Mighty and dreadful
Thou art not so
Though soonest our best men
With thee go
Rest of their bones
And soul's delivery
But those thou dost think'st
Thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death
Nor canst thou kill me
I was only 21 when I died.
We're a hospital, not a war zone.
How do you expect us to keep
people calm when you're..?
You need a court warrant
to do what you're doing!
I appreciate your trying
Think of the state of our patients'
minds when...
- Lieutenant wants fingerprints taken.
- Prints?
- Not on your life. No way, Jose!
- He's right here.
- Want to talk to him?!
- Heard of malpractice?
- Have I what?
- I said...
- Yes! So what?
- He's dead.
- Right. He died in the electric chair.
- Why are we talking about..?
- Just a minute, I'll explain.
The Gemini is dead. We know that.
Do you recall the stories
in the papers and on TV...
...about his strange m. o?
I'll remind you.
Supposedly, the middle finger of the
victim's left hand was always found...
...severed. Always missing.
In addition, on the victim's back,
we were told, the killer carved out...
...a sign of the zodiac.
- The Gemini symbol, the twins.
- That was 15 years ago.
- Go ahead.
- Why are you encouraging..?
Shut your mouth!
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
EKG stat to ER.
The Gemini m.o.
that you heard about is false.
on the victim's right hand.
It was the index finger.
This one.
And the sign of the Gemini
was carved...
...not on the victim's back...
...but on the victim's left palm.
Only Richmond Homicide knew that.
No one else.
Misinformation was fed
to the press to weed out...
...those who said
they were the killer.
"I cut off this finger,"
the loony says.
"And on their backs I made my mark."
Next case.
But, in this case, gentlemen...
...three decapitations,
three victims...
...with this finger severed.
The correct one.
And the sign of the Gemini here.
Here!
One more thing.
The Gemini wrote letters to the
newspapers, bragging of his murders.
He always doubled his final L's.
Two L's, as in "wonderfull."
Yes.
The victims' names always start
with K, like Karl, his father...
...the famous evangelist
And whom he wanted to kill
and keep killing.
But the priest,
Father Joseph Dyer...
Dyer's middle name was Kevin.
Kevin.
Even that could do it.
- Would it take a lot of strength?
- No, not at all.
Very little, in fact.
Spring-activated.
Open it, and it closes on its own.
Takes strength just to open it.
It's a little stiff.
Needs adjustment.
- What's this?
- What?
This label.
- Just a shipping tag.
- Is it new?
Just came in.
A replacement?
Where's the old one?
Two priests and a crucified boy.
Clearly some religious connection.
But what is it?
I don't know what I'm looking for.
I'm groping.
...what might Kanavan and Dyer
have had in common? Where's the link?
I don't know. I don't know.
Dear God.
It could be that exorcism.
The MacNeil kid, Regan MacNeil.
The exorcism on Prospect Street
The one that killed him.
- Excuse me.
- Alice!
The speech! Will you give this
to Father, please? I gotta run.
- What's wrong with the lights?
- Good night!
Good night, Father.
Your speech, Father.
- Thanks.
- That's all right.
Need a drink?
I do.
Do you believe in possession, Father?
Who cares? I worry enough
about kids who need scholarships.
- I'll talk to Paul Morning.
- Who is he?
Our chaplain at the hospital.
in the Philippines.
- His hair turned white overnight.
- Is that true?
- What's that got to do with this?
- You mentioned that exorcism.
As a connection.
- To the people who were murdered?
- Right.
- Joe and Damien Karras were close.
- Yes, I know.
Joe was also a friend of the MacNeils.
- And Father Kanavan?
- He had my job back then.
He gave Damien permission
to investigate.
- That leaves us with the Kintry boy.
- Does it?
Damien gave our School of Linguistics
a tape to analyze for him.
supposedly possessed.
He wanted to know if the sounds on
the tape were a language or gibberish.
speaking a language she didn't know.
- And was she?
- No.
English in reverse.
- The expert who figured it out...
- Kintry's mother.
This is impossible.
Do you remember coming in here
when the priest died?
- You're the radio man.
- Yes, that's right.
Do you remember coming in here?
Why did you touch them?
Was there anyone else in this room?
Who was in here?
That radio isn't mine.
Mine is newer.
That man in the isolation tank...
You know, the one you looked in on?
The one you looked in on.
in here 15 years ago.
They picked him up
wandering the C&O Canal.
Down around Key Bridge.
Yes, total amnesia.
The man in the isolation tank...
You know, the one you looked in on.
in here 15 years ago.
They picked him up
wandering the C&O Canal.
Down around Key...
You had something to tell me?
Please, sit down.
There's a paper drive?
Haven't had a chance yet to read them.
I just keep them till I do.
I hate to miss the science articles.
They're good.
That man in the isolation tank...
- You know, the one you looked in on.
- Yes.
They picked him up wandering
the C&O Canal around Key Bridge.
Total amnesia. No I.D.
They brought him to us here.
And his condition grew worse.
He ended up catatonic.
Completely withdrawn.
But recently...
Well...
...about six weeks ago,
he slowly started to come out of it.
Every day he got better.
Just a little, but better.
And then all of a sudden,
he got violent. Really bad news.
We give him electroshock therapy.
And as of two weeks ago
he's been in isolation...
...but the thing is...
- Yes?
He says he's the Gemini Killer.
I want the file on that man.
Get it. Now!
You want to know
about the man in cell 11.
Stretch your memory. What was
he wearing when he was brought in?
- That was quite some time ago.
- Was he dressed like a priest?
- Like a priest?
- Were there any signs of injuries?
- That would be in the file.
- It is not in the file! It is not!
Two men on every ward.
Rotate them 24 hours a day.
In the disturbed ward, one man inside
near the entry door, one man outside.
Ask the Jesuits for the dental
records of Father Damien Karras.
Find out if he had a saliva test.
Might help us get a positive I.D.
What for, sir?
Sir, are you all right?
IV team to NICU.
IV team to NICU.
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Father Karras...
...was a Jesuit psychiatrist
at Georgetown University.
The man was a saint.
He was my best friend. I loved him.
Fifteen years ago he jumped
or was pushed to his death...
...down that long flight of steps
