILLERS WOULDN'T FILL A COFFEE CUP.

NOW, WE NEED SOME EXPERT ADVICE.

SIR, IF YOU WOULD JUST GIVE ME A-- A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THAT--THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR. I--I KNOW WE CAN CRACK THIS CASE.

JIM, FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, WILL YOU LEAVE YOUR PRIDE AT THE DESK?

IF THIS WOMAN IS OUT THERE, SHE'S DANGEROUS.

THIS IS A WASH. YEAH.

THANKS. HMM.

DR. BATES, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET DETECTIVE JIM ELLISON.

JIM, THIS IS DR. ANTHONY BATES.

TONY, PLEASE. I READ YOUR REPORT.

DR. BATES IS WITH THE F.B.I.'S SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE.

HE'S ONE OF THEIR TOP FORENSIC PSYCHIATRISTS.

ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU WORK WITH HIM.

YOUR FORENSIC INVESTIGATION WAS THOROUGH ENOUGH, DETECTIVE,

BUT I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS MORE

ON THE SIGNATURE OF THE KILLER.

YOU MEAN, THE YELLOW SCARVES.

YEAH, BUT THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE ELEMENTS.

WE REALLY HAVE TO ANALYZE THE REST

SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO RECONSTRUCT

THE PRECISE PSYCHOLOGICAL DYNAMICS

AND INFER A PROFILE OF THE SUSPECT.

UH...

A KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPOSITE DRAWING,

SO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE. UM...

WHAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN, DETECTIVE,

IS THE EXACT MURDER RITUAL.

THE VICTIM IS DROWNED IN A BATHTUB.

PERSONAL ITEMS ARE MISSING.

AND A YELLOW SCARF IS LEFT BEHIND.

AS TO THE VICTIMS THEMSELVES, IT APPEARS THAT...

WELL, SHE HAS NO PATTERN IN HER SELECTION.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S... I'D SAY IT'S RANDOM.

HMM.

DETECTIVE, IN CASES LIKE THIS, NOTHING IS RANDOM.

DID WE REALLY PROMISE THIS DON HASS GUY A HOT TIP

IN RETURN FOR THIS VIDEO?

BETTER HE GETS IT FROM US ON OUR TERMS

THAN FROM HIS SOURCE.

YOU KNOW, THE CAPTAIN IS PRETTY WORRIED ABOUT THIS LEAK.

YEAH.

HE THINKS IT MIGHT BE YOU.

COME ON, YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT, DO YOU?

ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT I DON'T WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT THIS CASE TO ANYBODY.

THIS IS 'CAUSE I SCREWED UP AT THE CHURCH THE OTHER DAY, RIGHT?

NOW YOU'RE ALL PISSED OFF AT ME.

I'M NOT PISSED OFF.

JIM, I PROMISE YOU NOTHING LIKE THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

WHAT THE HELL?

ROLL THE CAMERA.

GET SOME FOOTAGE OF THIS. LADY!

FREEZE IT RIGHT THERE.

WHAT? WHAT IS IT?

LOOK AT THE HAIR.

SUSAN FRASIER.

RIGHT. THE KILLER DRIVES THE VICTIM'S CAR.

HAS THE SAME HAIRSTYLE. PLAY THE TAPE.

GET SOME FOOTAGE OF THIS. KEEP ON THE CAR.

DAMN, IF WE COULD ONLY SEE HER FACE.

ROLL THE CAMERA.

FREEZE IT RIGHT THERE. NOW BACK IT UP A LITTLE BIT.

RIGHT THERE. YOU SEE IT?

WHAT?

HOW MANY WOMEN DO YOU KNOW THAT HAVE ADAM'S APPLES?

YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHICH MEANS OUR SHE IS A HE.

WAIT A MINUTE. SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR A GUY

WHO LIKES TO DRESS UP AS A WOMAN?

I'M GONNA HAVE TO REEXAMINE THE FIRST 2 HOMICIDES.

IF OUR KILLER'S A TRANSVESTITE,

MAYBE SOMEBODY SAW SOMETHING.

I'VE GOT TO GET THIS TAPE OVER TO CAROLYN

FOR SOME FRAME BLOWUPS.

NOW, TOMORROW, WE'RE GONNA PAY A VISIT

TO ADAM WALKER'S OLD NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEN WE'RE GONNA CHECK INTO THIS BILLY BRIGHT HERE.

UH, HE USED TO PLAY IN A BAND AT A PLACE CALLED CLUB DOOM.

YOU'RE GOING TO CLUB DOOM?

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?

WHOA, THE DOOM'S AN UNDERGROUND CLUB.

AND YOU ARE, LIKE, CLEARLY LABELED "COP."

I MEAN, I COULD GO IN THERE AND ASK A FEW QUESTIONS...

NO, NO WAY. NOT WITHOUT ME.

JIM, I CAN BLEND IN. YOU CAN'T.

I SAID, NO WAY. IT'S TOO RISKY.

CHRIS.

I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT.

PROVE IT.

BUT FROM NOW ON BE STRAIGHT WITH ME, OK?

ABSOLUTELY.

SO TELL ME,

WHAT ARE WE DOING AT THE DOOM

10 MINUTES BEFORE THEY BOLT THE DOOR?

I'M INVESTIGATING A MURDER.

WHAT?

YOU REMEMBER MY ROOMMATE?

WELL, HE'S A COP AND I'M SORT OF WORKING WITH HIM.

IS THIS ABOUT THE DEAD BODY YOU SAW?

EXACTLY.

SO I WANT TO GO INSIDE AND HELP HIM OUT

AND TRY TO FIND A CLUE ABOUT WHO THE KILLER IS.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO PROMISE ME THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS.

SCOUT'S HONOR.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. LET'S GO.

IN THE LATEST TWIST IN CASCADE'S

BRUTAL AND MYSTIFYING FEMALE SERIAL KILLER CASE,

CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES REPORT

THAT THE POLICE ARE NO LONGER LOOKING FOR A WOMAN

BUT A TRANSVESTITE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

OK, I'VE GOT THIS WHOLE THING FIGURED OUT.

DON'T YOU KNOCK?

UH, RIGHT. SORRY, SIMON.

YOU SEE, THE KILLER'S DEAL IS, IS THAT HE TRADES IDENTITIES WITH HIS VICTIMS.

I JUST HAD A TALK WITH BILLY BRIGHT'S BAND OVER AT CLUB DOOM,

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE NIGHT BILLY WAS KILLED,

HE BOUGHT SOME DOPE FROM A GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR.

THAT GUY.

ADAM WALKER?

RIGHT, MURDER VICTIM NUMBER ONE.

ONLY WALKER HAD BEEN DEAD FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS.

REMARKABLE.

UH, I'M TONY BATES.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING? UH, BLAIR SANDBURG.

HE'S AN ADVISOR TO THE DEPARTMENT.

AN ADVISOR WHO DOESN'T DO WHAT HE'S TOLD TO.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE MONEY ABOUT THIS.

WHAT?

WELL, WE MAY BE DEALING WITH A-- A SUSPECT WHO HAS SUCH A WEAK SENSE OF SELF

THAT HE FIXATES ON A PERSON, KILLS THEM,

AND THEN ASSUMES THEIR PERSONALITY.

HE KILLS WALKER AND ASSUMES THE IDENTITY OF A DOPE DEALER IN A WHEELCHAIR,

AND THEN HE KILLS BRIGHT AND ASSUMES HIS IDENTITY, AND THEN SUSAN FRASIER.

EXACTLY, THINK OF IT AS A PROCESS OF PSYCHIC INGESTION.

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

UH, LIKE AZTEC WARRIORS USED TO EAT THE HEART OF THEIR ENEMIES

BECAUSE THEY WOULD BELIEVE THAT WOULD ENHANCE THEIR PROWESS IN WAR.

IT'S TRUE.

WHAT WE MAY BE FACING HERE IS A SIMILAR PSYCHOLOGICAL BELIEF.

ONLY OUR KILLER IS HARDLY A WARRIOR.

I BELIEVE THAT HE'S AN ABJECT LONER,

FROM A BROKEN HOME,

HISTORY OF SEVERE NEGLECT,

POSSIBLY CHILD ABUSE.

IT'S-- IT'S ALL THEORY. NOTHING BUT THEORY.

I NEED SOME SUSPECTS.

YEAH.

THANKS.

WE HAVE OURSELVES ANOTHER PROWLER.

THIS TIME AT THE MARITIME MUSEUM.

IT'S A FEMALE.

SHE FITS THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR KILLER.

ARE YOU OK, MA'AM?

OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.

THE MUSEUM'S CLOSED. I WAS LOCKING UP

AND THEN I SAW THIS FACE.

IT WAS LEERING AT ME THROUGH THE WINDOW.

IT WAS A WOMAN'S FACE.

MA'AM, COULD YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT DOOR, PLEASE?

DETECTIVE ELLISON,

ANY STATEMENT ON THAT TRANSVESTITE THAT YOU APPREHENDED LAST NIGHT?

COME ON, YOU GUYS. WHAT ABOUT OUR DEAL?

YOU OWE ME A HOT TIP, REMEMBER?

OK. SINCE YOU SEEM TO KNOW MORE

ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION THAN WE DO,

I GOT A TIP FOR YOU, DON.

YOU'RE UNDER SUSPICION FOR 3 MURDERS.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?

THAT'S FUNNY. VERY FUNNY.

WAYNE UNDERWOOD, CAREER JUNKIE.

HE'S BEEN UP A DOZEN TIMES OR SO FOR USING.

NOW, CLAIMS HE WAS PAID TO STALK THAT MUSEUM WORKER

BY SOME PLAIN-LOOKING LADY.

WELL, THAT WAS OUR KILLER

AND HE'S OBVIOUSLY TAUNTING YOU.

SO, THERE'S NO CHANCE THAT THIS GUY IS OUR KILLER?

NONE. UNDERWOOD WAS IN A DETOX TANK THE NIGHT THAT SUSAN FRASIER DIED.

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE, SIMON.

FORENSICS PULLED THEM FROM SUSAN FRASIER'S JAGUAR,

AND WE'VE GOT A MATCH.

YEAH, SEVERE HEAD CASE.

ESCAPED A CALIFORNIA MENTAL INSTITUTION 3 MONTHS AGO.

HIS NAME'S DAVID LASH.

3 MONTHS?

NOW THAT'S THE SAME TIME ADAM WALKER WAS KILLED.

I'VE SUBPOENAED THE PATIENT'S FILES FROM WATSONVILLE.

OH, GOOD, THIS MAY FINALLY BE THE BREAK THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

NICE WORK, DETECTIVE.

YOU, TOO, BLAIR. VERY IMPRESSIVE FIELDWORK.

THANKS.

BEAKER ONE, WATER TAKEN FROM SUSAN FRASIER'S STOMACH.

0.5% SALINITY.

BEAKER 2, TAP WATER FROM HER APARTMENT.

0.3%.

THEY'RE NOT FROM THE SAME SOURCE.

SUSAN FRASIER WAS DROWNED SOMEWHERE ELSE

AND DUMPED IN HER BATHTUB.

RIGHT.

AND THE OTHER VICTIMS?

WATER IN ALL THEIR STOMACHS, 0.5%.

IT'S A MATCH.

HE KILLS THEM ALL IN THE SAME PLACE.

TRICHLOROETHANOL. IT'S, UH, CHLORAL HYDRATE.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER FOUND 3 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER IN ALL 3 VICTIMS' BLOOD.

SO, THEY'RE UNCONSCIOUS WHEN HE DROWNS THEM?

AWAKE.

HE USES JUST ENOUGH TO SUBDUE THEM.

THEN HE MOVES THEM TO THE KILL SITE.

THE DRUG IS SHORT-ACTING.

THE DEATH, LONG-SUFFERING.

I'M GONNA NEED MORE ON THIS WATER.

THIS GUY'S KILLING PEOPLE AND IT'S A GAME TO HIM.

I FIGURE IF I CAN FIGURE OUT THE GAME,

I'LL-- I'LL KNOW WHAT HIS NEXT MOVE IS.

DR. BATES, JUST GOT A CALL.

LASH'S PATIENT FILE IS JUST COMING THROUGH ON THE MODEM.

GREAT. MAYBE THIS TIME THEN WE'LL GET THERE AHEAD OF HIM.

MAYBE. I'LL-- I'LL MEET YOU IN THE CAPTAIN'S OFFICE. OK.

EXCUSE ME.

"PATIENT EXHIBITS SYMPTOMS

"OF MULTIPLE DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER.

"HIS PRIMARY IDENTITY IS PASSIVE, EXTREMELY ISOLATED, DEPRESSED.

"ALTERNATE IDENTITIES, HOWEVER, ARE CONTROLLING AND AGGRESSIVE,

"OFTEN ABSORBED FROM PEOPLE IN HIS PROXIMITY.

OCCURRING IN SUDDEN SHIFTS AND FOR PERIODS OF SHORT DURATION."

I DON'T KNOW, JIM. BATES WAS RIGHT ON WITH LASH'S DIAGNOSIS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE IN HIS FILE.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

THE DIAGNOSIS IS SIGNED "DR. BATES."

BATES WAS LASH'S PSYCHIATRIST?

HE'S TREATING THE SON OF A BITCH.

WELL, WHY WOULDN'T HE LET US KNOW THAT?

OUR DR. BATES IS DAVID LASH.

AH, CHRIST!

THIS IS CAPTAIN BANKS.

WE HAVE A BUILDING EMERGENCY. SEAL ALL THE EXITS NOW!

JIM, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

OH, MAN. LET'S GO.

JIM?

I'LL TAKE THE STAIRS.

JIM, THE STAIRS CLEAR?

YEAH. I'M CHECKING THE STREET.

ALL RIGHT, I WANT A FLOOR-BY-FLOOR LOCKDOWN.

CASCADE'S NOTORIOUS SERIAL KILLER HAS CLAIMED A 4TH VICTIM,

F.B.I. FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST DR. ANTHONY BATES.

DR. BATES, AN EXPERT ON SERIAL KILLERS,

WAS IN TOWN TO ASSIST THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR IN THE CASE,

DETECTIVE JAMES ELLISON.

INCREDIBLY,

WHILE DR. BATES LAY DECOMPOSING IN A BATHTUB FOR 3 DAYS,

THE KILLER WAS ACTUALLY MASQUERADING AS THE EXPERT

CONFERRING WITH THE VERY OFFICERS

WHO WERE SUPPOSEDLY PURSUING HIM.

MAKES YOU WONDER WHO'S MINDING THE STORE.

DON HASS, KCDE NEWS, LIVE.

HE WAS TAUNTING US.

SITTING RIGHT THERE, DARING US TO CATCH HIM THE WHOLE TIME.

GIVING TIMELINES.

HANG ON A SECOND. WE ONLY JUST ESTABLISHED BATES' TIME IN THE BATHTUB.

AND WE'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW?

LASH WAS FEEDING THE INFORMATION TO HASS HIMSELF.

THERE'S YOUR LEAK.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR SON, MR. LASH?

HEY, DAVEY WAS A STRANGE LITTLE EGG, I'LL TELL YOU.

ME AND THE MAMA,

WE COULD NEVER CONNECT WITH HIM, YOU KNOW?

SHE'D GO TO HOLD HIM, HE'D CRY EVERY TIME.

I FIGURED MAYBE HE NEEDS A PAL OR SOMETHING.

SO I BAGGED US THIS--THIS LITTLE MALLARD FROM A LAKE BY WHERE WE WAS LIVIN'.

IT WAS CUTE. WE CALLED IT HOMER.

DAVEY CHOKED IT TO DEATH. KEPT HIM IN HIS ROOM FOR DAYS.

DAVEY'S LITTLE BROTHER, JIMMY?

HE WAS SOMETHIN' ELSE.

AND MAMA USED TO SAY,

"THE SUN SHINED IN THAT KID'S EYES."

YOU SAID "JIMMY." WHERE IS HE NOW?

HE'S DEAD.

ON HIS FIFTH BIRTHDAY, FOUND HIM IN HIS BED.

THE DOC SAYS, "IT JUST HAPPENS SOMETIMES."

I SAYS, "GOD TOOK THE WRONG BOY."

THE DAMNEDEST THING AFTER THAT,

DAVEY, HE STARTS PRETENDIN' HE'S JIMMY.

DOES THE COLOR YELLOW MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

YEAH, MY WIFE'S FAVORITE COLOR.

EVERYTHING IN THE DAMN HOUSE WAS YELLOW.

WHERE IS YOUR WIFE? COULD WE SPEAK TO HER?

SHE STARTED DRINKING HEAVY AFTER JIMMY DIED.

SHE SAYS EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT.

WE GOT DIVORCED. I AIN'T SEEN HER SINCE.

SO WHO GOT CUSTODY?

JUDGE MADE HER TAKE HIM.

HOW'D SHE TREAT HIM?

SHE'D LOCK HIM IN HIS ROOM FOR DAYS.

WHEN SHE WAS GOING OUT, YOU KNOW,

WITH--WITH HER FRIENDS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, MEN?

YEAH, WHATEVER.

HE'D CRY AND CRY, YOU KNOW?

HE STARTED SMEARING FILTH ON HIMSELF.

HIS MAMA'D PUNISH HIM SOMETHING FIERCE.

SHE'D GIVE HIM HOT BATHS,

SCRUBBIN' HIM AND SCRUBBIN' HIM

LIKE SHE COULD CLEAN HIM ON THE INSIDE.

AND YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS.

THE BOY WAS A DEVIL.

I WAS HOPING SHE WOULD KILL HIM.

NOW, BANKS WAS THINKING

THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE DEPARTMENT.

AND THEN JIM FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY THE KILLER

WHO WAS FEEDING THIS INFORMATION TO THIS HASS GUY.

CRAZY.

YOU KNOW, FOR A WHILE THERE, I ACTUALLY...

I THOUGHT THE LEAK...

WELL, THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOU.

HEY, YOU WANNA CATCH A MOVIE?

I HEARD THEY GOT THIS ITALIAN NEOREALIST RETROSPECTIVE OVER AT THE CINE-ART.

SOME OTHER TIME. TAXI.

CHRIS. CHRIS, WHAT'S WRONG?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ME.

I DIDN'T REALLY THINK IT WAS YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT WE-- WE'VE HAD SO MUCH PRESSURE.

LOOK, I WAS THERE FOR YOU,

AND YOU NEVER TRUSTED ME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT, BLAIR?

IT REALLY HURTS.

I KNOW. COME ON, CHRIS, CAN'T WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

CAN I CALL YOU LATER?

MAYBE I'LL CALL YOU.

JUST RELAX.

RELAX.

OH, MAN, JUST CALM DOWN.

IT'S OK, IT'S OK.

RING!

COME ON, PLEASE!

BLAIR?

JIM, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

I LET THAT CREEP SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS TOO MANY TIMES, CAROLYN.

UH, WHAT ABOUT THE WATER? DID YOU COME UP WITH ANYTHING ABOUT THE WATER?

WE FOUND SOME CONTAMINATION. IT COULD BE WASTE.

LIKE FROM A SEWER?

MAYBE. I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE YET.

WHAT ABOUT SUSAN FRASIER'S CLOTHES? ANYTHING?

NOTHING.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING TO HEAD OVER TO HER HOUSE.

MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WE MISSED. I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

IT'S DOWN.

WHAT, A FEATHER?

DOWN?

CAROLYN, GIVE ME THAT WATER IN--IN THE BEAKER.

JUST GET IT.

WHERE YOU GOING WITH THIS, JIM? AND--AND BREAK THE SEAL.

I CAN'T, JIM.

OXYGEN WILL CONTAMINATE THE SAMPLE. IT'LL BE USELESS AS EVIDENCE.

SANDBURG'S LIFE IS AT STAKE.

WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY DO WITH THIS WATER?

WOULD YOU JUST BREAK THE SEAL? NOW, COME ON, SIMON. PLEASE.

BREAK THE SEAL. I'LL BE RESPONSIBLE.

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT WASTE.

IT SMELLS LIKE BIRD WASTE.

BIRD WASTE?

DUCK WASTE. DOWN.

YOU GOT A DOWN FEATHER, RIGHT?

HE'S-- HE'S DROWNING HIS VICTIMS IN A DUCK POND.

OH, NO, THAT'S A REACH, JIM.

SIMON'S RIGHT. WE CAN'T ASSUME ANYTHING JUST BECAUSE YOU SMELL IT.

UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, THIS IS ALL WE'VE GOT.

CAREFUL OF THE STEP, MAN.

THAT'S FOR PARTY-CRASHERS.

IT'S OK, IT'S OK, IT'S OK, IT'S OK.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY FRIENDS.

I ONLY HAVE 4 OF THEM NOW, BUT...THERE'LL BE MORE.

YOU KNOW, FRIENDS ARE, LIKE, REALLY EASY TO MAKE, DUDE.

THERE'S, UH, ADAM WALKER.

HE WAS REALLY EASY.

HE DIDN'T STRUGGLE AT ALL.

BUT I GUESS IT'S 'CAUSE HE WAS REALLY STONED.

AND THEN THERE'S

BILLY BRIGHT.

BRIGHT, HE WAS NOT.

BUT I OVERLOOKED THAT BECAUSE, MAN...

'CAUSE HE HAD TALENT.

OH,

THEN THERE WAS SWEET SUSAN.

SHE HAD REALLY GOOD TASTE IN CARS,

BUT THAT HAIR, THOSE CLOTHES?

I MEAN, WHAT WAS THE GIRL THINKING?

YOU KNOW,

I THINK MY FINEST HOUR

WAS GETTING UP INTO YOUR PARTNER'S FACE.

BUT NOW,

IT'S TIME FOR HAIRY BLAIRY

AND THE BEAUTIFUL

CHINA DOLL.

DUCK PONDS, DUCK PONDS.

HERE. HILLSBOROUGH PARK.

NO, NO, THAT'S NO GOOD. IT'S ALL GATED.

THERE'S NO PUBLIC ACCESS.

GRANDVIEW ZOO.

24-HOUR SECURITY.

IT'S GOT TO BE ISOLATED, WHERE HE CAN KILL UNOBSERVED.

NOW, HERE'S THE LAST ONE.

ALFRED'S POND, DOWN BY THE WATERFRONT.

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OLD WAREHOUSES

AND ABANDONED BUILDINGS. HE'S GOT TO BE THERE SOMEWHERE.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE, SHOULDN'T WE CHECK NEARBY TOWNS, AS WELL?

NO. THERE'S NO TIME. SIMON, WE GOT TO TAKE A SHOT RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, THIS IS GONNA REALLY BE FUN.

YOU HAVE A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR.

YOU KNOW, KIND OF HIP.

WITH A TOUCH OF THE NERD.

ALL IN ALL, MAN,

QUITE A PIECE OF WORK.

TUSK 4, THIS IS ZEBRA 1. WE'RE AT ALFRED'S POND.

WE JUST COMPLETED A SWEEP OF THE ENTIRE AREA.

NO SIGN OF EITHER OF OUR TARGETS.

LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NOTHING HERE BUT DUCKS, MAN.

WHAT'S YOUR LOCATION?

ZEBRA ONE, THAT'S A ROGER. COMMENCING SWEEP.

WILL ADVISE ON LOCATION.

OUT.

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I NEED TO HEAR YOUR VOICE MORE, ANYWAY.

SCREW YOU, YOU HEAD CASE! SCREW YOU, YOU HEAD CASE!

HELP! HELP ME! HELP! HELP ME!

YOU JUST RELAX. WE'RE GOING TO GO AND SEE THE DUCKS

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A NICE...

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE-- HAVE A NICE HOT BATH.

ARE YOU-- ARE YOU-- ARE YOU READY TO DIE?

'CAUSE...

I'M READY.

PROGRESS REPORT, MAN.

HOW AM I DOIN'? DO I MAKE A GOOD YOU?

YOU SUCK!

YOU THINK YOU CAN BE ME?

WHEN'S MY BIRTHDAY?

HUH? WHAT WAS THE NAME OF MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND?

HOW OLD WAS I WHEN I BROKE MY ARM FALLING OUT OF MRS. DANBUSH'S TREE, HUH?

COME ON, YOU FREAK, ANSWER ME!

YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BE ME? WHAT'S MY--

BACKUP 4, COME IN.

YOU CAN'T BE ME.

ONLY I THINK WHAT I THINK, FEEL WHAT I FEEL.

I CAN'T BE YOU?

I CAN'T BE YOU!

ME. I...

SHUT UP, MAN.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

I KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU.

POOR LITTLE HOMER.

NO.

YOUR PET DUCK? WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?

WHY'D YOU KILL YOUR BROTHER?

YOU ARE RUINING THIS.

WHY DID YOU RUB FILTH--

SHUT UP!

WHY DID YOU MAKE MOMMY PUNISH YOU?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAD JUST BEEN A GOOD LITTLE BOY,

IF YOU HAD JUST BEEN A GOOD LITTLE DAVEY,

A GOOD LITTLE DAVEY, MAMA WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO HAVE SCRUBBED YOU

IN ALL THOSE HOT BATHS!

POLICE! FREEZE!

IN A DARING, 11TH-HOUR RESCUE,

DETECTIVE ELLISON SAVED THE LIFE OF A POLICE OBSERVER

BY GUNNING THE KILLER DOWN MOMENTS BEFORE HE WOULD HAVE STRUCK AGAIN.

AND SO, CASCADE WILL SLEEP EASY TONIGHT

BECAUSE OF YOU, DETECTIVE.

WELL, I THINK YOU'RE GUARANTEED GOOD PRESS

FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREER.

JUST PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR ME.

THIS IS MY BEST SIDE.

HEY, JIM, LAST NIGHT WHEN YOU SAID

I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, DID YOU MEAN THAT?

YEAH. YOU KEPT YOUR HEAD EVEN THOUGH YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA DIE.

YOU KNOW, THE CHINESE BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU SAVE A MAN'S LIFE,

YOU BECOME HIS BLESSED PROTECTOR

AND IT'S YOUR DUTY TO DO THAT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

REALLY?

WELL, HERE'S TODAY'S RESCUE.

CALL CHRISTINE.

BEG, CRAWL, WHATEVER YOU GOTTA DO.

HEY, I'M PRETTY GOOD AT THAT, HUH?

- DON'T EVER LIE TO HER. - TRUST, COMMITMENT.

SPEAKING OF COMMITMENT,

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING A CASCADE P.D. INSIGNIA

TATTOOED RIGHT ON MY CHEST.

ABOVE THE NIPPLE RING?

HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

YOU GET A TATTOO, AND YOUR BLESSED PROTECTOR'S

GONNA KICK YOUR ASS DOWN 7 FLIGHTS TO THE LOBBY.

WHOA, THERE, TOUGH GUY!

COME ON, YOU REALLY THINK I'D PUT SOMETHING ON MY BODY THAT I COULDN'T TAKE OFF?

I WAS JUST KIDDING.

ALTHOUGH, AN EARRING WOULD BE NICE.

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TASTEFUL. MAYBE A SMALL SILVER BADGE.
