Blowback Page #4

See you next week.

Bye-bye.

- Henry dang.

- Yes.

I remember you.

You were the one who

always scowled at me.

- I never saw you

before in my life.

- ( Chuckles )

Do you think you can

teach me that throw?

( Chuckles )

look, we're closed.

Why don't you make

an appointment?

( Laughs ) come on,

you're pretty good at

throwing girls around.

- How about a man?

- Don't do that.

Come on, Henry.

Show me what you got.

( Yells )

You asked for that!

( Groans )

that was pretty good.

Ow.

( Chuckling )

you think you could

show me that again?

( Yells )

( Grunting )

I lost someone real

close to me today.

I need to let off

a little steam.

( Screams )

( Grunting )

Come on.

- ( Bone cracks )

- ( screams )

( Whimpering )

Oh, god.

God, no.

God, no.

- Do you believe in god?

- Yes.

Tell him I said hello.

( Gurgles )

- ( Answering machine beeps )

- you have two calls.

First call, 10:
30 am.

Charlotte:

what a night we had.

I'm having trouble

concentrating on work.

We need to talk about it.

Maybe this time we

can make it work?

Call me.

Answering machine:

Second call, 5:
43 pm.

( Sandra weeping )

hello?

Please...

I'm very angry with you.

You stopped me

from doing

the lord's calling,

and you will be punished

for that.

( Sobbing )

as will all the others.

His will be done.

Don:

i got a call from

Sandra carlow yesterday.

Around the time

she was killed.

I don't understand.

Did she know you?

No. I got a feeling her

murderer did, though.

Well, you were all over

the front pages when you

caught Whitman.

If the copycat is

after the jurors,

sooner or later he's

going to go after the

arresting detective.

- "Your time will come."

- What?

"Your time will come,"

Noah's last words, remember?

And then he said

something about...

What was it?

Oh, "this time you

won't catch him."

( Phone rings )

Ricci?

Yes, sir. We are.

Oh.

Okay, sir.

Yes, sir.

We'll be right there.

( Beeps )

You were right.

It wasn't Noah.

They just found another

Whitman juror, Henry dang.

He had his eyes,

lips and tongue cut out.

St. leger.

They found

a biblical quote.

Revelations 14:
3.

Do you know it?

"I am...

I am he that liveth

and was dead.

And behold,

I am alive forevermore

and have the keys to

hell and death."

This psychopath is trying

to tell us something.

He's resurrecting

Whitman's crimes?

- Turn the car around.

- But the crime scene's

this way.

Yeah, we're not going

to go to the crime scene.

Turn around.

- Where are we going?

- We're going to go to

the hall of records.

Okay.

Did you find anything?

No, are you sure

the jury list is supposed

to be in here?

- Should be in there.

- Well, it's not.

He must have stolen it.

Excuse me, miss?

I need a printout

of the jury list

and anyone affiliated

with the case including

attorneys, lawyers.

I need addresses,

phone numbers, place

of business, please.

Fax it to this number.

It's very important.

Thank you very much.

This is from the original

Whitman case,

this is from acker's body.

Is it a forgery?

I had a specialist

look at it.

He said if it's a forgery,

it's the best he's ever seen.

Check this out.

Sandra:

you stopped me

from doing the

lord's calling,

and you will be punished

for that.

( Sobbing )

as will all the others.

His will be done.

All right, all right.

So what are we saying here?

Are we saying that--

that the murderer

is not a copycat?

That he is

John Matthew Whitman?

These are the best

forgeries I've ever seen.

Hell, maybe that's why

it took so long

for this guy

to get started.

He was perfecting

his hand.

And this call, well,

the sick f*** knows

who you are, Don.

That's all.

We can use that to draw

this copycat out.

I don't know why,

but...

I think this is more

than a copycat.

I know what you're

going to think, but I want

to exhume Whitman's body.

I want to see it.

I want to see it with

my own eyes.

I want to know.

As soon as I knew

the Whitman connection,

I should have transferred

you off this case.

But I can

correct my mistake.

I'm putting you back

on desk duty.

Ricci will be

transferred.

- She'll be reassigned to

wisher and Miller.

- No, no.

- They'll carry on--

- you need me on this case.

You need me on it.

Don,

i can't do it.

Your career,

your mental health

is at risk.

I want you to go home.

Don't worry about this.

We'll get the

son of a b*tch.

It'll all be over

and done with.

It was supposed

to be over and done

with a year ago.

A year ago.

- I thought you're supposed

to be watching him.

- I was.

Then why didn't you come

to me sooner and tell me

that he's cracking up?

Because he wasn't, sir.

( Sighs )

I'll keep you updated

about the case, sir.

You won't miss a thing.

Let me give you a ride home,

inspector morrell.

Inspector morrell?

Don!

Ricci:

I'm a pretty good

detective, you know.

I know you've been

married before.

Now how do you know

i haven't been a bachelor

all my life?

I read your personal file.

All right, but deductive

logic is only going

to get you so far.

You got any good

corroborating evidence

to support your theory?

Yeah, but it's

only anecdotal.

Okay, go ahead

and drop it.

We're all

friends here.

Well, I know how hard it

is to do this job right

and still have

a personal life.

Now you sound like

a smart lady speaking

from experience.

Thank you.

The only thing

i don't understand is

why you decided to become

a cop instead of a priest.

Hmm.

- Sorry.

- no, that's okay.

When I was a kid,

i saw a lot of good

people getting--

getting hurt.

And I thought maybe by being

a cop I could sort of

take up arms against

the sea of trouble,

so to speak.

What about you?

I like to knock

down doors.

( Both chuckle )

What?

All these

Whitman jurors, right?

This guy's going

after them one by one.

He's trying

to copycat Whitman.

He'd be as methodical

and as obsessive-compulsive

as Whitman was,

- wouldn't he?

- What do you mean?

I mean Whitman used to

kill his victims

in alphabetical order.

So then next on the

list would be greer.

Denise greer.

I'm going to stake her out.

You can't.

You're off the case.

Listen, I'll get ahold

of Miller and wisher,

- and we'll get

on it right away.

- You don't understand.

Those guys,

they're by the book.

It would take you all day to

convince them of your theory,

and even if you do,

all night to set up

surveillance.

This guy's killing, what,

a victim a day? Right?

So someone's going

to die right about now.

We got her address,

we got her phone number,

we got her place of work.

I'm going to do this.

Hey! you can't do

this without me!

Come on!

- Okay, thank you very much.

- ( Phone beeps )

Her boss says she's off

today and tomorrow.

Want me to try

her machine again?

No, she would

have answered by now.

Maybe she's out

with friends.

Or making love

to her boyfriend.

Yeah, or laying in a pool

of her own blood.

Wait, wait!
