"I got your message." "Don't move." "I'm on my way." "Subtitles by josmndsn" "Profiler 1x03 Unholy Alliance Aired:" "October 19, 1996" "Higgins, how about a cookie, huh?" "Chloe, honey, it's time to go to bed." "Here you go, baby." "Here, have a cookie." "Good boy." "Hello." "Sam?" "Are you awake?" "What?" "Get dressed." "Wait ..." "John?" "Caffeinate that brain." "You gotta get down to Richmond County." "We got a dead body." "You're gonna love this." "Oh, I didn't wake Chloe." "What's your roommate's name?" "My living arrangements really fascinate you, don't they?" "Her name is Angel." "Denzel?" "Thought her name was Angel." "John, why are you calling me at 3:00 in the morning?" "We got a male victim ... caucasian, mid-20s." "Stabbed once." "Go ahead." "I'm listening" "His body's been positioned." "He's kneeling, palms up." "His hair's been cut off, and some of his teeth have been pulled out." "Locals asked for our assistance." "You still there?" "Yeah." "Um ... where's Bailey?" "That's a good question." "He's in a hell of a mood, I'll tell you that." "He told me and Grace to come on out here and call you as soon as we got to the body." "I think he said he's sending you the chopper." "Yeah," "I think my ride's here." "Um, all right, look, John, keep your eye on the crowd around the crime scene." "The killer might be watching." "They're practically selling tickets." "See you soon." "You know, you gotta do that guard dog thing even in my nightmares, ok?" "Woof." "Excuse us, please." "Excuse us." "Grace puts time of death at less than 4 hours ago." "This guy's not even into rigor yet." "No I.D., no weapons, no witnesses." "These skates here are worth over a couple of hundred bucks." "He's got at least 30 cash in his pockets." "Definitely wasn't a robbery." "Anything else off the body?" "Well, a couple of strands of blond hairs." "They're not his." "I mean, they could have been transferred from the killer." "He's also got abrasions on his arms and his palms." "He could have been dragged, he could have fallen, there could have been a struggle." "I smell margaritas." "You?" "Well, it's tequila." "His shirt is soaked." "I'm gonna run toxicology." "Granola trail mix and tequila?" "Did we find the hair and the teeth?" "Yeah." "They were in the trash." "They're bagged up." "Lieutenant." "In a bag in the trash?" "That's right." "These guys think they got Jack the Ripper on their hands." "Well, maybe they do." "I've never seen anything like this." "Have you?" "So he doesn't take his money." "He doesn't even take his souvenirs." "He just places the body, offers a drink ..." "Grace, is there any way you can lift a print off of his eyelid?" "Well, lifting prints off of the body is very difficult." "Why?" "Well, the killer may have closed his eyes." "It may be a part of his ritual." "Well, I could ask them if they have a tent rig, and I'm sure they could check it out." "I want you to do it, Grace." "Well, I can't." "I mean, it's their body, it's their jurisdiction." "Not anymore." "We're taking it back to Atlanta." "We've already got clearance." "You'll do the autopsy with their M.E.s Oh, they're just gonna love that." "Just do what I say." "Please." "I think I'll, uh, start work on that I.D." "Positioning of the body -- how unusual is that?" "Hey." "It's unusual." "What do you think?" "Well, I definitely think that he's killed before." "So do I." "You know, I'm just not hitting anything on VICAP." "Well, keep looking." "He took time with the body." "It's too familiar for this to be his first kill." "It's almost as if he's being respectful." "Oh, I don't know about that." "His choice of tequila?" "Total rotgut." "Ah." "You know what?" "Try unsolved females that fit the M.O., too." "All right." "What else?" "Well, he was very controlled." "I mean, there was no rage, no passion." "It's like he stabbed him to kill him so that he could focus on the ritual, but what I don't understand is why he didn't take his trophies -- the teeth and the hair." "Do you think about this stuff all day, all night?" "No, I usually obsess about chocolate." "Can I please have that?" "We've got an I.D. on the victim." "Max Turner, 27." "Social worker." "Address, Richmond County." "What about next of kin?" "Parents have been notified." "He's got a sister." "Well, we need to figure out why he chose Max Turner, so I would like to speak to the family ..." "I've already set that up." "Great." "I don't understand why you need to look at Max's place." "I need to learn everything I can about your brother." "We're trying to find some kind of connection to his murder." "Oh, so now we're just supposed to cooperate with you when no one has told us anything, is that it?" "I'll tell you whatever I can." "Yeah, I want to know why my brother's dead." "Can you tell me that?" "We don't know where he is ... ok?" "We can't even plan his funeral." "Your brother is in Atlanta." "They'll probably release his body tomorrow." "You have no idea who did this to him, do you?" "No, not yet." "Come in." "Thank you." "Well, as you can see, my brother was a slob." "He liked to read?" "Oh, yeah." "Books on music, sports -- he loved basketball." "It's why he bought this teddy's chair -- his throne he called it to watch the games from here." "He was taking Spanish classes." "He wanted to go to Spain next summer." "Was your brother a drinker?" "No, no." "Max never drank." "God, he must have 10 pairs of these things laying around." "Did he always wear kneepads?" "Always." "They were always purple." "Tell me about your brother." "What was he like?" "Um ... he was the best, you know?" "He was -- he was really funny ... and really goofy, you know?" "He was the kind of guy that" "I could always tell him anything, ... and he would never judge me, never tease me, he'd never make fun of me." "I remember this one time ... um, when I was 7, and Max would have been 9." "And, um, I got it in my head that I was gonna be the next Chris Everett, right?" "So Max spent the entire summer ... on the tennis court trying to teach me that stupid backhand, you know?" "I never learned it." "Um, that's Jennifer." "Max told me a couple of weeks ago, um   he was gonna give her a ring this Christmas, surprise her." "Do you think I should tell her that?" "Well, I would want to know." "I don't know what I'm supposed to do now." "You just have to make it through every day." "Well, I don't think I can." "I know ..." "but you will." "Light." "Sam is unbelievable." "I need to see the base of the head." "Why?" "Does Sam have another hunch?" "This one's all mine." "What is that?" "A close enough match to these." "Hey." "I talked to Turner's sister." "Anything interesting?" "Yeah, the killer stole his kneepads." "Kneepads." "Why not?" "You want to tell me what's going on with you?" "I found these ink markings on Turner, base of the head." "They match these   case I worked on ten years ago." "Her body was laid out the same way?" "Yeah." "So you think he's killing again." "How do you kill someone when you're locked up in prison?" "It was '86, Laughton, Oklahoma." "There were four murders -- two male, two female -- all killed differently, but positioned the same way." "Victims 2 and 3 had similar markings on the base of the head." "What about 1 and 4?" "We missed them." "Went back, exhumed the first body, found traces of ink." "Never found anything on the fourth victim." "There was so much blood." "Well, over how long a period were the murders committed?" "Two months." "Hair and fiber off the fourth victim matched Army Private Gary Gunn." "That sounds odd." "I thought so, too ..." "at least for that one." "The first 3, I always had my doubts." "Evidence just wasn't there, but I was overruled." "I should have trusted my instincts." "Then, until last night, the murders stopped?" "Yeah." "Where's Gunn now?" "Fort Leavenworth." "I've been going over Gunn's records." "Looks like he spends all his time in the library working on appeals or hard labor working on attitude." "This guy gets into a fight every other day." "I'm still working that fingerprint." "I have no match yet." "You know, this could a copycat." "Either that or   Gunn's working with somebody on the outside." "Ok, I'll say it." "Or, I put an innocent man in prison." "We'll know soon enough." "From your lips to god's mainframe." "So listen, Grace is about to do post." "Anybody want to come along?" "I'll pass." "Why these victims?" "Men, women, different ages." "The first strangled while he was hunting, second drowned, third beaten to death, fourth stabbed coming home from work." "Yes, and she was stabbed repeatedly, which makes it personal." "Her name was Lisa Wilson, Gunn's Ex-girlfriend." "The other three bodies are positioned perfectly, but Lisa's right palm is facing downward." "This breaks with the killer's ritual." "What are these lines here?" "Looks like the I Ching." "What the hell's an 'I Ching'?" "Well, it's an ancient chinese philosophy." "It's about 3,000 years old." "I mean," "I don't really know that much about but there's a book" "The Book of Changes." "It's originally a Book of Oracles." "It's considered to be one of the five classics of Confucianism." "Uh-huh." "I'm a very spiritual guy." "Well, maybe in his own way, the killer is, too." "So we're looking for a guy who's into eastern religion." "Well, not necessarily." "George is into the I Ching, and he's Jewish." "I read my horoscope, and I'm Catholic." "I'll stick to scotch for my spiritual guidance." "Tell us what these lines mean." "Well, they give you guidance in troubled times." "It's all based on honor and ethics." "I just happen to have here-- take a look." "Here's how it works." "You ask a question, preferably something deep and meaningful from your life." "Um ..." "Will the Braves go to the series this year?" "Deep, George." "Now, you have three coins in your hand, right, which you throw six times, and depending on how they land, the combination of heads and tails determines on whether you mark down one of these broken or unbroken lines." "Now, you stack these six lines into a hexagram- ... and that's when you go to the Book of Changes and you look up the hexagram to find the answer?" "Right." "That's when I go to my scotch." "What about the Braves?" "Take a look." "Translation ... "A man strives onward in association with others whose backing encourages him."" "Yeah." "Go, Braves." "So we're looking for a killer who rationalizes murder with a 3,000-year-old chinese philosophy." "I wonder what Gunn knows about the I Ching." "Gunn, you got a visitor!" "Gunn up!" "Back to work!" "Well, I was hoping you were dead, Malone." "At least you're stepping up in the world." "I think this qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment." "Is that why you're here ... to drive me crazy?" "We're reopening your case, Gunn." "You might want to act like a human being." "Well, this place kind of takes it out of you." "Why now?" "I've been saying for ten years" "I didn't do it." "Know anyone in Richmond County?" "What the hell's in Richmond County?" "Dead body." "Just like Lisa." "I didn't kill Lisa." "She broke up with you, didn't she?" "She didn't break up with me." "I broke up with her." "Because the I Ching told you to?" "Who the hell is he?" "I broke up with her because I was sick of the bitch." "Are you gonna apologize, Malone?" "You took ten years of my life." "This is your life." "Reopening the case wouldn't change that at all." "Hey, Malone!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Don't come back here no more, Malone!" "I'll kill ya!" "I'll kill ya!" "Get back to work!" "What do Richmond County and Laughton, Oklahoma, have in common?" "They both have an army base." "Fort's sill in Oklahoma," "Fort Snow in Richmond County." "George, I'd like you to start checking for prints in the military." "You got it." "Right now, that's our only obvious connection." "So we're saying that Gunn's good on victim number 4, but out as a suspect on the first three, right?" "Yeah, I don't think this guy has a clue about the I Ching, and Lisa Wilson is the only crime scene that was out of control." "Now, Gunn has the control of a gnat." "I've been working on the autopsy protocols of the victims from Oklahoma." "Lisa Wilson was stabbed multiple times with a serrated-edged knife." "Now, what about Max Turner?" "Thick, smooth blade once right through the heart." "What about the ink?" "Plain old ballpoint." "George, can you cut it with that stuff?" "It's really starting to bug me." "You guys are workin', workin', workin', when all you have to do is ask the I Ching." "Oh, that's just great, George." "Ok... what's the address of the killer?" "And why the different M.O.s?" "I mean, we have strangulation, drowning ... this third victim, what was she beaten with?" "I'm pretty sure it was her own belt." "It was missing when we found the body, but the husband said she'd worn it to work that morning." "And what about the other victims?" "Did they have anything taken from them?" "Watch, purse ..." "look, let's hope the killer stays on the same cycle he was in Oklahoma - killing every two weeks -- give us some time." "Yeah, well, I wouldn't count on it." "Gimme those things." "Hey, this is interesting." "I asked the I Ching, "Will we find him?"" "Translation ..." ""A man wishes to make vigorous advance, but circumstances present an obstacle."" ""His hair is cut off and his teeth taken." "Oppression at the hands of the man with the purple knee bands." "It furthers one to make offerings and libations."" "It's number 47 k'un, which means oppression and exhaustion." "I Ching told him, kill the man in the purple kneepads, things would get better." "That's what his mind twisted it to mean, yeah." "What about the others?" "Well, their first victim was a hunter, and I found this passage number 3 which means" ""difficulty at the beginning." Listen to this." ""Whoever hunts deer without the forester only loses his way in the forest." It's in the reference to guidance." "We gotta go." "Second and third victims?" "It's 800 pages, Bailey." "I am not Evelyn Wood, but there is a theme happening throughout the translations." "It's like the beginning of a task, hard work ..." "it's almost as if he's trying to do a good job, and no one understands the pressure." "Sounds familiar." "You did your job ten years ago, Bailey, and you are doing it now." "And Max Turner's dead because I didn't do it good enough." "Guys." "Guys, come here." "I gotta show you something." "The good news is I do have an I.D. off the print from Turner's eyelid." "Bad news?" "Nothing." "We're the FBI." "We have to have it." "Oh, we have it." "That doesn't mean we see it." "Do they know that it's a multiple murder case?" "They know." "And what do they say?" ""An investigation is underway"." "You think it's the military?" "I don't know." "(sighs) Amazing." "I was gonna say "corrupt."" "Well, do you want to keep going?" "Don't you?" "Well, why not?" "I mean, it's not every day that we get to track down a government-protected serial killer." "I need to make a phone call, Sam." "Yeah." "Ok." "Yeah." "Ok." "Bailey, how many cases have you solved off a fingerprint?" "My entire career?" "Yeah." "Two." "We don't need it." "That's not the point." "Monte, number two." "Sancho Panza." "Contraband." "Call a cop." "But I called you instead." "It's complicated." "You've opened up a situation everyone thought was closed." "I've opened up?" "I'm not the one doing the killing..." "or the hiding." "You always want to make it so simple, don't you?" "It is simple." "National Security is not simple or pretty or easy." "It can be fun at times." "You know that, I know that." "So let's make it fun." "Tell me what you know." "Remember Noriega?" "That was a bit complicated." "That was nothing." "It's hard to understand because western thinking is so linear, and this is, like, you know, wide open." "What I don't understand is if this guy's in the military, everything is structured from morning to evening." "Yes, but within that structure -- constant change, even if you're not aware of it." "Ok, George, I Ching for Dummies, preferably in thirty seconds or less." "That's, um ... everything that happens is connected to everything else, and the only thing that will never change is that everything changes." "Okay, I got it." "Change is constant, except for that moment in time when you throw the I Ching, right?" "So wait three seconds and throw it again and the answer is just for that moment in time, because within those three seconds, the entire universe has changed." "Max Turner puts on purple kneepads... and decides to go to the grocery store   and walks into his Destiny." "If the killer is getting his instructions from the I Ching, it's going to be virtually impossible to predict what he's going to do." "I get the message." "I'm rocking the boat." "You know what?" "I don't care." "It's not a message, Bailey." "A warning?" "That's what I'm hearing." "I still don't care." "Look, try and see the big picture once in your life." "I can't" "Four dead bodies are blocking it." "What am I supposed to tell the families?" "Whatever you need so you can sleep at night." "Your job is worth this case?" "If it isn't, it's not worth anything." "I need a name." "Colonel Henry Deems, ok?" "Good luck." "What's going on?" "It's military business, sir." "Keep moving." "It's a homicide, sir." "Found the body in the the weeds over there." "So what do we got--male, female?" "Male." "So what do we got--male, female?" "Grace." "Oh, my god." "He must have smothered." "Do you see a hexagram?" "Yeah, right here." "It's funny how we keep coming back to the military." "What were you doing here, Bailey?" "You just happened to be driving by?" "Nothing just happens, right?" "It's been a long time." "Ten years." "Agent Waters, Colonel Deems." "Nice to meet you." "You here about that mess out front?" "Yeah." "That mess out front." "Can we have access to the base?" "We need to talk to a few people." "Whatever you need." "Please." "I've seen you in action, Malone." "You'll get this guy." "That's the Nightstar-- the most advanced weapons guidance system in the world." "You believe in coincidences." "Ten years ago," "I'm in Oklahoma investigating a string of murders." "Colonel Deems is stationed at Fort Sill." "A decade later, he's stationed at Fort Snow, and, lo and behold, we find two new murders." "What are you implying?" "It's kind of strange how dead bodies keep following you around." "What do you know about this?" "I know what you know." "Oh, really?" "Just like in Oklahoma." "Gunn got what he deserved." "For Lisa Wilson, but not for the other victims, and he sure as hell didn't kill the victim in your front yard ... or Max Turner." "Who's Max Turner?" "He was 27 years old." "He had parents and a sister." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Take a look at him." "He was gonna get married next year, go to Spain." "I have to get back to my responsibilities." "You'll pardon me... if I don't see you out." "Thanks." ""It was k'un again and went about oppression." "He is oppressed by creeping vines." ""He moves uncertainly and says, movement brings remorse." And a slow death." "His name was Keith Hines." "He was a carpenter." "Cause of death-- suffocation." "You check for prints?" "Yeah." "Nothing." "You owe me a buck 50." "Mm-mmm." "I drove." "Huh?" "I thought you were going to cut down on your drinking." "There's ice in the glass." "Sam was telling me about the Colonel." "What a jerk, huh?" "No, he's just confident-- confident in his ability to manipulate other people." "In fact, the only time he showed any emotion at all was when he couldn't look at Max Turner's picture." ""He's oppressed by bonds that can easily be broken." "The distress is drawing to an end."" "You think it has something to do with the nightstar?" "The new weapons system?" "Congress has threatened to pull the plug." "And kill the project?" "Well, it is an election year." "They gotta bark about something, don't they?" "We're fighting violent crimes, and they're creating the most violent weapons on the face of the earth." "Is there any way we could get ahold of Deems' fingerprints?" "No." "They're classified." "Not anymore." "We have them on this." "Grace, run those for us, please." "You think Deems is the killer?" "It's a perfect match." "Let's get a warrant started." "You bet." "I don't think it's Deems." "His prints are all over the murder victim." "What else do you need?" "I don't know." "What else do we know about Deems?" "I'll bring up his bio." "Look, I've been told my job's on the line if I pursue this." "Personally, I don't care." "But I don't want to put any of you at risk, so if you want to bow out, I'll understand." "I'll take the heat." "I can always go back to being a cop." "It's you feds who have to follow the rules." "You don't know me very well." "George?" "Grace?" "I'm in." "I'm just starting to have fun." "I have to call Ann Turner tomorrow night and let her know that her brother is coming home, so ..." "let's get to work." "Colonel Henry Deems..." "head of weapons operations." "West Point, class of '66." "Served in" "Vietnam, Gulf war." "He's got more medals than Patton." "You ever give him a look?" "Yeah, we gave him a look." "Didn't fit." "He was working day and night on the new weapons system, flying back and forth to Washington every other day for briefings." "Can we find out the name of the weapons system?" "Found out when the Gulf war broke." "It was the Windstorm Cruise Missile." "You think this has something to do with Nightstar?" "Long-range subsonic cruise missile used for surface-to-surface warfare with conventional or nuclear warheads." "That's the mind that we're looking for." "George, who created it?" "Um, it's got the name of the contractor." "Looks like a team." "Let me see if any of them worked on both systems." "That's the mind that" "Deems is protecting." "Deems is not the killer." "He's the keeper." "Well, how do you explain the fingerprints, then?" "Well, they have a relationship based on need." "It's a strong connection-- one that's hard to break." "Deems may have been forced into the ritual." "I mean, he may have even tried to stop it at one point." "It all makes sense in a 'George' sort of way." "Compare me to a killer." "I don't mind." "No, it's just-- the killer has to have a mind that is structured and open-- a scientist, a physicist-- I mean, the basic laws of physics say that the world is constantly changing." "I mean, it's the same with the I Ching." "Nightstar's run Nightstar's run on computers." "Ok, four people worked on both the windstorm and Nightstar." "Is that blond hair I see?" "Peter Leshansky ... computer engineer," "Ph.D. in physics." "In '86," "Deems presented a medal to Leshansky for, quote, "Lives saved as a result of his design for the windstorm missile guidance system."" "Look at the medallion he's wearing." "George, can you enlarge this?" "Uh-huh." "This is the killer." "No address." "All personal info classified." "We use Deems to find him." "Surveillance?" "Fort Snow is a maze of tunnels and secrecy." "If he wants to lose us, I don't know how we find him." "Through the front gate." "Deems would never expect that." "We'll need to nudge him a little bit, Bailey." "Do you think that you could get another meeting with him?" "What is it, Malone?" "Just wanted to let you know where we are in the investigation." "Peter Leshansky." "What?" "I just need to know why." "Malone" "A man lives his whole life in service to his country." "Where'd it go wrong?" "Get the hell out of here." "Don't you even care?" "You're a cop in a suit, bulldogging one murder case." "I have to consider things you never even thought of!" "And live with yourself." "That's what I don't understand." "One man is not going to change what needs to be done." "We finally agree on something." "I just left Deems' office." "Were you your sweet, charming self?" "I nudged him a little." "We found out that Gunn was Deems' driver at Fort Sill." "Right." "Bailey, if Leshansky is feeling oppressed, Deems may be in danger." "He's moving." "Deems just pulled out." "We're on him." "Bailey, be careful." "I have a question." "Will Leshansky turn against Deems?" "We got a problem." ""One must go through the water, it goes over one's head." "Misfortune." "No blame."" ""Applied to politics, this means if in times of uncertainty, we give up alliance with those below us and keep up only the relationships we have with people of higher rank, ... "" "..."an unstable situation is created."" ""The unusual has reached its climax, and to finish one's task, the water must rise over one's head."" "This must end!" "He's gonna drown him." "Leshansky, move over!" "Don't move!" "John!" "I got him!" "I got him!" "Turn around!" "Turn around!" "Synchronicity takes the coincidence of events in space and time" "Gimme your arm!" "You all right!" "Cuff him!" "Get him to the medics." "Get him outta here!" "Which only interferes with my" "And every advance is" "What a freak." "That surprises you?" "Think this is what his mind looked like?" "Sam, we got Leshansky and Deems." "You wouldn't believe this place." "It's probably a mess." "You tell me." "Are there pieces of paper with equations and hexagrams all over the place?" "Pretty weird." "You should see the walls." "He was too busy on the Nightstar to clean up." "He was probably using the walls to make sense of what was going on in his mind." "Going insane isn't easy." "Let's go!" "I had some sweet dreams about you." "Jeez, I haven't had any visitors in two years and I get two in one week." "Thought you might like to know, the first three murder counts have been dropped." "So what?" "Instead of four life sentences, I got one." "Thought it might give you some peace of mind." "I'm telling ya," "I was framed." "On Lisa!" "On all of 'em!" "You're a -- you're a bastard, Malone, do you get it?" "I love you, too." "Don't ever change." "There's that word again." "Bailey, how did you find out about Deems?" "I have a friend ... helps me out from time to time." "Ah." "The private phone call." "Spoke with him this morning." "Deems worked alone, believed in what he was doing, used his influence and connections to deceive everyone." "You believe that?" "I have to believe it." "You know what's really sweet?" "What?" "Deems is gonna end up right here at Leavenworth." "Gunn may be his next- door neighbor." "Well, maybe there's order in the universe after all." "How do I find Jack?" ""Six in the beginning means once it's oppressed and strays into a gloomy valley."" "under a bare tree" ""For 3 years, one sees nothing."" "THE END" "Subtitles by josmndsn"
