Émission TV: The Closer - 5x12
[ woman laughing ] [ laughing ] no.
Yeah.
No, just with everything that's going on, I just think it'd be the perfect getaway.
Well, i know, but it's not even that expensive.
$3,000, and that includes everything.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, and did i mention -- it's even got a theater on board Where they do shows every single night.
And there's dancing.
It's like a floating city.
[ chuckles ] Rob?
[ muffled screams ] [ man grunting ] [ police radio chatter ] Lieutenant.
It appears the first cut severed the carotid artery, Punctured the larynx.
Wounds to the shoulder and thorax on this side Suggest whoever did this was...
Left-handed.
left-handed.
No sexual assault.
Doesn't appear so.
Buzz: already tagged it, chief, And detective sanchez confirmed the ashtray was gone When the first responders arrived.
Sergeant, who called this in?
Yeah, the neighbors, after hearing the screams -- The husband's screams.
Rob price -- he's out front with flynn now.
These here...
All these, All his bloody footprints...
...from here all the way out to the street.
The folks next door said that they heard some shouting, Saw him outside, behaving, As they put it, "like a madman."
Did they see who he might have been chasing?
no.
Flynn: okay.
so, here it is.
Husband, robert price, Claims he woke suddenly from a deep sleep, Came outside, and found his wife lying dead by the pool And a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask Fleeing the scene.
The killer, and i quote, "looked like a ninja."
A ninja?
Well, you know, husband's breath was about 40 proof.
Back when i drank like that, i saw ninjas, too.
Chief, apparently, the victim was talking To her cousin on the phone, Talking about a cruise she was planning, And the cousin heard the victim call out her husband's name, Heard sounds of a struggle, and then nothing.
We got the warrant for the house.
oh, thank you, detective.
Do you have a consent form and a pen?
Chief, we already got the warrant.
Yeah, i heard him, lieutenant.
thank you.
Lieutenant tao.
Mr.
price...
I'm brenda leigh johnson of major crimes -- The guy who did this is out there.
What are you doing to find him?
All we possibly can, sir, but we need your help.
We believe that your wife's killer Might have been in your house At some point this evening.
Would you consent to a search?
Okay.
Just sign right here.
Thank you.
Now, this is lieutenant tao from crisis response.
He'll see to it that you're comfortable And well taken care of.
This way, sir, please.
Detective sanchez, please compile a list Of all police reports made within a 5-mile radius Over the past 6 hours.
I imagine a medieval japanese assassin Must have caught someone's attention.
Chief, you don't really think -- No, of course not, But i don't want to hear a defense attorney say That i let a ninja get away because we didn't look for one.
Thank you.
Gentlemen, please collect all knives And remove the computers.
If the left-handed mr.
price was having an affair, I'd really like the e-mails proving it.
[ door opens ] Did you find him yet?
Oh, the man in black?
No, but we're looking very hard.
Mr.
price, lieutenant tao may have explained That one of the things we like to do in crisis response Is encourage the families of the victims to speak freely.
You never know what tiny, little detail Might unlock the whole puzzle.
So, you need me to tell you again what i saw.
Yes.
But before you do, there's a formality we need to go through, And the sooner we get through it, The faster we can focus on the manhunt.
It's all that stuff you've heard all before, You know, about the right to remain silent, The right to an attorney.
You're mirandizing me?
It's just boiler plate.
it's stuff that -- Why the hell are you wasting your time telling me my rights?!
I told you, i had nothing to do with this!
Mr.
price, our very best officers Are searching the streets for your wife's killer, But they need your help.
Now, i'm not allowed to take your whole statement Unless we get -- Chief, there's something you got to hear.
One minute, detective.
If you honestly want to help us find your wife's killer -- Chief.
Seriously.
Excuse me, mr.
price.
i'll be right back.
This had better be good, detective.
It is.
911 operator: 911, what's your emergency?
woman: you need to send somebody right away!
there's a man in our backyard trying to break in!
hurry!
please calm down, ma'am.
can you describe the intruder to me?
i don't know!
he's -- he's 6 feet tall!
he's wearing -- it's like a halloween costume!
he's -- he's all in black!
please!
send somebody!
Sanchez: that was 40 minutes before lisa price was stabbed, 4 miles east of the price house.
Okay, and the caller later told police that she saw the guy's car, A classic red mustang with temporary dealer tags That had "mejores motors" on it.
Now, we checked online.
There's only one mejores motors in the u.s.
It's in el paso, texas.
Okay, sergeant, would you please get Someone from el paso p.d.
on the line?
Maybe they can send someone over to that dealership.
Thank you.
...the second the lawyer...
Tao...
hmm?
What do you know about ninjas?
What?
i'm asian-american.
I'm supposed to be an expert on ninjas?
Uh, yeah.
Okay, in japanese lore, The ninja is a warrior Trained in unconventional martial arts.
Weapons include the throwing star, The ninjaken -- a short sword.
Chief?
chief, i got texas on the line.
Oh, thank you, sergeant.
Put them on speakerphone, please.
Detective curt landry, el paso, p.d.
To whom am i speaking?
Detective landry, this is deputy chief brenda leigh johnson, L.a.p.d.
major crimes.
Sorry to bother y'all so early in the morning.
I imagine it's an earlier morning where you are, ma'am.
What can i do for you?
Uh, detective, we are investigating a murder, And it seems that the car our suspect used May have been purchased in el paso.
Is that so?
What's this homicide about?
A young woman was stabbed between 25 and 30 times Last evening around midnight.
We haven't ruled out the husband yet as a suspect, but -- This killer -- was he left-handed?
Uh, actually, sir, we believe he was.
Any chance he was dressed all in black Like one of them ninja fellas?
He may have been, yes.
Is the sun up where you are, ma'am?
It's just rising now, sir.
Well, then the good citizens of los angeles will be safe Until nightfall.
I'll be there with you in four hours for a full briefing.
Oh, detective landry, you don't need to come all the way out here, sir.
I'm afraid i do, ma'am.
i'll see you in a bit.
Uh, detective landry, wait.
hello?
Hello?
hello?
hello?
hello?
Oh!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
I stood 40 minutes on the curb at the airport Waiting for you.
Well, daddy!
I called you half a dozen times on your cellphone.
Why didn't you pick up?
Well, how was i to know you were gonna call me?
They make you turn off your cellphone When you get on the airplane.
You know what?
it's okay.
We both know i'm not gonna be around too much longer, So you might as well get a jump on it By starting to forget me now.
Grandpa, you have no idea what aunt brenda does Or how hard she works or how serious it all is.
Well, thank you, charlie, But people don't need to know that.
first, i do know!
Second, her name is not charlie.
It's charlene, after my mother, not charlie!
What is it about l.a.
that when somebody comes here, They're encouraged to be somebody else?
Oh, thank you, honey, but i-i'm not staying.
I-i'm st taking a quick shower and heading back to work.
What?
i just got here!
Now you're turning around and leaving?
Really?
daddy, i have a murder!
now where are you going?
Charlie, it was sweet of you to stick up for me, but -- I'm not ready to go home yet.
Well, i guess i'm just a chauffeur, come here to take charlene home.
Charlie, you can't stay here.
your parents -- No, my parents don't understand me at all.
My dad thinks i'm still 8, and my mom -- they just -- They don't know me anymore, At least not the way you and uncle fritz do.
I-i feel like i'm a different person here than i am at home.
Look, honey, i understand what you're going through.
One second.
give me one second.
I-i did some things when i first got here, And i'm really sorry for that, But i feel like, especially in this past week, We've become so much closer.
We have, haven't we?
I might be closer to you and uncle fritz Than i am to anyone else in the whole world.
Please don't make me go home yet.
[ sighs ] Look, charlie, before we even talk about your staying here, You're gonna have to convince grandpa to leave you behind.
I can do that.
Well, you manage that, and we'll...
See what we can do.
Hey.
Fritzi, i didn't know you were back.
Hey, uncle fritz.
Thank you.
[ sighing ] When i said i wanted kids, i didn't mean other people's.
Oh, don't worry about that.
Daddy's never gonna let her stay here in a million years.
[ sighs ] Although, i do wish she lived nearer, don't you?
Not in the next bedroom.
Do you have my vicap results?
As a matter of fact, i do.
Using strict parameters -- Home invasion, after-dark, stabbing, Left-hander, no sexual component -- I found 85 murders resembling your killing.
85?
And my old buddy tom welch -- you remember him?
He just got assigned to the juarez task force in el paso.
He's drying by mejores motors To check on your suspect's mustang.
Oh, thank you, fritzi!
Brenda?
what?
Charlie is going.
Yes, yes, yes.
i know.
i know.
Clay: if i wanted to be ignored by my family, I could have stayed home.
[ sighs ] Chief johnson.
I believe you've already spoken with detective landry.
So nice to meet you, chief.
Very glad to get your call this morning.
that's the truth.
And so kind of you to fly all this way Just to brief me, detective.
Now, as i seem to be joining y'all a bit late, um, Maybe you could catch me up.
Ma'am.
Thank you.
Well, since detective landry has been kind enough To share his concerns with me, I will now share mine with you.
Before we alert the people of los angeles That there is a ninja on the loose, I'd like to be dead sure we're talking about the same person.
I have some questions about that myself.
These are the young women who were murdered in el paso Who i imagine you think were killed by the same person Who murdered my victim last night.
Now, while i do see similarities, Nowhere in these articles does it mention That the attacker was a ninja.
Well, i was afraid That if we released that particular detail to the press, The next time the killer struck, He'd likely be dressed as a rodeo clown or perhaps a nun.
Was there anything else that you withheld from the press?
That does seem like a fair place to begin.
Fine.
How about i tell you what i believe And what i don't believe.
I believe, four months ago, Your killer stabbed to death joann hosey, Living on the west side of el paso, Taking care of a father with terminal cancer, And then, two months later, The same man cut up juanita jimenez, A young mother of three, Slicing her face up so bad, I had to roll her prints to get an i.d.
on her.
That's what i believe.
And now i'll tell you what i don't believe.
And i realize that y'all probably see All manner of weird killers out this way, But i don't put a lot of stock in ninjas, And i feel fairly certain, when we find this boy, He'll be a white male, 25 to 40, With self-esteem issues he richly deserves.
Now, i'd like to help you grab this guy And take him back to texas, Where we can try him and fry him, Or, as we might say in this day and age, "collect him and inject him," Which i imagine is about as close as we're gonna get To a happy ending here.
As i see it, sir, the problem with your happy ending Is it leaves too many unanswered questions For the relatives of other victims He seems to have left scattered across several states.
Well, that's fair enough.
Suppose we try this.
Assuming we catch this little bastard, Whichever of us ends up with the better evidence Gets to take this guy to trial.
Detective, if you want to make a deal, Why don't you start by telling us Something we can't get from vicap?
Okay.
How about this...
You said your fellow was driving a car from el paso?
Mm-hmm.
Well, in el paso, Our man was driving a car from california.
Well, you guys did a great job on this.
Fast, too.
May i give you a little hint?
He never killed in holbrook.
Gallup, new mexico -- that was a domestic thing.
Terrible stabbing in sonora, but he's on death row.
Bowie, arizona -- remember that town.
If you like tex-mex, there is no place better.
Used to be an outback.
Guy that took it over did a bang-up job.
Here, you want to see what connects them all?
Of course.
Los angeles to phoenix, Tucson to el paso, up to houston.
Flynn: it's the i-10.
He's getting off the highway to find his victims.
bingo.
Do you have any dna matches?
[ telephone rings ] No law-enforcement agency's entered any dna Into the national database on this guy.
Chief?
agent howard.
Oh.
thank you.
pardon me.
Here she is.
Thanks.
hey.
You ready for more info on your el paso car?
Oh, fritzi, how can i thank you?
Wait until your dad and charlie leave, And i'll come up with something wholly inappropriate.
Mejores motors only sold one vintage red mustang In the last two years to a jeffrey webb of el paso Who recently relocated to los angeles.
Faxing everything over to you right now.
Oh, fritzi, thank you so much.
I'll see you tonight.
Tao: besides the mustang, dmv records show That jeffrey webb has six cars registered to him, All purchased in texas.
He's also been having serious marital issues -- Multiple restraining orders.
Wife describes a volatile temper and physical abuse.
Chief, webb's definitely not inside.
We're rinsing the drains for blood now.
We checked the garbage and the hamper.
So far, nothing.
Well, the car itself is spotless, But we did find this souvenir lighter from lake havasu With a great big thumbprint on it.
Hey, chief, that's him.
that's webb.
Hey!
Excuse me, sir.
what the hell's going on here?
Mr.
webb.
that's my car!
That's exactly what we wanted to hear.
Are you jeffrey webb?
What?
did that bitch tell you i raped her?
Look, it's all lies.
Whoa, whoa.
why don't you take a breath, son?
No.
no way i'm going back to texas!
hey!
Hey!
hey!
hey!
[ groans ] [ both grunting ] Give me your hands!
give me your hands!
Webb: okay!
okay!
turn around!
Hands behind your head!
behind your head!
Where you running to, boy?
i never touched her.
The only reason she's doing all this Is 'cause i wanted the divorce!
Mr.
webb, i don't know to what you are referring, But we have reason to believe that your car was used In the commission of a homicide.
What are you, nuts?
Where were you last night?
I was here, inside my house.
Excuse me!
i'm asking the questions here!
He's not your guy.
What about your car?
was that here, too?
I have no idea where my car was.
I only picked it up this morning at a depot near the airport.
Before then, it could have been anywhere Between here and el paso.
Look!
i have a receipt!
Let me see.
[ breathing heavily ] Here.
Check with the shipping office and find out...
Chief, i don't understand.
If webb is telling the truth And someone from the depot had the car And killed the price woman...
It wouldn't explain the killings out of state.
Well, the killer wasn't from the depot.
He was the person transporting the cars, using them for the murders.
I'm assuming that's what you got your man tao working on now, Trying to find the name of the driver.
Nice to have your own people about.
Chief.
hmm?
Auto shipper says the car was delivered This morning off a rig out of houston.
Driver's name is jesse ray moore.
An hour ago, he loaded up with another shipment Bound for texas.
Sergeant gabriel, detective sanchez, Would y'all get on the 10 and start heading east?
Lieutenant tao, let's put a want out for jesse ray moore And get pictures to every agency between here and houston.
Tao: chief, you realize it's possible The first place they're gonna stop moore Is the scales across the arizona border, In which case -- He'll be coming back to texas with me.
Unless -- unless one of the cars mr.
moore's shipping Has one of those vehicle-locator thingamajigs.
Lojack.
let me get on that, chief.
Detective landry, you don't need to come -- don't you worry.
i won't let you lose me.
[ siren chirps ] You're requesting air 19.
we got your lojack signal.
Your car carrier's still at the truck stop.
Gabriel: roger that, air 19.
You got any sign of the driver?
I have negative video on your driver, guys.
The suspect is not seen at this time.
He's cautious.
Green crown vic, Your truck's right in front of you now, That's your suspect's vehicle.
There's the truck.
It's locked!
All right, all right!
you check the restaurant.
I'll check the convenience store.
[ bells jingle ] Ise�ora!
�hay alquien m�s aqu�?
Just one.
[ gasps ] He's not in there!
not inside.
[ gears grind, tires screech ] Hey!
hold it!
Stop!
Pull over!
Stop the vehicle!
pull over!
Sanchez!
Pilot: control, i got an officer on the vehicle.
Code three.
code three.
officer needs help.
[ police siren wails ] Brenda: air 19, this is chief brenda leigh johnson.
I'll be there in two minutes.
Yeah, roger.
advised.
en route, two-minute e.t.a.
Control, notify sheriff's department.
we need backup now.
[ tires screech ] Pull over!
Pull over or i'm gonna blow your head off!
[ tires screech ] [ grunting ] [ grunting ] Pilot: we got an officer hanging out of the side of the big rig.
We're coming up on a blue flatbed truck.
We are proceeding westbound -- red valley road.
[ horn honking ] [ sanchez grunting ] Oh!
moved out of the way.
got right out of the way.
[ both grunting ] [ horn honking ] [ horn honking ] [ siren wailing ] Lieutenant tao?
You son of a bitch!
Lieutenant tao!
Air 19, where's my backup?
pilot: yeah, roger that.
Hey, control, if you've got the sheriffs on board, Get the sheriffs a little closer.
We need somebody here now.
All right, coming to a construction site now, guys.
I don't know where he's gonna go on this one.
[ brakes screech ] [ grunting ] Detective sanchez, that's enough!
Julio!
I think he broke my arm!
take it easy!
I know my rights!
i'm not saying nothing without a lawyer!
Oh, that's a good catch.
I don't think we're tossing this one back.
Get up!
Stand up!
look what you did to my car!
Gabriel: so, we found no blood or weapons In jesse ray moore's truck.
Why do they always have three names?
Okay, gentlemen, let me be clear.
At the moment, we can only prosecute mr.
moore For assault on a police officer and reckless driving.
I'm looking for evidence of murder.
Tao: chief, for what it's worth, we found this collection Of random items in his lockbox, 16 in all, including an ashtray, Though, the only fingerprints on them Belong to jesse ray moore.
That's it?
Mm.
Well, keep looking.
He's got to have those knives somewhere and call the print shed.
Tell them to take that 18-wheeler down to the very -- landry: no, don't bother with that, ma'am.
I wasn't gonna trouble y'all with it before, But mr.
moore has some scratches on his neck That go a long way to closing my case.
Scratches?
mm.
How did you know those scratches were gonna be there?
Juanita jimenez, The little latina lady that we talked about, Before she died, she put up a pretty good fight And got a little skin and blood under her nails.
Since our killer was dressed in black and wore a mask, I figured the neck was the only place it could have come from.
You have dna!
When i asked you if you had a match -- And i told you truthfully that no law-enforcement agency Had entered his dna into the national database.
Because you withheld it!
I didn't withhold anything.
I just don't have the staff you've got.
It takes a while to get all this done.
But i think you've done exceptional work.
And now if you could just turn mr.
moore over to me.
We agreed that whoever had the best evidence Would retain custody.
That we did, and, frankly, ma'am, There is no conceivable universe Wherein you have better evidence than i do.
Not at the moment, maybe, But right now, my detectives are looking Through every single car mr.
moore delivered Over the past two years.
And good luck with that.
In the meantime, I'm gonna get a nice little extradition order for you.
Have a pleasant evening, ma'am.
reporter: incredible.
what a Mess out there.
well, that was fontana about 3:00 today after los angeles police officers investigating reports that a murder suspect might be fleeing in a car carrier bound for the state line confronted the man in a truck right on i-10.
hi.
Hey.
congratulations, hon.
It's all over the news.
you actually got this creep.
Yeah, only i may have to give him away.
...right into the l.a.p.d.
officers'...
So what if this landry guy takes him off your hands?
No state dispenses justice like texas.
If by "justice" you mean executing a man Before we know everything he's done, i disagree.
I'm not arguing it's a perfect solution, only that -- [ clay coughs ] oh.
daddy, i'm sorry.
did we wake you up?
Oh, no matter.
At my age, i sleep better in the daytime, anyway.
Besides, i've got something I need to talk to both of you about.
Oh, god.
Before she went to bed, Charlene gave me a convincing argument As to why she should stay out here in california with you.
She's even found something called a magnet school, Whatever that is.
She gave me a pamphlet on it.
But the point is she does not want to go home.
And what did you say?
I told her that, uh, Whether she stays here or goes is entirely up to you.
Daddy!
oh, my god!
Look, i know you want me to be the bad guy here, But my main job as charlene's grandfather Is not to be resented And to say "yes" to every little thing she wants.
Besides, i refuse to spend five hours on an airplane With a teenager who thinks it's a terrible punishment To fly back to atlanta with me Next to staying here with you in california.
Brenda?
Huh?
Did -- did you hear what your father just said?
Yes.
And it makes perfect sense.
How's that extradition order coming along, mr.
landry?
Hmm?
well, the judge has my paperwork.
Shouldn't be long before the good people of texas Have mr.
moore on death row.
The material you asked for, chief.
Thank you, lieutenant.
Detective sanchez, sergeant gabriel, Lieutenant flynn, would y'all join me, please?
Well, now, you do realize, ma'am, You can't question him without his lawyer present.
I don't intend to question him.
I intend to have him revoke his right to an attorney, And then i intend to watch him confess.
Lieutenant tao, would you please join us?
Make sure to bring along everything We found in mr.
moore's lockbox And also your camera with the big flash.
The big outdoor -- really?
Okay.
So, you're really going in there with this guy When you know next to nothing about him?
I know the one thing we really need to know.
What's that?
He ran.
Excuse me.
Mr.
moore, i don't think We were properly introduced yesterday.
I'm chief johnson.
I expect you remember detective sanchez.
He certainly remembers you.
Now, i understand you don't want to speak Without your attorney present, and that's just fine with me, But i will need you to undress.
Now.
why are we doing this?
we're photographing you for any wounds, blemishes, and physical defects that might link you to the crimes for which you're being investigated.
Lieutenant tao.
[ camera shutter clicks ] Why is that so bright?
it's blinding me!
We're just preparing you for what you'll experience After you've been found guilty of murder In the great state of texas And they send you to the electric chair, Put 50,000 volts through the top of your head.
Well, that's not fair.
We don't electrocute people anymore.
we're not savages.
...gel on you to reduce the amount of seared flesh, But that won't stop your brain From boiling inside of your skull, But that's sort of the point, isn't it?
[ camera shutter clicking ] Where is she headed with that?
I think she's about to take your suspect away from you.
lieutenant tao, that will do.
Hey, give those back!
Those aren't your clothes anymore, sir.
that's evidence.
Detective, you'll see to it That that gets to the right people?
Thank you.
[ grunts ] Now...
I want you to look at all the people put to death in texas Since february 2006, 84 in all.
Tommy lynn hawkins, Executed after six months of being on death row.
Michael jack raleigh, Executed one year after his conviction.
Tyrone derrick johnson.
You get the idea?
And these are all the people put to death in california During the same time period.
Not one.
But since you have a lawyer and you won't talk to me, I'm walking out of here right now And turning you over to texas.
And trust me when i tell you that they will kill you dead.
No, please!
Don't -- don't let them send me back to texas.
i want to stay here.
i wish i could help, you know, but there's not a thing i can do, not while you insist on having an attorney.
I don't want an attorney!
i want to talk to you!
[ voice breaking ] but...i...
I don't know how.
There are just so many things i never said out loud.
How do i...
How do i tell you?
Well...
I have an idea.
[ sniffles ] Why don't we start with these?
We found them in your lockbox.
I'm guessing that they're souvenirs?
Aren't they?
You don't have to say.
You can just nod if you want.
I thought so.
Well...
[ sniffles ] Why don't you show me Where all of these objects came from?
[ sighs ] gentlemen, why don't we, um, get mr.
moore here something to put on?
[ sniffles ] You can call me jesse.
Okay...
Jesse.
You can call me brenda.
Now, all of these objects are unique, But i'm guessing the first one that you ever collected, That's extra special.
Which one would that be?
When you try so hard to get something right, You don't want to forget it.
Though, when i look in this mirror, I can almost see her looking back.
[ inhales deeply ] You want to smell?
Where did it come from?
Ozona.
She was coming back from her prom, i think.
She was real pretty.
And did you catch her when she was outside or inside?
Do you remember?
Yes, outside.
Her boyfriend walked her to the door, And she stood on the front porch, Watching him drive away, and...
She swayed a little, like she was still dancing.
[ door opens, closes ] [ woman screams ] [ dog barks ] [ woman screams ] [ laughs ] Killing's like having sex, you know?
Only you don't have to talk to them after you're done.
[ laughs ] Right.
right.
Still here, detective?
well, she's still here...
Seven hours later.
Lisa: rob?
[ screams ] [ sighs ] I stayed with her for a while.
Did you?
Something special about a woman's body When the life...
drains out of it.
There's a quiet there that's...
Soothing.
That's everyone?
You're absolutely sure there's no one else?
No, 16 is all.
People, that is.
You don't want to know about the cats or dogs.
I mean, they were just practice, really.
No.
That will do it.
Thank you, jesse.
Excuse me.
i'll be back in a bit.
[ breathing heavily ] You okay?
Yes, i'm fine.
i just needed to...
Fine.
That was well done, ma'am.
Thank you, detective.
Your, uh, help was indispensable.
I don't know about that.
As far as taking mr.
moore back to texas with me, I've spent enough time in court To know that no amount of dna is gonna trump a confession -- Much less 16 of them.
I've assured detective landry that after we convict mr.
moore And after he serves his life sentences here in california, Then texas can execute him.
And i appreciate that.
Well, i brought something with me I thought you might want to duplicate Before i get out your hair here.
In that folder's the 16 victims.
I thought you might want a copy of the sweet faces To go along with all those...souvenirs.
Great job again, ma'am.
I'm gonna step in here and call my team back home now, If you don't mind.
thanks.
[ door opens ] Hey, brenda.
you gonna come visit me in prison?
i appreciate the invitation, jesse, But i don't get to texas very often, Especially in the limited time you'll be there.
What are you talking about?
An extradition order has been filed already To have you removed from california, and i'm not sure i can fight it.
you told me i was gonna stay here.
well, sometimes these things are out of my hands.
red tape and all that.
You can't do this to me!
Jesse, i think i can.
gabriel: sit down.
I played that just right.
Oh.
Mm!
I know the day you've had, but just prepare yourself.
Brenda leigh, is that you?
It has been 24 hours Since we discussed that situation You're gonna handle with charlie!
I'm -- charlene!
you got me doing it!
Daddy, you want to know why i'm late?
I've been listening to a man tell me How he stabbed 16 women to death!
Well, i love you, too.
Just so you're aware of it, We have a 10:00 a.m.
flight in the morning.
If charlene doesn't want to get on that plane, I'm leaving without her.
You're gonna make me go back, aren't you?
[ sighs ] Charlie...
I know it feels like people are making you do things You don't want to do, but...
[ sighs ] ...your parents would be devastated If you didn't come back.
but what about me?
what about what i want?
I mean, does that just not matter?
Don't you think i've changed since i've been here?
I have.
I'm not the same person that i was.
Charlie, who you are, it...
It doesn't depend on where you are.
Who you are is something you take with you Wherever you go.
[ sighs ] believe me, even if you don't want to.
[ sighs ] Do you not want me here?
[ voice breaking ] charlie.
You drove me crazy for three weeks, And now you're gonna make me cry.
Of course i-i want you here.
I do, but...
[ sighs ] ...we gave you a second chance.
Don't you think your parents deserve one, too?
Guess i don't have a choice.
And i'm -- i'm coming.
I'm coming again real soon.
i promise.
You know, you always say that, and you never do.
Well, maybe i deserve a second chance, too.
You'll -- you'll be fine.
you will.
We'll see.
Sync by honeybunny www.addic7ed.com
Yeah.
No, just with everything that's going on, I just think it'd be the perfect getaway.
Well, i know, but it's not even that expensive.
$3,000, and that includes everything.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, and did i mention -- it's even got a theater on board Where they do shows every single night.
And there's dancing.
It's like a floating city.
[ chuckles ] Rob?
[ muffled screams ] [ man grunting ] [ police radio chatter ] Lieutenant.
It appears the first cut severed the carotid artery, Punctured the larynx.
Wounds to the shoulder and thorax on this side Suggest whoever did this was...
Left-handed.
left-handed.
No sexual assault.
Doesn't appear so.
Buzz: already tagged it, chief, And detective sanchez confirmed the ashtray was gone When the first responders arrived.
Sergeant, who called this in?
Yeah, the neighbors, after hearing the screams -- The husband's screams.
Rob price -- he's out front with flynn now.
These here...
All these, All his bloody footprints...
...from here all the way out to the street.
The folks next door said that they heard some shouting, Saw him outside, behaving, As they put it, "like a madman."
Did they see who he might have been chasing?
no.
Flynn: okay.
so, here it is.
Husband, robert price, Claims he woke suddenly from a deep sleep, Came outside, and found his wife lying dead by the pool And a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask Fleeing the scene.
The killer, and i quote, "looked like a ninja."
A ninja?
Well, you know, husband's breath was about 40 proof.
Back when i drank like that, i saw ninjas, too.
Chief, apparently, the victim was talking To her cousin on the phone, Talking about a cruise she was planning, And the cousin heard the victim call out her husband's name, Heard sounds of a struggle, and then nothing.
We got the warrant for the house.
oh, thank you, detective.
Do you have a consent form and a pen?
Chief, we already got the warrant.
Yeah, i heard him, lieutenant.
thank you.
Lieutenant tao.
Mr.
price...
I'm brenda leigh johnson of major crimes -- The guy who did this is out there.
What are you doing to find him?
All we possibly can, sir, but we need your help.
We believe that your wife's killer Might have been in your house At some point this evening.
Would you consent to a search?
Okay.
Just sign right here.
Thank you.
Now, this is lieutenant tao from crisis response.
He'll see to it that you're comfortable And well taken care of.
This way, sir, please.
Detective sanchez, please compile a list Of all police reports made within a 5-mile radius Over the past 6 hours.
I imagine a medieval japanese assassin Must have caught someone's attention.
Chief, you don't really think -- No, of course not, But i don't want to hear a defense attorney say That i let a ninja get away because we didn't look for one.
Thank you.
Gentlemen, please collect all knives And remove the computers.
If the left-handed mr.
price was having an affair, I'd really like the e-mails proving it.
[ door opens ] Did you find him yet?
Oh, the man in black?
No, but we're looking very hard.
Mr.
price, lieutenant tao may have explained That one of the things we like to do in crisis response Is encourage the families of the victims to speak freely.
You never know what tiny, little detail Might unlock the whole puzzle.
So, you need me to tell you again what i saw.
Yes.
But before you do, there's a formality we need to go through, And the sooner we get through it, The faster we can focus on the manhunt.
It's all that stuff you've heard all before, You know, about the right to remain silent, The right to an attorney.
You're mirandizing me?
It's just boiler plate.
it's stuff that -- Why the hell are you wasting your time telling me my rights?!
I told you, i had nothing to do with this!
Mr.
price, our very best officers Are searching the streets for your wife's killer, But they need your help.
Now, i'm not allowed to take your whole statement Unless we get -- Chief, there's something you got to hear.
One minute, detective.
If you honestly want to help us find your wife's killer -- Chief.
Seriously.
Excuse me, mr.
price.
i'll be right back.
This had better be good, detective.
It is.
911 operator: 911, what's your emergency?
woman: you need to send somebody right away!
there's a man in our backyard trying to break in!
hurry!
please calm down, ma'am.
can you describe the intruder to me?
i don't know!
he's -- he's 6 feet tall!
he's wearing -- it's like a halloween costume!
he's -- he's all in black!
please!
send somebody!
Sanchez: that was 40 minutes before lisa price was stabbed, 4 miles east of the price house.
Okay, and the caller later told police that she saw the guy's car, A classic red mustang with temporary dealer tags That had "mejores motors" on it.
Now, we checked online.
There's only one mejores motors in the u.s.
It's in el paso, texas.
Okay, sergeant, would you please get Someone from el paso p.d.
on the line?
Maybe they can send someone over to that dealership.
Thank you.
...the second the lawyer...
Tao...
hmm?
What do you know about ninjas?
What?
i'm asian-american.
I'm supposed to be an expert on ninjas?
Uh, yeah.
Okay, in japanese lore, The ninja is a warrior Trained in unconventional martial arts.
Weapons include the throwing star, The ninjaken -- a short sword.
Chief?
chief, i got texas on the line.
Oh, thank you, sergeant.
Put them on speakerphone, please.
Detective curt landry, el paso, p.d.
To whom am i speaking?
Detective landry, this is deputy chief brenda leigh johnson, L.a.p.d.
major crimes.
Sorry to bother y'all so early in the morning.
I imagine it's an earlier morning where you are, ma'am.
What can i do for you?
Uh, detective, we are investigating a murder, And it seems that the car our suspect used May have been purchased in el paso.
Is that so?
What's this homicide about?
A young woman was stabbed between 25 and 30 times Last evening around midnight.
We haven't ruled out the husband yet as a suspect, but -- This killer -- was he left-handed?
Uh, actually, sir, we believe he was.
Any chance he was dressed all in black Like one of them ninja fellas?
He may have been, yes.
Is the sun up where you are, ma'am?
It's just rising now, sir.
Well, then the good citizens of los angeles will be safe Until nightfall.
I'll be there with you in four hours for a full briefing.
Oh, detective landry, you don't need to come all the way out here, sir.
I'm afraid i do, ma'am.
i'll see you in a bit.
Uh, detective landry, wait.
hello?
Hello?
hello?
hello?
hello?
Oh!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
i'm sorry!
I stood 40 minutes on the curb at the airport Waiting for you.
Well, daddy!
I called you half a dozen times on your cellphone.
Why didn't you pick up?
Well, how was i to know you were gonna call me?
They make you turn off your cellphone When you get on the airplane.
You know what?
it's okay.
We both know i'm not gonna be around too much longer, So you might as well get a jump on it By starting to forget me now.
Grandpa, you have no idea what aunt brenda does Or how hard she works or how serious it all is.
Well, thank you, charlie, But people don't need to know that.
first, i do know!
Second, her name is not charlie.
It's charlene, after my mother, not charlie!
What is it about l.a.
that when somebody comes here, They're encouraged to be somebody else?
Oh, thank you, honey, but i-i'm not staying.
I-i'm st taking a quick shower and heading back to work.
What?
i just got here!
Now you're turning around and leaving?
Really?
daddy, i have a murder!
now where are you going?
Charlie, it was sweet of you to stick up for me, but -- I'm not ready to go home yet.
Well, i guess i'm just a chauffeur, come here to take charlene home.
Charlie, you can't stay here.
your parents -- No, my parents don't understand me at all.
My dad thinks i'm still 8, and my mom -- they just -- They don't know me anymore, At least not the way you and uncle fritz do.
I-i feel like i'm a different person here than i am at home.
Look, honey, i understand what you're going through.
One second.
give me one second.
I-i did some things when i first got here, And i'm really sorry for that, But i feel like, especially in this past week, We've become so much closer.
We have, haven't we?
I might be closer to you and uncle fritz Than i am to anyone else in the whole world.
Please don't make me go home yet.
[ sighs ] Look, charlie, before we even talk about your staying here, You're gonna have to convince grandpa to leave you behind.
I can do that.
Well, you manage that, and we'll...
See what we can do.
Hey.
Fritzi, i didn't know you were back.
Hey, uncle fritz.
Thank you.
[ sighing ] When i said i wanted kids, i didn't mean other people's.
Oh, don't worry about that.
Daddy's never gonna let her stay here in a million years.
[ sighs ] Although, i do wish she lived nearer, don't you?
Not in the next bedroom.
Do you have my vicap results?
As a matter of fact, i do.
Using strict parameters -- Home invasion, after-dark, stabbing, Left-hander, no sexual component -- I found 85 murders resembling your killing.
85?
And my old buddy tom welch -- you remember him?
He just got assigned to the juarez task force in el paso.
He's drying by mejores motors To check on your suspect's mustang.
Oh, thank you, fritzi!
Brenda?
what?
Charlie is going.
Yes, yes, yes.
i know.
i know.
Clay: if i wanted to be ignored by my family, I could have stayed home.
[ sighs ] Chief johnson.
I believe you've already spoken with detective landry.
So nice to meet you, chief.
Very glad to get your call this morning.
that's the truth.
And so kind of you to fly all this way Just to brief me, detective.
Now, as i seem to be joining y'all a bit late, um, Maybe you could catch me up.
Ma'am.
Thank you.
Well, since detective landry has been kind enough To share his concerns with me, I will now share mine with you.
Before we alert the people of los angeles That there is a ninja on the loose, I'd like to be dead sure we're talking about the same person.
I have some questions about that myself.
These are the young women who were murdered in el paso Who i imagine you think were killed by the same person Who murdered my victim last night.
Now, while i do see similarities, Nowhere in these articles does it mention That the attacker was a ninja.
Well, i was afraid That if we released that particular detail to the press, The next time the killer struck, He'd likely be dressed as a rodeo clown or perhaps a nun.
Was there anything else that you withheld from the press?
That does seem like a fair place to begin.
Fine.
How about i tell you what i believe And what i don't believe.
I believe, four months ago, Your killer stabbed to death joann hosey, Living on the west side of el paso, Taking care of a father with terminal cancer, And then, two months later, The same man cut up juanita jimenez, A young mother of three, Slicing her face up so bad, I had to roll her prints to get an i.d.
on her.
That's what i believe.
And now i'll tell you what i don't believe.
And i realize that y'all probably see All manner of weird killers out this way, But i don't put a lot of stock in ninjas, And i feel fairly certain, when we find this boy, He'll be a white male, 25 to 40, With self-esteem issues he richly deserves.
Now, i'd like to help you grab this guy And take him back to texas, Where we can try him and fry him, Or, as we might say in this day and age, "collect him and inject him," Which i imagine is about as close as we're gonna get To a happy ending here.
As i see it, sir, the problem with your happy ending Is it leaves too many unanswered questions For the relatives of other victims He seems to have left scattered across several states.
Well, that's fair enough.
Suppose we try this.
Assuming we catch this little bastard, Whichever of us ends up with the better evidence Gets to take this guy to trial.
Detective, if you want to make a deal, Why don't you start by telling us Something we can't get from vicap?
Okay.
How about this...
You said your fellow was driving a car from el paso?
Mm-hmm.
Well, in el paso, Our man was driving a car from california.
Well, you guys did a great job on this.
Fast, too.
May i give you a little hint?
He never killed in holbrook.
Gallup, new mexico -- that was a domestic thing.
Terrible stabbing in sonora, but he's on death row.
Bowie, arizona -- remember that town.
If you like tex-mex, there is no place better.
Used to be an outback.
Guy that took it over did a bang-up job.
Here, you want to see what connects them all?
Of course.
Los angeles to phoenix, Tucson to el paso, up to houston.
Flynn: it's the i-10.
He's getting off the highway to find his victims.
bingo.
Do you have any dna matches?
[ telephone rings ] No law-enforcement agency's entered any dna Into the national database on this guy.
Chief?
agent howard.
Oh.
thank you.
pardon me.
Here she is.
Thanks.
hey.
You ready for more info on your el paso car?
Oh, fritzi, how can i thank you?
Wait until your dad and charlie leave, And i'll come up with something wholly inappropriate.
Mejores motors only sold one vintage red mustang In the last two years to a jeffrey webb of el paso Who recently relocated to los angeles.
Faxing everything over to you right now.
Oh, fritzi, thank you so much.
I'll see you tonight.
Tao: besides the mustang, dmv records show That jeffrey webb has six cars registered to him, All purchased in texas.
He's also been having serious marital issues -- Multiple restraining orders.
Wife describes a volatile temper and physical abuse.
Chief, webb's definitely not inside.
We're rinsing the drains for blood now.
We checked the garbage and the hamper.
So far, nothing.
Well, the car itself is spotless, But we did find this souvenir lighter from lake havasu With a great big thumbprint on it.
Hey, chief, that's him.
that's webb.
Hey!
Excuse me, sir.
what the hell's going on here?
Mr.
webb.
that's my car!
That's exactly what we wanted to hear.
Are you jeffrey webb?
What?
did that bitch tell you i raped her?
Look, it's all lies.
Whoa, whoa.
why don't you take a breath, son?
No.
no way i'm going back to texas!
hey!
Hey!
hey!
hey!
[ groans ] [ both grunting ] Give me your hands!
give me your hands!
Webb: okay!
okay!
turn around!
Hands behind your head!
behind your head!
Where you running to, boy?
i never touched her.
The only reason she's doing all this Is 'cause i wanted the divorce!
Mr.
webb, i don't know to what you are referring, But we have reason to believe that your car was used In the commission of a homicide.
What are you, nuts?
Where were you last night?
I was here, inside my house.
Excuse me!
i'm asking the questions here!
He's not your guy.
What about your car?
was that here, too?
I have no idea where my car was.
I only picked it up this morning at a depot near the airport.
Before then, it could have been anywhere Between here and el paso.
Look!
i have a receipt!
Let me see.
[ breathing heavily ] Here.
Check with the shipping office and find out...
Chief, i don't understand.
If webb is telling the truth And someone from the depot had the car And killed the price woman...
It wouldn't explain the killings out of state.
Well, the killer wasn't from the depot.
He was the person transporting the cars, using them for the murders.
I'm assuming that's what you got your man tao working on now, Trying to find the name of the driver.
Nice to have your own people about.
Chief.
hmm?
Auto shipper says the car was delivered This morning off a rig out of houston.
Driver's name is jesse ray moore.
An hour ago, he loaded up with another shipment Bound for texas.
Sergeant gabriel, detective sanchez, Would y'all get on the 10 and start heading east?
Lieutenant tao, let's put a want out for jesse ray moore And get pictures to every agency between here and houston.
Tao: chief, you realize it's possible The first place they're gonna stop moore Is the scales across the arizona border, In which case -- He'll be coming back to texas with me.
Unless -- unless one of the cars mr.
moore's shipping Has one of those vehicle-locator thingamajigs.
Lojack.
let me get on that, chief.
Detective landry, you don't need to come -- don't you worry.
i won't let you lose me.
[ siren chirps ] You're requesting air 19.
we got your lojack signal.
Your car carrier's still at the truck stop.
Gabriel: roger that, air 19.
You got any sign of the driver?
I have negative video on your driver, guys.
The suspect is not seen at this time.
He's cautious.
Green crown vic, Your truck's right in front of you now, That's your suspect's vehicle.
There's the truck.
It's locked!
All right, all right!
you check the restaurant.
I'll check the convenience store.
[ bells jingle ] Ise�ora!
�hay alquien m�s aqu�?
Just one.
[ gasps ] He's not in there!
not inside.
[ gears grind, tires screech ] Hey!
hold it!
Stop!
Pull over!
Stop the vehicle!
pull over!
Sanchez!
Pilot: control, i got an officer on the vehicle.
Code three.
code three.
officer needs help.
[ police siren wails ] Brenda: air 19, this is chief brenda leigh johnson.
I'll be there in two minutes.
Yeah, roger.
advised.
en route, two-minute e.t.a.
Control, notify sheriff's department.
we need backup now.
[ tires screech ] Pull over!
Pull over or i'm gonna blow your head off!
[ tires screech ] [ grunting ] [ grunting ] Pilot: we got an officer hanging out of the side of the big rig.
We're coming up on a blue flatbed truck.
We are proceeding westbound -- red valley road.
[ horn honking ] [ sanchez grunting ] Oh!
moved out of the way.
got right out of the way.
[ both grunting ] [ horn honking ] [ horn honking ] [ siren wailing ] Lieutenant tao?
You son of a bitch!
Lieutenant tao!
Air 19, where's my backup?
pilot: yeah, roger that.
Hey, control, if you've got the sheriffs on board, Get the sheriffs a little closer.
We need somebody here now.
All right, coming to a construction site now, guys.
I don't know where he's gonna go on this one.
[ brakes screech ] [ grunting ] Detective sanchez, that's enough!
Julio!
I think he broke my arm!
take it easy!
I know my rights!
i'm not saying nothing without a lawyer!
Oh, that's a good catch.
I don't think we're tossing this one back.
Get up!
Stand up!
look what you did to my car!
Gabriel: so, we found no blood or weapons In jesse ray moore's truck.
Why do they always have three names?
Okay, gentlemen, let me be clear.
At the moment, we can only prosecute mr.
moore For assault on a police officer and reckless driving.
I'm looking for evidence of murder.
Tao: chief, for what it's worth, we found this collection Of random items in his lockbox, 16 in all, including an ashtray, Though, the only fingerprints on them Belong to jesse ray moore.
That's it?
Mm.
Well, keep looking.
He's got to have those knives somewhere and call the print shed.
Tell them to take that 18-wheeler down to the very -- landry: no, don't bother with that, ma'am.
I wasn't gonna trouble y'all with it before, But mr.
moore has some scratches on his neck That go a long way to closing my case.
Scratches?
mm.
How did you know those scratches were gonna be there?
Juanita jimenez, The little latina lady that we talked about, Before she died, she put up a pretty good fight And got a little skin and blood under her nails.
Since our killer was dressed in black and wore a mask, I figured the neck was the only place it could have come from.
You have dna!
When i asked you if you had a match -- And i told you truthfully that no law-enforcement agency Had entered his dna into the national database.
Because you withheld it!
I didn't withhold anything.
I just don't have the staff you've got.
It takes a while to get all this done.
But i think you've done exceptional work.
And now if you could just turn mr.
moore over to me.
We agreed that whoever had the best evidence Would retain custody.
That we did, and, frankly, ma'am, There is no conceivable universe Wherein you have better evidence than i do.
Not at the moment, maybe, But right now, my detectives are looking Through every single car mr.
moore delivered Over the past two years.
And good luck with that.
In the meantime, I'm gonna get a nice little extradition order for you.
Have a pleasant evening, ma'am.
reporter: incredible.
what a Mess out there.
well, that was fontana about 3:00 today after los angeles police officers investigating reports that a murder suspect might be fleeing in a car carrier bound for the state line confronted the man in a truck right on i-10.
hi.
Hey.
congratulations, hon.
It's all over the news.
you actually got this creep.
Yeah, only i may have to give him away.
...right into the l.a.p.d.
officers'...
So what if this landry guy takes him off your hands?
No state dispenses justice like texas.
If by "justice" you mean executing a man Before we know everything he's done, i disagree.
I'm not arguing it's a perfect solution, only that -- [ clay coughs ] oh.
daddy, i'm sorry.
did we wake you up?
Oh, no matter.
At my age, i sleep better in the daytime, anyway.
Besides, i've got something I need to talk to both of you about.
Oh, god.
Before she went to bed, Charlene gave me a convincing argument As to why she should stay out here in california with you.
She's even found something called a magnet school, Whatever that is.
She gave me a pamphlet on it.
But the point is she does not want to go home.
And what did you say?
I told her that, uh, Whether she stays here or goes is entirely up to you.
Daddy!
oh, my god!
Look, i know you want me to be the bad guy here, But my main job as charlene's grandfather Is not to be resented And to say "yes" to every little thing she wants.
Besides, i refuse to spend five hours on an airplane With a teenager who thinks it's a terrible punishment To fly back to atlanta with me Next to staying here with you in california.
Brenda?
Huh?
Did -- did you hear what your father just said?
Yes.
And it makes perfect sense.
How's that extradition order coming along, mr.
landry?
Hmm?
well, the judge has my paperwork.
Shouldn't be long before the good people of texas Have mr.
moore on death row.
The material you asked for, chief.
Thank you, lieutenant.
Detective sanchez, sergeant gabriel, Lieutenant flynn, would y'all join me, please?
Well, now, you do realize, ma'am, You can't question him without his lawyer present.
I don't intend to question him.
I intend to have him revoke his right to an attorney, And then i intend to watch him confess.
Lieutenant tao, would you please join us?
Make sure to bring along everything We found in mr.
moore's lockbox And also your camera with the big flash.
The big outdoor -- really?
Okay.
So, you're really going in there with this guy When you know next to nothing about him?
I know the one thing we really need to know.
What's that?
He ran.
Excuse me.
Mr.
moore, i don't think We were properly introduced yesterday.
I'm chief johnson.
I expect you remember detective sanchez.
He certainly remembers you.
Now, i understand you don't want to speak Without your attorney present, and that's just fine with me, But i will need you to undress.
Now.
why are we doing this?
we're photographing you for any wounds, blemishes, and physical defects that might link you to the crimes for which you're being investigated.
Lieutenant tao.
[ camera shutter clicks ] Why is that so bright?
it's blinding me!
We're just preparing you for what you'll experience After you've been found guilty of murder In the great state of texas And they send you to the electric chair, Put 50,000 volts through the top of your head.
Well, that's not fair.
We don't electrocute people anymore.
we're not savages.
...gel on you to reduce the amount of seared flesh, But that won't stop your brain From boiling inside of your skull, But that's sort of the point, isn't it?
[ camera shutter clicking ] Where is she headed with that?
I think she's about to take your suspect away from you.
lieutenant tao, that will do.
Hey, give those back!
Those aren't your clothes anymore, sir.
that's evidence.
Detective, you'll see to it That that gets to the right people?
Thank you.
[ grunts ] Now...
I want you to look at all the people put to death in texas Since february 2006, 84 in all.
Tommy lynn hawkins, Executed after six months of being on death row.
Michael jack raleigh, Executed one year after his conviction.
Tyrone derrick johnson.
You get the idea?
And these are all the people put to death in california During the same time period.
Not one.
But since you have a lawyer and you won't talk to me, I'm walking out of here right now And turning you over to texas.
And trust me when i tell you that they will kill you dead.
No, please!
Don't -- don't let them send me back to texas.
i want to stay here.
i wish i could help, you know, but there's not a thing i can do, not while you insist on having an attorney.
I don't want an attorney!
i want to talk to you!
[ voice breaking ] but...i...
I don't know how.
There are just so many things i never said out loud.
How do i...
How do i tell you?
Well...
I have an idea.
[ sniffles ] Why don't we start with these?
We found them in your lockbox.
I'm guessing that they're souvenirs?
Aren't they?
You don't have to say.
You can just nod if you want.
I thought so.
Well...
[ sniffles ] Why don't you show me Where all of these objects came from?
[ sighs ] gentlemen, why don't we, um, get mr.
moore here something to put on?
[ sniffles ] You can call me jesse.
Okay...
Jesse.
You can call me brenda.
Now, all of these objects are unique, But i'm guessing the first one that you ever collected, That's extra special.
Which one would that be?
When you try so hard to get something right, You don't want to forget it.
Though, when i look in this mirror, I can almost see her looking back.
[ inhales deeply ] You want to smell?
Where did it come from?
Ozona.
She was coming back from her prom, i think.
She was real pretty.
And did you catch her when she was outside or inside?
Do you remember?
Yes, outside.
Her boyfriend walked her to the door, And she stood on the front porch, Watching him drive away, and...
She swayed a little, like she was still dancing.
[ door opens, closes ] [ woman screams ] [ dog barks ] [ woman screams ] [ laughs ] Killing's like having sex, you know?
Only you don't have to talk to them after you're done.
[ laughs ] Right.
right.
Still here, detective?
well, she's still here...
Seven hours later.
Lisa: rob?
[ screams ] [ sighs ] I stayed with her for a while.
Did you?
Something special about a woman's body When the life...
drains out of it.
There's a quiet there that's...
Soothing.
That's everyone?
You're absolutely sure there's no one else?
No, 16 is all.
People, that is.
You don't want to know about the cats or dogs.
I mean, they were just practice, really.
No.
That will do it.
Thank you, jesse.
Excuse me.
i'll be back in a bit.
[ breathing heavily ] You okay?
Yes, i'm fine.
i just needed to...
Fine.
That was well done, ma'am.
Thank you, detective.
Your, uh, help was indispensable.
I don't know about that.
As far as taking mr.
moore back to texas with me, I've spent enough time in court To know that no amount of dna is gonna trump a confession -- Much less 16 of them.
I've assured detective landry that after we convict mr.
moore And after he serves his life sentences here in california, Then texas can execute him.
And i appreciate that.
Well, i brought something with me I thought you might want to duplicate Before i get out your hair here.
In that folder's the 16 victims.
I thought you might want a copy of the sweet faces To go along with all those...souvenirs.
Great job again, ma'am.
I'm gonna step in here and call my team back home now, If you don't mind.
thanks.
[ door opens ] Hey, brenda.
you gonna come visit me in prison?
i appreciate the invitation, jesse, But i don't get to texas very often, Especially in the limited time you'll be there.
What are you talking about?
An extradition order has been filed already To have you removed from california, and i'm not sure i can fight it.
you told me i was gonna stay here.
well, sometimes these things are out of my hands.
red tape and all that.
You can't do this to me!
Jesse, i think i can.
gabriel: sit down.
I played that just right.
Oh.
Mm!
I know the day you've had, but just prepare yourself.
Brenda leigh, is that you?
It has been 24 hours Since we discussed that situation You're gonna handle with charlie!
I'm -- charlene!
you got me doing it!
Daddy, you want to know why i'm late?
I've been listening to a man tell me How he stabbed 16 women to death!
Well, i love you, too.
Just so you're aware of it, We have a 10:00 a.m.
flight in the morning.
If charlene doesn't want to get on that plane, I'm leaving without her.
You're gonna make me go back, aren't you?
[ sighs ] Charlie...
I know it feels like people are making you do things You don't want to do, but...
[ sighs ] ...your parents would be devastated If you didn't come back.
but what about me?
what about what i want?
I mean, does that just not matter?
Don't you think i've changed since i've been here?
I have.
I'm not the same person that i was.
Charlie, who you are, it...
It doesn't depend on where you are.
Who you are is something you take with you Wherever you go.
[ sighs ] believe me, even if you don't want to.
[ sighs ] Do you not want me here?
[ voice breaking ] charlie.
You drove me crazy for three weeks, And now you're gonna make me cry.
Of course i-i want you here.
I do, but...
[ sighs ] ...we gave you a second chance.
Don't you think your parents deserve one, too?
Guess i don't have a choice.
And i'm -- i'm coming.
I'm coming again real soon.
i promise.
You know, you always say that, and you never do.
Well, maybe i deserve a second chance, too.
You'll -- you'll be fine.
you will.
We'll see.
