- Previously on The InBetween... - I can't wake up my mom. - The woman I saw was dead. He'd taken out her eyes. - Perp's name was Ed Roven. Texas, mid '90s. Six women murdered. Same MO, same signature. Executed October 2nd, 2005. Roven screwed up when he left his last victim's son alive. Mark Waterman told the cops everything Roven did to his mom. He couldn't save her, and he blamed himself, so he starts to create violent fantasies in which he's like Roven. - We're not a team. - I want out of the inbetween. And you're gonna help me, Cottontail. (UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYS) - Hey, we're closed! # I'm burning slow. # With me in the rain. - (SIGHS) - # Walking in the soft rain. # Calling out my name. - Last call was half an hour ago. Hey. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here! - # Wake up on brilliant days. - Millie? (GASPS) (SHIP HORN BLARES) (MACHINERY WHIRRS) (GASPS) (TENSE MUSIC) - Find me. - (GASPS) # Someone # somewhere # in summertime. # Someone # somewhere... # - OK, I understand. Thank you so much for calling, Doctor. - Why is the doctor calling so early? - He had some news. Uh, he took a look at my most recent film, and the steroids aren't shrinking the tumour quite as fast as he'd like. (SOMBRE MUSIC) - I see. So, what does that mean? - Look, we knew that the surgery was inevitable. - Yeah, but not this soon. - Well, he also had some good news. Dr Ramona Ashcroft, who's one of the best brain surgeons in the country, he said she's available to fly in in the next few weeks to perform the procedure. - OK. - Let's not get into it right now. - Hey, guys. - Hey, sweetie. How's it going? - Hey. - I need a favour. - Yeah? - Can you look into a cold case for me? - Yeah, sure. Do you have a name? - Millicent Pierce. I saw her last night at the bar, and then I spent a few hours looking through missing-persons websites until I found her photo. She disappeared in the summer of 1985. She wants me to find her. - 1985? That's almost 10 years before you were born. - Yeah. There are other things too. There was a fishing boat and rope and another dead woman. - OK, well, look, I'm going into the office early, so I'll look up the file. I'll give you a call. - Thank you. I'll see you later. - Did we catch a case? - Millicent Pierce. Disappeared August 29th, 1985. - A cold case. So no body, no forensics, and not to mention a 34-year lag time for witnesses' memories to fade. What are you thinking? Reinterview the parents? - I can handle that. But if you wouldn't mind, I could use some help with these files. - What files? - These files. Thanks, fellas. - Any time, Detective. - I did a quick search. In 1985, every detective on Millie's case was working at least two other missing women, mostly sex workers and runaways. - Was Millie a runaway? - No. But she was pegged as one because she snuck out of the house post-curfew, never came home. But she was a good student. She was close to her family. - Oh. What's the connection? Cassie. - She said when she saw Millie, there was another girl there as well. Now, it could be they were taken by the same person. These seven women went missing the same year as Millie, and, like her, the bodies were never found. A task force worked on the cases as long as they could back in '85, but eventually the trail went cold. - Detectives retire. Files were sent to storage. These women were forgotten. And if he was never caught, whoever took them could still be active. - I've asked unis to gather all missing-persons files for the last 34 years. But basically, any woman that disappeared in that time and hasn't been found is potentially a victim, especially prostitutes. - I'll check with Vice, see if any sex workers have recently gone missing. - I've already done that. According to them, this woman, Becky Russell, disappeared just five days ago, last seen down near Sea-Tac. - Airport's popular with working girls. - Yeah. Friend of hers said the last time she saw her, she was getting into a car with an older guy. Didn't see his face. - Well, guess it goes without saying that if he's been active for over 30 years, he'd best be described as older. He'd be in his 50s or 60s by now. - Cassie said Millie wants to be found. What if she's also trying to help us bring down a serial killer? (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - So you're saying seven other women went missing the same year as Millie? - Mm-hm. All prostitutes, all last seen near Sea-Tac. Asante and I are looking into it. - That's her. This is the woman I saw in the fishing net. - Tara Burns. She went missing two days before Millie. All right, are you ready for this? Grieving relatives? It's never easy. - I understand. What did you tell them about me? - I told them you were my daughter, you saw Millie's case on the internet, and you asked me to look into it. But they're not gonna me anything they haven't already said to the original detectives a million times. If there's any new information to glean in there, you'll be the one getting it ` from Millie. (THUNDER RUMBLES) - We were surprised to get your call, Detective. It's been a long time since anyone's been interested in looking for Millie. - Very long time. - I can't make any promises. - We understand. It's been 34 years, and if Millie were still alive, she... - If my sister were still alive, she would have come back to us by now. We don't expect miracles. - We just want to give our daughter a proper burial. She shouldn't be out there. Out there alone. - We'll do everything we can. The night Millie disappeared, you thought she'd slipped out of the house to meet someone? - Earlier that summer, I had caught her sneaking out the back door. She was all dressed up. She had a date. I'm sure of it. - And she never mentioned to you the name of the person that she was seeing? - No. - None of her friends knew either. - Millie wasn't supposed to be dating. We had her on a strict curfew. But... - Our daughter was headstrong. (CHUCKLES) Independent. She wanted one of those Walkmans, you know? Henry told her that he would buy her one for Christmas if she kept her grades up. - But she couldn't wait. She made money herself, babysitting. I swear I never saw her without those headphones. Music playing all the time. - Millie didn't walk. She danced. Everywhere she went. - Is the Walkman still here? - They think she was wearing it when... A-Anyway, we never found it. - Everything else in her room is exactly as she left it. - Would it be OK if... That is, do you think I could look in Millie's room? - Upstairs. Second door on the left. (SOFT, SOMBRE MUSIC) - You had style, Millie Pierce. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC FADES) (WHIRRING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (UPBEAT '80s ROCK MUSIC) - # Peter Rabbit and Little Boy Blue # hidden in the brush with Mr Magoo. (MUSIC QUICKENS, DISTORTS) - # Along came McDonald with his trusty gun. # He goes, 'Everybody run.' # Peter Rabbit. # - Well, nothing new my end. How about you? - I'm not sure. Do you remember the Peter Rabbit song, the one I said would be important in the Shannon Bell case? - Yeah. - I heard it again up in Millie's room. - Mark Waterman wasn't even alive when Millie disappeared. - No, but Ed Roven was. - What do you know about Ed Roven? - The night you caught Waterman, Roven came to visit me. - Just the once? - No. - Why didn't you tell me? - I knew you'd be upset. - Oh. - But he's been... not... unhelpful a couple of times. The guy knows his way around the underworld. - Putting aside my keen discomfort with this for a moment, what could Ed Roven have to do with Millie's disappearance? He was killing women in Texas. - Yes, but not until the 1990s, right? I don't know what it means. It might be nothing, but... I don't think it's nothing. - I'll look into it. Is there anything else you want to tell me? - Yes. Uh... I love you. - (CHUCKLES) - Bye. - # You got me where you want me. # I'm going left, right, left, right, left, right # through the` # - (STATIC) (MUSIC RESUMES, STOPS) (OMINOUS MUSIC) - You better stay out of my business, little girl! (DRAMATIC MUSIC RISES) Captions were made with support from NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Copyright Able 2022 - You think all these women were grabbed by the same guy? - Well, we think the killer was concentrating on high-risk victims ` prostitutes and runaways. - Any bodies turn up? - No. None of these women have ever been found, alive or dead. - We're still going through files, but looks like our guy has a type. Young, Caucasian, brunette. - All of these women were last seen near Sea-Tac. Looks like that was his hunting ground. - Becky Russell fits the profile. - Yeah, but Millie Pierce doesn't. She wasn't a sex worker. She had light eyes, light hair. - Yeah, that's true, but Millie disappeared two days after Tara Burns was last seen ` August 27th, 1985. - Could be a coincidence. - Or maybe Millie was an outlier. - Then how do you explain the fact that these eight women and Becky Russell disappeared 34 years apart? - We don't think he quit in 1985. We think he just slowed down, enough to stay under the radar. - Becky's suspected abductor was thought to be in his 50s or 60s. Unis are going through missing-persons reports from the last 34 years. - How many? - 15 women so far. - I just hung up with Becky Russell's sister. Their mother's sick, and Becky was helping take care of her. The family's sure she wouldn't have left town without telling anybody. - If you're right about this and there's a serial who's been operating under the nose of the police department for over 30 years, I want us to be the ones who catch this guy. Keep digging. Find out everything you possibly can about these missing women. And keep me posted on Becky Russell. (TENSE MUSIC) - Let's go. - Cassie's sure Ed Roven was involved in Millie's disappearance? - Yeah. - But obviously he couldn't have taken Becky Russell. - What are the odds two serials were operating in Seattle at the same time? - It's happened before. In the 1970s, Santa Cruz had three. - So maybe Roven's responsible for Millie, and our other women, the prostitutes, belong to our unknown serial. Look at this. Bank statements in the early '80s show that Roven was mostly in the southern states until... April '85, he cashes a cheque in Colorado. - He was heading northwest. - Mm-hm. After that, the trail goes cold until he shows up back in Texas almost eight months later. - So it's possible he was in Seattle the summer of 1985. - Right. Maybe he was working off the books. He was living out of pocket. He... Cassie said she saw a fishing boat. And a net. - Could be he worked a fishing trawler for cash. - Let's get down to the docks. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) - Last chance, Cottontail. Walk away. - How'd you know Millie, Ed? - You got a piece of fluff in your ears? I said it ain't your business. - Her parents want her back. It's their business, isn't it? She doesn't belong with you. - Millie's fine where she is. She's in a lovely spot. - Millie disagrees. - You've seen her? - You said you wanted out of the inbetween, wanted to do some good so you could move on. Here's your chance. Why aren't you taking it? (TENSE MUSIC) What will I learn about you when I find Millie? - Nothin'. Because you won't find her. Ever. Now, you leave it be. - Or you'll what? That's what I thought. (RATTLING) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (WHISPERING ECHOES) - We're just about to close up. - And we'd just like to ask some questions. - ASANTE: How long have you worked here? - Since right after high school. - Do you, by any chance, recognise this man? Ed Roven. - Nah. Is he a fisherman? - Was. This would have been in the mid-1980s. - This is what he'd look like then. - Hey, Frank! Can you come here a sec? It's Frank Blair. He's my boss. - Good evening, sir. - What can I do you for? - Do you ever remember seeing this man? - Would have been 1985. - Sorry, these guys all blend together, especially if it was that long ago. But we've got records of every vessel that's come and gone from this port since the 1950s. Some of them have the names of crew members. - We need May to December, '85. - All right. Give me a minute to pull the files. - Thank you, sir. (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS, PEOPLE CHATTER) (UNSETTLING MUSIC) - (GASPS) (GASPS) (CHOKES) - ('PETER RABBIT' PLAYS) - The hell is going on here? - Help me, please. Help me. (CHOKES) - Oh. Cottontail. You think I was coming to save you? Remember, now, we said the next one's mine. - (EXHALES SHAKILY) - So you don't know who the other guy was? - I couldn't see his face. It was horrible. They were so cruel. They talked about 'the next one'. Roven said it was his turn. - They must have been working together ` for that summer, at least. - Right. - This serial we're hunting... is Ed Roven's mentor. - This is the guy you said was taking prostitutes? - Roven went to Texas at the end of the summer. After that, we found reports for 31 more missing women in Seattle. Caucasian. Brunette. All the victims were prostitutes, runaways, or homeless. - Every one of them was last seen down near Sea-Tac. The last woman we found who fit the profile, Becky Russell, she went missing five days ago. - Maybe this is why Roven doesn't want us looking for Millie. He's protecting his friend. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Hey. I've gone through the paperwork from the dockmaster's office. - You find Ed Roven? - No. But the summer Millie disappeared, there was a private boat moored on the marina called Acquiesce. It stayed there for five months and left two days after Millie disappeared. - Something special about that boat? - The captain, Amos Scott. He retired to Fidalgo Island. I sent him a photo of Millie, but he didn't recognise her. But he did remember Ed Roven, said Roven worked for him that whole summer. - Thanks for coming in, Captain Scott. - Well, it's not many things get me over to the mainland these days, but a call from the cops is one of 'em. - Captain, Detective Asante said you remembered this man. - Yup. That's Eddie. Signed on to my crew... sometime in, uh, '85, I guess. Didn't stay long, though. - How come? - The way Eddie was... He was a bit off. Tell you the truth, he gave us all the heebie-jeebies. I was glad to get rid of him at the end of the season. - Did Ed have any friends? - Yeah, he spent most of his time with this buddy of his from town. What the hell was his name now? Um... - Can you describe him? - Yeah. Dark hair. Tan. Bit of a salesman. Always ready with the glad hand and the shark eyes. You know what I mean? Worked in construction. I think he got Eddie a few jobs off the books. I remember one time Eddie borrowed my truck and a few hundred bucks against his salary to go bail this guy out of jail. - Did Eddie say what the charge was? - Solicitation. This guy picked up a prostitute down by Sea-Tac there. (TENSE MUSIC) - It wasn't till 1984 that the brass finally convinced the city to prioritise arresting johns over working girls. - Well, it gives us a nice pool of suspects to wade through. It's mostly out-of-towners, guys at their bachelor party. - Look at this. - What? You get something? - Frank Blair. - What, the dockmaster? - Well, he is now, but yes. Look at this. Back in '85, he was working in construction. - Arrested for solicitation on July 1st, 1985. Bailed out by one Edward Roven. - Frank Blair is Ed Roven's mentor. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Frank Blair! Seattle PD! - WOMAN SCREAMS: Help me! Help me! Help! (SOBS) Help! Help! - Go, go, go, go, go! - Seattle PD! Stop where you are! - Open it. - (SOBS) (SCREAMS) - Police. Police. You're safe. You're safe. (DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hey, kid. It's me. - Hey. What's up? - We found Ed Roven's mentor, a guy named Frank Blair. - What about Becky Russell? - She's pretty banged up, but she's still alive. - And Millie? - CSU is in Blair's yard now using ground-penetrating radar. They think there are at least seven bodies buried there. - If they find Millie, I wanna be there. - Well, we're at the precinct now. We're booking Blair for murder. Meet me here. I'll drive you over to Blair's. - OK, I just finished my shift. I'll be there in 15. (GLASS SHATTERS) - He told me what you are. He told me to take your eyes. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - (GASPS) - (SCREAMS) (CONTINUES SCREAMING) You're a witch! He told me you have to be stopped! (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Hey. There you go. Are you sure you're all right? - Yeah. I'm OK. - I guess that pepper spray keychain I bought you came in handy after all. - (SCOFFS) You're gloating. Really? - No, I'm just glad you're safe. - Did they arrest the guy? - Yeah. He's got multiple assault priors, long history of mental illness. Looks like you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. - I'm not so sure. - What do you mean? - (SIGHS) I've seen him before. With Roven. They were talking. - Are you saying Roven got someone to attack you? - The guy called me a witch, said he wanted to take out my eyes. It's pretty Roven-specific. I'm probably just paranoid. Roven's a ghost. I mean, when he talks to people, they can't hear him. - Unless they're like you. Right? (KNOCK AT DOOR) - CSU found 13 bodies at Blair's cabin so far. Preliminary IDs came in for the women who disappeared in 1985, including Tara Burns. - Wow. - A lot of grateful families are finally getting answers about their missing daughters and sisters. - Did they find Millie? - There's no sign of her at Blair's cabin. - If Millie was taken the same week as Tara, killed by the same man, then it stands to reason that they would be buried together. - Frank Blair's got a lawyer, and he's talking. He says he doesn't know where Millie is. - Can I see him? Roven killed Millie. I'm sure of it. If I get close to his best friend, maybe I can get something off him. - My client has agreed to cooperate. He can help close over 60 cold cases today. - You're keen to make a quick deal, Frank? - I had a good run. - We know you were friends with Ed Roven. The only reason you gave us the ship's manifests is because you knew we wouldn't find his name on any of the crew lists. - You didn't think that we'd look for him on private boats, track down retired captains? - You're thorough. I'll give you that. - We know you and Ed Roven took Millie Pierce. - I told you already. I don't know nothing about that little bitch. - Pick one of the 60 other cases my client is willing to confess to, detective. - Right after we get an answer on this one. Where is Millie? (TENSE MUSIC) - You're asking the wrong guy, detective. The only man with all those answers, he's long dead. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) - He'll talk. They always do. - He doesn't know where Millie is. I think Ed Roven took her somewhere. He's the only one who knows. And that is why he's so sure we'll never find her. And we won't, unless... - Unless what? - How do I question Roven? Like, get him to tell me what he knows? - (SCOFFS) - It's not that simple. Detectives go through years of training before they sit down to interrogate serials. - Yeah, we don't have that kind of time. Break it down for me. - Well, there are a couple of simple techniques you can try. You can ask him if he has` - Hang on a minute. I'm not throwing Cassie into a game of psychological cat-and-mouse with Ed Roven. - I can handle myself. - He's not your average visitor, Cassie. Spectral or not, he is capable of harming you in ways that go beyond physical. - We told Millie's family we would do everything we could to find her. - And we will. Asante and myself. - (SCOFFS) So it's fine when you need my help with a case, but when it's the other way around and I come to you, I get shut down? You need to decide how you see me, Tom. Am I the little girl you want to protect, or am I the woman who helps you solve crimes? You can't have it both ways. (TENSE MUSIC) (SIREN CHIRPS) - I'm gonna head home, grab a shower. And I was thinking, on the way, I'd stop at Council, talk to Cassie. - Sure. Asante. I've worked my share of serials but never a copycat until Mark Waterman. Would you say he was fairly typical? - Typical? (SIGHS) No. Waterman was a special case. I'd chalk it up to him having an up-close and personal relationship with Roven, saw him work first-hand. But he was more dedicated to Roven's MO and signature than any copycat I've ever seen. I mean, their kills were almost identical. Why do you ask? - Uh, just curious. - Hm. - I'm keeping you. (INTRIGUING MUSIC) - Wait a minute. You're sure Roven can't hear us? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah, we're good. I can feel when he's here and when he isn't, and right now he isn't, so... - It's good to know the universe has your back a bit in all this. - Yeah. Where do we start? - Mm. Let's talk about Roven. You know, a guy like that, he needs to feel that he's in control, that he's the smartest person in the room. You have to go in there and rock his confidence. You have to make him give you the information you need. - I've already tried asking him. - You were feeding his ego instead of attacking it. It's not that psychopaths have no feelings. They just have no empathy for anyone but themselves. Now, you can get to Roven. It just has to be about his needs. Not yours and not Millie's. Challenge him. Push him. Make Roven prove he's smarter and better than you by giving you what you want. - You want me to... piss him off? - In a nutshell, yeah. Look, it's a dangerous move, and I won't lie and say that I know exactly how Roven's gonna react, because I don't. But, based on his profile, it's the one that will best get a reaction. - Right. OK. I can do that. - So, what do you got in your arsenal? - I think he cares about Millie. When he realised I'd seen her, he seemed jealous. - Great. Use that. Lift that rock, and you'll see all the squirmy bugs that run through his brain. Uh, there's something else. It's something I wouldn't mention otherwise. You look like Millie. I don't think he's hanging around you just because you can see and hear him. - Gross. Anything else? - Well, there's this quote... by Friedrich Nietzsche. We used to say it at the Bureau. 'If you gaze long into an abyss, 'the abyss also gazes into you.' Ed Roven is the abyss. - I'll be careful. I promise. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - Hey. Thank you. - Any time. (MUSIC CONTINUES) - Here goes nothing. - # Peter Rabbit and Little Boy Blue # hidden in the brush with Mr Magoo. # Along came McDonald with his trusty gun, # and he goes, 'Everybody run.' # Peter Rabbit. # Peter Rabbit. # Peter Rabbit. # He'll be hoppin' along. # Peter Rabbit and` # (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Hey. We need to talk. We need to talk. - You're playing with fire, girl. Careful you don't burn your fingers. - Did you hear about your buddy Frank? He's telling the cops everything. Says he killed more women than Ted Bundy. Says they'll be finding bodies for years. - Not Millie, though. - No, because she was too special to go into that pit behind Frank's house. You didn't want that for her. You're sweet on her. You think that loving Millie made you human, made you normal. But that's just a fake-out. A con. You're no better than Frank. You couldn't control yourself. You're pathetic. - Careful now. - Do I remind you of her, Eddie? Is that why you started coming around? Because I look like the girl you lost? - You ought to stop. - Is it the eyes... or the hair? - I mean it. - Hm? You didn't lose Millie, Ed. You killed her. And you enjoyed it. Just like you'd kill me... if you could. You're thinking about it. Ah. Look at you. Just dying to wrap those hands around my throat and squeeze. But you can't hurt me. - Can't I? (BREATHES SHAKILY) I'll show you. I'll show you what I did to her. I'll show you everything. - Do it, then. Come on, you coward! - (ROARS) (TENSE MUSIC) (RAIN PATTERS) Pretty, ain't she? The way she looked at me... with those emerald eyes of hers... - She didn't know you were a killer. - Not yet I wasn't. Never killed anything didn't have four legs and a brain the size of a plum. When I was with Millie... I didn't think about that. - And when you were with Frank? - Well, now... that was a different story. That's the summer I fell in love with Millie and the summer I discovered who I was. - (CHOKES, GASPS) Help... Help me. - ('PETER RABBIT' PLAYS) - Aw, Cottontail. Did you think I was coming to save you? Remember, now, you said the next one's mine. - Frank showed me a whole new world. And it was as dark as Millie's was light. I could have gone on like that forever, spending my days with Millie, my nights with Frank. (OMINOUS MUSIC) I had everything I wanted. It was Frank who said I had to choose. When I couldn't, I guess he chose for me. - WOMAN SCREAMS: No! Help me! (SOBS) Help me! Help me! - (SCREAMS) No! Stop! Please, no! Stop, please! - Millie swore she wouldn't tell. She just wanted to live. In that moment, she'd promise me anything. But I knew she was lying. (TENSE MUSIC) - (SOBS) - I couldn't stand her staring at me like that, begging, pleading. Those pretty eyes of hers were almost enough to sweet-talk me out of it. Almost. - You didn't take out her eyes? - No, ma'am. But I never gave another girl a chance to change my mind. - (SOBS) - You're never gonna find Millie. Never. - (GASPS) - You OK there, Cottontail? - WEAKLY: Get away from me. - (CHUCKLES) - Get away! (SOBS) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) (SOLEMN MUSIC) - HACKETT: Hey. You all right? - Never better. I think I know where Millie is. Roven wanted to remember her when she was happy. He told me it was a lovely spot. It's where they met. (POLICE RADIO CHATTER, DOG BARKS) (TENSE MUSIC) - It looks like it's gonna be a long day. The ground's frozen in places, and after 30 years of soil displacement, moisture, decomposition... - Don't get my hopes up. I've got it. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (INDISTINCT CHATTER, DOG BARKS) - I just, uh... wanted to check in on you. - Thanks. You weren't kidding about the abyss. What those women went through... I know it wasn't happening in the moment and there's nothing I could do to save them. I just wanted to look away, shut my eyes. But Millie, she came to me, and she asked for my help, so... I forced myself to watch... when he killed her. She was just so scared. And even though she couldn't see me, I guess I was hoping that the universe would... somehow find a way to connect us so that... in that moment... she'd know she wasn't alone. It sounds crazy. - It doesn't. You did a great thing. - GPR's hit on something about 30 feet from the gazebo, down by the trees. But it's getting dark; we're gonna have to come back in the morning. - I guess Millie's waited this long, so... (TENSE MUSIC) - I'll see what we can do. (MUSIC CONTINUES) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) - I got something! (MUSIC RISES) (POLICE RADIO CHATTER) - We came as soon as we got your call. - Is she here? D-Did you find her? - She's here. (SOMBRE MUSIC) - It's hers. - (SOBS) - That's Millie's. (SOBS) - Do you know who did this? - We believe the man was executed many years ago. - We can talk about it when you're ready. - Thank you... for bringing our little girl home. - This way, please.

This is a surprise. - I hear you're pleading insanity. - The big defence lawyers were lining up to work for me pro bono. It's a headline-grabbing case, they say. Apparently I have PTSD from witnessing Ed Roven kill my mother. - And that drove you to kill? - Allegedly. - Did you ever see Ed Roven after that night? Did you ever hear his voice? - At the trial. - What about after he was executed? - That's an odd question. How would I be able to see and hear a dead man? - I've heard of things like that. The way you murdered Shannon Bell, it was very similar to Ed Roven's work. Beyond copycat, really. It's almost like he's whispering in your ear, telling you what to do. (OMINOUS MUSIC) - That's crazy. (EXHALES HEAVILY) Are we done? - Yeah, we're done. I'll see you at court. I'll be testifying for the prosecution. (LOCK BUZZES, DOOR OPENS) - Come on.
