I Am Not a Serial Killer

- Well, I've never seen

anything like that.

- Yeah.

- Something tore him up.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

-What's your prognosis, John?

-Well, he's dead for sure.

-Somebody's been

killed downtown

they said it was Jeb jolly.

-The mechanic?

-'Hmm.'

- that's terrible.

-I mean, you guys are

the ones that are worried

about going out of business.

That's two bodies in a week,

that's money in the bank.

-Don't even joke

like that, John.

You okay here?

-Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

-It stinks really bad.

- She.

-She stinks really bad.

-She does smell for a woman.

Wish someone

had found her sooner.

Leg.

Turn your head.

Oh, Ron's getting lazier.

He didn't even clean her.

He just declared natural causes

and shipped her over.

Other leg.

Aneurysm hooks.

How's school?

- I mean, you know,

aunt Margaret it's

it's the first week,

nothing much really happens.

-Make any new friends?

- It's funny, actually.

All those kids

that I've gone to school with

since kindergarten..

...they all left,

so...They're all new kids

and they all wanted

to be friends with me.

And it was pretty sweet.

Who are you?

My name is John.

- And welcome back

to Clayton's wxpc

it's just about

the top of the hour.

Some startling new

developments on a story

we've been following

for the last 48 hours.

The death of a Clayton man,

Jeb jolly, aged 53

is now under

police investigation.

The local mechanics body

was found yesterday

by one woman who likened

the violent scene

to quote,

"a bizarre animal attack."

Clayton county

police department

have declined to comment,

citing the need

for an official

coroner's report.

Jolly's family

asking only for our prayers.

-Hey, principal Layton

wants to see you.

-Mrs. cleaver,

take a seat please.

John, adolescence

can be a difficult time.

It's normal to be

interested in the world

and all of its problems.

Normal to be drawn

to death and murder.

But unfortunately you can go

too far down that road.

Too far away from..

Well, normal thoughts.

-What do you say, John?

-I'm interested in

how many times you felt

it was necessary

to say the word "normal."

- It's not like there's a whole

lot to say about Einstein.

I mean, he discovered

e equals mc square

and nuclear bombs but that's it.

I'm lucky I got

half a page at all.

-And you missed

two points for length

you missed another two

for spelling.

I mean, you managed

to spell Einstein

a different way every time.

-That's creativity.

-No, that's remarkable.

That's amazing.

-Hoo! Say, you guys, uh

you guys catch that smell?

Smells of something dead.

Something rotting.

Freak.

-So, what psycho

did you write about?

-Dennis rader,

uh, the, uh, btk killer.

That's how he signed all of his

letters to the media

as "bind, torture, kill."

-How many people did he kill?

-Maybe 10, they're not,

not sure but could be more.

- Only 10?

The guy you wrote

about last year

was way better at it.

- Jeffrey dahmer.

He was a cannibal and he kept

severed heads in his freezer.

- I remember your pictures now.

They gave me nightmares.

-Nightmares are nothin' man.

Those pictures gave me

a therapist.

-Oh, what up?

That black cloud

above ya's growing.

-I broke one of my rules.

-Stalking anybody?

-No.

-What else?

-Have you heard about

the MacDonald triad?

-Three traits shared by 95

percent of all serial killers

bedwetting, pyromania,

animal cruelty.

You do admit I have all three.

-What really gets me is..

...you know, a -- animal cruelty

predicts violent behavior..

...but until I read that

i -- I didn't think

it was wrong...You know.

-What else?

-Well, if I -- I -- I..

If I'm thinking about

hurting a person then..

...you know, I'll just

give them a compliment.

If somebody's really bugging me

to the point where..

...when I think about

killing them then..

...I'll just, I'll just smile

and I'll say

something nice...You know?

Is that hot chocolate?

-Uh-huh.

-I'm good.

-John, you have

a -- a lot of predictors

for serial killer behavior but

predictors are just that,

they predict

what might happen,

not what will happen.

You're in control

of your own destiny.

You're a good person, John.

That's important.

-Hey, John?

-Yeah, Mr. crowley?

-Come here.

What do you know

about smartphones?

-Uh, I don't know.

What do you, what do you need?

-I want to send

my wife a kiss.

-You want to send her a kiss?

- You're supposed to be able

to take photos

and send them to each other.

-Alright, um..

- Show me how it's done.

-Well, so, it's that button.

-Uh-huh.

-And then..

...you can use this one

to take the picture, so..

-Oh, oh..

-Here you go.

Okay.

And there you go.

-Good lord,

she's gonna be in shock

that's for sure.

-Brooke?

Come on down, dinner's ready.

-Relax, he's dead.

He's going nowhere fast.

-Is that Jeb jolly?

-Oh-ho, yes.

Hey..

...you surviving?

-Uh..

Are you?

- I'm not the one

who has to live with mom.

You heard from dad?

-No.

You?

-Rarely.

I ask him for money sometimes.

-John?

-Yeah?

-Dr. neblin told me.

-What?

-That you think you're going

to kill somebody.

-That's funny,

'cause that's not what I said.

What I said was that,

i follow very strict rules

to keep me from doing

anything wrong.

Seems like

you'd be happy about that.

-Happy..

...is not a son

who has to follow rules

to keep himself from

killing people

happy is not a psychologist

telling me my son

is a sociopath.

-He actually said that?

That's kinda cool.

-Antisocial--

-hate to dump this on you

this time of night, April.

It's a hell of a thing.

-I think the damage

is done, mom.

-What dive

are you heading to tonight?

-Somewhere with more

living people then here

that's for sure. Have fun.

- Oh, for the love of Mike.

- I call organs.

- Fine.

-Dang it, Ron.

- What?

-Well, we're missing a kidney.

I've gone through

the bag twice.

You think Ron would manage

to send us all the organs

for crying out loud.

-Well..

What if the person

who killed him took it?

-That's..

- It's totally possible.

Look at that.

- It'll be on the forms.

- I don't think so.

Oh, wait, here.

"Left kidney removed

via incisions to

renal artery, veins and ureter."

-So he had it removed?

-No, there's no record

of that, it's just not there.

- This is Ted rath,

live at the scene

where the ambulance has

just left and as you can see

the police and a crowd

are gathering here in Clayton

a normally peaceful town,

where a killer has struck

possibly for the second time

leaving a dead body and

a terrified town in his wake.

-Stupid, stupid,

the last thing this town needs

is panic about a mass murderer.

-I think the last thing

we need are the killings.

-Now details are sketchy

at this time

what I have been able to

ascertain is there was a small

pool of oil

or some black sludge found

near the body of local farmer,

Dave byrd.

We will, of course,

be giving you details

as they become available.
