1
00:00:56,122 --> 00:00:58,391
Where have you been?
l've been waiting since 7:00.

2
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,860
Get in. l had to find fireworks.

3
00:01:00,927 --> 00:01:02,128
Let me drive.

4
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:04,531
Get in. l haven't eaten in 24 hours.

5
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:09,690
Are you coming or not?

6
00:01:29,956 --> 00:01:31,891
lt's too crowded.

7
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:33,793
l thought you were starving.

8
00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:37,764
Let's go someplace quiet.

9
00:01:39,265 --> 00:01:40,467
Okay.

10
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,680
What are we doing?

11
00:01:55,348 --> 00:01:59,586
Sitting. Listening to music. Talking.

12
00:02:00,620 --> 00:02:04,491
-You seem weird. ls everything okay?
-Yeah, everything's fine.

13
00:02:12,332 --> 00:02:15,350
lt's July.
How many shirts are you wearing?

14
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:18,271
-l'm cold.
-You're cold on the Fourth of July?

15
00:02:22,709 --> 00:02:24,811
**** off and die!

16
00:02:31,117 --> 00:02:34,220
-What?
-"**** off and die"?

17
00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:37,570
Shut up.

18
00:03:02,482 --> 00:03:04,584
Was that car at the drive-in?

19
00:03:07,153 --> 00:03:09,255
l saw that car at Mr. Ed's.

20
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:18,932
-Do you want me to tell him to leave?
-Stay in the car.

21
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:36,383
-Was that your husband?
-No.

22
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,455
Who was that, Darlene?

23
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,525
Don't worry about it.

24
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:49,620
-Don't tell me not to worry. Who was it?
-lt's nothing.

25
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:10,250
Oh, shit.

26
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:14,821
Let's go.

27
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,626
Now, D.

28
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,440
Get yourwallet.

29
00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:43,983
Man, you really creeped us out.

30
00:05:46,546 --> 00:05:49,249
-Vallejo Police Department.
-l want to report a double murder.

31
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:50,984
May l have your name
and where you are calling...

32
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:53,420
lf you go one mile east
on CoIumbus Parkway,

33
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,756
a public park,
you'll find kids in a brown car.

34
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:00,527
They were shot with a 9mm Luger.

35
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:03,697
l also killed those kids last year.

36
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:06,900
Goodbye.

37
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:25,919
Spit.

38
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,521
Come on, buddy.

39
00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:31,558
-l swallowed it.
-Why?

40
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:33,590
lt was minty.

41
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,563
You can't do that. lt's not good for you.

42
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,932
Lunch box.

43
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,968
-Why am l not going on the bus?
-Because we're late.

44
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:47,307
Okay, you're staying
with your mom and Aaron tonight.

45
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:50,110
So, you don't like
having a new little brother?

46
00:06:50,210 --> 00:06:53,580
-No, not really.
-Oh, that's honest.

47
00:06:56,383 --> 00:06:57,617
Learn a lot.

48
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:02,655
There will be a test tonight!

49
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:39,250
Morning.

50
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:41,961
-Hi.
-Good morning.

51
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,363
-Morning.
-Morning.

52
00:08:04,551 --> 00:08:06,353
How's the coffee today, Shorty?

53
00:09:22,929 --> 00:09:24,640
Good morning, gentlemen.

54
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:25,398
-Good morning.
-Good morning.

55
00:09:25,465 --> 00:09:27,434
Well, Stanton, tell Mr. Howe

56
00:09:27,534 --> 00:09:30,700
the draft board piece
was damn near perfect.

57
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:32,739
Mr. Graysmith.

58
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,810
Horrid.

59
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,112
Not so horrid.

60
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:40,980
Horrid.
l'm thinking we go with not so horrid.

61
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:47,387
Paul, what's on the crime beat?

62
00:09:47,454 --> 00:09:51,591
Janice in Datebook left the fondue party
before everyone got naked.

63
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,426
That's a crime.

64
00:09:53,493 --> 00:09:55,628
Have you seen her? Wouldn't kid you.

65
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:58,498
lt may be the beginning of a crime wave.

66
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:00,834
You need to see this.

67
00:10:06,239 --> 00:10:08,108
Go get the publisher.

68
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:09,275
"Dear Editor,

69
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:10,443

Today's August first.

97
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,261
He wants his code
in the afternoon edition.

98
00:11:35,362 --> 00:11:38,980
lf the Examinerdoesn't have
the balls to run it, we scoop the Bay.

99
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:40,233
Al, this man is talking about
shooting 12 people.

100
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,168
And not running this
might make him do that.

101
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:44,704
lfwe run it, we might be setting
a very dangerous precedent.

102
00:11:44,771 --> 00:11:46,239
Oh, come on, now, it's newsworthy.

103
00:11:46,339 --> 00:11:48,575
Well, giving some sick bastard
a soapbox,

104
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:49,709
what does that say to people?

105
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:53,460
Back up. ls this Vallejo story true?
Do we know that?

106
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:56,116
-Paul?
-What? l cover crime in Vallejo?

107
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:59,219
Yeah, l cover crime in Vallejo.
Ten minutes.

108
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:01,621
Let's shoot the code and call SFPD.

109
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:05,558
lf it turns out to be real,
at least we'll have the material.

110
00:12:05,959 --> 00:12:07,360
All right.

111
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:10,397
Graysmith,
don't you have that cartoon to finish?

112
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:11,765
Oh, yeah.

113
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:20,540
Hi, this is Paul Avery
from the San Francisco ChronicIe.

114
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:23,643
l'm looking for someone to
shed some light on a letterwe received.

115
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:25,645
Thank you.

116
00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:27,800
Sergeant Mulanax.

117
00:12:27,147 --> 00:12:28,948
Sergeant, PauI Avery from
the San Francisco Chronicle.

118
00:12:29,490 --> 00:12:30,830
l just wanted to check

119
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:31,985
ifyou had an unsolved
firearm-related homicide

120
00:12:32,850 --> 00:12:34,988
on Christmas and
maybe one on July fourth.

121
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,289
Shit.

122
00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:38,158
You guys got one, too?

123
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:42,429
Confirmed.
VPD, they confirmed the shootings.

124
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:43,596
Al's on the phone with the Examiner

125
00:12:43,663 --> 00:12:45,980
They got the same letter
with a different code.

126
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,266
So did Times-Herald.

127
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:48,735
Christmas, two teenagers
on lover's lane. Both DOA.

128
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:50,437
David Faraday and Betty Jensen.

129
00:12:50,503 --> 00:12:53,106
July fourth,
Darlene Ferrin and Michael...

130
00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:55,750
l think it's "Mayhew."
Anyway, he lived, she didn't.

131
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:56,242
The murderweapons?

132
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:59,245
Ballistics, everything he said
in the letters matched.

133
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:02,415
l mean, l think the Times-Herald's
gonna go with it.

134
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:05,352
The Examiner's going,
but won't go front page.

135
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:09,689
l say let's go front page.
lf he kills 12 people, it's not our fault.

136
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:12,826
Robert! We need the cartoon.

137
00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:17,864
-You're not finished?
-No, l'm finished, Carol. l'm finished.

138
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:19,666
Thieriot's still here.

139
00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:20,967
Really?

140
00:13:21,368 --> 00:13:24,704
The first edition
is off the floor in 10, Charles.

141
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:29,642
Give us a sec.

142
00:13:32,545 --> 00:13:34,470
Okay, re-plate.

143
00:13:34,514 --> 00:13:37,500
We'll go on page... Page four.

144
00:13:38,885 --> 00:13:42,550
What do you say, 20 bucks
whoever cracks the psycho's name?

145
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:44,570
He won't give his name.

146
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:47,270
Morti's? Anyone?

147
00:13:47,127 --> 00:13:49,396
-That's where l'm heading.
-All right.

148
00:14:15,922 --> 00:14:18,758
Put those on my desk. Turn on the light.

149
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,271
Grab your book.

150
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:36,276
Now go get yourjammies on.

151
00:14:39,179 --> 00:14:40,714
All right, people, listen up.

152
00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:46,186
The cipher's broken into three sections,
each with eight lines and 17 symbols.

153
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:48,788
No breaks between the symbols
denoting different words.

154
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,257
No numbers or clues
to substitution keys.

155
00:14:51,358 --> 00:14:53,460
And you got symbols
from at least seven different sources.

156
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:59,432
Greek, Morse code, Navy semaphore,
weather symbols, astrological signs.

157
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:08,441
-Hey, take a gander at this code thing.
-Okay.

158
00:15:13,713 --> 00:15:15,315
You wanna give it a go?

159
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:20,387
Guy who used to sit there
was a great cartoonist. Bob Bastian.

160
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:23,790
Now he's doing public television.
For some reason.

161
00:15:25,325 --> 00:15:26,726
Paul Avery.

162
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:31,164
Robert Graysmith.
l've been here nine months.

163
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:36,436
You were right, by the way.
He didn't give his name.

164
00:15:36,503 --> 00:15:37,504
Who cracked it?

165
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:39,839
A history teacher
and his wife in Salinas.

166
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:43,760
"l like killing people
because it is so much fun.

167
00:15:43,143 --> 00:15:47,180
"lt is more fun
than killing wild game in the forest

168
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,818
"because man is the most
dangerous animal of all to kill.

169
00:15:51,918 --> 00:15:54,621
"Something gives me
the most thrilling experience.

170
00:15:54,688 --> 00:15:58,658
"lt is even better
than getting your rocks offwith a girl.

171
00:15:58,758 --> 00:16:02,429
"The best part of it is that when l die,

172
00:16:02,495 --> 00:16:05,465
"l will be reborn in paradise.

173
00:16:05,532 --> 00:16:08,968
"And all that l have killed
will become my slaves.

174
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:12,806
"l will not give you my name
because you will try to slow down

175
00:16:12,872 --> 00:16:16,142
"or stop my collecting of slaves
for my afterlife."

176
00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:18,111
Methinks our friend's
a tad bit ****ered in the head.

177
00:16:18,178 --> 00:16:22,349
l heard he even sent Vallejo
a code key, just to help.

178
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:24,818
-What is that at the bottom?
-Leftovers.

179
00:16:24,884 --> 00:16:26,553
Maybe an anagram.

180
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:45,472
How does one do that?

181
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:48,475
l like puzzles. l do them a lot.

182
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:52,879
How did you know
he wasn't gonna give his name?

183
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:57,550
Dangerous animal.

184
00:16:58,418 --> 00:17:01,354
What dangerous animal?
How do l know that?

185
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:10,330
-Paul.
-Yes, Templeton.

186
00:17:10,397 --> 00:17:12,499
-Editorial, now.
-Very well.

187
00:17:14,601 --> 00:17:16,202
Another letter.

188
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:19,606
More of the same.
Details about the murders.

189
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:24,678
He taped a flashlight to the gun.
That's how he hit them in the dark.

190
00:17:24,744 --> 00:17:26,846
And he gave himself a name.

191
00:17:47,967 --> 00:17:51,710
You know this used to be
the town of Montecello?

192
00:17:51,137 --> 00:17:52,539
But at some point,

193
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:55,775
the county decided that the land
would work better as a lake.

194
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:57,610
So they flooded it.

195
00:17:59,450 --> 00:18:02,816
-But there's an entire...
-Hidden city under the water.

196
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,510
We were here last spring, remember?

197
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:06,553
Oh, yeah.

198
00:18:12,726 --> 00:18:14,461
Somebody else is here.

199
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:16,329
lt is a public park.

200
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:21,101
l think he's watching us.

201
00:18:21,167 --> 00:18:23,436
Well, we're very good-looking.

202
00:18:29,750 --> 00:18:30,577
Where'd he go?

203
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:34,948
He went behind that tree.

204
00:18:35,150 --> 00:18:37,450
All right. So he's taking a leak.

205
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:46,326
He's coming towards us.

206
00:18:48,361 --> 00:18:50,363
Oh, my God, he has a gun.

207
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:52,632
Don't move.

208
00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:55,635
-l want your money and your car keys.
-Okay.

209
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:57,937
We're not gonna do anything, okay?

210
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,708
We're gonna cooperate.
Just tell me what you want us to do.

211
00:19:05,378 --> 00:19:06,479
Here.

212
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,351
You're welcome to everything l have.

213
00:19:14,888 --> 00:19:17,323
lf there's anything else
l could do for you...

214
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:19,726
Maybe l could write you a check?

215
00:19:22,295 --> 00:19:24,898
Okay, l could give you
my phone number.

216
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:28,201
You know, l might be able to help you.

217
00:19:28,301 --> 00:19:30,403
Even more than you might think.

218
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,572
He's a sociology major.

219
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,743
Pre-law, actually.

220
00:19:38,845 --> 00:19:40,347
Oh, keys.

221
00:19:40,413 --> 00:19:42,549
You know, l'm sorry, l don't know exactly
where l put my keys.

222
00:19:42,649 --> 00:19:45,652
They might be on the blanket.
ls it okay if...

223
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:51,991
Here's the keys.

224
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:55,261
Don't get up.

225
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,397
l want her to tie you up.

226
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:02,669
Okay.

227
00:20:22,389 --> 00:20:25,425
You know, if he comes any closer,
l might be able to get that gun.

228
00:20:25,525 --> 00:20:27,727
-Don't get any ideas.
-l'm not.

229
00:20:27,794 --> 00:20:30,430
l killed a guard
escaping from prison in Montana.

230
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:32,532
l'm not doing anything, okay?

231
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,801
l'm not afraid to kill again.

232
00:20:36,302 --> 00:20:37,637
Look away.

233
00:20:44,878 --> 00:20:47,280
What was the name of that prison?

234
00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:53,653
Hey, you said it was in Montana, right?

235
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:56,423
l'm taking your car.

236
00:20:56,489 --> 00:20:58,425
l'm going to Mexico.

237
00:20:58,491 --> 00:21:00,593
We didn't complain
when you tied our hands.

238
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:02,662
Okay, you have everything that l have.

239
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:05,598
We have done everything
that you've asked.

240
00:21:05,665 --> 00:21:07,670
lt's okay. lt's okay.

241
00:21:07,133 --> 00:21:09,436
She tied you loose, didn't she?

242
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,641
Get on your stomach
so l can tie your feet.

243
00:21:14,741 --> 00:21:17,243
Okay.
lt gets really cold out here at night.

244
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:18,912
We could freeze.

245
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:29,220
Okay, you all done?

246
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,759
You know,
just because people are gonna ask,

247
00:21:32,826 --> 00:21:34,928
was that thing even loaded?

248
00:21:45,872 --> 00:21:47,207
lt's okay.

249
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:49,976
This is all gonna be okay.

250
00:22:18,905 --> 00:22:22,575
Dispatch, this is 43L2,
heading south on Knoxville Road.

251
00:22:22,676 --> 00:22:26,413
I've got an abandoned white
VW Karmann-Ghia...

252
00:22:40,427 --> 00:22:42,262
Napa Police Department.

253
00:22:42,362 --> 00:22:46,599
I want to report a murder.
No, a double murder.

254
00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:51,438
They are two miles north
of park headquarters.

255
00:22:51,538 --> 00:22:55,108
They were in a white
Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia.

256
00:22:56,676 --> 00:22:58,745
I'm the one that did it.

257
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:00,914
43L2 has a male victim with him.

258
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:03,616
Piner's ambulance
has been dispatched.

259
00:23:04,584 --> 00:23:06,753
Boy lived, the girl didn't. Again.

260
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:09,222
God, can you imagine
surviving something like that?

261
00:23:09,289 --> 00:23:10,724
Writing the dates on the side of the car.

262
00:23:10,790 --> 00:23:13,927
We got two Vallejo killings,
now there's one in Napa. Why Napa?

263
00:23:14,270 --> 00:23:15,929
What the hell is he doing out ofVallejo?

264
00:23:16,290 --> 00:23:19,532
Sweet mother of Christ,
what are you drawing?

265
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:21,101
Kid at the lake.

266
00:23:21,201 --> 00:23:23,360
This is what he said
the Zodiac was wearing.

267
00:23:23,103 --> 00:23:24,371
God, that's a hell of a get-up.

268
00:23:24,437 --> 00:23:27,730
-Paul, what are you doing?
-Hyman, l wrote it. lt's done.

269
00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:28,241
Now l just got to type it up.

270
00:23:28,308 --> 00:23:30,443
Type it up?
lt's not finished until you type it up.

271
00:23:30,543 --> 00:23:32,312
We've got to read it.

272
00:23:34,948 --> 00:23:37,751
-What's that?
-That's the Zodiac at the lake.

273
00:23:37,817 --> 00:23:39,285
What's the story with the kid?

274
00:23:39,386 --> 00:23:41,755
He seems a little touched
or medicated or...

275
00:23:41,821 --> 00:23:42,989
-Graysmith?
-Yeah, what is it?

276
00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:44,591
He's a ****ing boy scout.

277
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,926
He doesn't smoke,
he doesn't drink, he doesn't curse.

278
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:48,428
-And he's back.
-l knew it.

279
00:23:48,495 --> 00:23:49,896
"Man is the most
dangerous animal of all."

280
00:23:49,963 --> 00:23:51,970
l knew that
l heard that from somewhere.

281
00:23:51,164 --> 00:23:53,466
The Most Dangerous Game.

282
00:23:53,566 --> 00:23:56,569
lt's a movie about a Count
who hunts people for sport.

283
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:57,671
People.

284
00:23:57,771 --> 00:23:59,773
The Most Dangerous Game.

285
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:02,942
-Who's that?
-That's Count Zaroff.

286
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:05,178
Zaroff? With a "Z"?

287
00:24:07,814 --> 00:24:09,582
And that will be
all forthe news on the 20.

288
00:24:09,649 --> 00:24:12,152
We've got curfews in effect tonight
forthe following counties,

289
00:24:12,252 --> 00:24:16,189
Napa, Solano, Contra Costa,
Alameda, Marin, and San Mateo.

290
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:18,458
So please, everyone, stay safe.

291
00:24:18,525 --> 00:24:21,828
Vic in San Francisco, you're on the line.
You're not scared ofthe Zodiac?

292
00:24:21,928 --> 00:24:24,998
Heck no,
he's only shooting those farm kids.

293
00:24:25,980 --> 00:24:27,701
What scares me
is those hippies out in the Haight

294
00:24:27,801 --> 00:24:29,669
with theirfree love and weird clothes.

295
00:24:29,769 --> 00:24:31,805
We've got Alfred from Vacaville.

296
00:24:31,871 --> 00:24:34,140
You know, I think
that was really offensive.

297
00:24:34,207 --> 00:24:35,875
It's notjust farm kids.

298
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,844
These are nice, clean-cut young people.

299
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:40,380
Hey, nobody's downplaying
the loss of human life here, Alfred.

300
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,482
Well, that last guy was.

301
00:24:42,549 --> 00:24:45,452
We have good solid communities
out here in the North Bay.

302
00:24:45,518 --> 00:24:49,550
Unlike in the city where you have
Satanists running around.

303
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:52,659
Well, you bring up a good question.
Is the Zodiac a Satanist?

304
00:24:52,726 --> 00:24:54,461
Amberfrom Oakland,
what do you think?

305
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:55,729
I don't really know,

306
00:24:55,829 --> 00:24:58,965
but I thought that code
they printed didn't look very Christian.

307
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,735
But I think the bigger problem
is that the papers shouldn't have printed

308
00:25:01,835 --> 00:25:03,670
anything that the Zodiac
has been doing.

309
00:25:03,737 --> 00:25:06,906
That they'rejust printing
all that stuffto sell more newspapers.

310
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:09,175
Well, the Zodiac did demand
they print his letters

311
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:10,877
or he'd kill more people.

312
00:25:10,977 --> 00:25:12,312
Yeah, but he would have
done it anyway,

313
00:25:12,379 --> 00:25:13,980
whetherthey printed it or not, I think.

314
00:25:14,470 --> 00:25:15,515
An interesting point.

315
00:25:15,582 --> 00:25:17,751
So, what do you think he'll do next?

316
00:25:38,438 --> 00:25:41,875
-San Francisco Police Department.
-Yes. There's a fight in a cab!

317
00:25:41,941 --> 00:25:43,209
What is your location?

318
00:25:43,276 --> 00:25:46,246
3398 Washington,
at the corner of Cherry.

319
00:25:46,346 --> 00:25:48,810
One's drunk and
we think he's robbing him.

320
00:25:48,181 --> 00:25:51,551
-Is the crime still in progress?
-Yes, please hurry.

321
00:25:53,190 --> 00:25:54,621
Oh, my God, look!

322
00:26:17,477 --> 00:26:18,778
Nuts!

323
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,883
Whoever this is,
you owe me a new lamp.

324
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:26,586
Cabbie's been shot
three blocks from the Presidio.

325
00:26:26,653 --> 00:26:28,922
Well, it wasn't me.
l've been with my bride all night.

326
00:26:28,988 --> 00:26:31,958
-She can vouch.
-Go put on the Folgers.

327
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:33,460
You'll pick me up?

328
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,428
Let me just describe
the lamp you're gonna buy me.

329
00:26:44,237 --> 00:26:47,173
-l just got to sleep.
-Suspect's Negro, male adult.

330
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:50,176
Walt's on scene, locked up the cab
and secured the crowd.

331
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:52,779
Seriously, dead asleep.
l lost feeling in my arm and everything.

332
00:26:52,846 --> 00:26:54,180
Crackers.

333
00:26:58,180 --> 00:27:00,860
You ever try Japanese food?

334
00:27:00,153 --> 00:27:02,856
-What do you mean, like teriyaki?
-No, like the urchin.

335
00:27:02,956 --> 00:27:05,358
-Raw fish.
-l'm eating here, Bill.

336
00:27:06,693 --> 00:27:09,662
-l always wanted to try it.
-So, why don't you?

337
00:27:09,763 --> 00:27:11,765
Haven't got around to it.

338
00:27:27,347 --> 00:27:30,483
Evening, gents. What a lovely night
for a botched robbery.

339
00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:33,153
Yeah, third this week.
Must be end of summer rush.

340
00:27:33,219 --> 00:27:36,389
l got foot patrols going through the park,
dogs are on the way.

341
00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:40,827
The victim's name is Paul Stine.
Dousette pronounced him at 10:10.

342
00:27:40,894 --> 00:27:42,996
Suspect fired one shot
to the back of the head.

343
00:27:43,630 --> 00:27:44,998
Driver's wallet
and car keys are missing.

344
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:46,166
How'd you know his name?

345
00:27:46,232 --> 00:27:49,169
Leroy, there, came down
from Yellow Cab to lD him.

346
00:27:49,235 --> 00:27:50,837
Neighborhood's pretty high-end
for this kind of thing,

347
00:27:50,904 --> 00:27:53,173
so l already set up transpo for the cab.

348
00:27:53,239 --> 00:27:54,708
-Coroner's here.
-Any witnesses?

349
00:27:54,808 --> 00:27:58,244
Kids who called it in
saw the suspect from that window.

350
00:27:58,345 --> 00:27:59,846
-Did they hear a shot?
-No.

351
00:27:59,913 --> 00:28:01,470
They first saw him in the front seat,

352
00:28:01,147 --> 00:28:03,490
thought he was a drunk
fighting with the driver.

353
00:28:03,149 --> 00:28:06,152
Oldest kid ran downstairs to get
a better look from the dining room,

354
00:28:06,219 --> 00:28:08,210
described him as a white male, glasses,

355
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,357
crew-cut, stocky,
and wearing a darkjacket.

356
00:28:10,423 --> 00:28:12,225
Wait, l thought someone said
he was black.

357
00:28:12,325 --> 00:28:14,227
That's the description
that went out to radio cars.

358
00:28:14,327 --> 00:28:17,263
-We already corrected it.
-Oh, well, that's good.

359
00:28:17,364 --> 00:28:19,733
-You guys need anything else?
-No. Get out of here.

360
00:28:19,833 --> 00:28:21,768
Thanks. Happy Birthday.

361
00:28:21,868 --> 00:28:24,571
-Wait, it's your birthday?
-Yep.

362
00:28:24,671 --> 00:28:26,840
-That's great. Happy birthday.
-Thanks.

363
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:29,909
-Body or scene?
-lt's your birthday, l'll take the body.

364
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:32,178
Dave, looks like he
wiped the cab down pretty good.

365
00:28:32,245 --> 00:28:34,681
-We got some blood over here.
-Prints?

366
00:28:34,748 --> 00:28:36,616
Could very well be.
We'll dust it at the Hall.

367
00:28:36,716 --> 00:28:39,452
The odd thing is, we also got gloves.

368
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:41,955
-Suspect's?
-There's blood on them.

369
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:44,591
-Hey, Pete?
-Yeah, Dave.

370
00:28:44,691 --> 00:28:45,892
You through over there,
can l get in there?

371
00:28:45,959 --> 00:28:47,627
Yeah, l'm all set.

372
00:28:48,561 --> 00:28:50,597
-Who rolled him?
-Stewarts.

373
00:28:57,470 --> 00:28:59,472
l got a single 9mm casing.

374
00:29:03,977 --> 00:29:05,378
Yeah, Luger.

375
00:29:05,945 --> 00:29:07,781
Nothing from the crowd.

376
00:29:07,881 --> 00:29:10,750
Okay.
l'm your shooter, Negro male adult,

377
00:29:10,817 --> 00:29:14,220
who also happens to be
a stocky, crew-cut Caucasian.

378
00:29:14,287 --> 00:29:16,823
l flag a cab. l give him this address.

379
00:29:16,923 --> 00:29:19,726
Did l give him this address?
Who's got the fare book?

380
00:29:19,793 --> 00:29:21,161
Right here.

381
00:29:23,463 --> 00:29:26,332
Washington and Maple.
That's one block east.

382
00:29:47,454 --> 00:29:48,621
Lighting's the same over here,

383
00:29:48,688 --> 00:29:51,157
so maybe l see
someone walking their dog.

384
00:29:51,257 --> 00:29:54,127
You don't want any witnesses
so you tell him to go down a block.

385
00:29:54,194 --> 00:29:55,295
He pulls over.

386
00:29:55,362 --> 00:29:57,297
l wait for him to put it in park
because l'm smart

387
00:29:57,364 --> 00:29:58,698
and l don't want him
hitting the accelerator

388
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:00,100
when l shoot him. May l?

389
00:30:00,166 --> 00:30:02,535
He stops, puts it in park, boom.

390
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:05,338
l shoot him on the right side,
he slumps right?

391
00:30:05,438 --> 00:30:07,474
Maybe you've got your hand
on his collarwhen you shoot.

392
00:30:07,540 --> 00:30:08,708
All right. So, eitherway,

393
00:30:08,808 --> 00:30:10,510
l just dumped a quart of blood
in the front seat.

394
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:13,780
-So, why do you get in the front seat?
-For the money.

395
00:30:13,847 --> 00:30:14,881
But he's dead.

396
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:16,683
You could just reach over the seat,
pull out his wallet.

397
00:30:16,783 --> 00:30:18,985
You don't have to go
anywhere near the blood.

398
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,554
So, why'd he get in the front seat?

399
00:30:22,550 --> 00:30:23,656
-l'm an idiot.
-But you're not an idiot.

400
00:30:23,723 --> 00:30:25,492
You waited for him to put it in park.

401
00:30:25,558 --> 00:30:27,827
-Right. Thank you.
-Yeah, sure.

402
00:30:29,529 --> 00:30:31,398
-Can l see that?
-Yeah.

403
00:30:31,898 --> 00:30:35,168
l am an idiot.
l just killed a man for $8.25.

404
00:30:35,235 --> 00:30:39,572
lt's his third fare of the night.
Does anyone have any animal crackers?

405
00:30:40,730 --> 00:30:42,342
-Animal crackers?
-They're in the car.

406
00:30:42,409 --> 00:30:44,644
l'm saving those for later.

407
00:30:44,711 --> 00:30:45,912
Fine.

408
00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:54,540
-Are you a reporter?
-No, l'm lnspector Dave Toschi, SFPD.

409
00:30:54,154 --> 00:30:56,690
Sir, l was wondering
if l'd be able to talk to your children,

410
00:30:56,756 --> 00:30:59,250
one at a time and preferably alone?

411
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,394
Theyjust saw a man murdered.

412
00:31:01,494 --> 00:31:02,595
l understand.

413
00:31:02,929 --> 00:31:04,664
lt looked like
they were drunk and fighting.

414
00:31:04,731 --> 00:31:06,320
Yeah, and he had a rag.

415
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:08,535
He came around the side of the car
and he was wiping stuff.

416
00:31:08,601 --> 00:31:11,938
-Did you get a chance to see his face?
-l did.

417
00:31:12,380 --> 00:31:13,573
Well, sort of.

418
00:31:14,841 --> 00:31:17,377
Did you rememberwhat he looked like?

419
00:31:18,845 --> 00:31:20,880
-Normal.
-Yeah.

420
00:31:20,947 --> 00:31:22,282
"Normal?"

421
00:31:44,971 --> 00:31:46,573
"This is the Zodiac speaking.

422
00:31:46,639 --> 00:31:49,420
"I am the murderer ofthe taxi driver

423
00:31:49,109 --> 00:31:52,579
"over by Washington Street
and Maple Street last night.

424
00:31:52,645 --> 00:31:55,810
"To prove this, here is
a blood-stained piece of his shirt.

425
00:31:55,148 --> 00:32:00,120
"l am the same man who did in
the people in the North BayArea.

426
00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:02,789
"The S.F. Police could have
caught me last night

427
00:32:02,889 --> 00:32:04,424
"if they had searched the park properly

428
00:32:04,491 --> 00:32:07,794
"instead of holding road races
with their motorcicles."

429
00:32:07,894 --> 00:32:09,429
-Gentlemen.
-Dave.

430
00:32:09,496 --> 00:32:11,464
Paul. Where's the shirt?

431
00:32:12,832 --> 00:32:14,567
Right there, boss.

432
00:32:15,669 --> 00:32:17,270
There's your rag the kids talked about.

433
00:32:17,337 --> 00:32:19,339
So he got in the front seat
to tear off a piece of the shirt.

434
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:21,841
-ls this on the record?
-Well, what do you think?

435
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:23,977
He confirms
the Vallejo and Napa killings.

436
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:25,645
Gets worse.

437
00:32:25,745 --> 00:32:27,781
Robert, do you have a deadline?

438
00:32:27,847 --> 00:32:30,160
What does he mean, it gets worse?

439
00:32:30,116 --> 00:32:31,518
Read the last part.

440
00:32:31,618 --> 00:32:33,853
"School children make nice targets.

441
00:32:33,953 --> 00:32:36,289
"l think l shall wipe out
a school bus some morning.

442
00:32:36,356 --> 00:32:38,240
"Just shoot out the front tire

443
00:32:38,124 --> 00:32:40,527
"and then pick off the kiddies
as they come bouncing out."

444
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:43,163
Jesus Christ, who's got school buses?
Department of Transportation?

445
00:32:43,263 --> 00:32:45,165
-School board.
-All right.

446
00:32:45,265 --> 00:32:47,534
l'm gonna need elimination prints
from your staff.

447
00:32:47,634 --> 00:32:50,370
ls there anyone here that
didn't touch this letter?

448
00:32:54,607 --> 00:32:56,810
On my way back to my desk.
They have phones, ifyou want.

449
00:32:56,876 --> 00:32:58,478
We need to get matches
on blood and fabric.

450
00:32:58,545 --> 00:32:59,779
l'll call Napa and Vallejo,

451
00:32:59,846 --> 00:33:01,648
get the letters up to Sherwood
in Sacramento.

452
00:33:01,715 --> 00:33:05,151
Dave, just one thing.
ls it true they got a print off the cab?

453
00:33:05,218 --> 00:33:07,620
Yeah, we got a partial in blood.

454
00:33:08,455 --> 00:33:11,624
-But that is not for publication.
-Hey, hey, come on.

455
00:33:11,691 --> 00:33:13,960
Hey, it's me.

456
00:33:14,270 --> 00:33:16,162
Did he say they got a print?

457
00:33:17,230 --> 00:33:18,465
Partial.

458
00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:20,533
Whoa.

459
00:33:21,868 --> 00:33:23,236
Dude, he wears his gun like Bullitt.

460
00:33:23,336 --> 00:33:25,839
No, McQueen got that from Toschi.

461
00:33:25,905 --> 00:33:27,707
Does he think that Zodiac's
gonna send another code?

462
00:33:27,807 --> 00:33:29,642
'Cause l think Zodiac's
gonna send another code.

463
00:33:29,709 --> 00:33:31,745
Jesus Harold Christ
on rubber crutches, Bobby.

464
00:33:31,845 --> 00:33:32,879
What are you doing?

465
00:33:32,979 --> 00:33:34,314
You're doing that thing,
the thing we discussed,

466
00:33:34,381 --> 00:33:36,883
the thing that l don't like.
Starts with an "L."

467
00:33:36,983 --> 00:33:38,885
-Oh, looming.
-Yeah.

468
00:33:38,985 --> 00:33:41,888
ln cooperation with SFPD,
we will run the Zodiac letter

469
00:33:41,988 --> 00:33:44,691
without including the threat
on school children.

470
00:33:44,758 --> 00:33:46,426
We don't want to start a city-wide panic

471
00:33:46,526 --> 00:33:50,300
so l'm asking all ofyou
to please keep this confidential.

472
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,365
Just go about your daily business.

473
00:33:52,432 --> 00:33:53,767
Thank you.

474
00:34:09,449 --> 00:34:12,519
l packed you your carrots and
your celery and peanut butter, okay?

475
00:34:12,585 --> 00:34:15,622
-Dad, you don't have to wait with me.
-l know.

476
00:34:22,929 --> 00:34:26,766
You knowwhat? You knowwhat?
l'm gonna drive him today, okay?

477
00:34:27,233 --> 00:34:28,468
Come on.

478
00:34:46,486 --> 00:34:48,154
What's that?

479
00:34:48,254 --> 00:34:50,824
Similarities in the lowercase "r's."

480
00:34:59,966 --> 00:35:01,101
And that?

481
00:35:01,167 --> 00:35:03,169
lt is you waiting in the hall
ifyou speak again.

482
00:35:03,269 --> 00:35:05,138
l have to concentrate.

483
00:35:05,505 --> 00:35:06,606
Sorry.

484
00:35:06,673 --> 00:35:08,842
"Sorry" counts as speaking.

485
00:35:19,586 --> 00:35:22,589
There are similarities
in the lowercase "r's."

486
00:35:26,626 --> 00:35:29,950
We have to release the bus threat.

487
00:35:29,662 --> 00:35:32,298
-lt'll screw us.
-We're already screwed.

488
00:35:32,365 --> 00:35:34,634
We just went from
"Routine Cabbie Shooting"

489
00:35:34,701 --> 00:35:36,936
to "Mass Murderer Targets Kids."

490
00:35:44,711 --> 00:35:47,814
The Zodiac Killer
has come to San Francisco.

491
00:35:47,881 --> 00:35:48,882
Confirmation tonight,

492
00:35:48,982 --> 00:35:50,950
from the San Francisco
Police Department

493
00:35:51,170 --> 00:35:52,986
that in his latest haunting letter,

494
00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:56,289
which takes credit forthe murder
of cab driver Paul Stine,

495
00:35:56,356 --> 00:35:59,726
the Zodiac has threatened to,
"Wipe out a school bus

496
00:35:59,826 --> 00:36:03,196
"and pick offthe kiddies
as they come bouncing out."

497
00:36:06,633 --> 00:36:09,336
If you think you might know
who the Zodiac is,

498
00:36:09,402 --> 00:36:13,573
you can call the San Francisco
Police Department's newest tip line.

499
00:36:36,696 --> 00:36:39,933
Press conference is at 4:00.
We got to give them something.

500
00:36:40,330 --> 00:36:41,501
We're coordinating
with the school board,

501
00:36:41,568 --> 00:36:43,436
and we expect
a break in the case very soon.

502
00:36:43,536 --> 00:36:45,338
-What do we really got?
-We're swamped.

503
00:36:45,405 --> 00:36:46,773
When they can't get anyone
on the tip line

504
00:36:46,873 --> 00:36:48,575
they call the switchboard
and keep getting put through.

505
00:36:48,675 --> 00:36:49,709
You got any hard suspects?

506
00:36:49,776 --> 00:36:52,512
About 90 an hour. l'm up to around 500.

507
00:36:52,579 --> 00:36:53,713
Well, can't you narrow it down?

508
00:36:53,780 --> 00:36:55,949
l would love to,
if l could get out of this...

509
00:36:56,490 --> 00:36:59,552
-Homicide, please hold.
-Yeah, hold, please.

510
00:36:59,619 --> 00:37:01,388
We're gonna need to tell them
we got the entire force on this.

511
00:37:01,454 --> 00:37:02,756
How many men can you give me?

512
00:37:02,856 --> 00:37:04,891
Well, right now, it's you and Bill
and Monday's a school day.

513
00:37:04,958 --> 00:37:06,893
Yeah, l know, Chief.
l have three daughters of my own.

514
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,895
Yeah, l know. Where's Armstrong?

515
00:37:08,962 --> 00:37:10,463
He's on the phone with Vallejo.

516
00:37:10,563 --> 00:37:12,532
We're playing catch up, Jack.

517
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:15,101
l'd like to set up a meeting
with your survivor, Michael Mageau.

518
00:37:15,201 --> 00:37:16,803
l can't. He skipped town.

519
00:37:16,903 --> 00:37:19,572
The only guy who's seen Zodiac
without a mask is missing?

520
00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:22,776
When he was still in the hospital
we could show him lineups all day long.

521
00:37:22,876 --> 00:37:24,277
As soon as he got out, he split.

522
00:37:24,377 --> 00:37:25,412
Really? Why?

523
00:37:25,478 --> 00:37:27,747
l don't think he wanted
to have anything to do with this.

524
00:37:27,814 --> 00:37:29,983
Can you send us everything
that you have?

525
00:37:30,830 --> 00:37:32,819
Well, the road goes both ways.

526
00:37:32,919 --> 00:37:36,890
Now, we need that print
you lifted from the cab

527
00:37:36,156 --> 00:37:38,910
and we should have been in
on the handwriting.

528
00:37:38,158 --> 00:37:40,460
l apologize.
Things have been moving fast.

529
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,296
Who should I talk to in Napa
so we can coordinate?

530
00:37:43,396 --> 00:37:44,564
Talk to Ken Narlow.

531
00:37:44,631 --> 00:37:46,499
We really should have been in
on the handwriting.

532
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:49,102
I apologize.
Things have been moving fast.

533
00:37:49,169 --> 00:37:50,603
Listen, we're gonna need
your scene photos.

534
00:37:50,670 --> 00:37:51,771
Can't help you.

535
00:37:51,838 --> 00:37:53,773
Ken, I don't want to get into
ajurisdictional thing here.

536
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,476
No, no, no, no, no.
We didn't have a crime scene.

537
00:37:56,576 --> 00:37:59,813
The ranger that found the kids literally
swept everything into a picnic blanket.

538
00:37:59,913 --> 00:38:01,614
All we have are the Wing Walker prints.

539
00:38:01,681 --> 00:38:02,816
The what?

540
00:38:02,916 --> 00:38:04,617
Boot prints to and from the crime scene

541
00:38:04,684 --> 00:38:06,353
were made by size
10-and-a-half Wing Walkers,

542
00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:09,923
military-style boots
sold only at military PXs

543
00:38:10,357 --> 00:38:12,192
designed to walk
on the wings of planes.

544
00:38:12,292 --> 00:38:15,280
And you can't buy at a PX
without a military ID,

545
00:38:15,128 --> 00:38:17,970
so our suspect could be military.

546
00:38:17,163 --> 00:38:18,965
Did you guys narrow your list off of this?

547
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,134
-Yeah.
-Did Vallejo?

548
00:38:21,201 --> 00:38:23,336
l don't know. l don't work in Vallejo.
l work here.

549
00:38:23,436 --> 00:38:25,605
Great. l'm gonna need photos
of those boot prints.

550
00:38:25,672 --> 00:38:27,640
Sure, if you send me the handwriting.

551
00:38:27,707 --> 00:38:29,342
l thought Questioned Documents
already did.

552
00:38:29,442 --> 00:38:30,977
Nope. Vallejo's got them, not us.

553
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,460
All right.
l'll have Questioned Documents...

554
00:38:33,146 --> 00:38:35,480
Forget it. l'll telefax it to you.

555
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:36,649
We don't have telefax yet.

556
00:38:36,716 --> 00:38:39,319
-Okay, l'll put it in the mail.
-We'll mail ours, too.

557
00:38:39,386 --> 00:38:41,121
And call Mulanax in Vallejo.

558
00:38:41,187 --> 00:38:43,323
-Maybe he can get you a mimeo.
-Right.

559
00:38:43,390 --> 00:38:45,792
Why don't you just get a photo
off the original plaster cast?

560
00:38:45,859 --> 00:38:47,994
We'd have to wait,
because they don't have a fax.

561
00:38:48,610 --> 00:38:49,496
We don't have a fax, either.

562
00:38:49,562 --> 00:38:51,331
Look, l'm just trying
to get us coordinated.

563
00:38:51,398 --> 00:38:52,899
Have you called Solano Sheriff's Office?

564
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:54,667
Why would l call Solano?

565
00:38:54,734 --> 00:38:58,338
Because the two kids that got killed
last Christmas were Solano's.

566
00:38:58,405 --> 00:38:59,673
l thought they were Vallejo.

567
00:38:59,739 --> 00:39:01,410
No, they were over the county line

568
00:39:01,141 --> 00:39:03,343
so you're gonna need
to coordinate with them, too.

569
00:39:03,410 --> 00:39:04,878
Okay.

570
00:39:04,978 --> 00:39:06,790
Bill.

571
00:39:06,746 --> 00:39:08,682
Can l have a word with you?

572
00:39:11,584 --> 00:39:13,720
Where did you see this guy?

573
00:39:14,487 --> 00:39:16,923
We got the call to circle the scene
and look for a Negro male adult.

574
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:18,525
Where was he?

575
00:39:18,591 --> 00:39:21,270
On Jackson. Heading east.
About the middle of the block.

576
00:39:21,940 --> 00:39:23,196
And this is three minutes
after the shooting?

577
00:39:23,263 --> 00:39:24,431
Give or take. Yeah.

578
00:39:24,531 --> 00:39:26,766
-And you were heading east orwest?
-We were going west.

579
00:39:26,866 --> 00:39:29,102
All right, so you're
on Jackson going west.

580
00:39:29,202 --> 00:39:32,372
So the cab was one block
catty-corner southwest?

581
00:39:32,439 --> 00:39:34,107
-Correct.
-Did you slow down?

582
00:39:34,207 --> 00:39:35,942
-Of course we slowed down.
-All right.

583
00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:38,278
Listen, Dispatch said
it was a Negro male.

584
00:39:38,378 --> 00:39:39,679
That was corrected.

585
00:39:39,746 --> 00:39:42,415
No, but at the time
they hadn't changed it.

586
00:39:42,515 --> 00:39:44,584
This guy was white.

587
00:39:44,684 --> 00:39:46,553
Right, not in a hurry.
Kind of lumbering along like...

588
00:39:46,619 --> 00:39:49,456
Lumbering?
What do you mean, "lumbering"?

589
00:39:50,523 --> 00:39:53,259
-Shuffling.
-Stocky? Had a crew cut?

590
00:39:54,194 --> 00:39:56,429
Yeah, that's all correct.

591
00:39:56,529 --> 00:39:58,298
Listen, it was dark.

592
00:39:59,199 --> 00:40:01,234
The guy was wearing a darkjacket.
There's no way...

593
00:40:01,301 --> 00:40:03,870
He would have been covered in blood.

594
00:40:05,438 --> 00:40:07,730
Did you stop him?

595
00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:10,910
Did you talk to him?

596
00:40:11,478 --> 00:40:13,446
-Yes? No?
-No.

597
00:40:14,314 --> 00:40:15,815
You need to get with a sketch artist.

598
00:40:15,915 --> 00:40:18,952
We have to put out
a new composite right away.

599
00:40:21,988 --> 00:40:24,958
Five persons have been murdered
in the San Francisco area,

600
00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:26,459
and in each case the killer...

601
00:40:26,559 --> 00:40:29,950
"I shall wipe out a school bus
some morning..."

602
00:40:29,162 --> 00:40:30,830
San Francisco police...

603
00:40:32,665 --> 00:40:35,235
...to see the Stones in concert
this Sunday.

604
00:40:35,502 --> 00:40:37,604
The new letters
from the Zodiac Killerwere sent to

605
00:40:37,671 --> 00:40:39,739
the City room ofthe
San Francisco Chronicle.

606
00:40:39,806 --> 00:40:40,974
One ofthe letters was...

607
00:40:41,740 --> 00:40:43,610
Looming. No looming.

608
00:40:43,677 --> 00:40:46,813
-Have you considered the water theory?
-What?

609
00:40:46,913 --> 00:40:49,783
Geographically, every attack
takes place near a body ofwater

610
00:40:49,849 --> 00:40:50,984
-or a water-based name.
-This is yourwater theory?

611
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Lake Berryessa. Blue Rock Springs.

612
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:56,289
-Lake Herman.
-Wash-ington and Cherry?

613
00:40:57,757 --> 00:40:59,359
You think?

614
00:40:59,459 --> 00:41:00,493
No.

615
00:41:00,593 --> 00:41:01,995
l'm reading this book,

616
00:41:02,950 --> 00:41:03,763
Homicide Investigation
by Lemoyne Snyder...

617
00:41:03,830 --> 00:41:05,265
-"Leymone."
-...and he says you look for patterns,

618
00:41:05,331 --> 00:41:07,467
-so l'm looking for patterns.
-No.

619
00:41:07,534 --> 00:41:09,869
You can't think of this case
in normal police terms.

620
00:41:09,969 --> 00:41:12,138
-Why not?
-You got four crime scenes.

621
00:41:12,205 --> 00:41:15,141
Solano, Vallejo, Berryessa, and here.

622
00:41:15,208 --> 00:41:18,978
Not a single usable print
at the first three or in any of the letters?

623
00:41:19,379 --> 00:41:22,882
How does our master criminal come
to the city and leave a bloody latent?

624
00:41:22,982 --> 00:41:25,552
l mean, assuming the gloves are his,

625
00:41:25,652 --> 00:41:27,354
he shoots the cabbie
and then takes them off?

626
00:41:27,454 --> 00:41:28,655
So it's not his print?

627
00:41:28,722 --> 00:41:30,490
Maybe, maybe not.
You're missing the point.

628
00:41:30,557 --> 00:41:33,193
-The point is the first attack...
-David Faraday and Betty Jensen.

629
00:41:33,293 --> 00:41:34,861
They both die.

630
00:41:34,961 --> 00:41:37,464
From there on out,
he only manages to kill the girls.

631
00:41:37,530 --> 00:41:39,499
-Not for lack of trying.
-Not for lack of trying.

632
00:41:39,566 --> 00:41:43,136
Mageau lives, Ferrin dies.
Hartnell lives, Shepard dies.

633
00:41:43,203 --> 00:41:46,573
He gets so caught up with the women
he forgets to finish off the men.

634
00:41:46,673 --> 00:41:49,900
Plus, they're all couples
and all on lover's lanes.

635
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:50,977
-Paul Stine is not.
-Exactly.

636
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,246
Single, male cab driver
on Washington and Cherry doesn't fit.

637
00:41:53,346 --> 00:41:54,748
Doesn't fit.

638
00:41:55,582 --> 00:41:57,917
So, why does Zodiac kill him?

639
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:02,756
He's breaking the pattern.

640
00:42:11,931 --> 00:42:12,999
Yeah?

641
00:42:13,660 --> 00:42:16,770
Someone claiming to be Zodiac
called Oakland PD a half-hour ago.

642
00:42:16,870 --> 00:42:20,173
He says he's gonna call in on Jim
Dunbar's morning show in three hours.

643
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:21,341
On television?

644
00:42:21,408 --> 00:42:23,510
He wants Melvin Belli on
to counsel him.

645
00:42:23,576 --> 00:42:25,712
All right. All right.
Let's go wake up Melvin.

646
00:42:28,114 --> 00:42:30,500
Animal crackers?

647
00:42:30,116 --> 00:42:31,418
Glove box.

648
00:42:31,518 --> 00:42:33,219
Are these windows bulletproof?

649
00:42:33,286 --> 00:42:35,889
Yes, Melvin.
You don't have to lie down back there.

650
00:42:35,955 --> 00:42:37,190
This man is a marksman,

651
00:42:37,257 --> 00:42:40,930
could snuff me out
at a moment's notice.

652
00:42:40,193 --> 00:42:41,561
Are you sure you're up for this?

653
00:42:41,628 --> 00:42:46,990
Don't you worry about me, lnspector.
l'll be fine when the lights are on.

654
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:47,934
This man has asked for my help.

655
00:42:48,340 --> 00:42:50,103
The man you're worrying about
snuffing you out?

656
00:42:50,203 --> 00:42:52,138
What are these, cookies?

657
00:42:53,807 --> 00:42:55,975
Dear Lord, do you ever clean this car?

658
00:42:56,242 --> 00:42:59,713
-Shit.
-KGO must have tipped other stations.

659
00:43:09,255 --> 00:43:12,225
Get him talking.
Convince him to meet you somewhere.

660
00:43:12,292 --> 00:43:13,593
lfyou see an opportunity,

661
00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:16,429
we want you to suggest
Old St. Mary's Church in Chinatown.

662
00:43:16,496 --> 00:43:17,731
You'll be tracing the call?

663
00:43:17,797 --> 00:43:20,934
Pacific Telephone says you need to
keep him on the line for 15 minutes.

664
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,269
We can do that, can't we, Jim?

665
00:43:25,605 --> 00:43:27,974
Fifteen seconds. Clear the set.

666
00:43:34,314 --> 00:43:36,516
Here you go, you drunken reprobate.

667
00:43:36,616 --> 00:43:40,453
We interrupt our regular program
to bring you this news bulletin.

668
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,489
Welcome to this special edition
of our show

669
00:43:42,589 --> 00:43:44,457
in which we arejoined
by attorney Melvin Belli

670
00:43:44,524 --> 00:43:47,961
who the Zodiac Killer
personally requested to appear.

671
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,863
Finish up, buddy, and put it in the sink.

672
00:43:49,963 --> 00:43:52,966
-Good morning, Melvin.
-Good morning, Jim.

673
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:56,302
So, the phone lines are open.
Mr. Belli is here.

674
00:43:56,369 --> 00:43:57,470
Here to help, Jim.

675
00:43:57,537 --> 00:43:59,372
Yes. Here to help.

676
00:43:59,472 --> 00:44:04,210
And we ask the public not to call in,
so that the Zodiac himself can reach us.

677
00:44:13,219 --> 00:44:16,656
l saw your Star Trek, by the way.
lt was excellent.

678
00:44:16,723 --> 00:44:18,692
A shame about the show.

679
00:44:18,792 --> 00:44:20,293
Good people.

680
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,130
You know, l've often thought of
becoming an actor full-time.

681
00:44:24,197 --> 00:44:25,498
What was your character's name?

682
00:44:25,565 --> 00:44:27,801
-Gorgon.
-Gorgon. That's right.

683
00:44:29,302 --> 00:44:31,204
Roll the tape. Get the tape.

684
00:44:31,304 --> 00:44:33,973
Jim, we have a call. We're going live.

685
00:44:35,208 --> 00:44:36,409
Hello?

686
00:44:39,913 --> 00:44:42,148
Hello? This is Melvin Belli.

687
00:44:43,316 --> 00:44:45,352
Who am l speaking with?

688
00:44:45,418 --> 00:44:47,887
This is the Zodiac speaking.

689
00:44:50,990 --> 00:44:54,894
ls there something l can call you
that's a little less ominous?

690
00:44:56,863 --> 00:45:00,500
Sam.

691
00:45:00,767 --> 00:45:04,437
ls there somewhere we can meet, Sam,
and talk about this?

692
00:45:04,871 --> 00:45:08,174
Meet me on top ofthe Fairmont Hotel.

693
00:45:08,241 --> 00:45:10,430
Without anyone else or I'll jump...

694
00:45:10,110 --> 00:45:11,911
Have a unit go to the Fairmont Hotel.

695
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,280
-Sam.
-Yes?

696
00:45:14,914 --> 00:45:18,385
Do you think you need medical care?

697
00:45:18,451 --> 00:45:20,387
Medical, not mental.

698
00:45:20,453 --> 00:45:22,756
Do you have health problems?

699
00:45:22,856 --> 00:45:24,591
I'm sick. I have headaches.

700
00:45:24,691 --> 00:45:26,426
Headaches?

701
00:45:26,526 --> 00:45:27,894
l have headaches, too,

702
00:45:27,961 --> 00:45:30,697
but a chiropractor stopped them
a week ago.

703
00:45:30,764 --> 00:45:32,599
l think l can help you, Sam.

704
00:45:34,968 --> 00:45:36,302
Sam?

705
00:45:38,204 --> 00:45:40,707
He knows they're tracing his calls.

706
00:45:44,310 --> 00:45:48,415
Sam, we'd like you to know
that we are not tracing these calls.

707
00:45:48,481 --> 00:45:52,752
It's a long, difficult process
and ineffective with these short calls.

708
00:45:58,224 --> 00:45:59,325
Sam?

709
00:46:01,561 --> 00:46:04,664
We're not tracing these calls.
You have my word.

710
00:46:05,565 --> 00:46:06,766
Okay.

711
00:46:07,233 --> 00:46:10,503
Sam, you need to tell me
what your problem is.

712
00:46:10,603 --> 00:46:12,472
I don't want to go to the gas chamber.

713
00:46:12,572 --> 00:46:15,108
I have headaches.
I kill, I don't get them.

714
00:46:15,175 --> 00:46:16,509
That is ****ed up!

715
00:46:16,609 --> 00:46:20,113
You want to live, don't you?
Well, this is your passport.

716
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:21,614
How long have you been
having these headaches?

717
00:46:21,681 --> 00:46:23,683
Since I killed a kid.

718
00:46:24,651 --> 00:46:26,853
-Do you have blackouts?
-Yes.

719
00:46:26,953 --> 00:46:30,690
-Do you have fits?
-No. I just have headaches.

720
00:46:30,790 --> 00:46:32,425
Did you attempt to call one other time

721
00:46:32,492 --> 00:46:35,128
when F. Lee Bailey was with us
two or three weeks ago?

722
00:46:35,195 --> 00:46:36,196
Yes.

723
00:46:36,296 --> 00:46:38,131
And why did you want
to talk to Mr. Bailey?

724
00:46:38,198 --> 00:46:41,167
Why do you wanna talk to me, Sam?

725
00:46:41,267 --> 00:46:42,936
-I don't want to be hurt.
-Why is he calling?

726
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:44,971
-Hey, just a second, buddy.
-I don't wanna go to the gas chamber.

727
00:46:45,380 --> 00:46:46,773
You won't get hurt if you talk to me.

728
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,843
And you're not going
to the gas chamber.

729
00:46:49,943 --> 00:46:52,312
l wouldn't think they would ask
for capital punishment.

730
00:46:52,379 --> 00:46:54,614
We should ask the District Attorney.

731
00:46:54,681 --> 00:46:56,783
Do you want me to do that, Sam?

732
00:46:56,850 --> 00:46:59,552
Do you want me to talk
to the District Attorney?

733
00:47:03,456 --> 00:47:05,225
What was that, Sam?

734
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:08,294
I did not say anything.

735
00:47:08,361 --> 00:47:10,296
We heard a scream.

736
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,233
That was my headache.

737
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,300
You sound like you're in
a great deal of pain.

738
00:47:17,737 --> 00:47:20,807
My head aches. I'm so sick.

739
00:47:22,642 --> 00:47:24,177
I'm gonna kill them.

740
00:47:24,244 --> 00:47:27,800
-Oh, okay.
-I'm gonna kill those kids!

741
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:28,815
Fantastic.

742
00:47:31,351 --> 00:47:32,752
Sam?

743
00:47:34,254 --> 00:47:38,558
-Let's meet and talk. Just us.
-Okay.

744
00:47:38,658 --> 00:47:41,361
How about Old St. Mary's Church
in Chinatown?

745
00:47:41,428 --> 00:47:42,729
No.

746
00:47:42,829 --> 00:47:46,700
In front ofthe Daly City
St. Vincent de Paul at 10:30.

747
00:47:46,766 --> 00:47:48,568
l'll see you there.

748
00:47:50,270 --> 00:47:52,272
Take care ofyourself, Sam.

749
00:48:16,563 --> 00:48:17,764
My, my, my.

750
00:48:17,864 --> 00:48:21,601
You fellows certainly know
how to put on a secret meeting.

751
00:48:23,937 --> 00:48:25,438
You know, the problem is,

752
00:48:25,538 --> 00:48:28,408
I don't want to go to the gas chamber.
I have headaches.

753
00:48:28,475 --> 00:48:30,543
I kill, I don't get them.

754
00:48:30,610 --> 00:48:32,278
No, it's not him.

755
00:48:33,313 --> 00:48:36,449
lt's the voice.
The voice is too high. lt's too young.

756
00:48:36,549 --> 00:48:38,785
All right.
Thanks for coming down, Bryan.

757
00:48:38,885 --> 00:48:40,153
Do you have blackouts?

758
00:48:40,253 --> 00:48:42,122
That's okay. l got it.

759
00:48:48,294 --> 00:48:49,329
They pulled off the trace.

760
00:48:49,429 --> 00:48:52,732
Our Daly City no-show
called from a mental institution.

761
00:48:52,799 --> 00:48:54,667
Oakland PD's operator is sure

762
00:48:54,768 --> 00:48:57,270
the man she talked to
had a deeper voice.

763
00:48:57,337 --> 00:48:58,505
Calmer.

764
00:48:59,339 --> 00:49:01,508
Might have actually been him.

765
00:49:07,847 --> 00:49:11,170
"So l shall change
my way of collecting slaves.

766
00:49:11,117 --> 00:49:14,621
"l shall no longer announce to anyone
when l commit my murders.

767
00:49:14,688 --> 00:49:17,957
"They shall look like routine robberies,
killings of anger

768
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:20,994
"and a few fake accidents, et cetera.

769
00:49:21,940 --> 00:49:22,162
"The police shall never catch me

770
00:49:22,262 --> 00:49:24,664
"because l have been
too clever for them.

771
00:49:24,764 --> 00:49:28,301
"l look like the description passed out
only when l do my thing.

772
00:49:28,368 --> 00:49:31,471
"The rest of the time
l look entirely different.

773
00:49:31,538 --> 00:49:36,420
"l shall not tell you what
my disguise consists ofwhen l kill.

774
00:49:36,643 --> 00:49:39,179
"As ofyet l have left no
fingerprints behind me,

775
00:49:39,279 --> 00:49:41,815
"contrary to what the police say.

776
00:49:41,881 --> 00:49:44,284
"l wear transparent fingertips.

777
00:49:45,218 --> 00:49:49,989
"All it is is two coats of airplane cement
coated on my fingertips.

778
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,527
"l enjoy needling the blue pigs.
Hey, blue pig, l was in the park.

779
00:49:54,627 --> 00:50:00,133
"You were using fire trucks to mask
the sound ofyour cruising prowl cars.

780
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,668
"Hey, pig, doesn't it rile you up

781
00:50:04,904 --> 00:50:08,800
"lfyou cops think l am going to take
on a bus the way l stated l was,

782
00:50:08,740 --> 00:50:11,344
"you deserve to have holes
in your heads."

783
00:50:13,246 --> 00:50:15,482
And you need to look at this.

784
00:50:18,318 --> 00:50:20,687
"Take one bag of
ammonium nitrate fertilizer,

785
00:50:20,754 --> 00:50:22,489
"one gallon of stove oil,

786
00:50:22,555 --> 00:50:24,691
"and dump a few bags
of gravel on top..."

787
00:50:24,758 --> 00:50:26,526
-Okay.
-lt's a bomb.

788
00:50:26,593 --> 00:50:28,395
Okay. We gotta call the Army
and see if this

789
00:50:28,495 --> 00:50:31,231
science experiment could actually work.

790
00:50:31,331 --> 00:50:32,899
Another cipher.

791
00:50:35,101 --> 00:50:37,771
-When did these arrive?
-They arrived this morning.

792
00:50:37,871 --> 00:50:39,272
Are you planning to publish?

793
00:50:39,372 --> 00:50:40,607
Robert.

794
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:44,440
We should have a drink.

795
00:50:48,181 --> 00:50:49,582
Thank you.

796
00:50:51,384 --> 00:50:53,620
So, tell me about yourself.

797
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:57,257
-You married?
-Divorced. Two kids.

798
00:50:58,258 --> 00:51:00,126
What do you do for fun?

799
00:51:01,628 --> 00:51:03,296
l love to read.

800
00:51:04,230 --> 00:51:06,733
-l enjoy books.
-Those are the same things.

801
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,302
Why you been going through my trash?

802
00:51:12,138 --> 00:51:14,740
l'll come back to that.

803
00:51:14,574 --> 00:51:16,242
How did you know
he was gonna send another code?

804
00:51:16,309 --> 00:51:18,780
l just guessed.

805
00:51:18,144 --> 00:51:20,380
-Just guessed.
-The first one seemed too easy.

806
00:51:20,447 --> 00:51:22,782
All right, this can no longer be ignored.

807
00:51:22,882 --> 00:51:26,486
-What is that you're drinking?
-lt's an Aqua Velva.

808
00:51:26,586 --> 00:51:29,489
You wouldn't make fun of it
ifyou tried it.

809
00:51:38,998 --> 00:51:41,434
But who actually cracked the code?

810
00:51:42,168 --> 00:51:44,437
A married couple who like puzzles.

811
00:51:44,504 --> 00:51:46,740
So what's that tell us about the Zodiac?

812
00:51:46,806 --> 00:51:48,108
-He's no expert.
-Right.

813
00:51:48,174 --> 00:51:49,909
lt's just a simple substitution code

814
00:51:49,976 --> 00:51:52,178
like the one that
we used to do as boy scouts.

815
00:51:52,278 --> 00:51:53,947
"A" is one, "B" is two.

816
00:51:54,140 --> 00:51:55,348
We weren't all boy scouts, Robert.

817
00:51:55,448 --> 00:51:58,985
Well, it's not that hard.
You just got to knowwhere to start.

818
00:51:59,850 --> 00:52:00,854
ln the first cipher...

819
00:52:00,954 --> 00:52:02,188
You actually carry that around with you?

820
00:52:02,288 --> 00:52:04,240
-Why?
-No reason.

821
00:52:05,125 --> 00:52:08,595
What's the most common double
consonant in the English language?

822
00:52:08,661 --> 00:52:09,796
Consonant?

823
00:52:09,863 --> 00:52:11,164
-The double "L."
-Double "L."

824
00:52:11,264 --> 00:52:15,135
And what's the one word that we know
that he'll use in here, at least once?

825
00:52:15,201 --> 00:52:16,302
-"Kill."
-Right, "kill."

826
00:52:16,369 --> 00:52:17,837
So the Hardens start looking
for double symbols,

827
00:52:17,937 --> 00:52:19,939
which they find here, here, and here.

828
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,475
Each with the same
two symbols preceding them.

829
00:52:22,542 --> 00:52:24,477
So now they've got
a repeating four-letterword

830
00:52:24,544 --> 00:52:26,646
ending with two symbols
that they assume stand for "L."

831
00:52:26,713 --> 00:52:28,148
And since they think the whole word
is "kill" then...

832
00:52:28,214 --> 00:52:31,651
Then you got your "K," you got your "l,"
and you're on yourway.

833
00:52:31,718 --> 00:52:33,620
But how do you go
from "A" is one and "B" is two

834
00:52:33,687 --> 00:52:35,550
to figuring out this whole code?

835
00:52:35,155 --> 00:52:38,580
Well, same way l did.
You go to the library.

836
00:52:41,361 --> 00:52:43,296
ln this book,

837
00:52:43,363 --> 00:52:47,500
the author presents a very simple
substitution code in the preface.

838
00:52:47,567 --> 00:52:50,503
Eight of the 26 symbols that
he suggests are found in this cipher.

839
00:52:50,570 --> 00:52:51,871
Yeah, but there are non-letter symbols

840
00:52:51,971 --> 00:52:53,373
because there's all
these medieval ones.

841
00:52:53,473 --> 00:52:56,420
l thought they looked medieval, too.

842
00:52:56,910 --> 00:52:58,712
But then l found a code
written in the Middle Ages.

843
00:52:58,812 --> 00:52:59,879
Guess what it's called?

844
00:53:00,647 --> 00:53:02,415
The ZodiacAlphabet.

845
00:53:04,384 --> 00:53:05,585
Jesus.

846
00:53:06,753 --> 00:53:08,188
What do you want out of this?

847
00:53:08,254 --> 00:53:09,823
-What?
-What's your angle?

848
00:53:09,889 --> 00:53:12,759
This is good business
for everyone but you.

849
00:53:15,895 --> 00:53:17,697
How do you mean "business"?

850
00:53:20,734 --> 00:53:23,690
Hey. Come to bed.

851
00:53:23,169 --> 00:53:26,439
l'll be up in a minute.
l need to make a phone call.

852
00:53:38,510 --> 00:53:39,753
-Hello?
-Bill?

853
00:53:40,587 --> 00:53:42,956
There's not many basements
in California.

854
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,225
"Basement forfuture use."

855
00:53:45,291 --> 00:53:46,860
That's right.

856
00:53:46,926 --> 00:53:50,563
I'll have Vallejo and Napa
check with their city planners.

857
00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:52,899
-Get some sleep.
-Yeah, sure.

858
00:54:05,812 --> 00:54:08,648
"Dear Melvin,
this is the Zodiac speaking.

859
00:54:08,748 --> 00:54:10,917
"I wish you a happy Christmas.

860
00:54:10,984 --> 00:54:14,454
"The one thing I ask of you is this.
Please help me.

861
00:54:14,554 --> 00:54:17,957
"l cannot reach out for help
because this thing in me won't let me."

862
00:54:18,580 --> 00:54:19,426
Thank you.

863
00:54:19,492 --> 00:54:22,729
"l am finding it extremely difficult
to hold it in check

864
00:54:22,796 --> 00:54:25,432
"and l am afraid l will lose control again

865
00:54:25,498 --> 00:54:28,334
"and take my ninth
and possibly tenth victim."

866
00:54:28,435 --> 00:54:30,770
Melvin, he's reaching out to you.

867
00:54:30,837 --> 00:54:32,172
Absolutely.

868
00:54:32,272 --> 00:54:35,809
lnspectors, he sent this letter
directly to my residence.

869
00:54:35,909 --> 00:54:38,945
lt is a cry for help,
intended as a private communiqué.

870
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,181
Which is why
you contacted the Chronicle.

871
00:54:41,281 --> 00:54:44,284
The people have a right to know.
Toddy?

872
00:54:44,351 --> 00:54:47,454
-When did the letter arrive?
-ln the middle of last week.

873
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,956
l was away on safari.

874
00:54:50,230 --> 00:54:51,825
What did you gentlemen
do for Christmas?

875
00:54:51,925 --> 00:54:54,260
-You're looking at it.
-You must see Africa.

876
00:54:54,327 --> 00:54:59,532
Cradle of civilization.
Fascinating people. Beautiful. Savage.

877
00:54:59,632 --> 00:55:03,436
-Back to the killerwho wrote to you.
-Yes. Of course.

878
00:55:03,503 --> 00:55:05,438
lt is my belief
that he only penned this letter

879
00:55:05,505 --> 00:55:08,541
because he couldn't get through to me
on the Dunbar show or here.

880
00:55:08,641 --> 00:55:11,177
-He tried to contact you here?
-Several times.

881
00:55:11,277 --> 00:55:13,446
l was out,
but he spoke with my housekeeper.

882
00:55:13,513 --> 00:55:14,614
Didn't leave a number.

883
00:55:14,681 --> 00:55:17,217
He's kind of crafty like that.
Do you mind if l speak to her?

884
00:55:17,317 --> 00:55:20,453
Not at all. But the real story is the letter.

885
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,622
-l'll be back.
-Yeah.

886
00:55:22,689 --> 00:55:23,823
She's right this way.

887
00:55:23,890 --> 00:55:29,295
lnspector Toschi, it is my belief
this is a window into this man's soul.

888
00:55:29,362 --> 00:55:31,640
Killing is his compulsion.

889
00:55:31,164 --> 00:55:33,800
Even though he tries to ignore it,
it drives him.

890
00:55:33,867 --> 00:55:34,901
lt's in his blood.

891
00:55:35,100 --> 00:55:38,710
Could be.
Or maybe he just likes the attention.

892
00:56:21,915 --> 00:56:27,220
l didn't mean to scare you,
but your right rearwheel is loose.

893
00:56:27,287 --> 00:56:28,355
Really?

894
00:56:28,421 --> 00:56:31,958
lfyou like,
l could tighten the lugs up for you.

895
00:56:34,527 --> 00:56:35,695
lfyou don't mind.

896
00:56:35,762 --> 00:56:38,264
Well, you can't be too careful.

897
00:57:12,665 --> 00:57:15,101
-All done.
-Thank you.

898
00:57:15,168 --> 00:57:17,437
No problem. Have a good night.

899
00:57:22,342 --> 00:57:23,677
lt's okay.

900
00:58:18,310 --> 00:58:19,699
Are you okay?

901
00:58:21,167 --> 00:58:23,870
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.

902
00:58:24,671 --> 00:58:27,140
Must have been worse than l thought.

903
00:58:27,207 --> 00:58:30,760
l can give you a lift to a service station.

904
00:58:32,312 --> 00:58:33,413
Okay.

905
00:58:39,753 --> 00:58:41,821
lt's okay. Come on.

906
00:58:49,496 --> 00:58:51,698
l didn't know you had a baby.

907
00:58:53,366 --> 00:58:55,680
Oh, is that okay?

908
00:58:56,603 --> 00:58:58,438
The more the merrier.

909
00:59:07,947 --> 00:59:10,617
You shouldn't smoke. lt's a bad habit.

910
00:59:17,570 --> 00:59:20,727
-l think we just passed a filling station.
-lt was closed.

911
00:59:26,132 --> 00:59:29,235
Do you always go around
helping people in the night?

912
00:59:29,302 --> 00:59:32,639
When l'm done with them,
they don't need much help.

913
00:59:35,475 --> 00:59:37,243
lt's okay.

914
00:59:37,310 --> 00:59:39,379
Before l kill you,

915
00:59:39,446 --> 00:59:42,315
l'm gonna throw your baby
out the window.

916
00:59:55,795 --> 00:59:58,998
No! Help! Please! No!

917
01:00:05,905 --> 01:00:08,808
She was on the side of the road.
She flagged me down.

918
01:00:08,908 --> 01:00:10,577
-What happened to her?
-She said she jumped from a car.

919
01:00:10,643 --> 01:00:12,479
l found her like this.

920
01:00:12,579 --> 01:00:15,482
-What is it?
-Please, he said...

921
01:00:15,582 --> 01:00:18,451
-lt'll be okay.
-Tried to kill me.

922
01:00:18,518 --> 01:00:20,200
My baby!

923
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,523
-Where's her baby?
-She didn't have one when l stopped.

924
01:00:23,623 --> 01:00:25,291
Where's your baby?

925
01:00:31,765 --> 01:00:32,999
Jesus.

926
01:00:40,674 --> 01:00:43,143
-You hid it?
-ln case he came back.

927
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,325
"This is the Zodiac speaking.

928
01:00:59,959 --> 01:01:03,296
"By the way, have you cracked
the last cipher I sent you?

929
01:01:03,363 --> 01:01:07,133
"I'm mildly curious as to how much
money you have on my head now.

930
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,400
"I hope you do not think I was the one
who wiped out that blue meanie

931
01:01:11,710 --> 01:01:13,730
"with a bomb at the cop station,

932
01:01:13,173 --> 01:01:15,675
"even though I talked about
killing children with one."

933
01:01:15,742 --> 01:01:17,177
"This is the Zodiac speaking.

934
01:01:17,243 --> 01:01:20,580
"I'd like to see some nice Zodiac
buttons wandering around town.

935
01:01:21,348 --> 01:01:22,849
"Everyone else has these buttons

936
01:01:22,916 --> 01:01:26,419
"like peace, black power,
and Melvin eats blubber, et cetera.

937
01:01:26,653 --> 01:01:28,210
"It would cheer me up considerably

938
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,490
"if I saw a lot of people
wearing my button.

939
01:01:30,557 --> 01:01:33,259
-"Please no nasty ones."
-"This is the Zodiac speaking.

940
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,262
"I shot a man
sitting in a parked carwith a .38.

01:01:36,363 --> 01:01:39,666
"Zodiac 12, SFPD zero."

942

"The map coupled with this code
will tell you where the bomb is set.

01:01:43,203 --> 01:01:45,939
"You have until next fall to dig it up."

944
01:01:48,408 --> 01:01:49,876
"This is the Zodiac speaking.

01:01:49,943 --> 01:01:51,745
"I'm rather unhappy because you people

"will not wear

"So, l now have a little list,
starting with the woman and her baby

"that l gave a rather interesting ride

"for a couple of hours one evening,
a few months back,

"that ended in my burning her car
where l found them."

951
01:02:02,455 --> 01:02:04,691
We're really not gonna run
any more of his letters?

952
01:02:04,758 --> 01:02:07,360
The new policy. Our brothers in blue
want us to hold back

953
01:02:07,427 --> 01:02:09,290
and see how he reacts.

954
01:02:09,950 --> 01:02:11,231
Four letters in three months,

955
01:02:11,297 --> 01:02:14,300
and this is the first mention
of Kathleen Johns. That's very weird.

956
01:02:14,401 --> 01:02:17,737
That's because he's full of shit.

957
01:02:18,972 --> 01:02:20,640
What do you mean?

958
01:02:21,908 --> 01:02:23,109
You don't know?

959
01:02:24,778 --> 01:02:29,582
Welcome. Please put your stuff down.
You're going down five rows and left.

960
01:02:29,649 --> 01:02:32,252
Looking for the Modesto Bee
from March.

961
01:02:32,318 --> 01:02:35,422
l'm going to stand here
and attempt not to vomit.

962
01:02:35,488 --> 01:02:37,490
-Left.
-Left.

963
01:02:38,491 --> 01:02:40,994
-What am l looking for?
-Kathleen Johns.

964
01:02:41,940 --> 01:02:42,295
Also probably you wanna
pull the Chron from...

965
01:02:42,395 --> 01:02:45,565
You know, never mind. l'll see to that.

966
01:02:46,666 --> 01:02:49,102
Okay, look at this letter again.
The part about Kathleen Johns.

967
01:02:49,169 --> 01:02:51,710
Tell me what facts he gives.

968
01:02:51,137 --> 01:02:54,341
-A woman and her baby abducted.
-Fact.

969
01:02:56,509 --> 01:02:58,678
-The car on fire.
-Okay, now,

970
01:03:00,146 --> 01:03:02,582
look at the article from the Bee.

971
01:03:03,249 --> 01:03:04,818
Seen it yet?

972
01:03:04,918 --> 01:03:06,820
Everything in the letter
already appeared in the article.

973
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,855
And he's done it before.

974
01:03:10,230 --> 01:03:12,692
Officer Richard Radetich,
shot sitting in his car.

975
01:03:12,792 --> 01:03:14,961
Zodiac claimed that he shot someone
in their car.

976
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,598
Couple days after this article came out.

977
01:03:18,665 --> 01:03:20,333
The police already had somebody
in custody.

978
01:03:20,433 --> 01:03:23,200
Zodiac didn't do it,
but took credit for it anyway

979
01:03:23,103 --> 01:03:25,438
because he's in it for the press.

980
01:03:25,505 --> 01:03:26,873
He even stole his symbol.

981
01:03:26,973 --> 01:03:29,275
-What?
-Yeah. Shit.

982
01:03:29,342 --> 01:03:31,110
lf l show you something,
you promise not to tell anyone?

983
01:03:31,111 --> 01:03:34,381
-Who would l tell?
-Okay. Totally solid point. Okay.

984
01:03:42,222 --> 01:03:43,957
That's the only place
that word and that symbol

985
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,493
ever appeared together
before the letters.

986
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:48,128
The guy stole his logo off a watch.

987
01:03:48,194 --> 01:03:49,496
How can somebody
who's killed 13 people do...

988
01:03:49,562 --> 01:03:50,830
He claims he's killed 13 people,

989
01:03:50,897 --> 01:03:52,465
but which ones
can we actually confirm?

990
01:03:52,532 --> 01:03:56,569
There's three in Vallejo,
one in Berryessa, the cabbie. That's it.

991
01:03:58,204 --> 01:04:00,740
Bobby, you almost look disappointed.

992
01:04:01,574 --> 01:04:04,770
Chief's pulling everybody off buses.

993
01:04:04,711 --> 01:04:06,312
Business as usual.

994
01:04:06,379 --> 01:04:08,480
Something'll shake loose.

995
01:04:08,148 --> 01:04:10,350
Not a peep in four months.

996
01:04:10,417 --> 01:04:12,886
First he won't shut up and now...

997
01:04:12,986 --> 01:04:15,255
Maybe we drove him underground.

998
01:04:15,922 --> 01:04:17,557
Maybe he's gone.

999
01:04:18,591 --> 01:04:21,661
311 at 582 Haight, cross at Biltmore.
There's a male...

1000
01:04:21,728 --> 01:04:23,930
-Happy birthday, Bill.
-Thanks.

1001
01:04:34,174 --> 01:04:36,443
Does it ever bother you
that people call you Shorty?

1002
01:04:36,543 --> 01:04:39,450
Does it bother you
that people call you a retard?

1003
01:04:39,112 --> 01:04:41,948
-Nobody calls me that.
-Right.

1004
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,618
As governor,
I pledge to use all my influence

1005
01:04:45,719 --> 01:04:50,390
to make sure that Darlene Ferrin's killer
is brought tojustice.

1006
01:04:50,457 --> 01:04:55,610
I believe some clues were overlooked
in the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

1007
01:04:55,128 --> 01:04:56,963
-I believe her murderwas premeditated.
-Who is that?

1008
01:04:57,630 --> 01:05:00,660
Florence Douglas, mayor ofVallejo.
She's running for governor.

1009
01:05:00,133 --> 01:05:03,360
I believe that the police department
either did not have the money, the time

1010
01:05:03,103 --> 01:05:05,138
or, yes, the inclination...

1011
01:05:05,238 --> 01:05:08,608
Sayonara, police endorsement.
Good work, Flo.

1012
01:05:08,708 --> 01:05:11,311
Does anyone ever call me names, or...

1013
01:05:12,412 --> 01:05:14,280
You mean like retard?

1014
01:05:14,381 --> 01:05:15,648
Yeah.

1015
01:05:16,583 --> 01:05:17,650
No.

1016
01:05:21,955 --> 01:05:25,992
Shit. ****. Oh, my God. Jesus.

1017
01:05:30,230 --> 01:05:32,980
Tell me that's not a piece
of bloody shirt!

1018
01:05:32,165 --> 01:05:33,733
****! Holy ****ing crap!

1019
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,169
"l feel it in my bones,
you ache to know my name

1020
01:05:36,403 --> 01:05:38,772
"and so l'll clue you in.

1021
01:05:38,838 --> 01:05:41,975
"But then, why spoil the game?
Happy Halloween."

1022
01:05:47,313 --> 01:05:48,615
in at least one ofyour articles.

1023
01:05:48,682 --> 01:05:51,251
Dave. l want a gun.

1024
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,255
A gun?

1025
01:05:59,826 --> 01:06:01,461
You're in Herb Caen.

1026
01:06:01,528 --> 01:06:04,300
"Paul Avery's investigation
has won him the accolade

1027
01:06:04,130 --> 01:06:07,133
"of a message from the Zodiac warning,
'You are doomed.'

1028
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,537
"As a result, several crime newsmen
are wearing lapel buttons reading,

1029
01:06:10,637 --> 01:06:12,772
"'l am not Paul Avery."'

1030
01:06:12,839 --> 01:06:14,974
You should sell these.
You could do well.

1031
01:06:15,410 --> 01:06:17,711
lt's been a windfall, since
they published the threat on my life.

1032
01:06:17,811 --> 01:06:19,479
l got the leads
coming out of the woodwork.

1033
01:06:19,546 --> 01:06:22,515
There's one guy down in Riverside.

1034
01:06:22,615 --> 01:06:23,783
l'm gonna drive down
and see him tonight.

1035
01:06:23,850 --> 01:06:27,554
-You wanna tag along?
-No, l have a date.

1036
01:06:28,221 --> 01:06:30,523
-Really?
-Who is this guy?

1037
01:06:30,623 --> 01:06:34,194
He wishes to remain anonymous.
l wish to remain infamous.

1038
01:06:34,294 --> 01:06:38,631
So we're going to get along great.

1039
01:06:45,372 --> 01:06:48,800
Hi. Good evening. Hi.
l'm looking for a Melanie.

1040
01:06:48,740 --> 01:06:50,100
Yes.
lt's the young lady sitting by herself.

1041
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:51,411
Thank you.

1042
01:06:57,751 --> 01:06:59,850
You must be Melanie.

1043
01:06:59,185 --> 01:07:01,870
-Which would make you Robert.
-lt would.

1044
01:07:01,187 --> 01:07:04,391
Glynnis told me lots about you.

1045
01:07:04,491 --> 01:07:06,192
-And you have wine, great.
-l do.

1046
01:07:06,259 --> 01:07:08,228
Great. How late am l?

1047
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:12,665
Just a few minutes, really.
l just got here myself.

1048
01:07:12,732 --> 01:07:15,835
Traffic's bumper to bumper.
l was at the gun range.

1049
01:07:15,902 --> 01:07:19,500
-Glynnis said you were a cartoonist.
-Oh, yeah.

1050
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:20,907
Well, what're you doing at a gun range?

1051
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:22,575
Reading.

1052
01:07:22,676 --> 01:07:25,612
Get some more...
You need some more napkins.

1053
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,820
So, you work with Glynnis.

1054
01:07:29,182 --> 01:07:31,117
-For her, actually.
-For her?

1055
01:07:31,217 --> 01:07:32,886
Oh, well...

1056
01:07:34,721 --> 01:07:36,790
My children are terrified of Glynnis.

1057
01:07:36,890 --> 01:07:38,191
Me, too.

1058
01:07:41,561 --> 01:07:42,729
So, the gun range?

1059
01:07:42,796 --> 01:07:45,765
We're... l'm working on...
Do you know the Zodiac?

1060
01:07:45,865 --> 01:07:47,200
-Yeah.
-l'm working with...

1061
01:07:47,267 --> 01:07:49,736
-Do you knowwho Paul Avery is?
-Sounds kind of familiar.

1062
01:07:49,803 --> 01:07:51,571
He's the writer
that the Zodiac threatened.

1063
01:07:51,638 --> 01:07:52,906
Oh, yeah, l saw that on TV.

1064
01:07:52,972 --> 01:07:56,109
Well, l work near him
and he's going down tonight

1065
01:07:56,209 --> 01:07:59,412
to track an anonymous tipster
down in Riverside.

1066
01:08:00,547 --> 01:08:02,615
Where is Riverside?

1067
01:08:02,716 --> 01:08:04,217
lt's near L.A.

1068
01:08:04,284 --> 01:08:07,921
Oh, wow. l don't think Paul knows
that it's that far away.

1069
01:08:10,900 --> 01:08:12,125
Sounds kind of dangerous.

1070
01:08:13,326 --> 01:08:16,262
Yeah. How do you mean?

1071
01:08:16,329 --> 01:08:18,765
Well, you said it was
an anonymous tip, right?

1072
01:08:18,832 --> 01:08:20,300
Yeah.

1073
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,970
So it could be an ambush.
l mean, it could be the Zodiac.

1074
01:08:25,472 --> 01:08:27,907
Don't you think it's kind of stupid?

1075
01:08:27,974 --> 01:08:30,643
Yeah, yeah. Well, Paul has a gun.

1076
01:08:34,447 --> 01:08:36,950
So, do you knowwhat's good here?

1077
01:08:38,752 --> 01:08:40,920
l've never been here before.

1078
01:08:43,230 --> 01:08:45,250
The pasta, spaghetti?

1079
01:08:46,693 --> 01:08:48,828
Are you ready to order yet?

1080
01:08:49,863 --> 01:08:52,665
Yeah, l'll have the penne vodka.
But could you do it in a cream sauce?

1081
01:08:52,766 --> 01:08:54,100
Of course.

1082
01:08:59,390 --> 01:09:01,274
Maybe give us another minute?

1083
01:09:03,109 --> 01:09:05,450
Do you have any change?

1084
01:09:05,145 --> 01:09:07,313
Oh, wait, no wait, hold on.

1085
01:09:07,380 --> 01:09:08,982
Nope. That's a penny.

1086
01:09:09,490 --> 01:09:10,483
Do you have to make a phone call?

1087
01:09:10,550 --> 01:09:14,540
Yeah, you know,
when you were saying that the Zodiac...

1088
01:09:14,621 --> 01:09:16,322
You know, when you said it
was dangerous, l just thought

1089
01:09:16,389 --> 01:09:18,458
-that it is dangerous, and it's...
-Stupid?

1090
01:09:18,525 --> 01:09:20,160
Stupid. And l just thought that

1091
01:09:20,226 --> 01:09:23,997
l should call his wife
and just see if she's heard from him.

1092
01:09:26,299 --> 01:09:27,734
l have some change.

1093
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,223
Okay. Well, she said
she'd call when she heard from him.

1094
01:09:50,323 --> 01:09:51,758
-Good.
-Yeah.

1095
01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:56,596
Melanie, l should really go home
and wait for the call.

1096
01:09:59,733 --> 01:10:03,236
ls this some sleazy plan
to get me to go home with you?

1097
01:10:03,903 --> 01:10:05,405
What? No.

1098
01:10:07,874 --> 01:10:09,876
l'll get the food to go.

1099
01:10:11,544 --> 01:10:12,712
Hello!

1100
01:10:28,895 --> 01:10:31,731
Hi! l'm supposed
to meet somebody here.

1101
01:10:49,949 --> 01:10:51,384
Anything?

1102
01:10:54,988 --> 01:10:56,256
You don't have to stay.

1103
01:10:56,322 --> 01:10:57,791
Are you kidding?

1104
01:10:57,891 --> 01:11:00,994
This is the most interesting date
l've ever had.

1105
01:11:05,265 --> 01:11:06,399
-Paul?
-Robert?

1106
01:11:06,466 --> 01:11:08,680
-Yes.
-You sitting down?

1107
01:11:08,134 --> 01:11:09,269
Yes.

1108
01:11:09,335 --> 01:11:11,137
You're not gonna believe this.

1109
01:11:11,237 --> 01:11:12,272
Dave!

1110
01:11:12,339 --> 01:11:14,941
In a bizarre twist,
the hunted has become hunter.

1111
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,812
San Francisco Chronicle reporter
and Zodiac target Paul Avery

1112
01:11:18,912 --> 01:11:20,980
claims to have uncovered
new information

1113
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:25,585
regarding the only unsolved homicide
in Riverside County's history,

1114
01:11:25,652 --> 01:11:28,822
a 1966 Southern California murder,

1115
01:11:28,922 --> 01:11:31,925
that Avery now believes
was the Zodiac's first victim.

1116
01:11:31,991 --> 01:11:32,992
What?

1117
01:11:33,930 --> 01:11:34,294
-He didn't call you about this?
-Hang on!

1118
01:11:34,361 --> 01:11:35,862
The Riverside killer
wrote to the press letters

1119
01:11:35,962 --> 01:11:39,799
that I then took personally to
the Office of Questioned Documents.

1120
01:11:39,866 --> 01:11:42,102
And what did this expert tell you?

1121
01:11:42,168 --> 01:11:43,703
What I knew in my gut, Ron.

1122
01:11:43,803 --> 01:11:46,272
The handwriting matches Zodiac's.

1123
01:11:46,339 --> 01:11:48,675
How'd he get the evidence
out of Riverside?

1124
01:11:48,775 --> 01:11:50,977
He took it to Sherwood
without telling us, the son of a *****.

1125
01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:52,312
You know how bad this looks?

1126
01:11:52,379 --> 01:11:54,614
Hey, how do we know
that this lead is real?

1127
01:11:54,681 --> 01:11:56,983
lt's very real. You know how l know?

1128
01:11:57,500 --> 01:11:58,952
Because l saw it on TV.

1129
01:12:04,958 --> 01:12:05,959
Excuse me.

1130
01:12:06,260 --> 01:12:07,193
Dave.

1131
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:08,661
Hi.

1132
01:12:08,728 --> 01:12:10,897
Dave, you know Mel Nicolai.
He's working the case for Justice.

1133
01:12:10,997 --> 01:12:12,165
Good to see you, Mel.

1134
01:12:12,232 --> 01:12:14,167
All due respect,
can someone explain to me

1135
01:12:14,234 --> 01:12:15,869
why l'm reading
about breaks in this case

1136
01:12:15,969 --> 01:12:17,837
in the Chronicle instead
of getting calls from you?

1137
01:12:17,904 --> 01:12:19,500
We got screwed.

1138
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:20,240
Dave, come on.

1139
01:12:20,340 --> 01:12:22,342
You do get your name in the paper a lot.
People talk.

1140
01:12:22,409 --> 01:12:25,311
l don't ever talk about an open
investigation, period. Okay, Ken?

1141
01:12:25,378 --> 01:12:28,181
Dave? Hey. Hi.

1142
01:12:28,248 --> 01:12:30,850
Paul Avery. Can l catch a ride
with you gents when we get there?

1143
01:12:30,917 --> 01:12:32,752
Not a good idea, Paul.

1144
01:12:33,586 --> 01:12:36,523
He's gonna make me take a cab
when we're going to the same place.

1145
01:12:36,589 --> 01:12:39,192
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for choosing PSA.

1146
01:12:39,259 --> 01:12:41,394
-Fair enough. Fair enough.
-Please take your seats at this time.

1147
01:12:41,494 --> 01:12:44,664
Remember, smoking is
in the last six aisles only.

1148
01:12:44,731 --> 01:12:46,399
Enjoy yourflight.

1149
01:12:50,236 --> 01:12:52,339
-Cross? Hi.
-Yeah.

1150
01:12:52,405 --> 01:12:54,708
-lnspector David Toschi, SFPD.
-How are you doing?

1151
01:12:54,774 --> 01:12:56,276
Great. Thanks for having us
down today.

1152
01:12:56,376 --> 01:12:58,878
Not at all.
l hear you have some files for us.

1153
01:12:58,945 --> 01:13:00,513
l'll show you mine. You show me yours.

1154
01:13:00,580 --> 01:13:02,949
-Frisco huh?
-That's right. San Francisco.

1155
01:13:03,583 --> 01:13:05,510
-Ken Narlow from Napa.
-Ken.

1156
01:13:05,118 --> 01:13:06,886
-Mel Nicolai, Justice.
-Mel.

1157
01:13:06,953 --> 01:13:07,921
Here's what we know.

1158
01:13:08,210 --> 01:13:10,590
Cheri Jo Bates attended
Riverside Community College.

1159
01:13:10,690 --> 01:13:14,961
She studies in the library
the night of October 30th, 1966.

1160
01:13:15,950 --> 01:13:18,898
She leaves with an unidentified male
at closing, 9:00 p.m.

1161
01:13:18,965 --> 01:13:22,736
Her body's found the next morning
in a parking lot, stabbed to death.

1162
01:13:22,802 --> 01:13:24,104
Her car is disabled.

1163
01:13:24,204 --> 01:13:27,207
Someone cut the coil in the distributor,
the battery died.

1164
01:13:27,273 --> 01:13:29,709
The someone comes back,
offers to help.

1165
01:13:29,776 --> 01:13:31,911
-Like Kathleen Johns.
-Who?

1166
01:13:31,978 --> 01:13:34,714
A woman outside of Modesto,
might be a Zodiac victim.

1167
01:13:34,781 --> 01:13:38,284
Might. Might be.
l have her comp right here in this file.

1168
01:13:38,385 --> 01:13:39,586
Okay.

1169
01:13:39,652 --> 01:13:42,789
A typewritten confession was sent
to the Riverside Press Enterprise

1170
01:13:42,889 --> 01:13:45,658
on November 29th,
a month after Bates's murder.

1171
01:13:45,759 --> 01:13:47,160
They ran it.

1172
01:13:49,429 --> 01:13:52,132
"l'm not sick. l am insane.
But that will not stop the game.

1173
01:13:52,232 --> 01:13:54,434
"This letter should be published
for all to read."

1174
01:13:54,501 --> 01:13:55,835
He wants to be published.
He calls it a game.

1175
01:13:55,935 --> 01:13:57,303
l mean, this could be our boy.

1176
01:13:57,404 --> 01:14:00,740
Six months later, the police,
the girl's father, and the paper,

1177
01:14:00,807 --> 01:14:02,776
they all received these.

1178
01:14:07,580 --> 01:14:09,416
Double postage, just like Zodiac.

1179
01:14:10,984 --> 01:14:13,853
These are what Sherwood Morrill
matched to the Zodiac letters?

1180
01:14:13,953 --> 01:14:15,989
These and the desktop. Don.

1181
01:14:16,890 --> 01:14:20,427
This was found a couple of months later
by a janitor in RCC storage.

1182
01:14:29,369 --> 01:14:32,500
Sherwood got
a handwriting match offwood?

1183
01:14:33,873 --> 01:14:36,176
Who etches in their own handwriting?

1184
01:14:36,276 --> 01:14:37,444
To be honest with you,

1185
01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:39,879
our letters and your letters,
l don't see it.

1186
01:14:39,979 --> 01:14:42,549
How did Paul Avery
get his hands on the exemplars?

1187
01:14:42,649 --> 01:14:43,983
l gave them to him.

1188
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:45,985
We talked on the phone the other day
for about an hour.

1189
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:47,520
And l told him you were gonna be here.

1190
01:14:47,620 --> 01:14:49,322
-You told him we were meeting?
-Yeah.

1191
01:14:49,389 --> 01:14:51,624
l also told him
we don't think this is Zodiac.

1192
01:14:51,691 --> 01:14:53,793
Okay, wait a minute.

1193
01:14:53,860 --> 01:14:56,963
-You don't think this is Zodiac?
-We got a guy we like for it.

1194
01:14:57,300 --> 01:14:58,631
We don't have enough
to pin it on him yet,

1195
01:14:58,698 --> 01:14:59,966
but we're pretty sure it's him.

1196
01:15:00,330 --> 01:15:02,902
lfyou don't think this is Zodiac,
then why give anything to Avery?

1197
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:04,671
l'm trying to cooperate.

1198
01:15:04,738 --> 01:15:07,540
Oh, that's how you cooperate?
By giving information to reporters?

1199
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:09,175
Look, l don't know
about the handwriting,

1200
01:15:09,242 --> 01:15:10,510
but Sherwood says it's a match, right?

1201
01:15:10,577 --> 01:15:13,130
So, let's just say
that your guy did Cheri Jo.

1202
01:15:13,790 --> 01:15:14,247
He types the confession.

1203
01:15:14,347 --> 01:15:17,517
Zodiac reads it in the paper,
and he writes a letter taking credit for it.

1204
01:15:17,584 --> 01:15:19,152
Now, that's something he's done before.

1205
01:15:19,219 --> 01:15:21,855
Look, now you have everything we have.

1206
01:15:21,921 --> 01:15:25,225
But, in my opinion,
you guys came south for nothing.

1207
01:15:25,325 --> 01:15:27,427
FUBAR, gentlemen, FUBAR.

1208
01:15:27,527 --> 01:15:30,263
l don't care what he says.
This still could be Z.

1209
01:15:30,363 --> 01:15:33,566
The problem is
the entire state already thinks it is.

1210
01:15:33,666 --> 01:15:37,370
Well, there's your press agent.
Talk to him about it.

1211
01:15:39,539 --> 01:15:41,508
l come in peace.
l don't want any trouble.

1212
01:15:41,574 --> 01:15:43,543
l really don't want to talk to you
right now, Paul. Not now.

1213
01:15:43,610 --> 01:15:47,580
-Just trying to do myjob.
-Oh, really? Well, now l can't do mine.

1214
01:15:47,681 --> 01:15:49,716
We're already screwed with
the amount of tips we got on this thing,

1215
01:15:49,783 --> 01:15:51,551
and you just freaked out the entire state.

1216
01:15:51,618 --> 01:15:54,921
l have got Napa, Vallejo, and DOJ
looking at me sideways

1217
01:15:55,210 --> 01:15:57,857
and Riverside's telling me
l'm on a snipe hunt!

1218
01:15:57,924 --> 01:16:00,560
Jesus. Hey, Cheri Jo Bates was a gift.
l gave that to you.

1219
01:16:00,627 --> 01:16:02,228
You and Armstrong
neverwould have found her.

1220
01:16:02,295 --> 01:16:04,597
This may not be Zodiac.
Does that matter to you?

1221
01:16:04,698 --> 01:16:06,660
-What if it is?
-Does it matter that Riverside may not

1222
01:16:06,132 --> 01:16:08,234
be able to make a case
against their suspect because ofyou?

1223
01:16:08,301 --> 01:16:10,236
Tell it to Sherwood.
l'm out here, beating the bushes,

1224
01:16:10,303 --> 01:16:11,905
trying to draw him out.
We're in this together.

1225
01:16:11,971 --> 01:16:13,373
No, we're not in anything together, Paul,

1226
01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:15,308
because l'm not interested
in upping my circulation.

1227
01:16:15,408 --> 01:16:18,278
Oh, boy. He wrote me.
He threatened my life.

1228
01:16:18,378 --> 01:16:19,979
Hey, Bullitt!

1229
01:16:20,113 --> 01:16:24,840
Been a year-and-a-half,
you gonna catch this ****ing guy or not?

1230
01:16:26,152 --> 01:16:28,588
-Go **** yourself.
-Happily.

1231
01:16:28,655 --> 01:16:30,657
You should have called me, Paul.

1232
01:16:36,229 --> 01:16:37,464
Thank you.

1233
01:16:50,677 --> 01:16:52,445
-Did you see this?
-Unfortunately, yes.

1234
01:16:52,512 --> 01:16:55,248
Here comes every lunatic in California.

1235
01:16:56,820 --> 01:16:57,417
l'm the Zodiac.

1236
01:16:57,484 --> 01:16:59,850
And how did you kill your victims?

1237
01:16:59,152 --> 01:17:01,788
With a gun. No, with a hammer.

1238
01:17:01,855 --> 01:17:03,189
All l'm authorized to tell you

1239
01:17:03,289 --> 01:17:04,858
is that he's still under
government employment.

1240
01:17:04,958 --> 01:17:08,280
-And who authorized you to tell me this?
-That's all l'm authorized to say.

1241
01:17:08,128 --> 01:17:10,296
Only a little rat bastard like Andre

1242
01:17:10,363 --> 01:17:12,966
could have done something
like cut off all the victims' hands.

1243
01:17:13,330 --> 01:17:15,435
Zodiac didn't cut off
any of the victims' hands.

1244
01:17:15,502 --> 01:17:17,270
-Are you sure?
-Yes, sir.

1245
01:17:17,337 --> 01:17:19,873
Travis and l worked here
side by side for 10 years.

1246
01:17:19,973 --> 01:17:24,440
His foot gets crushed in an accident
and the killings begin.

1247
01:17:24,144 --> 01:17:25,645
-Coincidence?
-l don't know.

1248
01:17:25,712 --> 01:17:27,647
You're a cop, man. Do the math.

1249
01:17:32,180 --> 01:17:35,288
Have you considered
the killer might be Paul Avery?

1250
01:17:35,355 --> 01:17:36,556
Frequently.

1251
01:17:37,123 --> 01:17:38,525
He was drinking Coors,
getting a load on.

1252
01:17:39,590 --> 01:17:42,696
Starts talking about hunting people.
Like that book.

1253
01:17:42,796 --> 01:17:44,998
Says how you can put a light
at the end of a gun

1254
01:17:45,650 --> 01:17:46,633
to use as a sight in the dark.

1255
01:17:46,700 --> 01:17:48,501
-He said that?
-Yeah.

1256
01:17:49,469 --> 01:17:51,638
So l asked him,
"Howwould you get away with it?"

1257
01:17:51,705 --> 01:17:53,473
And he said, "lt would be easy

1258
01:17:53,540 --> 01:17:56,900
"'cause there'd be no real motive
to the thing."

1259
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:57,977
Then he said he'd write letters
to the police

1260
01:17:58,440 --> 01:17:59,846
and call himself Zodiac
to mess with them.

1261
01:17:59,913 --> 01:18:01,548
Leigh liked messing with people.

1262
01:18:01,648 --> 01:18:04,684
-You're positive he said "Zodiac"?
-Yeah.

1263
01:18:04,751 --> 01:18:07,854
l thought it was a stupid name.
So l told him.

1264
01:18:07,921 --> 01:18:11,391
He got up all upset and said,
"l don't care what you think.

1265
01:18:11,491 --> 01:18:14,160
"l've thought about it a long time
and that's the name l'm gonna use."

1266
01:18:14,227 --> 01:18:17,564
Did you feel like he'd been
thinking about it a long time?

1267
01:18:17,664 --> 01:18:20,900
He was raw about losing his job
at the school.

1268
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,370
He talked about shooting out
the tires of a school bus

1269
01:18:24,104 --> 01:18:26,539
and picking off the little darlings.

1270
01:18:26,606 --> 01:18:30,710
-He actually used those words?
-That's what made me remember.

1271
01:18:30,777 --> 01:18:33,213
Afterwards, l told my wife
l didn't wanna see him again.

1272
01:18:33,279 --> 01:18:35,480
And l haven't since.

1273
01:18:35,115 --> 01:18:37,684
Other thing is, Leigh's into skin diving.

1274
01:18:37,751 --> 01:18:39,853
l know he's been up to that lake
a bunch of times.

1275
01:18:39,919 --> 01:18:42,288
Lake Berryessa?
Did you ever go with him?

1276
01:18:42,389 --> 01:18:46,393
Couple times. We went fishing
by Putah Creek near there.

1277
01:18:46,459 --> 01:18:47,927
Tell him when you put it together.

1278
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:52,732
About a year ago, in the paper,
there was a story about the Zodiac.

1279
01:18:52,799 --> 01:18:55,935
And it all comes back.
l tried to call the local cops.

1280
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:57,637
They blew him off.
Thought he was a nut.

1281
01:18:57,737 --> 01:19:01,574
And you're sure
the conversation you had about Zodiac

1282
01:19:01,641 --> 01:19:05,412
took place on January 1st, 1968?

1283
01:19:05,478 --> 01:19:07,247
lt couldn't have been any later.

1284
01:19:07,313 --> 01:19:10,283
l started a newjob in L.A.
on January 20th.

1285
01:19:10,784 --> 01:19:12,252
l had to move.

1286
01:19:12,318 --> 01:19:14,821
-This is my problem. This guy...
-Arthur Leigh Allen?

1287
01:19:14,921 --> 01:19:17,557
This guy, Leigh,
just lays out his entire evil plan

1288
01:19:17,624 --> 01:19:19,125
to a fishing buddy on New Year's Day?

1289
01:19:19,225 --> 01:19:22,620
l don't know.
He's angry, he's been drinking,

1290
01:19:22,128 --> 01:19:24,264
been thinking about it for a while.
l can buy that.

1291
01:19:24,330 --> 01:19:26,733
So why didn't Cheney
contact us sooner?

1292
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,268
l checked. He did.

1293
01:19:28,334 --> 01:19:31,337
First recorded contact
with the police department aboutAllen

1294
01:19:31,438 --> 01:19:34,274
was in Pomona. January 10th, 1970.

1295
01:19:34,341 --> 01:19:35,442
He just got lost in the shuffle.

1296
01:19:35,508 --> 01:19:37,243
Did Cheney have anything
againstAllen?

1297
01:19:37,310 --> 01:19:38,611
Did Allen screw his wife or anything?

1298
01:19:38,678 --> 01:19:40,447
We're gonna do
a full background check.

1299
01:19:40,513 --> 01:19:43,183
But l got to tell you, l like this guy.

1300
01:19:44,184 --> 01:19:46,152
So, let's pull
some handwriting samples.

1301
01:19:47,854 --> 01:19:50,790
Hi. l talked to Sherwood.
He got the samples.

1302
01:19:50,857 --> 01:19:52,826
-What are you having?
-BLT.

1303
01:19:55,428 --> 01:19:57,964
So, the check stubs are a wash.
There's not enough handwriting.

1304
01:19:58,310 --> 01:20:00,633
The application's got more,
but it doesn't look like Z's,

1305
01:20:00,700 --> 01:20:03,200
so he can't rule him in.
But he can't rule him out, either.

1306
01:20:03,103 --> 01:20:06,600
-Well, that's vague.
-He needs more samples.

1307
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,175
Also, our guy is a pervert.

1308
01:20:10,210 --> 01:20:12,112
When Mel got the application
from Valley Springs,

1309
01:20:12,178 --> 01:20:14,481
they told him that
Allen had been fired for touching kids.

1310
01:20:14,547 --> 01:20:16,716
-Touching?
-Polite euphemism.

1311
01:20:18,351 --> 01:20:21,488
-So what do you want to do?
-Make some phone calls.

1312
01:20:21,554 --> 01:20:24,224
-Are you done with the fries?
-Go ahead.

1313
01:20:24,324 --> 01:20:25,792
Did you and Mr. Cheney have a chance

1314
01:20:25,859 --> 01:20:28,610
to look at the copies
ofthe Zodiac letters we sent you?

1315
01:20:28,161 --> 01:20:30,864
Yeah.
Some of this stuff is pretty creepy.

1316
01:20:30,964 --> 01:20:34,670
-Yeah, we know that.
-l mean, creepy like Leigh.

1317
01:20:34,401 --> 01:20:36,970
He misspells words like that.
He thinks it's funny.

1318
01:20:37,370 --> 01:20:38,838
What about the handwriting?

1319
01:20:38,905 --> 01:20:41,875
I don't know.
Don't you have experts forthat stuff?

1320
01:20:41,975 --> 01:20:45,780
Our man at Questioned Documents
says it's inconclusive.

1321
01:20:45,178 --> 01:20:47,130
Maybe he did it with his other hand.

1322
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:48,381
The letters are a little too neat

1323
01:20:48,481 --> 01:20:50,884
for someone to have written
with the wrong hand.

1324
01:20:50,984 --> 01:20:52,719
But not for Leigh, right.

1325
01:20:52,819 --> 01:20:54,721
-What do you mean?
-He's ambidextrous.

1326
01:20:54,821 --> 01:20:58,224
He can write with either hand.
Didn't you guys know that?

1327
01:20:58,324 --> 01:21:01,161
ln everyday life, Allen uses his left hand.

1328
01:21:01,227 --> 01:21:03,697
Job applications,
letters to friends, et cetera.

1329
01:21:03,763 --> 01:21:06,399
But he writes the Zodiac letters
with his right hand

1330
01:21:06,499 --> 01:21:10,270
producing a different handwriting
that he can't be linked to.

1331
01:21:10,737 --> 01:21:12,720
We got to see this guy, Chief.

1332
01:21:12,172 --> 01:21:13,373
-Where is he?
-Vallejo.

1333
01:21:13,440 --> 01:21:16,543
He works at Union Oil in Pinole.
His brother's up there, too.

1334
01:21:16,609 --> 01:21:18,780
See them both.

1335
01:21:18,178 --> 01:21:20,680
Make sure you call Mulanax.
lt is his backyard.

1336
01:21:20,747 --> 01:21:23,917
Oh, right, because that
worked so well for us in Riverside.

1337
01:21:24,170 --> 01:21:26,619
Cooperation, that's us, at all costs.

1338
01:21:36,196 --> 01:21:40,266
You can talk to him in here.
Coke machine's busted, by the way.

1339
01:21:41,401 --> 01:21:43,370
l'll go get him for you.

1340
01:21:44,804 --> 01:21:46,973
So how do you guys wanna do this?

1341
01:21:47,730 --> 01:21:50,744
Well, Bill talked to the informants.
He leads, we follow?

1342
01:21:50,810 --> 01:21:52,445
lt's okay by me.

1343
01:22:06,326 --> 01:22:08,928
Mr. Allen, l'm lnspector Bill Armstrong.

1344
01:22:08,995 --> 01:22:11,931
This is lnspector Dave Toschi
and Sergeant Jack Mulanax.

1345
01:22:11,998 --> 01:22:16,403
We're investigating the Zodiac murders
in San Francisco and Vallejo.

1346
01:22:16,469 --> 01:22:18,104
Please, sit down.

1347
01:22:26,946 --> 01:22:29,449
The informant notified us
that you made certain statements

1348
01:22:29,516 --> 01:22:32,118
1 1 months prior
to the first Zodiac murder.

1349
01:22:32,185 --> 01:22:35,255
lf they're true,
they're quite incriminating.

1350
01:22:35,321 --> 01:22:37,590
Do you recall
having any such conversation?

1351
01:22:37,657 --> 01:22:38,792
-No.
-Have you ever read

1352
01:22:38,858 --> 01:22:40,827
or heard anything about the Zodiac?

1353
01:22:40,927 --> 01:22:42,162
When it was first in the paper.

1354
01:22:42,262 --> 01:22:44,330
But l didn't follow it
after those first reports.

1355
01:22:44,431 --> 01:22:46,966
-Why not?
-Too morbid. l...

1356
01:22:47,934 --> 01:22:50,770
l told all this to the other officer.

1357
01:22:50,837 --> 01:22:53,340
-Which other officer?
-From Vallejo.

1358
01:22:54,708 --> 01:22:56,176
Do you remember his name?

1359
01:22:56,276 --> 01:22:59,979
No, but it was right after
the murder at the lake.

1360
01:23:00,460 --> 01:23:02,549
And what did you tell this officer?

1361
01:23:04,150 --> 01:23:08,355
l told him that l'd gone to Salt Point
that weekend to skin dive.

1362
01:23:08,455 --> 01:23:11,291
That l was alone
but l met a couple there.

1363
01:23:12,459 --> 01:23:14,627
l have their names at home
ifyou want them.

1364
01:23:14,694 --> 01:23:16,329
That would be great, Arthur.

1365
01:23:16,396 --> 01:23:18,331
-Leigh.
-What?

1366
01:23:19,199 --> 01:23:21,735
Leigh. Nobody calls me Arthur.

1367
01:23:23,470 --> 01:23:26,873
Also, that day when l came home,
my neighbor saw me.

1368
01:23:26,973 --> 01:23:30,744
lt was around 4:00.
But l forgot to tell the other officer that.

1369
01:23:30,844 --> 01:23:33,460
-Neighbor's name?
-Bill White.

1370
01:23:34,848 --> 01:23:36,649
He died a week or so afterwards.

1371
01:23:36,716 --> 01:23:40,153
Heart attack.
So l didn't think to call to follow up.

1372
01:23:42,255 --> 01:23:44,391
The knives l had in my car
with the blood on them,

1373
01:23:44,491 --> 01:23:48,610
that blood came from a chicken
that l killed for dinner.

1374
01:23:50,830 --> 01:23:53,666
-What?
-l had knives in my car that weekend.

1375
01:23:53,733 --> 01:23:58,380
Maybe Bill saw them
and called the other officer on me.

1376
01:23:58,605 --> 01:24:01,708
Well, we'll be checking in on that.

1377
01:24:01,775 --> 01:24:03,243
Well, let me ask you something else.

1378
01:24:03,343 --> 01:24:07,280
Were you ever in Southern California
at any time in 1966?

1379
01:24:08,281 --> 01:24:10,850
-ls this about the Riverside killing?
-Yes.

1380
01:24:11,951 --> 01:24:14,220
Well, l guess l was there
around that time.

1381
01:24:14,287 --> 01:24:17,624
l used to go down there a lot.
l like the auto races.

1382
01:24:21,961 --> 01:24:24,397
lnformant says that
you're ambidextrous?

1383
01:24:24,464 --> 01:24:26,433
No, that's untrue.

1384
01:24:26,533 --> 01:24:28,868
You can't write with both hands?

1385
01:24:29,969 --> 01:24:33,730
My teachers tried to make me
when l was a kid, but l couldn't.

1386
01:24:33,139 --> 01:24:35,275
l'm left-handed.

1387
01:24:35,375 --> 01:24:39,579
He also said that you made statements
about killing school children.

1388
01:24:40,246 --> 01:24:41,748
That is...

1389
01:24:41,815 --> 01:24:45,118
That is horrible. That is...
That's a horrible thing to say.

1390
01:24:45,218 --> 01:24:48,421
So, you weren't angry
about being fired from Valley Springs

1391
01:24:48,488 --> 01:24:50,757
for touching your students?

1392
01:24:59,999 --> 01:25:01,735
l'm not the Zodiac.

1393
01:25:02,669 --> 01:25:05,672
And if l was, l certainly wouldn't tell you.

1394
01:25:07,907 --> 01:25:09,743
That's a nice watch.

1395
01:25:11,511 --> 01:25:12,612
Thank you.

1396
01:25:12,679 --> 01:25:17,517
May l see it?

1397
01:25:29,329 --> 01:25:30,430
Where'd you get it?

1398
01:25:30,597 --> 01:25:33,333
lt was a Christmas gift
from my mother two years ago.

1399
01:25:33,433 --> 01:25:35,602
That's very sweet.

1400
01:25:35,668 --> 01:25:38,304
So, tell me something, Arthur.

1401
01:25:38,371 --> 01:25:39,439
You don't remember anyone

1402
01:25:39,506 --> 01:25:43,376
you might have had a conversation with
regarding the Zodiac?

1403
01:25:44,511 --> 01:25:49,949
Maybe Ted Kidder or Phil Tucker
at Vallejo Recreation.

1404
01:25:51,217 --> 01:25:53,530
But l couldn't be positive.

1405
01:25:53,153 --> 01:25:55,321
l used to work there when...

1406
01:25:58,958 --> 01:26:01,610
The Most Dangerous Game.

1407
01:26:02,328 --> 01:26:03,463
What?

1408
01:26:03,530 --> 01:26:06,700
The Most Dangerous Game.
That's why you're here, isn't it?

1409
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,535
lt was my favorite book in high school.

1410
01:26:08,635 --> 01:26:12,138
lt's about this man who waits for people
to get shipwrecked on this island.

1411
01:26:12,205 --> 01:26:13,640
Because he was
tired of hunting animals,

1412
01:26:13,707 --> 01:26:15,342
he hunted the people for the challenge.

1413
01:26:15,408 --> 01:26:19,546
And man is the most
dangerous animal of all?

1414
01:26:19,646 --> 01:26:22,182
That's the whole point of the story.

1415
01:26:22,849 --> 01:26:24,217
Great book.

1416
01:26:25,418 --> 01:26:28,880
Or, at least, that's what l told Phil.

1417
01:26:33,660 --> 01:26:34,928
May l go?

1418
01:26:38,531 --> 01:26:39,599
Sure.

1419
01:26:44,437 --> 01:26:48,742
-Thanks for your time.
-l'm willing to help in any way possible.

1420
01:26:48,842 --> 01:26:50,910
l look forward to the day

1421
01:26:51,110 --> 01:26:54,514
when police officers
are no longer referred to as pigs.

1422
01:26:55,448 --> 01:26:56,683
Thanks.

1423
01:26:57,784 --> 01:26:59,452
We'll be in touch.

1424
01:27:11,197 --> 01:27:15,301
So does anyone think this suspect
warrants further investigation?

1425
01:27:15,402 --> 01:27:18,371
These are copies of some
of the Zodiac letters that were sent.

1426
01:27:18,905 --> 01:27:22,242
We'd like you to take a look at them.

1427
01:27:22,308 --> 01:27:24,210
You think my brother's the Zodiac.

1428
01:27:24,277 --> 01:27:26,246
Well, we're looking at him.

1429
01:27:26,312 --> 01:27:27,747
Are you going to arrest him?

1430
01:27:27,814 --> 01:27:31,751
Mrs. Allen, we don't arrest people
just because we're interested in them.

1431
01:27:31,818 --> 01:27:33,286
Well, Leigh's always been troubled.

1432
01:27:33,386 --> 01:27:35,622
ls it true about the children?

1433
01:27:36,156 --> 01:27:37,590
Unfortunately.

1434
01:27:37,657 --> 01:27:40,293
We don't see him much anymore
since we found out.

1435
01:27:40,393 --> 01:27:42,429
What are your feelings
about Don Cheney?

1436
01:27:42,495 --> 01:27:44,831
Don Cheney? My old roommate?

1437
01:27:44,931 --> 01:27:47,934
-Was he the one who contacted you?
-That's confidential.

1438
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:49,569
Well, Don's a very reliable guy.

1439
01:27:49,636 --> 01:27:52,739
lf he were to tell you something,
l'd believe it to be true.

1440
01:27:52,806 --> 01:27:53,973
-This one.
-What about it?

1441
01:27:54,740 --> 01:27:56,242
Here, where he spells
"Christmas" with two "S's."

1442
01:27:56,309 --> 01:27:58,278
We got a Christmas card from Leigh
a couple years ago.

1443
01:27:58,345 --> 01:28:01,414
He spelled it the exact same way.
Christ-mass.

1444
01:28:01,481 --> 01:28:04,250
-Would you still have that?
-l can look for it.

1445
01:28:04,317 --> 01:28:06,453
Thank you. That'd be great.

1446
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,622
ls there anything else
we can do to help?

1447
01:28:09,689 --> 01:28:11,324
The brother said
he would search Leigh's apartment

1448
01:28:11,424 --> 01:28:12,659
next time he went out of town.

1449
01:28:12,759 --> 01:28:14,994
-That gets you around a warrant.
-For the time being.

1450
01:28:15,950 --> 01:28:18,331
lfwe do find something,
Mulanax will go to the DA in Vallejo,

1451
01:28:18,431 --> 01:28:20,166
and we could search the place properly.

1452
01:28:20,266 --> 01:28:21,768
Now l got a chance to talk to the cop

1453
01:28:21,835 --> 01:28:24,704
who interviewed Leigh Allen
two days after the Berryessa murders.

1454
01:28:24,804 --> 01:28:26,506
Doesn't remember how he got onto him,

1455
01:28:26,606 --> 01:28:29,642
but didn't think he looked like a killer
so he didn't like him for Z.

1456
01:28:29,709 --> 01:28:32,545
-But you do?
-l wish l could've taken the guy in there.

1457
01:28:32,645 --> 01:28:35,615
Take it slow, Dave.
Try and find more stuff for Sherwood.

1458
01:28:35,682 --> 01:28:37,717
A match'll get us farther
on the warrants.

1459
01:28:37,817 --> 01:28:40,954
-Avery's on two.
-Tell him to screw.

1460
01:28:41,210 --> 01:28:45,358
You want me to communicate that
verbatim or can l spice it up a little?

1461
01:28:55,135 --> 01:28:56,569
Christ, kid.

1462
01:28:58,238 --> 01:28:59,172
Yeah.

1463
01:28:59,239 --> 01:29:01,574
-Paul, l've been thinking...
-Oh, God save us all.

1464
01:29:01,675 --> 01:29:03,430
The letter to Melvin Belli

1465
01:29:03,143 --> 01:29:06,790
was sent exactly one year
after the Lake Herman Road murder.

1466
01:29:06,179 --> 01:29:07,914
And the one to Cheri Jo Bates' father

1467
01:29:08,140 --> 01:29:10,383
was sent exactly six months
after her death.

1468
01:29:10,483 --> 01:29:12,819
-She was killed a day before Halloween.
-Yeah.

1469
01:29:12,886 --> 01:29:14,387
And you received a Halloween card...

1470
01:29:14,487 --> 01:29:17,900
You know, these are all fascinating
pieces of news, Robert,

1471
01:29:17,190 --> 01:29:19,159
it's a bit early in the day.

1472
01:29:19,225 --> 01:29:22,950
Paul, it's 1 1 :00 and we missed Editorial.

1473
01:29:26,666 --> 01:29:28,702
-l'm sorry. l didn't mean to wake you up.
-No, no, no.

1474
01:29:28,768 --> 01:29:30,360
-l just thought that...
-No, no, no.

1475
01:29:35,608 --> 01:29:38,110
This suspect is not your Zodiac.

1476
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:42,615
This sample matches the canceled
checks and the application?

1477
01:29:42,716 --> 01:29:43,717
Perfectly.

1478
01:29:43,783 --> 01:29:47,530
So we've just retested the left hand.
l mean, we know he's ambidextrous.

1479
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,390
ln 38 years, l've never seen anyone
that ambidextrous.

1480
01:29:50,457 --> 01:29:52,959
Both hands would have commonalities.

1481
01:29:53,293 --> 01:29:54,627
l'm sorry.

1482
01:29:55,950 --> 01:29:56,863
Just not gonna work.

1483
01:29:58,765 --> 01:30:01,201
-Homicide, Toschi.
-Dave, it's Jack Mulanax.

1484
01:30:01,267 --> 01:30:03,403
Hey. Mulanax. Yeah.

1485
01:30:03,470 --> 01:30:04,904
We struck out with thejudge.

1486
01:30:04,971 --> 01:30:06,639
He won't sign off on a warrant
for Allen's house.

1487
01:30:06,740 --> 01:30:08,775
-Why not?
-Said it wasn't enough.

1488
01:30:08,875 --> 01:30:11,244
Now, unless we bring him a handwriting
match or some evidence that...

1489
01:30:11,311 --> 01:30:13,713
How are we gonna get evidence
ifwe can't toss the house?

1490
01:30:13,780 --> 01:30:15,248
I don't know.

1491
01:30:15,782 --> 01:30:18,718
-l truly am sorry.
-No, no. Thank you, Jack.

1492
01:30:20,587 --> 01:30:21,654
What do you wanna do?

1493
01:30:21,755 --> 01:30:23,890
Don't knowwhat l can do
without Vallejo.

1494
01:30:23,156 --> 01:30:26,590
We need Allen's right hand.
We can't get it without a warrant.

1495
01:30:26,126 --> 01:30:28,261
Are there other guys
you should be looking at?

1496
01:30:28,328 --> 01:30:30,263
Only, what?

1497
01:30:30,330 --> 01:30:32,265
Twenty-three hundred?

1498
01:30:32,332 --> 01:30:38,238
Okay, then.

1499
01:31:06,132 --> 01:31:08,802
Paul, you wrote the Justice Department

1500
01:31:08,868 --> 01:31:12,272
asking to be put in charge
of the Zodiac investigation?

1501
01:31:14,274 --> 01:31:16,176
l merely suggested...

1502
01:31:16,276 --> 01:31:17,477
On our letterhead?

1503
01:31:17,544 --> 01:31:19,646
...that those with intimate knowledge
of the case

1504
01:31:19,713 --> 01:31:21,648
create an information clearinghouse

1505
01:31:21,715 --> 01:31:23,883
to promote an exchange
and free flow of ideas.

1506
01:31:23,983 --> 01:31:27,530
-And that you run it.
-Well, who better than me?

1507
01:31:28,121 --> 01:31:29,689
The marked man.

1508
01:31:30,390 --> 01:31:32,325
Paul, ifyou want to work here,
l need three things.

1509
01:31:32,392 --> 01:31:33,893
One, stop boozing.

1510
01:31:33,993 --> 01:31:37,163
Two, stop doing
whatever else it is you're doing.

1511
01:31:37,230 --> 01:31:40,800
And three, cut this nonsense out.

1512
01:31:40,867 --> 01:31:43,970
Sweetest of Templetons, if at any time

1513
01:31:44,370 --> 01:31:49,242
you feel my excellent work is no longer
in step with this trashy provincial rag,

1514
01:31:49,342 --> 01:31:51,110
l'll more than happily...

1515
01:31:51,770 --> 01:31:54,581
More than happily
decamp for greener pastures.

1516
01:31:54,681 --> 01:31:56,316
Paul, l mean it!

1517
01:32:06,493 --> 01:32:08,361
-Paul?
-Yep.

1518
01:32:08,428 --> 01:32:11,698
-What was that?
-An editorial tête-à-tête.

1519
01:32:12,832 --> 01:32:14,934
-Wanna grab a drink?
-lt's 10:00 in the morning.

1520
01:32:15,350 --> 01:32:16,870
Late breakfast?

1521
01:32:17,871 --> 01:32:20,600
-Early lunch, or...
-Paul.

1522
01:32:22,442 --> 01:32:23,943
Are you okay?

1523
01:32:24,778 --> 01:32:25,845
No.

1524
01:32:29,249 --> 01:32:31,840
Thank you for asking.

1525
01:32:33,286 --> 01:32:35,422
Shorty! Let's go out for one.

1526
01:32:35,522 --> 01:32:37,557
Paul, where are you going?

1527
01:32:39,592 --> 01:32:41,194
So, you moved off my brother-in-law?

1528
01:32:42,128 --> 01:32:44,130
We couldn't get a warrant.

1529
01:32:45,765 --> 01:32:49,235
Last yearwe arranged for Leigh
to get help from a social worker.

1530
01:32:49,302 --> 01:32:50,937
He only went twice.

1531
01:32:51,370 --> 01:32:54,400
We saw him recently for
the first time in nine months.

1532
01:32:54,107 --> 01:32:57,243
My mother-in-law brought him by
to see the new baby.

1533
01:32:57,310 --> 01:33:00,647
After he left,
l went to see that social worker.

1534
01:33:00,747 --> 01:33:04,840
He couldn't talk about a former patient,
so l just asked him straight out

1535
01:33:04,150 --> 01:33:06,386
if he thought Leigh
was capable of killing people.

1536
01:33:06,453 --> 01:33:09,723
-Because of patient confidentiality...
-The man said yes.

1537
01:33:11,491 --> 01:33:13,727
Why hadn't you seen him
in nine months?

1538
01:33:13,793 --> 01:33:15,729
He's going to school in Santa Rosa.

1539
01:33:15,795 --> 01:33:19,132
-Santa Rosa? Where is he living?
-ln his trailer.

1540
01:33:19,232 --> 01:33:21,267
-ln Santa Rosa?
-Sonoma County.

1541
01:33:21,334 --> 01:33:23,603
We wouldn't have to go
through the Vallejo DA.

1542
01:33:23,670 --> 01:33:25,171
lt's been 1 1 months
since you talked to this guy,

1543
01:33:25,271 --> 01:33:26,806
and now you wanna search his trailer?

1544
01:33:26,906 --> 01:33:28,675
lfwe find something, great.

1545
01:33:28,775 --> 01:33:31,945
lf not, we get his prints and
handwriting samples from both hands.

1546
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:34,447
l thought Sherwood shut you down.

1547
01:33:35,148 --> 01:33:37,650
What if l can get a second opinion?

1548
01:33:38,785 --> 01:33:40,787
l don't wanna step on Sherwood's toes.
He trained me at this.

1549
01:33:40,854 --> 01:33:43,656
Terry, all l need to know
is if the suspect is ambidextrous.

1550
01:33:43,757 --> 01:33:47,761
Could he possibly have written
those letters with his other hand?

1551
01:33:49,429 --> 01:33:50,797
Between you and me?

1552
01:33:50,864 --> 01:33:54,367
Because there are differing
schools of thought on this.

1553
01:33:55,535 --> 01:33:59,973
Get the samples of his other hand.
lf he's the Zodiac, you'll get a match.

1554
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:02,642
That's the current thinking,
according to Terry Pascoe.

1555
01:34:02,709 --> 01:34:06,120
Meanwhile, l spoke to a psychologist
who'd be willing to testify

1556
01:34:06,112 --> 01:34:09,115
that someone who undergoes
a personality change like Zodiac

1557
01:34:09,182 --> 01:34:12,152
would manifest it physically,
altering his handwriting.

1558
01:34:12,218 --> 01:34:15,822
Which is why Sherwood couldn't
get a match from Allen's samples.

1559
01:34:15,889 --> 01:34:18,158
We got Terry Pascoe,
this psychology guy,

1560
01:34:18,224 --> 01:34:19,626
coupled with Cheney...

1561
01:34:19,693 --> 01:34:21,161
lt could be enough for a warrant.

1562
01:34:21,227 --> 01:34:22,395
Get Cheney on the record.

1563
01:34:22,662 --> 01:34:25,732
"And that he would call himself Zodiac."

1564
01:34:26,833 --> 01:34:27,867
Yes.

1565
01:34:27,967 --> 01:34:31,538
And you're willing to swear
to this, under oath, in Superior Court?

1566
01:34:31,638 --> 01:34:33,390
Without any hesitation.

1567
01:34:33,139 --> 01:34:35,342
Thank you very much, Mr. Cheney.
Thank you very much for your time.

1568
01:34:35,408 --> 01:34:36,409
Thank you.

1569
01:34:36,509 --> 01:34:38,345
Suspect is Arthur Leigh Allen.

1570
01:34:38,411 --> 01:34:42,182
Lives in Sunset Trailer Court
in Santa Rosa, California.

1571
01:34:42,248 --> 01:34:43,850
Physical description.

1572
01:34:43,917 --> 01:34:46,186
Allen is similar in height,
weight and build

1573
01:34:46,252 --> 01:34:49,356
to a man seen at Lake Berryessa
on the day of the stabbings.

1574
01:34:49,422 --> 01:34:52,258
I understand he doesn't look
much like the San Francisco composite.

1575
01:34:52,359 --> 01:34:53,893
True. Height and weight are sketchy,

1576
01:34:53,993 --> 01:34:56,196
but lumbering Caucasian
with a crew cut is right on.

1577
01:34:56,262 --> 01:34:58,598
We never had much confidence
in the composite from the kids.

1578
01:34:58,698 --> 01:35:00,700
The patrolman
who saw Zodiac that night

1579
01:35:00,767 --> 01:35:02,268
said he didn't look much like the sketch.

1580
01:35:02,369 --> 01:35:03,870
Military boot prints.

1581
01:35:03,937 --> 01:35:06,706
Allen was in the Navy.
Wears a size 10-and-a-half.

1582
01:35:06,773 --> 01:35:09,209
Same size as the prints
found at Berryessa.

1583
01:35:09,275 --> 01:35:11,440
What about gun?

1584
01:35:11,111 --> 01:35:15,715
Cheney says Allen owns several
firearms. We'll list them in the warrant.

1585
01:35:15,782 --> 01:35:18,551
-And the ciphers.
-Could be code training in the Navy,

1586
01:35:18,618 --> 01:35:21,388
and people have seen Allen
with ciphers in the past.

1587
01:35:21,454 --> 01:35:22,522
Really? Who?

1588
01:35:22,589 --> 01:35:25,392
That would be his sister-in-law
and a man named Phil Tucker

1589
01:35:25,458 --> 01:35:27,794
that he worked with
at a public pool in Vallejo.

1590
01:35:27,894 --> 01:35:31,398
And Phil Tucker told us about
a conversation that he had with Allen

1591
01:35:31,464 --> 01:35:34,200
about how to attach a flashlight
to the barrel of a gun.

1592
01:35:34,267 --> 01:35:37,537
That gives us two sources
on the ciphers and two on the flashlight.

1593
01:35:37,604 --> 01:35:39,606
What about his threats on children?

1594
01:35:39,706 --> 01:35:41,474
Suspect worked for elementary schools

1595
01:35:41,574 --> 01:35:44,778
and was fired for molestation
in March, April '68.

1596
01:35:44,878 --> 01:35:47,547
-Could give him motive.
-At the very least, it's home turf.

1597
01:35:47,614 --> 01:35:49,716
He'd have knowledge of bus routes,

1598
01:35:49,783 --> 01:35:52,252
which the two major threats
centered around.

1599
01:35:52,318 --> 01:35:54,540
What about the bomb?

1600
01:35:55,455 --> 01:35:57,424
Allen works as a chemist.

1601
01:35:57,490 --> 01:35:58,958
Take him through the geography.

1602
01:35:59,590 --> 01:36:00,560
Vallejo murders.

1603
01:36:00,627 --> 01:36:04,130
Allen lives in Vallejo
with his mother in her basement.

1604
01:36:04,230 --> 01:36:07,434
Berryessa murder. On the day
that the two kids were stabbed

1605
01:36:07,500 --> 01:36:10,170
his neighbor saw bloody knives
in his truck

1606
01:36:10,270 --> 01:36:13,173
which he claimed were used
to kill a chicken.

1607
01:36:13,273 --> 01:36:15,108
Does he have any alibis?

1608
01:36:15,175 --> 01:36:17,911
He claimed he did, but he's been unable
to produce the names

1609
01:36:17,977 --> 01:36:21,281
of the couple he supposedly met
on the day of Berryessa.

1610
01:36:21,348 --> 01:36:23,750
The bottom line is thatAllen
can't alibi up on anything.

1611
01:36:23,817 --> 01:36:25,618
Riverside, Vallejo, the lake or us.

1612
01:36:25,685 --> 01:36:27,954
-You want to tell me about the name?
-What name?

1613
01:36:28,210 --> 01:36:29,122
Zodiac.

1614
01:36:29,189 --> 01:36:33,126
Allen wears a watch that bears
both the word and crosshair symbol.

1615
01:36:33,193 --> 01:36:34,627
And he mentioned Zodiac to Cheney

1616
01:36:34,694 --> 01:36:37,263
a year and a half
before it appeared in any letter.

1617
01:36:40,433 --> 01:36:42,869
-John...
-That's pretty good, guys.

1618
01:36:42,969 --> 01:36:45,972
-We think so, too.
-Let's take it to ajudge.

1619
01:37:06,159 --> 01:37:07,460
Mr. Allen?

1620
01:37:07,527 --> 01:37:09,529
This is the
Santa Rosa Police Department.

1621
01:37:09,629 --> 01:37:12,465
We have a warrant
to search your residence.

1622
01:37:23,476 --> 01:37:24,644
Hello?

1623
01:37:33,353 --> 01:37:35,588
l'll check with the neighbors.

1624
01:37:36,890 --> 01:37:37,924
Close the door.

1625
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,940
Close the door,
there's rodents running around.

1626
01:37:49,436 --> 01:37:51,938
Neighbor said he tore out of here
about a half-hour ago.

1627
01:37:52,380 --> 01:37:56,376
-You think somebody tipped him?
-We're not leaving till he comes back.

1628
01:38:02,215 --> 01:38:03,950
l'll check the back.

1629
01:38:16,696 --> 01:38:17,731
Jesus.

1630
01:38:17,797 --> 01:38:19,432
-What?
-Squirrels.

1631
01:38:21,568 --> 01:38:23,536
Piece ofwork, this guy.

1632
01:38:30,443 --> 01:38:33,113
Not one, but two blue windbreakers.

1633
01:38:33,213 --> 01:38:36,916
-Like the Stine scene?
-We'll have those checked for blood.

1634
01:38:37,384 --> 01:38:40,320
And a pair of black gloves.

1635
01:38:41,654 --> 01:38:44,924
Men's seven,
just like the ones we found in the cab.

1636
01:38:44,991 --> 01:38:47,594
Well, he's got the same size shoes
and gloves as Z.

1637
01:38:47,660 --> 01:38:50,960
Probablyjust a coincidence.

1638
01:38:50,163 --> 01:38:54,670
Dave, l got a gun.
Check that. Two guns.

1639
01:38:55,235 --> 01:38:58,471
They're both .22s.
One automatic, one revolver.

1640
01:38:58,571 --> 01:39:00,106
Well, that's interesting.

1641
01:39:00,173 --> 01:39:03,309
Because he happens to have
an M-1 rifle here in the closet.

1642
01:39:03,410 --> 01:39:06,120
For little darlings bouncing off buses.

1643
01:39:07,514 --> 01:39:09,150
Someone's here.

1644
01:39:15,989 --> 01:39:18,425
Hello, Arthur. Remember us?

1645
01:39:40,980 --> 01:39:42,480
No.

1646
01:39:42,148 --> 01:39:43,216
On the handwriting?

1647
01:39:43,316 --> 01:39:46,820
Ballistics, no match.
Prints, no match. Writing, no match.

1648
01:39:46,886 --> 01:39:48,655
On both hands, right?

1649
01:39:48,722 --> 01:39:50,557
Because we got handwriting
from both his hands.

1650
01:39:50,657 --> 01:39:51,991
And neither hand matches.

1651
01:39:52,580 --> 01:39:53,727
Forget Sherwood.
Let's get another opinion.

1652
01:39:53,827 --> 01:39:55,862
Fellas, he's not your guy.

1653
01:40:02,535 --> 01:40:03,737
Damn it.

1654
01:40:10,910 --> 01:40:12,120
Hey.

1655
01:40:12,846 --> 01:40:15,415
What do you want? Time off?

1656
01:40:17,584 --> 01:40:18,752
A hug?

1657
01:40:19,652 --> 01:40:21,588
Do you knowwhat
the worst part of this is?

1658
01:40:21,688 --> 01:40:23,590
l can't tell if l wanted it
to be Allen so bad

1659
01:40:23,690 --> 01:40:26,993
because l actually thought it was him,
or l just want all this to be over.

1660
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:28,995
lt's because you thought it was him.

1661
01:40:29,620 --> 01:40:30,597
And l did, too.

1662
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:34,834
You knowwhat? Take some time off.

1663
01:40:34,901 --> 01:40:38,204
Spend some time with yourwife
and the kids.

1664
01:40:38,271 --> 01:40:40,840
Go to Candlestick. See a movie.

1665
01:40:42,108 --> 01:40:47,447
"To the city of San Francisco,
I will enjoy killing one person every day

1666
01:40:47,547 --> 01:40:49,949
"until you pay me $100,000.

1667
01:40:50,950 --> 01:40:53,687
"If you agree, say so tomorrow morning

1668
01:40:54,454 --> 01:40:57,424
"in the personal column
San Francisco Chronicle,

1669
01:40:57,524 --> 01:40:59,526
"and I will set up meeting.

1670
01:40:59,592 --> 01:41:01,227
"If I do not hearfrom you,

1671
01:41:01,294 --> 01:41:04,297
"it will be my next pleasure
to kill a Catholic priest or a...

1672
01:41:07,701 --> 01:41:09,135
"...Scorpio."

1673
01:41:11,538 --> 01:41:13,390
Who's out oftheir minds?

1674
01:41:13,106 --> 01:41:15,208
l've got to get out of here.

1675
01:41:15,275 --> 01:41:18,578
Where the hell does he expect me
to find $100,000?

1676
01:41:18,645 --> 01:41:21,470
You're not thinking of paying him,
are you, Mr. Mayor?

1677
01:41:21,114 --> 01:41:25,452
The city of San Francisco does not
pay criminals not to commit a crime.

1678
01:41:48,408 --> 01:41:50,910
The killer gets shot in the chest.

1679
01:41:50,977 --> 01:41:53,279
That's how it ends.

1680
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,315
Do l know you?

1681
01:41:55,415 --> 01:41:58,184
l'm Robert Graysmith.
l work at the Chronicle with Paul Avery.

1682
01:41:58,284 --> 01:41:59,853
Dave Toschi. Nice to meet you.

1683
01:41:59,953 --> 01:42:02,455
Dave! That Harry Callahan
did a hell of a job with your case.

1684
01:42:02,522 --> 01:42:05,191
Yeah. No need for due process, right?

1685
01:42:09,496 --> 01:42:11,498
-What do you do at the Chronicle?
-l'm a cartoonist.

1686
01:42:11,598 --> 01:42:12,932
That's nice.

1687
01:42:12,999 --> 01:42:14,934
You're gonna catch him.

1688
01:42:16,536 --> 01:42:19,372
Pal, they're already
making movies about it.

1689
01:42:27,147 --> 01:42:30,116
We today have concluded
an agreement

1690
01:42:30,183 --> 01:42:33,820
to end the war and bring peace
with honor in Vietnam.

1691
01:42:33,887 --> 01:42:36,990
...Charles Manson for
the Tate-La Bianca mass murders...

1692
01:42:37,570 --> 01:42:39,325
Guilty in the Chowchilla
kidnapping case.

1693
01:42:39,392 --> 01:42:41,695
In the murdertrial of one...

1694
01:42:41,795 --> 01:42:43,630
Chairman Mao died today...

1695
01:42:43,697 --> 01:42:46,660
...an absolute pardon
unto Richard Nixon...

1696
01:42:46,166 --> 01:42:49,169
-No, I'm not a crook...
-...Generation of hostility...

1697
01:42:51,337 --> 01:42:54,341
...has now led to the death
of 50,000 Americans

1698
01:42:54,407 --> 01:42:57,344
and several
hundred thousand Vietnamese...

1699
01:42:57,410 --> 01:43:00,180
Patricia Hearst is kidnapped
by the Symbionese Liberation Army...

1700
01:43:00,246 --> 01:43:03,583
All of us should stand up together
and say, "No more."

1701
01:43:05,185 --> 01:43:07,854
Your Declaration of Independence
spreads that...

1702
01:43:07,921 --> 01:43:10,523
Americans admire
the United Kingdom...

1703
01:43:10,590 --> 01:43:12,692
Mr. Hoffa has disappeared.

1704
01:43:12,759 --> 01:43:16,262
Ifwe despise our own government...

1705
01:43:17,230 --> 01:43:19,532
...that the police have captured a man

1706
01:43:19,599 --> 01:43:21,267
whom they believe
to be the "Son of Sam..."

1707
01:43:36,750 --> 01:43:38,885
Hi. We haven't met.

1708
01:43:38,952 --> 01:43:40,954
l'm Robert Graysmith.

1709
01:43:41,540 --> 01:43:42,922
l'm Duffy Jennings.

1710
01:43:43,230 --> 01:43:46,126
-Nice to meet you.
-Good to meet you, man.

1711
01:43:46,226 --> 01:43:47,360
You got a great desk.

1712
01:43:47,427 --> 01:43:49,462
Guy who used to work here
was a great reporter.

1713
01:43:49,562 --> 01:43:50,864
Oh, yeah. Oh, l'm sure he was.

1714
01:43:50,930 --> 01:43:53,400
l mean, it's a honor
to leave the Chronicle

1715
01:43:53,466 --> 01:43:56,302
and go work for the Sacramento Bee.

1716
01:43:56,403 --> 01:43:58,605
Dare to dream, right, Robert?

1717
01:44:02,242 --> 01:44:05,111
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, too.

1718
01:44:05,211 --> 01:44:07,313
l'm just right down there
at the Art department

1719
01:44:07,414 --> 01:44:09,916
-ifyou need anything, Duffy.
-Yeah.

1720
01:44:13,420 --> 01:44:16,890
-You sure you don't want the car, Bill?
-lt's your turn.

1721
01:44:16,156 --> 01:44:19,392
You could just drop me off at my place
and take the car.

1722
01:44:19,459 --> 01:44:21,428
You should keep the car.

1723
01:44:22,162 --> 01:44:23,263
Yeah?

1724
01:44:23,797 --> 01:44:25,899
l'm not coming in tomorrow.

1725
01:44:27,834 --> 01:44:29,335
Why? What's up?

1726
01:44:30,570 --> 01:44:31,838
l'm done.

1727
01:44:33,340 --> 01:44:35,308
l put in for a transfer.

1728
01:44:41,314 --> 01:44:42,582
Where?

1729
01:44:42,982 --> 01:44:44,617
Looking at Fraud.

1730
01:44:46,820 --> 01:44:48,922
l can't be on call anymore.

1731
01:44:51,691 --> 01:44:53,993
l wanna see these kids grow up.

1732
01:44:55,128 --> 01:44:57,364
Hey, good for you, Bill.

1733
01:44:59,265 --> 01:45:01,801
-You'll be okay.
-Yeah. l'll be fine.

1734
01:45:03,837 --> 01:45:04,871
Hey,

1735
01:45:05,972 --> 01:45:09,376
l'm not leaving you
holding the bag on anything, am l?

1736
01:45:11,440 --> 01:45:12,145
No.

1737
01:45:14,481 --> 01:45:15,548
Okay.

1738
01:45:16,216 --> 01:45:17,951
Hey, you knowwhat?

1739
01:45:18,551 --> 01:45:22,789
Maybe you'll have a chance
to try your Japanese food, the raw stuff.

1740
01:45:23,723 --> 01:45:24,858
Yeah.

1741
01:45:56,823 --> 01:45:58,558
l'm not Paul Avery.

1742
01:46:01,428 --> 01:46:04,364
The boys need to be tucked in, please,
and the baby needs changing.

1743
01:46:04,431 --> 01:46:06,766
-l'll flip you for it.
-You wish.

1744
01:46:10,236 --> 01:46:12,939
Nobody has more Zodiac crap
than you do.

1745
01:46:57,617 --> 01:46:59,819
-Are you kidding me?
-Hi, Paul.

1746
01:47:01,588 --> 01:47:04,257
Permission to come aboard.
lt's right there.

1747
01:47:04,324 --> 01:47:06,826
Anyway, you got shoes on.
This is perfect right here.

1748
01:47:06,926 --> 01:47:08,828
-That's the one.
-Okay.

1749
01:47:10,563 --> 01:47:13,400
-See that? Mesmerizing.
-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1750
01:47:13,466 --> 01:47:16,136
My own kids
would kill me for one of those.

1751
01:47:17,971 --> 01:47:20,206
-How are you?
-Fantastic.

1752
01:47:20,306 --> 01:47:22,442
l mean, admittedly,

1753
01:47:22,509 --> 01:47:24,911
the Bee ain't exactly
the Chron, but **** it, right?

1754
01:47:24,978 --> 01:47:27,914
Do you want a drink?
l don't have anything blue, but l got...

1755
01:47:27,981 --> 01:47:29,949
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about it.

1756
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:33,653
lt's no bother at all.
Nobody comes by from the old days.

1757
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:35,880
Cheers.

1758
01:47:35,822 --> 01:47:37,991
To your health and mine.

1759
01:47:39,859 --> 01:47:41,294
Mostly mine.

1760
01:47:46,466 --> 01:47:48,100
So,

1761
01:47:50,170 --> 01:47:51,538
what's new?

1762
01:47:53,540 --> 01:47:55,475
-l've been thinking.
-Yeah.

1763
01:47:55,542 --> 01:47:56,676
Somebody should write a book.

1764
01:47:56,776 --> 01:47:59,713
Somebody should write a ****ing book,
that's for sure.

1765
01:47:59,813 --> 01:48:01,981
-About what?
-About Zodiac.

1766
01:48:03,550 --> 01:48:04,984
lt's not new.

1767
01:48:05,510 --> 01:48:09,723
l've been thinking that
ifyou put all the information together,

1768
01:48:09,823 --> 01:48:11,391
maybe you could jog something loose.

1769
01:48:11,491 --> 01:48:13,993
And then l was thinking that
nobody knows the case better than you.

1770
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:15,161
Yeah. That's true.

1771
01:48:15,228 --> 01:48:18,231
You know all the players,
and you have all the files.

1772
01:48:18,331 --> 01:48:19,666
Lost them.

1773
01:48:19,966 --> 01:48:21,340
You lost them?

1774
01:48:21,134 --> 01:48:24,404
Or l tossed them. l don't know.
l moved onto a boat.

1775
01:48:24,838 --> 01:48:26,906
You know that we work
in the daily business, right?

1776
01:48:27,700 --> 01:48:28,274
As in, today.

1777
01:48:28,375 --> 01:48:31,177
What do you think
we were doing back then?

1778
01:48:32,145 --> 01:48:34,280
Do you know that more people die
in the East Bay commute

1779
01:48:34,381 --> 01:48:36,683
every three months
than that idiot ever killed?

1780
01:48:36,750 --> 01:48:37,984
He offed a few citizens,

1781
01:48:38,510 --> 01:48:41,421
he wrote a few letters,
and he faded into a footnote.

1782
01:48:46,893 --> 01:48:49,896
Not that l haven't been sitting here idly

1783
01:48:49,996 --> 01:48:54,000
waiting for you to drop by
and reinvigorate my sense of purpose.

1784
01:48:56,269 --> 01:48:59,439
lt was four years ago. Let it ****ing go.

1785
01:48:59,539 --> 01:49:02,275
You're wrong. lt was important.

1786
01:49:03,510 --> 01:49:06,460
Then, what did you ever do about it?

1787
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:09,490
lf it was so ****ing important,
what did you ever do?

1788
01:49:09,115 --> 01:49:11,951
You hovered over my desk,
you stole from wastebaskets.

1789
01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:13,720
Am l being unkind?

1790
01:49:14,854 --> 01:49:18,124
Oh, that's right, l forgot.
You went to the library.

1791
01:49:20,927 --> 01:49:22,929
l'm sorry l bothered you.

1792
01:49:44,984 --> 01:49:47,870
-Hey, hi.
-Hi.

1793
01:49:47,153 --> 01:49:49,622
-Where you been?
-The library.

1794
01:50:21,187 --> 01:50:22,522
Thank you!

1795
01:50:38,271 --> 01:50:41,675
-lnspector Toschi?
-Yeah? One moment, please.

1796
01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:47,213
-Hi.
-Hi.

1797
01:50:48,515 --> 01:50:50,550
We met at the movies once.

1798
01:50:51,170 --> 01:50:52,385
lt must have been magical.

1799
01:50:52,485 --> 01:50:54,220
l'm Robert Graysmith.
l work at the Chronicle.

1800
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,123
l was wondering if l could buy you lunch.

1801
01:50:58,825 --> 01:51:00,493
Sure, why not?

1802
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:02,996
So, you're a friend of Paul Avery's?

1803
01:51:03,630 --> 01:51:05,498
He's actually the reason l'm here.

1804
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,569
l wanted to ask you about Zodiac.

1805
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:13,306
Well, l appreciate the interest,
but we don't discuss open cases.

1806
01:51:13,373 --> 01:51:15,909
Oh, well, what's going on with it,
day to day?

1807
01:51:16,900 --> 01:51:17,677
We're actively pursuing all leads.

1808
01:51:17,744 --> 01:51:20,380
And you're the only one on it, right?

1809
01:51:21,514 --> 01:51:23,160
Mr. Graysmith,

1810
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:26,860
Zodiac hasn't written in three years.

1811
01:51:26,186 --> 01:51:28,922
You know how many murders
we've had in San Francisco since then?

1812
01:51:29,220 --> 01:51:30,523
-No.
-Over 200.

1813
01:51:30,590 --> 01:51:33,927
That's a lot of dead people
and grieving families that need our help.

1814
01:51:34,270 --> 01:51:35,628
So, nobody cares.

1815
01:51:35,762 --> 01:51:38,231
Excuse me? l care.

1816
01:51:40,900 --> 01:51:43,203
Okay. Can l show you something?

1817
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,242
l've been doing research
on the first cipher.

1818
01:51:49,342 --> 01:51:51,111
Everything an amateur
would need to create it

1819
01:51:51,211 --> 01:51:54,214
can be found in these books.

1820
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:57,617
Now, l started thinking
that ifyou can track these books,

1821
01:51:57,717 --> 01:52:00,120
then maybe you can track the man.

1822
01:52:00,620 --> 01:52:03,490
So, l remember you thought
that Zodiac was military,

1823
01:52:03,590 --> 01:52:07,260
so l went to every base library
and l got a list of every person

1824
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:11,297
who's ever checked out these books
and that's when l found this.

1825
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:18,571
-Missing.
-lt means they were stolen.

1826
01:52:19,305 --> 01:52:22,909
So, almost every book on ciphers
was stolen from the Presidio Library?

1827
01:52:22,976 --> 01:52:25,645
And the Oakland Army Terminal Library.

1828
01:52:28,415 --> 01:52:32,852
Somebody didn't want a record
of ever having checked out these books.

1829
01:52:32,952 --> 01:52:34,621
Who are you again?

1830
01:52:36,656 --> 01:52:38,324
l just wanna help.

1831
01:52:41,494 --> 01:52:43,797
l can't allow you to help.

1832
01:52:43,897 --> 01:52:45,665
l can't discuss the case with you.

1833
01:52:45,765 --> 01:52:48,234
l can't give you information,
and l certainly couldn't tell you

1834
01:52:48,301 --> 01:52:50,503
to go see Ken Narlow in Napa.

1835
01:52:51,710 --> 01:52:52,472
N-A-R-L-O-W.

1836
01:53:02,449 --> 01:53:07,120
l'm sorry, Mr. Graysmith,
but we don't cooperate with writers.

1837
01:53:07,187 --> 01:53:10,230
Well, l'm not a writer, l'm a cartoonist.

1838
01:53:10,924 --> 01:53:13,126
-And Dave Toschi sent you?
-Yes.

1839
01:53:13,193 --> 01:53:15,195
-Why?
-Maybe he...

1840
01:53:15,295 --> 01:53:18,131
Maybe he thought
that l could do some good.

1841
01:53:18,832 --> 01:53:23,360
-What are you, some kind of boy scout?
-Eagle Scout, actually, first class.

1842
01:53:23,970 --> 01:53:27,173
Well, ifyou wanna do this,
don't let me stop you.

1843
01:53:28,441 --> 01:53:30,543
Better start with Vallejo, Jack Mulanax.

1844
01:53:31,478 --> 01:53:33,880
l understand what you're trying to do.

1845
01:53:33,980 --> 01:53:36,182
But this is an open police investigation.

1846
01:53:36,282 --> 01:53:38,385
l'm a friend of Dave Toschi's.

1847
01:53:38,485 --> 01:53:41,755
And he said
that you might be able to help.

1848
01:53:41,855 --> 01:53:44,758
l mean, the case is dead.
Zodiac's long gone.

1849
01:53:45,692 --> 01:53:47,894
He's yesterday's news, right?

1850
01:53:48,895 --> 01:53:50,730
That's what they say.

1851
01:53:51,631 --> 01:53:53,500
So, what's the harm?

1852
01:53:53,566 --> 01:53:55,350
No pens, no paper.

1853
01:53:55,568 --> 01:53:58,238
Anything that you see that's relevant,
you got to remember in your head.

1854
01:53:58,338 --> 01:53:59,406
Okay.

1855
01:54:01,641 --> 01:54:02,942
Okay, here we go.

1856
01:54:03,430 --> 01:54:05,145
-Which one?
-All of them.

1857
01:54:05,211 --> 01:54:07,914
And there's more in the next room.
They're all marked with these numbers.

1858
01:54:08,140 --> 01:54:09,215
243-146.

1859
01:54:09,315 --> 01:54:11,184
You don't smoke, do you?

1860
01:54:11,251 --> 01:54:13,386
Once. ln high school.

1861
01:54:16,756 --> 01:54:18,158
What's this?

1862
01:54:19,590 --> 01:54:20,393
Thank you.

1863
01:54:48,621 --> 01:54:50,623
Man, you really creeped us out.

1864
01:54:56,629 --> 01:54:58,131
"Nine millimeter.

1865
01:55:00,660 --> 01:55:02,635
"Said nothing and began firing."

1866
01:55:11,411 --> 01:55:12,746
"Most Dangerous Game.

1867
01:55:12,812 --> 01:55:15,582
"Do not eliminate this suspect
because of handwriting.

1868
01:55:15,648 --> 01:55:17,817
"Not because of handwriting.

1869
01:55:18,318 --> 01:55:20,320
"Darlene's sister, Linda.

1870
01:55:20,420 --> 01:55:23,123
"lt was all just deep breathing. George.

1871
01:55:23,723 --> 01:55:26,493
"lt was a strange man. George.
Strange man."

1872
01:55:27,460 --> 01:55:29,129
Thank you so much.

1873
01:55:30,997 --> 01:55:32,999
Oh, briefcase. Oh, thanks.

1874
01:55:35,668 --> 01:55:38,271
-Hey, Jack.
-Hey, Bawart.

1875
01:55:38,338 --> 01:55:40,173
-Who's that?
-That's Graysmith.

1876
01:55:40,273 --> 01:55:43,576
Some cartoonist.
Thinks he's gonna solve the Zodiac.

1877
01:55:45,245 --> 01:55:46,579
Well, good for him.

1878
01:56:17,100 --> 01:56:19,312
-Thank you for meeting me, lnspector.
-No. We're not meeting, Robert.

1879
01:56:19,379 --> 01:56:20,914
We're just two guys
who happen to be sitting

1880
01:56:21,140 --> 01:56:22,182
on the same bench at the same time.

1881
01:56:22,282 --> 01:56:24,684
l've got five minutes.
l've got to get back to the Hall.

1882
01:56:24,784 --> 01:56:27,520
Okay. As far as you know,
did anyone ever get in touch

1883
01:56:27,620 --> 01:56:29,322
with Mike Mageau
during your investigation

1884
01:56:29,389 --> 01:56:31,891
-and show him suspect photos?
-Why?

1885
01:56:31,991 --> 01:56:34,461
Well, he's the only surviving victim
who ever saw Zodiac without a mask.

1886
01:56:34,527 --> 01:56:35,862
No, l mean, why are you asking me?

1887
01:56:35,962 --> 01:56:37,831
Mageau and Darlene,
that's Vallejo's case.

1888
01:56:37,897 --> 01:56:40,700
Paul Stine is mine.
You've got four minutes now.

1889
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,103
Darlene Ferrin was being followed.

1890
01:56:43,203 --> 01:56:45,400
Now, l know Mulanax says
that they already found this guy,

1891
01:56:45,710 --> 01:56:46,720
a George Waters?

1892
01:56:46,172 --> 01:56:48,800
But he also said
that she had a lot of admirers

1893
01:56:48,740 --> 01:56:49,709
who would come to
the restaurant where she worked.

1894
01:56:49,809 --> 01:56:51,411
-She was popular.
-Very.

1895
01:56:51,511 --> 01:56:53,179
Yeah. So...

1896
01:56:53,246 --> 01:56:55,181
She and her husband,
they move into their new house,

1897
01:56:55,248 --> 01:56:56,916
and one night they throw
this painting party.

1898
01:56:57,170 --> 01:56:58,118
And what's a painting party?

1899
01:56:58,218 --> 01:57:00,186
lt's a party where people come
and help you paint.

1900
01:57:00,253 --> 01:57:01,388
Sounds like a terrible party.

1901
01:57:01,488 --> 01:57:05,258
Well, supposedly,
somebody who's not Waters shows up.

1902
01:57:05,358 --> 01:57:07,227
And Darlene is terrified of him.

1903
01:57:07,327 --> 01:57:09,620
So you think that Darlene knew Zodiac?

1904
01:57:09,162 --> 01:57:13,666
And if Zodiac knew Darlene,
then maybe Mageau knows Zodiac.

1905
01:57:13,733 --> 01:57:15,568
Maybe. But Mageau's gone.

1906
01:57:15,668 --> 01:57:17,270
So ifyou wanna connect
Darlene to Zodiac,

1907
01:57:17,370 --> 01:57:18,772
you're gonna have to find anotherway.

1908
01:57:18,872 --> 01:57:20,206
l have anotherway.

1909
01:57:20,273 --> 01:57:21,908
Phone calls the night
of Darlene's murder.

1910
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:25,111
-Yeah, Zodiac called the police.
-No, Dave, there were four other calls.

1911
01:57:25,211 --> 01:57:27,547
There were two to Darlene's house,
one to Darlene's brother-in-law,

1912
01:57:27,614 --> 01:57:29,916
and one to Darlene's father-in-law.
Just heavy breathing.

1913
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:31,885
They started around 1 :30 a.m.,

1914
01:57:31,951 --> 01:57:35,622
and this was before anyone in the family
knew that Darlene had been shot.

1915
01:57:35,722 --> 01:57:37,824
-This was in the Vallejo files?
-Yeah.

1916
01:57:37,924 --> 01:57:38,958
God damn it.

1917
01:57:39,590 --> 01:57:40,794
lt's got to be more
than just a coincidence, right?

1918
01:57:40,894 --> 01:57:43,763
l mean, somebody doesn'tjust randomly
prank phone call a victim's entire family

1919
01:57:43,863 --> 01:57:45,899
90 minutes after they were shot.

1920
01:57:45,965 --> 01:57:48,680
So, either Zodiac shoots
a random couple,

1921
01:57:48,134 --> 01:57:49,703
then he recognizes Darlene...

1922
01:57:49,769 --> 01:57:51,771
Or Darlene was shot on purpose.

1923
01:57:51,871 --> 01:57:55,108
Eitherway,
Zodiac had to have known Darlene.

1924
01:57:56,976 --> 01:57:58,745
That's good, Robert.

1925
01:57:59,212 --> 01:58:02,415
So, l can't find Mageau,
so maybe l can find Darlene's sister.

1926
01:58:02,482 --> 01:58:04,417
And maybe she can tell me
who this mystery man is.

1927
01:58:04,484 --> 01:58:07,320
Try that. l've got to go. She's very cute.

1928
01:58:11,224 --> 01:58:12,759
You know,

1929
01:58:12,826 --> 01:58:16,196
it's interesting that you should mention
Zodiac calling people at home.

1930
01:58:16,296 --> 01:58:17,764
He did that in San Francisco once.

1931
01:58:17,831 --> 01:58:19,332
What? Who did he call?

1932
01:58:19,432 --> 01:58:22,502
l can't tell you.
That's privileged information.

1933
01:58:23,136 --> 01:58:25,338
But maybe Melvin Belli could.

1934
01:58:27,974 --> 01:58:29,509
Melvin Belli.

1935
01:58:30,443 --> 01:58:32,746
How do l get to Melvin Belli?

1936
01:58:32,812 --> 01:58:35,815
-He should be along soon.
-Oh, that's all right.

1937
01:58:35,915 --> 01:58:38,284
l've really...
l've only been waiting two hours, so...

1938
01:58:38,351 --> 01:58:40,220
He's usually not this late.

1939
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:43,123
Oh, cookies. Thank you.
These look great.

1940
01:58:43,923 --> 01:58:47,827
-You are here on business?
-l'm writing a book about the Zodiac.

1941
01:58:47,927 --> 01:58:50,864
l remember that. l spoke to him.

1942
01:58:50,964 --> 01:58:55,568
-You mean to Mr. Belli about the case?
-No, to the Zodiac when he called.

1943
01:58:55,668 --> 01:58:58,972
He said he had to kill
because it was his birthday.

1944
01:58:59,390 --> 01:59:02,308
He said it... Wait.
He said it was his birthday?

1945
01:59:02,375 --> 01:59:04,978
Yes. You want something to drink?

1946
01:59:05,979 --> 01:59:10,160
-When was this?
-Oh, so many years ago.

1947
01:59:11,685 --> 01:59:14,254
Mr. Belli was away for Christmas.

1948
01:59:14,354 --> 01:59:15,588
Gone for a week.

1949
01:59:15,689 --> 01:59:18,240
The Zodiac called,
wanting to talk to him.

1950
01:59:18,124 --> 01:59:19,826
l said, "He is not here."

1951
01:59:19,893 --> 01:59:22,829
He said, "l have to kill.
Today is my birthday."

1952
01:59:22,896 --> 01:59:24,864
And then he hangs up.

1953
01:59:24,964 --> 01:59:26,499
Then the letter arrived.

1954
01:59:26,566 --> 01:59:30,603
So, the call came
before the letter of December 20th.

1955
01:59:30,704 --> 01:59:32,672
Mr. Belli was gone for a week?

1956
01:59:32,739 --> 01:59:36,509
He came back on Christmas.
Not a good day to work.

1957
01:59:36,576 --> 01:59:38,545
So, he left on the 18th.

1958
01:59:39,713 --> 01:59:41,181
ls that helpful?

1959
01:59:41,247 --> 01:59:42,716
She said it was his birthday.

1960
01:59:42,816 --> 01:59:46,619
Well, you'd have to confirm that,
now wouldn't you?

1961
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:48,121
How?

1962
01:59:48,221 --> 01:59:51,358
Well, I never spoke to her,
but maybe my partner did.

1963
01:59:51,424 --> 01:59:54,260
-How do l get a hold of him?
-You don't. Bill wanted out ofthis.

1964
01:59:54,361 --> 01:59:56,629
As far as I'm concerned,
he should stay out.

1965
01:59:56,730 --> 01:59:58,310
How do l confirm it?

1966
01:59:58,980 --> 02:00:00,633
Well, if my partner
did talk to someone from Justice,

1967
02:00:00,734 --> 02:00:02,302
then they would've had
to put that in a report.

1968
02:00:02,402 --> 02:00:04,704
That's standard procedure.

1969
02:00:04,771 --> 02:00:06,873
-Okay.
-Mel Nicolai.

1970
02:00:06,940 --> 02:00:08,908
-Thank you.
-Goodbye.

1971
02:00:09,900 --> 02:00:11,211
l just need to confirm a date.

1972
02:00:11,277 --> 02:00:12,612
-Mr. Graysmith...
-l've narrowed it down

1973
02:00:12,712 --> 02:00:14,981
between the 18th and the 20th
of December, and l just need...

1974
02:00:15,810 --> 02:00:18,385
Okay, l'll play.
Let's say this phone call did take place.

1975
02:00:18,451 --> 02:00:19,919
Let's say it really was Zodiac.

1976
02:00:20,200 --> 02:00:22,789
Why would he volunteer
the day he was born?

1977
02:00:22,889 --> 02:00:25,580
Plus, nobody died on December 18th,

1978
02:00:25,125 --> 02:00:27,927
just like nobody died over the weekend
when he was gonna kill a dozen people,

1979
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:30,397
orwhen he was gonna
shoot school kids or blow up buses.

1980
02:00:30,463 --> 02:00:31,831
He's a liar, Mr. Graysmith.

1981
02:00:31,931 --> 02:00:33,600
What if he made a mistake?

1982
02:00:33,700 --> 02:00:35,735
What if he wasn't lying?
What if it was him on the phone?

1983
02:00:35,802 --> 02:00:38,238
He didn't expect to pick it up,
a nice person to pick up.

1984
02:00:38,304 --> 02:00:39,639
What if? What if? What if?

1985
02:00:39,739 --> 02:00:43,760
Look, off the record,
Bill Armstrong checked this out.

1986
02:00:43,143 --> 02:00:45,779
We took this very seriously.

1987
02:00:45,879 --> 02:00:49,115
None of the suspects had the
same birthday as this phantom caller.

1988
02:00:49,215 --> 02:00:51,418
Bill Armstrong.

1989
02:00:56,956 --> 02:00:58,925
Can l give you a piece of advice?

1990
02:00:58,992 --> 02:01:00,593
You're looking in the wrong place.

1991
02:01:00,660 --> 02:01:03,763
Handwriting, fingerprints,
that's what this whole thing's about.

1992
02:01:03,830 --> 02:01:05,165
Stick to the evidence.

1993
02:01:06,232 --> 02:01:07,300
Hi.

1994
02:01:15,575 --> 02:01:18,712
-Hey. Howwas your day?
-Long.

1995
02:01:24,150 --> 02:01:25,552
Who's Sherwood Morrill?

1996
02:01:25,652 --> 02:01:28,455
He's a handwriting expert
in Sacramento.

1997
02:01:28,521 --> 02:01:29,622
He called.

1998
02:01:29,689 --> 02:01:31,825
He said he can meet you
tomorrow morning at 7:00.

1999
02:01:31,925 --> 02:01:33,193
Oh, great.

2000
02:01:33,293 --> 02:01:36,162
-So you're taking offwork?
-Just an hour.

2001
02:01:37,931 --> 02:01:40,330
Sacramento's two hours away.

2002
02:01:41,167 --> 02:01:42,802
-Really?
-Yes.

2003
02:01:43,536 --> 02:01:45,710
What's this?

2004
02:01:45,171 --> 02:01:47,807
Oh, that's that article.

2005
02:01:47,874 --> 02:01:51,478
"Robert Graysmith has quietly been
shopping his book about the Zodiac."

2006
02:01:51,544 --> 02:01:52,679
Yeah.

2007
02:01:52,779 --> 02:01:55,415
lt talks all about you
researching Zodiac.

2008
02:01:55,515 --> 02:01:56,916
Well, that's what the article's about.

2009
02:01:57,170 --> 02:01:59,486
l'm not so sure that's something
we want people to know about.

2010
02:01:59,552 --> 02:02:00,653
Why? Are you embarrassed?

2011
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:03,890
Robert, what's the one thing
we know about Zodiac?

2012
02:02:04,557 --> 02:02:05,759
He reads the Chronicle.

2013
02:02:05,859 --> 02:02:08,395
Yeah, but he's never
gonna read Herb Caen.

2014
02:02:13,330 --> 02:02:15,335
-Hello.
-Mr. Graysmith?

2015
02:02:15,402 --> 02:02:18,400
The Robert Graysmith
mentioned in the papertoday?

2016
02:02:18,710 --> 02:02:21,241
-Yeah?
-I can tell you who the Zodiac is.

2017
02:02:25,110 --> 02:02:26,460
Who is this?

2018
02:02:26,146 --> 02:02:28,281
The Zodiac Killer
is obsessed with movies.

2019
02:02:28,381 --> 02:02:31,840
He recorded his murders on film.

2020
02:02:31,184 --> 02:02:34,554
I tried to tell the police,
but they wouldn't follow through on it.

2021
02:02:34,654 --> 02:02:37,590
There's a man you need to find.
His name is Bob Vaughn.

2022
02:02:37,691 --> 02:02:40,226
-Pen, pen.
-V-A-U-G-H-N.

2023
02:02:40,326 --> 02:02:42,462
He's a friend ofthe Zodiac's.

2024
02:02:42,562 --> 02:02:44,698
Mr. Vaughn does not know
his friend is a killer,

2025
02:02:44,764 --> 02:02:47,400
and he is storing
some film canisters for him.

2026
02:02:47,500 --> 02:02:49,202
In these canisters is the evidence.

2027
02:02:49,269 --> 02:02:52,706
Okay, yeah, friend? Who is this friend?

2028
02:02:52,772 --> 02:02:54,407
You have quite enough to get started.

2029
02:02:54,507 --> 02:02:56,242
Oh, please.

2030
02:02:56,343 --> 02:02:59,646
The Zodiac's name is Rick Marshall.

2031
02:03:03,516 --> 02:03:05,385
Your toast is burning.

2032
02:03:06,386 --> 02:03:11,424
We choose at some point in our lives
how to physically construct each letter.

2033
02:03:12,158 --> 02:03:14,394
Once we lock that into our brains,

2034
02:03:14,461 --> 02:03:16,796
our handwriting may change
over the years,

2035
02:03:16,896 --> 02:03:19,566
but the moves themselves
remain unaltered.

2036
02:03:19,632 --> 02:03:21,167
-Understand?
-Yes.

2037
02:03:22,769 --> 02:03:24,738
Except Zodiac's doesn't.

2038
02:03:26,306 --> 02:03:28,274
Specifically with his "K."

2039
02:03:29,476 --> 02:03:32,412
ln his first letters,
he executed the "K" with two strokes.

2040
02:03:32,479 --> 02:03:33,947
Later letters, he did them with three.

2041
02:03:34,470 --> 02:03:36,316
-Why?
-We don't know.

2042
02:03:36,416 --> 02:03:38,351
Excuse me, l've got to spray this.

2043
02:03:38,451 --> 02:03:41,588
How many suspects
were cleared through handwriting?

2044
02:03:41,654 --> 02:03:43,123
All of them.

2045
02:03:43,189 --> 02:03:46,693
Also the print in the cab.
No match was ever found.

2046
02:03:46,793 --> 02:03:50,830
ls there any way that someone
could beat a handwriting test?

2047
02:03:50,930 --> 02:03:51,931
No.

2048
02:03:51,998 --> 02:03:55,201
Whoever the Zodiac is,
he's not someone l cleared.

2049
02:03:56,136 --> 02:03:59,606
About a month ago, a man showed up
on my doorstep very distraught.

2050
02:03:59,672 --> 02:04:01,808
His name was Wallace Penny.

2051
02:04:02,676 --> 02:04:04,978
He said he knewwho the Zodiac was.

2052
02:04:05,780 --> 02:04:07,113
Gave me a name.

2053
02:04:07,180 --> 02:04:09,449
Rick. Rick somebody.

2054
02:04:09,516 --> 02:04:11,951
-Rick Marshall?
-Yeah.

2055
02:04:12,180 --> 02:04:14,554
l think that the man
who you talked to called me, too.

2056
02:04:14,654 --> 02:04:17,290
After he left, then l checked my files.

2057
02:04:17,357 --> 02:04:19,590
l never cleared a Rick Marshall.

2058
02:04:26,332 --> 02:04:27,500
Hello?

2059
02:04:32,639 --> 02:04:34,374
Hello? Who is this?

2060
02:04:44,517 --> 02:04:46,419
lt's the wrong number.

2061
02:04:52,392 --> 02:04:55,562
Does the name Rick Marshall
mean anything to you?

2062
02:04:56,563 --> 02:04:58,598
What are you after?

2063
02:04:58,698 --> 02:04:59,766
What do you got?

2064
02:04:59,866 --> 02:05:04,104
Hypothetically, you just named
my favorite suspect in the whole case.

2065
02:05:05,238 --> 02:05:06,740
This is off the record.

2066
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:09,175
Couple years back,
l was trying to get Marshall's prints.

2067
02:05:09,242 --> 02:05:11,110
l handed him a photo.

2068
02:05:11,770 --> 02:05:13,513
He looks at it. He's about to give it back
and he stops and he says,

2069
02:05:13,580 --> 02:05:16,160
"My goodness,
l got fingerprints all over this."

2070
02:05:16,820 --> 02:05:17,951
And he wipes them off.

2071
02:05:18,685 --> 02:05:20,387
Why didn't you test him for handwriting?

2072
02:05:20,487 --> 02:05:23,123
Because when they finally
did run his prints,

2073
02:05:23,223 --> 02:05:25,525
they cleared him
against the one in Stine's cab.

2074
02:05:25,592 --> 02:05:27,694
-So, then, it's not him.
-Maybe yes, maybe no.

2075
02:05:27,761 --> 02:05:29,863
No. What do you mean?

2076
02:05:29,929 --> 02:05:32,298
Zodiac left gloves behind at the scene.

2077
02:05:32,399 --> 02:05:34,434
lf he had the foresight
to bring gloves with him,

2078
02:05:34,534 --> 02:05:36,536
how the hell's he gonna
accidentally leave a print behind?

2079
02:05:36,603 --> 02:05:38,638
But it was in the victim's blood.

2080
02:05:38,738 --> 02:05:40,730
Could have been one of the bystanders,

2081
02:05:40,173 --> 02:05:42,542
or a cop just reaches out,
boom, false print.

2082
02:05:42,609 --> 02:05:45,450
Yeah, but that print
disqualified 2,500 suspects.

2083
02:05:45,111 --> 02:05:46,413
Which is why we also used handwriting.

2084
02:05:46,479 --> 02:05:47,814
But not for Rick Marshall.

2085
02:05:47,914 --> 02:05:50,984
SFPD saw a handwritten sign
in the window of his house.

2086
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:54,921
Decided it looked nothing
like the Z letters, so theyjust moved on.

2087
02:05:55,210 --> 02:05:57,257
How do they know
that Rick Marshall wrote the sign?

2088
02:05:57,323 --> 02:05:58,625
My thoughts exactly.

2089
02:05:59,626 --> 02:06:03,296
Rick Marshall was a Navy man.
He received code training.

2090
02:06:03,396 --> 02:06:05,832
He was also a projectionist
at a silent film theater.

2091
02:06:05,932 --> 02:06:08,680
Well, then, how do l get copies
of Rick Marshall's handwriting?

2092
02:06:08,134 --> 02:06:12,500
Three ways.
One, get a warrant, which you can't.

2093
02:06:12,105 --> 02:06:14,240
Two, get him to volunteer,
which he won't.

2094
02:06:14,307 --> 02:06:16,242
Yeah, and three?

2095
02:06:16,309 --> 02:06:17,977
Get creative.

2096
02:06:18,780 --> 02:06:20,814
I don't know what to tell you.
You get it, I'll analyze it.

2097
02:06:20,914 --> 02:06:22,282
Beyond that, you're on your own.

2098
02:06:22,349 --> 02:06:24,818
Okay, what about
the guy who came to see you,

2099
02:06:24,918 --> 02:06:26,319
the one who called me?

2100
02:06:26,419 --> 02:06:28,922
You mean Wallace Penny?

2101
02:06:28,988 --> 02:06:31,124
Yeah. Did he leave a number?

2102
02:06:40,433 --> 02:06:43,703
-Hello?
-Hi, this is Robert Graysmith.

2103
02:06:43,803 --> 02:06:44,804
How did you find me?

2104
02:06:44,904 --> 02:06:46,940
l need a sample
of Rick Marshall's handwriting.

2105
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:48,341
I told you. Vaughn is who...

2106
02:06:48,441 --> 02:06:51,444
Mr. Penny,
if Rick Marshall is the Zodiac,

2107
02:06:51,511 --> 02:06:53,980
l need a sample of his handwriting
to confirm it.

2108
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:55,682
Can you help me or not?

2109
02:06:57,350 --> 02:07:02,550
Rick used to draw movie posters
forthe theater Vaughn worked at.

2110
02:07:02,155 --> 02:07:04,570
-I'll send one down.
-Thank you.

2111
02:07:14,340 --> 02:07:16,469
-l'll need to see more samples.
-Yeah, but is it...

2112
02:07:16,536 --> 02:07:19,720
lt's as close as l've ever seen.
We have to tread lightly here.

2113
02:07:19,172 --> 02:07:21,641
We're talking about
implicating this man as the Zodiac.

2114
02:07:21,708 --> 02:07:24,711
l can get more. l'll just find Vaughn
and l'll track down Linda.

2115
02:07:24,811 --> 02:07:26,813
l mean, Linda is Darlene's sister.

2116
02:07:26,880 --> 02:07:29,582
l've been to the DMV,
and l talked to her parents,

2117
02:07:29,683 --> 02:07:32,819
but still, nobody knows
where to find her.

2118
02:07:32,886 --> 02:07:37,357
Mr. Graysmith, most of the writing
matches the exemplar.

2119
02:07:37,424 --> 02:07:40,493
ln a way, though, it's the part that
doesn't match that scares me the most.

2120
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:42,996
-What do you mean?
-Well, on the poster,

2121
02:07:43,630 --> 02:07:46,199
the one letter that absolutely,
positively does not match

2122
02:07:46,299 --> 02:07:47,901
is the letter "K."

2123
02:07:49,869 --> 02:07:53,740
You wouldn't happen to have any
animal crackers in there, would you?

2124
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:57,410
Unit Five.
Toschi needs to call in on a landline.

2125
02:08:09,422 --> 02:08:11,791
-Dispatch.
-Hey. Dave Toschi.

2126
02:08:11,891 --> 02:08:13,526
I'll connect you.

2127
02:08:14,427 --> 02:08:15,862
-Dave?
-Yeah. What's up?

2128
02:08:15,929 --> 02:08:18,365
Jennings here from the Chronicle.

2129
02:08:18,431 --> 02:08:20,266
lt came in this morning
and you need to see it right now.

2130
02:08:20,367 --> 02:08:21,434
See what?

2131
02:08:21,534 --> 02:08:24,270
The new Zodiac letter.
And it mentions you.

2132
02:08:24,371 --> 02:08:25,438
Okay, okay.

2133
02:08:27,741 --> 02:08:30,430
Shit. All right, come on.

2134
02:08:30,110 --> 02:08:32,450
Hall of Justice!

2135
02:08:32,112 --> 02:08:35,248
Now! Come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on!

2136
02:08:41,554 --> 02:08:42,622
Dave!

2137
02:08:43,757 --> 02:08:45,725
Do you have it with you?

2138
02:08:48,962 --> 02:08:51,164
"This is the Zodiac speaking.
l'm back with you.

2139
02:08:51,264 --> 02:08:54,334
"Tell Herb Caen l am here,
l have always been here.

2140
02:08:54,434 --> 02:08:57,470
"That city pig Toschi is good,
but l am smarter and better.

2141
02:08:57,570 --> 02:09:00,440
"He will get tired, then leave me alone.

2142
02:09:00,507 --> 02:09:03,843
"l'm waiting for a good movie about me.
Who will play me?

2143
02:09:03,943 --> 02:09:06,790
"l'm now in control of all things."

2144
02:09:06,146 --> 02:09:08,815
These guys are from lnternal Affairs.

2145
02:09:10,650 --> 02:09:12,252
We need to talk.

2146
02:09:12,318 --> 02:09:14,120
Good evening. Ourtop story tonight,

2147
02:09:14,220 --> 02:09:16,756
the San Francisco Police Department
has confirmed

2148
02:09:16,823 --> 02:09:19,325
that the man
who calls himselfthe Zodiac

2149
02:09:19,426 --> 02:09:23,797
and terrorized the Bay Area
has broken his silence of 51 months.

2150
02:09:23,863 --> 02:09:26,533
In a letter claiming,
"I am back with you,"

2151
02:09:26,633 --> 02:09:30,270
the Zodiac makes no overt threats
against the citizenry,

2152
02:09:30,336 --> 02:09:33,206
and muses that his life and times
would make the best movie script yet.

2153
02:09:33,306 --> 02:09:34,808
These carrots are perfect.

2154
02:09:34,874 --> 02:09:36,276
The terse 66 word message
also manages...

2155
02:09:36,343 --> 02:09:37,444
Just go.

2156
02:09:37,510 --> 02:09:40,480
...to mention San Francisco Chronicle
columnist Herb Caen

2157
02:09:40,547 --> 02:09:43,516
and the Department's own
David Toschi by name.

2158
02:09:43,616 --> 02:09:45,218
-May l be excused?
-Are they targets?

2159
02:09:45,318 --> 02:09:46,319
Fine, but you have to come back

2160
02:09:46,419 --> 02:09:48,540
and finish at least half
ofwhat's on that plate.

2161
02:09:48,154 --> 02:09:49,289
More team coverage
on the cipher slayer's return...

2162
02:09:49,356 --> 02:09:50,357
-Okay?
-Okay.

2163
02:09:50,457 --> 02:09:52,959
...begins as Alan Freeman has more.

2164
02:09:53,260 --> 02:09:54,160
Thank you, Eric.

2165
02:09:54,260 --> 02:09:56,730
San Francisco Chronicle columnist
Armistead Maupin says

2166
02:09:56,830 --> 02:09:59,466
that he thinks not only
is this new letter a forgery,

2167
02:09:59,532 --> 02:10:01,468
but it was written by the very man

2168
02:10:01,534 --> 02:10:05,305
trusted to hunt down this killer,
David Toschi.

2169
02:10:05,372 --> 02:10:09,750
Maupin, a very well-respected author,
has gone on record saying

2170
02:10:09,175 --> 02:10:13,813
that he believes Toschi wrote the letter
to drum up publicity for himself.

2171
02:10:13,880 --> 02:10:16,983
Maupin used David
as a character in his column.

2172
02:10:17,500 --> 02:10:18,985
David got a kick out of it

2173
02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:21,540
and so he wrote
a couple of anonymous letters

2174
02:10:21,154 --> 02:10:23,560
asking for the character
to be brought back.

2175
02:10:23,156 --> 02:10:26,159
It was like
writing fan mail to himself. That's all.

2176
02:10:26,226 --> 02:10:28,495
But David did not write that letter.

2177
02:10:28,561 --> 02:10:31,698
No, l'm sure that he didn't.
And l'm sure that this will all blow over.

2178
02:10:31,765 --> 02:10:33,166
Blow over?

2179
02:10:33,233 --> 02:10:35,435
They kicked him out of Homicide.

2180
02:10:35,535 --> 02:10:38,838
They made him give his handwriting
like some common criminal.

2181
02:10:38,905 --> 02:10:41,241
-May l talk to him?
-No.

2182
02:10:42,308 --> 02:10:43,510
Okay, can you just ask him

2183
02:10:43,576 --> 02:10:45,945
if he ever investigated
a man named Rick Marshall?

2184
02:10:46,460 --> 02:10:47,847
ls that all you can think about?

2185
02:10:47,914 --> 02:10:51,351
Mr. Graysmith,
Maupin works at your paper. We trust...

2186
02:10:57,900 --> 02:10:58,525
This girl, she wants music lessons?

2187
02:10:58,591 --> 02:11:00,930
Dave! Dave!

2188
02:11:02,562 --> 02:11:04,764
l'll catch up to you.

2189
02:11:04,864 --> 02:11:07,670
You stop calling my house.
Do you understand me?

2190
02:11:07,167 --> 02:11:08,868
l just need your help to find Linda.

2191
02:11:08,935 --> 02:11:11,370
-Jesus.
-Look, two seconds.

2192
02:11:12,939 --> 02:11:15,375
Look, we've been
running handwriting samples.

2193
02:11:15,442 --> 02:11:17,711
-Who's we?
-Sherwood and l.

2194
02:11:17,777 --> 02:11:18,912
Sherwood?

2195
02:11:18,978 --> 02:11:21,114
Sherwood who was fired
from Questioned Documents?

2196
02:11:21,214 --> 02:11:22,782
Sherwood who drinks
like Paul Avery now?

2197
02:11:22,882 --> 02:11:25,385
-He retired.
-ls that what he told you?

2198
02:11:25,452 --> 02:11:29,656
-What, are you saying he's wrong?
-l'm saying stop calling my house.

2199
02:11:30,256 --> 02:11:31,791
-We ran them on Rick Marshall.
-No, Robert.

2200
02:11:31,891 --> 02:11:33,226
No, l know you don't think it's him.

2201
02:11:33,293 --> 02:11:34,728
l mean, no, l am not having
this conversation.

2202
02:11:34,794 --> 02:11:37,664
But l think that Marshall knew Darlene,
and l can't talk to Mageau or Linda,

2203
02:11:37,764 --> 02:11:38,765
so l'm gonna talk to Bob Vaughn.

2204
02:11:38,832 --> 02:11:40,100
-Robert. Robert, stop it!
-What?

2205
02:11:40,166 --> 02:11:42,435
Okay, the Rick Marshalls
of this world will suck you dry.

2206
02:11:42,535 --> 02:11:43,503
They're blind alleys.

2207
02:11:43,603 --> 02:11:46,720
But he said he wasn't gonna announce
his murders anymore, Dave.

2208
02:11:46,139 --> 02:11:47,240
He was just gonna do them.

2209
02:11:47,307 --> 02:11:50,276
Do you knowwhat the chances
of us arresting someone are now?

2210
02:11:50,377 --> 02:11:54,481
Too much time has gone by, okay?
Too much of the evidence is lost.

2211
02:11:54,581 --> 02:11:57,751
People get old, Robert. They forget.

2212
02:11:57,817 --> 02:12:01,988
Now, l have been a cop for 25 years.
Murder police for 12.

2213
02:12:02,880 --> 02:12:04,424
-What do you do for a living?
-You knowwhat l do for a living.

2214
02:12:04,491 --> 02:12:06,760
-You're a cartoonist.
-So what are you saying?

2215
02:12:06,826 --> 02:12:09,996
l am saying Zodiac was myjob.
lt is not yours.

2216
02:12:13,166 --> 02:12:15,535
-He's still out there, Dave.
-No, Robert. l am through with this.

2217
02:12:15,635 --> 02:12:17,504
l am through with you.

2218
02:12:23,843 --> 02:12:26,346
What about September 26, 1970?

2219
02:12:26,446 --> 02:12:30,160
-Okay, which one was that?
-The Lake Tahoe nurse goes missing.

2220
02:12:32,986 --> 02:12:34,320
One day before the vernal equinox.

2221
02:12:34,421 --> 02:12:36,322
-Dad?
-Yeah. Mark that.

2222
02:12:36,423 --> 02:12:40,600
Got another one. June 19th, 1971 .

2223
02:12:40,160 --> 02:12:42,962
That's got to be
near the summer solstice.

2224
02:12:45,298 --> 02:12:46,566
Oh, guys.

2225
02:12:46,666 --> 02:12:49,703
Don't tell Mom about
our special project, okay?

2226
02:12:50,203 --> 02:12:53,873
How come you and Mom
don't sleep in the same bed anymore?

2227
02:12:57,377 --> 02:12:58,378
Hello.

2228
02:12:58,478 --> 02:13:00,547
Mr. Graysmith,
it's Ken Narlow from Napa.

2229
02:13:00,647 --> 02:13:04,918
Oh, Captain Narlow.
Thank you for calling me back.

2230
02:13:05,180 --> 02:13:06,886
Yeah. How can I help?

2231
02:13:06,986 --> 02:13:09,656
l called you because we've been
cross-referencing lunar cycles

2232
02:13:09,723 --> 02:13:11,424
with the Zodiac's timeline.

2233
02:13:11,524 --> 02:13:15,729
More often than not, each cycle
since '69 corresponds with an attack

2234
02:13:15,829 --> 02:13:18,698
orwith one of the letters,
or an unsolved homicide.

2235
02:13:18,765 --> 02:13:21,668
-Who's working with you on this?
-Some colleagues.

2236
02:13:21,735 --> 02:13:22,769
Dad?

2237
02:13:24,700 --> 02:13:26,539
-Ken, can you hold on one second?
-Dad?

2238
02:13:26,639 --> 02:13:28,675
-What is it?
-What's this?

2239
02:13:32,512 --> 02:13:35,582
In the decade since the Zodiac's
last cipherwas received,

2240
02:13:35,682 --> 02:13:39,185
every federal agency
has taken a crack at decoding it.

2241
02:13:39,252 --> 02:13:42,220
But today,
where those agencies had failed,

2242
02:13:42,880 --> 02:13:44,758
a cartoonist has succeeded.

2243
02:13:44,858 --> 02:13:46,393
How did you do it?

2244
02:13:46,493 --> 02:13:51,931
Oh, just a lot of books from the library,
and I love puzzles, so I just...

2245
02:13:53,967 --> 02:13:56,202
Yeah. The ****ing library.

2246
02:13:56,269 --> 02:13:59,439
I believe that you can accomplish
anything that you put your mind...

2247
02:14:02,308 --> 02:14:05,111
That's a "J"? Okay. Honor Camp?

2248
02:14:06,746 --> 02:14:08,415
Thank you so much.

2249
02:14:10,383 --> 02:14:12,619
Hey, we found Linda.
She's in jail. lsn't that great?

2250
02:14:12,719 --> 02:14:13,887
Why'd you do it?

2251
02:14:13,953 --> 02:14:15,388
Because she'll be able to identify Rick...

2252
02:14:15,455 --> 02:14:18,224
-What are you talking about?
-You went on TV.

2253
02:14:18,792 --> 02:14:20,460
You put yourself out there
for him to see.

2254
02:14:20,560 --> 02:14:22,620
Oh, hon, you're being paranoid.

2255
02:14:22,128 --> 02:14:24,164
Then who's been calling our house
in the middle of the night

2256
02:14:24,264 --> 02:14:25,265
at least once a week?

2257
02:14:25,331 --> 02:14:26,566
Nobody.

2258
02:14:28,501 --> 02:14:30,236
What's it gonna take
for you to be done with this?

2259
02:14:30,303 --> 02:14:33,239
l can't talk about this now.
l have to go see Bob Vaughn.

2260
02:14:33,306 --> 02:14:36,643
Well, that's too bad,
because we're gonna talk about this.

2261
02:14:36,743 --> 02:14:39,790
And when is it gonna be finished?

2262
02:14:39,145 --> 02:14:41,140
When you catch him?
When you arrest him?

2263
02:14:41,114 --> 02:14:43,316
-Be serious.
-l am serious.

2264
02:14:45,151 --> 02:14:48,621
l need to knowwho he is.

2265
02:14:48,722 --> 02:14:51,858
l need to stand there,

2266
02:14:51,958 --> 02:14:55,862
l need to look him in the eye
and l need to know that it's him.

2267
02:14:57,764 --> 02:15:00,330
ls that more important
than your family's safety?

2268
02:15:00,133 --> 02:15:01,634
Of course not.

2269
02:15:03,603 --> 02:15:06,500
Why? Why do you need to do this?

2270
02:15:07,841 --> 02:15:08,975
Why?

2271
02:15:10,944 --> 02:15:12,946
Because nobody else will.

2272
02:15:13,130 --> 02:15:14,948
That's not good enough.

2273
02:15:15,150 --> 02:15:16,950
Are you done? Can l go?

2274
02:15:32,198 --> 02:15:34,300
-Mr. Vaughn?
-Mr. Graysmith?

2275
02:15:34,367 --> 02:15:35,402
-Yes.
-Hi.

2276
02:15:35,502 --> 02:15:36,836
You needed to speak to me?

2277
02:15:36,903 --> 02:15:39,339
Yes. There's a coffee shop
right on the corner.

2278
02:15:39,406 --> 02:15:42,509
-Why don't we just go to my home?
-Oh, l don't wanna put you out.

2279
02:15:42,575 --> 02:15:44,511
lt's no trouble at all.

2280
02:15:44,577 --> 02:15:47,800
-Where are you parked?
-Just right there.

2281
02:15:47,180 --> 02:15:50,550
-You can follow me.
-Oh. Okay.

2282
02:16:09,235 --> 02:16:10,837
Watch your step.

2283
02:16:12,272 --> 02:16:14,700
Come in.

2284
02:16:15,408 --> 02:16:18,511
-Very nice house.
-Oh, thank you.

2285
02:16:18,578 --> 02:16:20,447
lt's very rustic.

2286
02:16:20,547 --> 02:16:23,717
-Can l take yourjacket?
-No, thank you, l'm fine.

2287
02:16:23,817 --> 02:16:25,785
Okay. This way, please.

2288
02:16:28,588 --> 02:16:30,357
-Have a seat.
-Thank you.

2289
02:16:30,423 --> 02:16:32,959
-How about some tea?
-Oh, no, l'm all right.

2290
02:16:33,590 --> 02:16:34,527
-You sure?
-Yes.

2291
02:16:35,395 --> 02:16:39,132
l wanted to ask you about a film
that the Avenue may have played

2292
02:16:39,232 --> 02:16:41,134
while you were the organist there.

2293
02:16:41,234 --> 02:16:43,536
The Most Dangerous Game?

2294
02:16:43,603 --> 02:16:46,940
Oh, it's a classic. RKO. 1932.

2295
02:16:47,400 --> 02:16:51,745
Fay Wray, Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks.
We've run that picture many times.

2296
02:16:51,811 --> 02:16:53,380
ln '68, '69?

2297
02:16:54,948 --> 02:16:57,217
l'd have to check my records. Why?

2298
02:16:57,283 --> 02:16:59,386
Do you remember the Zodiac?

2299
02:17:01,588 --> 02:17:03,890
This is about Rick Marshall, isn't it?

2300
02:17:03,957 --> 02:17:07,394
-He was a projectionist there, right?
-For a time, yes.

2301
02:17:07,460 --> 02:17:11,498
But l have no occasion
to correspond with him these days.

2302
02:17:11,598 --> 02:17:14,670
Okay. Well, there is a connection

2303
02:17:14,134 --> 02:17:16,936
between one of the Zodiac attacks
and that film.

2304
02:17:17,300 --> 02:17:18,805
You mean the symbol?

2305
02:17:20,600 --> 02:17:21,274
Hold on.

2306
02:17:21,808 --> 02:17:25,945
The Zodiac symbol on film.
lt's on the countdown.

2307
02:17:29,816 --> 02:17:32,419
lt's trimmed off each reel
before it's shown,

2308
02:17:32,485 --> 02:17:35,880
but it always arrives with it.

2309
02:17:35,155 --> 02:17:36,523
Right there.

2310
02:17:37,157 --> 02:17:40,827
The first time l saw it in the papers,
l thought about that.

2311
02:17:41,661 --> 02:17:43,263
We got a tip

2312
02:17:43,329 --> 02:17:47,300
that Rick left a film canister here
that he told you never to open.

2313
02:17:47,367 --> 02:17:50,503
A tip about a mysterious film canister?

2314
02:17:51,337 --> 02:17:52,706
ls it true?

2315
02:17:54,641 --> 02:17:55,842
Yes.

2316
02:17:56,509 --> 02:17:58,812
-Did you open it?
-No.

2317
02:17:58,878 --> 02:18:03,183
-May l see it?
-Rick took it back in 1972.

2318
02:18:04,884 --> 02:18:09,689
This tip is how you got it in your head
that Rick is the Zodiac?

2319
02:18:09,789 --> 02:18:11,458
That and the poster.

2320
02:18:11,524 --> 02:18:12,892
The poster?

2321
02:18:14,861 --> 02:18:16,629
The poster that Rick drew.

2322
02:18:16,696 --> 02:18:19,966
The handwriting is the closest
that we have ever come to a match.

2323
02:18:20,330 --> 02:18:23,303
-Rick didn't draw any posters.
-No, he drew this one.

2324
02:18:23,370 --> 02:18:26,873
Mr. Graysmith, l do the posters myself.

2325
02:18:28,208 --> 02:18:30,760
That's my handwriting.

2326
02:18:38,351 --> 02:18:41,221
l won't take any more ofyour time.

2327
02:18:41,321 --> 02:18:46,693
Why don't l just go and find out
when we played that film?

2328
02:18:46,760 --> 02:18:48,261
Oh, that's all right.

2329
02:18:48,361 --> 02:18:51,765
lt's not a problem.
They're just down in the basement.

2330
02:18:53,566 --> 02:18:56,536
Not many people
have basements in California.

2331
02:18:59,205 --> 02:19:00,273
l do.

2332
02:19:02,442 --> 02:19:04,444
You coming, Mr. Graysmith?

2333
02:19:15,755 --> 02:19:19,426
The original studio one-sheets,
l always kept for myself.

2334
02:19:21,294 --> 02:19:23,863
The cheapo knock-offs
like you brought today

2335
02:19:23,930 --> 02:19:27,100
l end up tossing into the back alley.

2336
02:19:41,581 --> 02:19:43,116
'69.

2337
02:19:48,788 --> 02:19:50,560
You live alone?

2338
02:19:50,123 --> 02:19:55,895
Most Dangerous Game ran in May '69.

2339
02:19:55,962 --> 02:19:58,465
So, that would be about

2340
02:19:59,332 --> 02:20:02,635
nine weeks before
the first Zodiac letter, correct?

2341
02:20:05,572 --> 02:20:06,639
Yeah.

2342
02:20:11,144 --> 02:20:15,448
Do you think he saw the film
in our theater and was inspired?

2343
02:20:21,488 --> 02:20:24,424
Are you sure
there's nobody else in the house?

2344
02:20:25,992 --> 02:20:28,695
Would you like
to go upstairs and check?

2345
02:20:29,429 --> 02:20:30,463
No.

2346
02:20:33,533 --> 02:20:36,136
Thank you. Thanks for everything.

2347
02:20:36,970 --> 02:20:38,471
You're welcome.

2348
02:20:59,693 --> 02:21:01,127
lt's locked.

2349
02:21:11,971 --> 02:21:13,306
Thank you.

2350
02:21:16,376 --> 02:21:18,411
Good night, Mr. Graysmith!

2351
02:21:38,365 --> 02:21:42,680
Two killers. Got to be two killers.
One has the...

2352
02:21:49,909 --> 02:21:51,770
Guys?

2353
02:22:24,611 --> 02:22:26,613
You've got five minutes.

2354
02:22:34,754 --> 02:22:35,922
Linda?

2355
02:22:37,570 --> 02:22:38,558
Hi, l'm Robert.

2356
02:22:42,462 --> 02:22:44,264
Did you get my note?

2357
02:22:45,165 --> 02:22:47,167
-What's this about?
-Zodiac.

2358
02:22:48,735 --> 02:22:49,969
Figures.

2359
02:22:51,304 --> 02:22:54,740
-You got the look.
-What look?

2360
02:22:54,140 --> 02:22:56,142
l didn't mean anything.

2361
02:22:57,410 --> 02:22:59,813
Tell me about this painting party.

2362
02:23:00,980 --> 02:23:03,616
l told the cops about that so long ago.

2363
02:23:07,200 --> 02:23:08,822
Darlene always had
a lot of boys around,

2364
02:23:08,922 --> 02:23:10,857
even though she was married.

2365
02:23:10,957 --> 02:23:12,959
And this one guy was weird, though.

2366
02:23:13,260 --> 02:23:16,429
He used to bring her presents
from Tijuana and...

2367
02:23:17,630 --> 02:23:20,266
l don't knowwhy
she was friends with him.

2368
02:23:20,333 --> 02:23:22,802
She once told me he'd killed somebody.

2369
02:23:22,869 --> 02:23:24,471
Really?

2370
02:23:24,537 --> 02:23:26,773
Yeah, l think maybe
when he was in the service.

2371
02:23:26,840 --> 02:23:28,842
-Navy?
-l think so.

2372
02:23:28,942 --> 02:23:31,111
Was he into movies?
Was he a movie buff?

2373
02:23:31,177 --> 02:23:34,114
l can tell you that
he was not into people.

2374
02:23:34,180 --> 02:23:35,548
The party Darlene threw,

2375
02:23:35,648 --> 02:23:38,551
people were supposed to
just show up and drink beer, help paint.

2376
02:23:38,651 --> 02:23:40,887
But this guy showed up in a suit,

2377
02:23:40,987 --> 02:23:43,957
and just sat in a chair
all by himself all night long.

2378
02:23:44,240 --> 02:23:45,458
Didn't talk to anyone.

2379
02:23:45,525 --> 02:23:47,394
And Darlene told me
to stay away from him.

2380
02:23:47,494 --> 02:23:49,362
She was scared of him.

2381
02:23:51,564 --> 02:23:54,670
And a couple ofweeks later,
she was dead.

2382
02:23:54,167 --> 02:23:56,669
l'm sorry. Do you remember his name?

2383
02:23:57,637 --> 02:24:01,508
l mean, it was short,
like a nickname, like Stan.

2384
02:24:01,574 --> 02:24:03,910
-Rick?
-No, l don't think so.

2385
02:24:04,811 --> 02:24:07,130
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

2386
02:24:07,800 --> 02:24:09,649
How can you be sure?
lt was a long time ago. Think hard.

2387
02:24:09,716 --> 02:24:11,818
l am thinking hard.

2388
02:24:11,885 --> 02:24:13,253
lt was Rick.

2389
02:24:14,254 --> 02:24:15,388
No, it wasn't.

2390
02:24:15,488 --> 02:24:17,857
-lt was Rick. lt was Rick Marshall.
-No.

2391
02:24:17,924 --> 02:24:19,659
Just say it!

2392
02:24:19,726 --> 02:24:21,594
lt wasn't Rick.

2393
02:24:34,374 --> 02:24:35,742
lt was Leigh.

2394
02:24:38,878 --> 02:24:41,414
-Leigh?
-Yeah, Leigh.

2395
02:24:42,749 --> 02:24:44,840
Sounds right.

2396
02:24:48,888 --> 02:24:51,725
Officer! l need you to let me in.

2397
02:24:51,791 --> 02:24:53,960
-ls this an emergency?
-No, l just need to see one file.

2398
02:24:54,600 --> 02:24:55,695
No, you need to come back
tomorrow morning.

2399
02:24:55,762 --> 02:24:58,310
-One file, just for one second.
-8:00 a.m., when we're open.

2400
02:24:58,980 --> 02:24:59,733
Sergeant! Sergeant Mulanax!

2401
02:24:59,799 --> 02:25:02,268
Sergeant, l just need to see one file!

2402
02:25:02,369 --> 02:25:05,772
Just give me five minutes.
l know exactly where it is.

2403
02:25:06,773 --> 02:25:07,941
Please!

2404
02:25:21,287 --> 02:25:22,989
l shouldn't be talking to you.

2405
02:25:23,890 --> 02:25:25,125
-You got five minutes.
-Okay.

2406
02:25:27,327 --> 02:25:28,595
Here. Here.

2407
02:25:28,661 --> 02:25:32,465
Linda states that some of
Darlene's closest friends are Leigh,

2408
02:25:32,565 --> 02:25:35,568
who used to bring Darlene
presents from Tijuana.

2409
02:25:35,635 --> 02:25:37,570
-So what?
-He knew her.

2410
02:25:37,637 --> 02:25:39,339
Linda said Leigh. This is Leigh.

2411
02:25:39,439 --> 02:25:41,908
No. That's just one name in a file
that contains hundreds.

2412
02:25:41,975 --> 02:25:43,443
lt's nothing.

2413
02:25:44,144 --> 02:25:46,346
-Dave Toschi...
-Agrees with me.

2414
02:25:46,846 --> 02:25:49,783
Our investigation
into this subject is over.

2415
02:25:52,752 --> 02:25:54,200
l'm sorry.

2416
02:26:03,163 --> 02:26:04,330
Hello.

2417
02:26:19,512 --> 02:26:20,947
Who's there?

2418
02:26:24,351 --> 02:26:27,887
-You didn't return my calls.
-Oh, l've been kind of busy.

2419
02:26:27,987 --> 02:26:29,856
Yeah. l can see that.

2420
02:26:32,250 --> 02:26:33,893
How's the book coming?

2421
02:26:36,963 --> 02:26:38,998
l tried to send you these.

2422
02:26:40,330 --> 02:26:41,835
l called the Chron.

2423
02:26:41,901 --> 02:26:44,704
Well, l'm not a cartoonist anymore, so...

2424
02:26:46,239 --> 02:26:47,507
l heard.

2425
02:26:52,645 --> 02:26:55,248
When's the last time
you ate something?

2426
02:26:57,751 --> 02:26:59,886
Nothing makes sense anymore.

2427
02:27:02,555 --> 02:27:04,891
-Did it ever?
-Yeah, it did.

2428
02:27:06,359 --> 02:27:09,262
Robert, it was just the date
that didn't end.

2429
02:27:09,729 --> 02:27:11,564
You don't mean that.

2430
02:27:12,932 --> 02:27:14,200
A little.

2431
02:27:17,370 --> 02:27:18,838
The kids miss you.

2432
02:27:18,905 --> 02:27:22,750
-l can't have them see me like this.
-Neither can l.

2433
02:27:22,776 --> 02:27:24,911
So, do whatever you have to,

2434
02:27:25,879 --> 02:27:27,414
but finish this.

2435
02:27:54,941 --> 02:27:56,760
Dave!

2436
02:27:56,910 --> 02:27:58,578
Dave! lt's Robert!

2437
02:28:00,714 --> 02:28:02,382
-Dave!
-ls he actually here?

2438
02:28:02,449 --> 02:28:04,150
l'm gonna kill him.

2439
02:28:04,484 --> 02:28:07,120
l'm calling SFPD. Where's my gun?

2440
02:28:09,656 --> 02:28:10,824
Dave!

2441
02:28:10,924 --> 02:28:12,659
Robert! Go away!

2442
02:28:12,759 --> 02:28:14,728
Dave! He made a mistake!

2443
02:28:14,794 --> 02:28:16,796
-Get away from the window.
-l'll meet you around front.

2444
02:28:16,896 --> 02:28:18,398
No, you won't.

2445
02:28:19,499 --> 02:28:21,735
-You have to hear this!
-No, l don't, Robert!

2446
02:28:21,801 --> 02:28:24,304
The birthday was the one time
that he was weak!

2447
02:28:24,404 --> 02:28:26,239
The one time
that he gave something away!

2448
02:28:26,306 --> 02:28:29,642
-Robert, l am calling the police.
-lt's Arthur Leigh Allen!

2449
02:28:34,647 --> 02:28:36,916
Where did you get that name?

2450
02:28:36,983 --> 02:28:38,585
He called the Bellis' house.

2451
02:28:38,651 --> 02:28:40,920
December '69.
"l need to kill. Today's my birthday."

2452
02:28:40,987 --> 02:28:42,956
lt was his birthday.

2453
02:28:43,230 --> 02:28:45,992
Arthur Leigh Allen
was born on December 18th.

2454
02:28:48,995 --> 02:28:50,430
Get in here.

2455
02:28:52,499 --> 02:28:54,701
-Here you go.
-Thanks.

2456
02:28:57,670 --> 02:28:59,506
He wrote me, you know?

2457
02:29:00,173 --> 02:29:01,341
2,500 suspects,

2458
02:29:01,441 --> 02:29:05,110
the only one who everwrote me
a letterwas Leigh Allen.

2459
02:29:05,945 --> 02:29:07,647
They like to help, you know, sometimes.

2460
02:29:07,714 --> 02:29:09,516
Yes, Robert, l know.

2461
02:29:10,650 --> 02:29:13,353
He was arrested January 1975
for molestation.

2462
02:29:13,453 --> 02:29:15,355
He sent me that when he got out.

2463
02:29:15,455 --> 02:29:18,191
"Dear Dave, if l can ever be
of any help to you, just let me know.

2464
02:29:18,291 --> 02:29:20,126
"l'm sorry l wasn't your man."

2465
02:29:20,193 --> 02:29:21,795
And it's typewritten.

2466
02:29:21,861 --> 02:29:24,297
Using a typewriter is not a crime.

2467
02:29:25,699 --> 02:29:27,534
And he knew Darlene.

2468
02:29:28,868 --> 02:29:30,904
lt's in the Vallejo files.

2469
02:29:36,760 --> 02:29:39,479
Mulanax said that
he was your favorite suspect.

2470
02:29:39,546 --> 02:29:43,550
That you spent two years on him,
and that nobody ever came close.

2471
02:29:46,553 --> 02:29:48,555
All the evidence said no.

2472
02:29:49,856 --> 02:29:52,920
Sherwood disqualified his handwriting.

2473
02:29:52,192 --> 02:29:55,362
The same Sherwood
that drinks like Paul Avery now?

2474
02:29:56,229 --> 02:29:58,164
Yes, you have Sherwood Morrill
in writing saying,

2475
02:29:58,231 --> 02:29:59,332
"l'm sorry, this just won't work."

2476
02:29:59,399 --> 02:30:01,167
-But you also have Terry Pascoe...
-His protégé.

2477
02:30:01,234 --> 02:30:02,335
Yeah, fine, it's his protégé,

2478
02:30:02,402 --> 02:30:04,237
but he's a handwriting expert
nonetheless, and he's saying,

2479
02:30:04,337 --> 02:30:07,400
"Do not disqualify this suspect
on the basis of handwriting."

2480
02:30:07,107 --> 02:30:09,750
-So the two cancel each other out.
-No, they don't.

2481
02:30:09,175 --> 02:30:10,510
lt was Sherwood's case.

2482
02:30:10,577 --> 02:30:12,450
He was the head
of Questioned Documents.

2483
02:30:12,112 --> 02:30:13,513
lf it went to trial,

2484
02:30:13,580 --> 02:30:16,549
all the defense would have to do
is call Sherwood to the stand.

2485
02:30:16,616 --> 02:30:19,285
And there was no way of getting Allen
into court in the first place,

2486
02:30:19,386 --> 02:30:20,620
because there was no evidence, Robert.

2487
02:30:20,720 --> 02:30:21,888
What do you mean,
there's no evidence?

2488
02:30:21,955 --> 02:30:23,890
You have him seen with the ciphers.

2489
02:30:23,189 --> 02:30:25,425
The military boot prints.
The same size shoes and gloves.

2490
02:30:25,525 --> 02:30:27,727
The Most Dangerous Game.
The Zodiac watch.

2491
02:30:27,794 --> 02:30:29,290
The background with school children.

2492
02:30:29,950 --> 02:30:30,964
The misspellings of Christ-mass.
The bloody knives.

2493
02:30:31,640 --> 02:30:32,932
All circumstantial.

2494
02:30:33,330 --> 02:30:35,769
Paul Stine's shirt, his wallet, his keys.

2495
02:30:35,869 --> 02:30:37,637
We should have found
one of those things in that trailer.

2496
02:30:37,737 --> 02:30:39,439
-We didn't.
-That's...

2497
02:30:41,875 --> 02:30:43,877
Okay. Catherine Allen states that

2498
02:30:43,943 --> 02:30:46,112
"Leigh cleaned out his trailer
on Friday afterwork

2499
02:30:46,212 --> 02:30:49,883
"and moved it to Santa Rosa
on Saturday, August 7th, 1971 ."

2500
02:30:49,949 --> 02:30:51,985
You interviewed him
at the refinery on August 4th.

2501
02:30:52,850 --> 02:30:53,620
-Yeah.
-So, he's cleaning out his trailer,

2502
02:30:53,720 --> 02:30:57,590
he's moving into a different county
48 hours after you interviewed him?

2503
02:30:59,125 --> 02:31:02,162
Okay. Okay.
Look at the stuff side by side, Dave.

2504
02:31:02,262 --> 02:31:03,396
All right.

2505
02:31:03,463 --> 02:31:06,232
Okay, Arthur Leigh Allen
and the Zodiac, their timelines.

2506
02:31:06,299 --> 02:31:09,690
-When was the first murder in Vallejo?
-Christmas, 1968.

2507
02:31:09,135 --> 02:31:11,738
Eight months before that,
Allen is fired for molesting his students

2508
02:31:11,805 --> 02:31:13,940
and his family discovers
that he's a pedophile.

2509
02:31:14,700 --> 02:31:16,343
-Now, when do the letters begin?
-July, '69.

2510
02:31:16,443 --> 02:31:18,111
After the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

2511
02:31:18,178 --> 02:31:21,281
And they continue
until you go to see him at work.

2512
02:31:21,348 --> 02:31:24,617
Now, after that, do any of the letters
contain swatches of Paul Stine's shirt?

2513
02:31:24,684 --> 02:31:26,519
No. Because he dumped them,
because he got scared.

2514
02:31:26,619 --> 02:31:28,355
Because he knew
that you were on to him.

2515
02:31:28,455 --> 02:31:32,192
-So, when's the next letter from Zodiac?
-Not until January of 1974.

2516
02:31:32,292 --> 02:31:33,693
He is silent for three years.

2517
02:31:33,793 --> 02:31:35,595
Then, in '74, he feels comfortable again

2518
02:31:35,662 --> 02:31:37,597
because everybody's moved off
Allen as a suspect.

2519
02:31:37,664 --> 02:31:38,665
And what do we get?

2520
02:31:38,765 --> 02:31:42,769
Three new letters from Zodiac
in January, May, and July in '74.

2521
02:31:42,836 --> 02:31:46,500
-But then the letters stop.
-What happens to Allen?

2522
02:31:49,509 --> 02:31:51,110
He's arrested.

2523
02:31:51,878 --> 02:31:55,281
January, 1975,
they send him to Atascadero.

2524
02:31:55,348 --> 02:31:58,284
We don't get another letter from Zodiac
the entire time he's there.

2525
02:31:58,351 --> 02:32:00,987
-When is he released?
-August, '77.

2526
02:32:01,540 --> 02:32:04,824
Allen gets out. He types you an apology,
and then what?

2527
02:32:04,891 --> 02:32:08,128
We get our first new Zodiac letter
in four years.

2528
02:32:13,700 --> 02:32:17,137
Okay. Zodiac had to have known
Darlene Ferrin, right?

2529
02:32:17,203 --> 02:32:19,472
Yes, because of the phone calls
on the night of her murder.

2530
02:32:19,539 --> 02:32:22,342
Because of the Vallejo file,

2531
02:32:22,409 --> 02:32:24,477
we know that Darlene knew
a man named Leigh?

2532
02:32:24,544 --> 02:32:25,545
Yes.

2533
02:32:25,645 --> 02:32:27,414
So, all coincidence aside, Robert,

2534
02:32:27,514 --> 02:32:30,316
how can you be sure that Leigh Allen
is the Leigh from this file?

2535
02:32:30,383 --> 02:32:32,886
Now, Vallejo is a small town,
but it's not that small.

2536
02:32:32,986 --> 02:32:34,320
How do you put
the two of them together?

2537
02:32:34,387 --> 02:32:37,557
This is a case that's covered
both Northern and Southern California,

2538
02:32:37,657 --> 02:32:40,260
with victims and suspects
spread over hundreds of miles.

2539
02:32:40,930 --> 02:32:41,895
-Would you agree?
-Yes.

2540
02:32:43,960 --> 02:32:45,932
Darlene Ferrin worked
at the Vallejo House of Pancakes

2541
02:32:46,320 --> 02:32:48,568
on the corner of Tennessee and Caroll.

2542
02:32:51,371 --> 02:32:56,109
Arthur Leigh Allen lived in his
mother's basement on Fresno Street.

2543
02:32:57,844 --> 02:33:01,247
Door to door, that is less than 50 yards.

2544
02:33:04,617 --> 02:33:06,119
ls that true?

2545
02:33:07,120 --> 02:33:08,688
l've walked it.

2546
02:33:12,459 --> 02:33:13,927
Jesus Christ.

2547
02:33:20,600 --> 02:33:21,634
So?

2548
02:33:25,572 --> 02:33:27,140
The prints, the handwriting...

2549
02:33:27,240 --> 02:33:30,243
-l'm not asking you as a cop.
-But l am a cop.

2550
02:33:33,790 --> 02:33:35,115
l can't prove this.

2551
02:33:35,215 --> 02:33:38,151
Just because you can't prove it,
doesn't mean it's not true.

2552
02:33:38,251 --> 02:33:39,919
Easy, Dirty Harry.

2553
02:33:43,456 --> 02:33:45,580
Finish the book.

2554
02:33:53,967 --> 02:33:56,469
Thank you. Thank you for breakfast.

2555
02:35:04,704 --> 02:35:06,206
Can l help you?

2556
02:35:07,874 --> 02:35:08,875
No.

2557
02:36:30,256 --> 02:36:31,624
Mr. Mageau.

2558
02:36:32,292 --> 02:36:34,594
Thanks for coming to see me.

2559
02:36:34,661 --> 02:36:36,620
You're the one l talked to on the phone?

2560
02:36:36,129 --> 02:36:39,666
l'm George Bawart. Vallejo PD.
l took over for Jack Mulanax.

2561
02:36:40,667 --> 02:36:43,670
lt's been 22 years.
l don't know how l can help you.

2562
02:36:43,770 --> 02:36:44,938
Well, this is just a formality.

2563
02:36:45,400 --> 02:36:46,439
l'm gonna show you
a group of photographs.

2564
02:36:46,506 --> 02:36:48,408
Now, the person that shot you
may or may not be

2565
02:36:48,475 --> 02:36:50,577
among these photographs.

2566
02:36:50,643 --> 02:36:51,845
You don't have to pick anybody out

2567
02:36:51,945 --> 02:36:54,114
just because l'm showing you
these pictures, you understand?

2568
02:36:54,180 --> 02:36:55,782
Yes, sir, l do.

2569
02:36:56,649 --> 02:36:57,984
All right.

2570
02:36:58,985 --> 02:37:00,520
Take your time.

2571
02:37:00,987 --> 02:37:03,823
lfyou don't recognize anyone,
that's okay.

2572
02:37:15,301 --> 02:37:16,669
That's him.

2573
02:37:18,138 --> 02:37:20,106
How sure are you?

2574
02:37:20,173 --> 02:37:22,800
Yeah, l'm pretty sure.

2575
02:37:24,678 --> 02:37:25,845
He had a round face like this guy.

2576
02:37:25,945 --> 02:37:27,147
Wait. Am l to understand

2577
02:37:27,213 --> 02:37:29,150
that you're now identifying
the second photograph?

2578
02:37:29,115 --> 02:37:32,185
No, no. Just that
he had a round face like that.

2579
02:37:34,220 --> 02:37:35,722
lt's this man.

2580
02:37:36,656 --> 02:37:37,991
All right.

2581
02:37:39,793 --> 02:37:42,862
Now, on a scale of one to 10,
10 being positive,

2582
02:37:46,966 --> 02:37:48,568
how sure are you?

2583
02:37:52,338 --> 02:37:54,700
At least an eight.

2584
02:37:56,743 --> 02:38:00,647
The last time l saw this face
was July 4th, 1969.

2585
02:38:03,883 --> 02:38:06,586
l am very sure
that's the man who shot me.
