Wow. Have you heard?
Yeah, it's, um...
Seems like all I have to do is leave.
...and the case gets solved.
Well, we had more than a little luck...
...both good and bad.
I wish to hell you'd have been here.
...through the whole thing, Kate.
What a mess.
So what can I do for you?
Samuel hershberger?
Nate, I don't think he
could have done this.
Why would you say that?
Because I knew him.
And he was so devout. There's no way...
Kate, how devout can a man be.
...that rapes and bleeds 12 young women?
But he didn't do it, not any of it.
That's my point.
Well, why would he hang himself?
He didn't. Someone else must have.
Kate, Kate.
Don't do this to yourself.
Okay?
You're a better cop than this.
And you got some history here.
Maybe that's why you missed it.
- Nate.
- No, listen.
Listen, it's...
It's hard to accept when
it's one of your own.
I understand that.
I mean, I've got a soft
spot for your people too.
Ever since I was a kid...
...every time I would see one of them...
I couldn't help but
think, "you know what?
That just might be
the way to live life. "
They're good people, Kate.
- That's right. You
grew up in the area.
- I sure did. I was
born and raised here.
- And then you went and
spent all that time in Alaska.
...and, um... And shot a bear.
- You need to think about
this a little bit, okay?
Just clear your head. Let it go.
Go find yourself in Alaska.
...and shoot a bear or two.
- Yeah.
You know what?
of a recommendation letter.
- I appreciate that.
- Yeah.
No problem. Listen.
I wish you the best of luck, okay?
Yeah, I wish you luck too.
I got to go clear my car out, so...
Hey.
No hurry.
- Mona, forget Georgia.
Bring up Alaska.
What? Why?
- Let me see every
murder by exsanguination.
...in the last 20 years.
- No, we checked that,
Kate, Nichols and me.
There aren't any.
- Just get me an officer
...on the phone.
Patch him through to my cell.
- Okay. Okay.
Kate, Kate.
There's something I need to talk to...
- Nichols, give me a sec. One sec.
- Kate, I have Alaska.
- Thanks.
Mona, I hear him fine.
Lieutenant, this is Kate burkholder...
...chief of police in painters mill, Ohio.
I'm working a homicide,
murder by exsanguination.
We checked the lists on vcap...
...and there are no entries for Alaska.
- Murder by what's that?
- Exsanguination.
And what is that?
Bled to death.
Oh.
We don't use that term up here.
What do you use?
Bleeding out.
- Well, then none of our searches.
would have come up with anything.
Well, have you had any cases?
Could be as far back as the '90s.
- Bled-out homicides? We've had a few.
- Well, tell me, have any of them had.
...any sort of carved
figure on the abdomen?
Oh, I can check.
You know what?
I think I remember a case like that.
Vic had kind of an "x" cut into her.
- A young woman?
- Yeah, far as I remember.
- That's not an "x. " It's a 10.
It's a Roman numeral.
Chief?
Burkholder?
What happened to my line?
- Yes, sir. I'm trying
to get her back, sir.
Mona, have you seen Kate?
She was on a call, but...
Yes, sir, I'll get chief burkholder.
...for you right away.
Who is that?
- It's a police lieutenant from Alaska.
- Alaska?
- No, sorry, sir.
Her line is still busy.
- You know what? I'll take that.
Yeah, hi. This is John tomasetti, bci.
What's this in reference to?
What year was that?
Well, was the case ever...
...it wasn't closed?
Yeah.
Alaska.
Where's detrick?
I don't know.
- Has anyone seen detrick or Kate?
What's going on?
- I think you were set up.
- What?
How do you know? By who?
- Had to be detrick.
Kate figured it out.
Now I can't find either one of them.
She was just outside.
Hey, hey, hey!
Can we get a statement?
- Gone. Okay.
Put out an apb on Kate's car.
- Okay.
- And find me where detrick lives.
You got it.
I know you're awake, Kate.
secrets between us now.
Good job, by the way.
Where are we?
Home.
Kate?
Kate!
Kate?
So this is where you grew up?
Yup.
Cozy, isn't it?
Something happen to you here?
Plenty happened here.
And I screamed and screamed,
but nobody ever came.
You think that's why I kill people?
- I don't know why you kill people.
Well...
I'll tell you that.
Mm.
Damn it.
Nichols?
Yeah.
Does detrick own anything else?
Apartment, farmland, anything.
Wasn't T.J... Working on a
list of abandoned properties?
Yeah... Mona, abandoned properties.
I need that list now.
T.J.
- Right here.
Still printing.
- Uh, looks like 35 new ones here.
Oh, man.
What's wrong?
- We got, like, 35 properties here.
She's still printing.
We're gonna have to get as many people.
...look for them as possible.
And...
Hold on.
Where's skid?
- Hey, skid.
- Yeah?
Yeah, he's here.
Didn't you tell me detrick grew up here?
- Yup.
- Where?
Nothing... Nothing
here owned by detrick.
Yeah, he was raised by his grandparents.
- Mother's or father's side?
- Mother's.
- Where... what's their name?
- They're dead now.
That whole property's
been abandoned for years.
Tomasetti.
One more thing:
Is there a town alarm?
There's the firehall siren...
...just that and the church bells.
- Call them all. Get everyone on it.
- Amish too?
- Of course. Everybody.
- 'Cause they have bells.
- Well, great. Get 'em ringing.
Why the Roman numerals?
Why not?
- You left Ohio in '95. Why was that?
I had a close call.
Figured it was just a matter of time.
...before I got caught.
So why Alaska?
Wanted a little more space to work.
Right, your work.
Girls six through ten, right?
Why'd you come back?
Look who's full of questions.
Stalling for time?
Huh?
Who knows why I came back?
You know, that's the
mistake you people make...
...trying to put some sort
of shape on all of this...
...trying to make sense out of it...
...trying to find a meaning.
You know...
What about just some
girl in a green dress.
...or a girl in a pair of jeans.
street and comes into view?
It's random...
100%.
Sometimes...
You just got to roll the dice.
It doesn't have to make sense.
Any last questions, chief?
You don't have to do this, Nate.
You're gonna get caught.
You don't think they'd
figure this out by now?
That's half the fun.
Wait till they see what I leave for 'em.
What the hell is that?
Kate!
They're coming for you, Nate.
Kate!
Kate?
Kate?
- John!
- Kate.
He's got a gun.
Kate!
He's going out the back.
- Kate!
- Are you hit?
I think maybe, yeah.
Oh.
- John, no. No, not now. Come here.
- Come here, John.
Come help me.
Untie me. Okay.
We're not gonna die in here.
- No.
- No.
- Get me the hell out of here, John.
- I was gonna say the same thing.
Somewhere around here.
I'm gonna take a look down here.
You're surrounded, Nate.
