S1 E7Blood Relatives

He knew who she was.

Not many housewives make that kind of enemy.

It's not about her. Killer's rage is directed towards someone else.

I agree. The stab wounds were brutal but impersonal, clustered well away from her face.

GGiebelhouse

So he knew who she was, but it wasn't about her? And he sliced her up, but it wasn't directed at her?... Hey, I'm just trying to keep up.

How could anyone abandon a child? But millions of people do it. Millions. God, it's scary. We have home after home filled with kids like James. And we know they'll turn violent. How do I tell the survivors that no one saw it coming? They're out there, Frank.

Thousand points of darkness.

People full of holes. Like James. Living off the fantasy that his mother will somehow make everything better. Frank?

It doesn't make any sense. James never gave up. He never stopped looking.

It was fantasy.

So, what we have here is a guy that goes to funerals for fun and kills people.

GGiebelhouse

Plus carves them up.

Does Social Service have a name for that?

He's a classic lost child. And there's an army of them just like him... Put up for adoption at one and a half. Never placed... In and out of foster care, reform school, abuse. He essentially raised himself.

Then he didn't do a very good job.

They never do. No one showed him how to connect with the world. Odd as this may sound, going to funerals is his attempt.

GGiebelhouse

Attempt at what?

Finding human contact. Family.

GGiebelhouse

Family? Please!

Read his diary... Decide for yourself... but I'm telling you, at some level, he wants what we all have.

GGiebelhouse

He wants to destroy what we have.

I read once the first two weeks of a kitten's life seal its fate. If it has human contact... it's domestic. If it doesn't... it goes feral.

Tough room.

You've got to let him see his wife.

I'm not jerking him around here. She was cut up... viciously. All the evidence is under wraps until I get my game plan in order.

It won't be real to him until he sees the body.

I seriously doubt that that's the way he wants to remember his wife.

Then don't expect his cooperation. It would help to have him on your side.

Oh, I could definitely stand to have someone on my side.

Maybe someone else should have picked up the phone when you called our house this morning.

You should have waited for us, damn it.

She'd be dead now.

He should have waited. You tell him.

I know... I know you had to go in there... Because of who you are... Because you had no choice. Frank... I can't lose you.

I'm not going anywhere.

Promise me? I don't want to ask myself 'am I strong enough to be alone?'

It's okay. Nobody is.

S1 E8The Well-Worn Lock

Tell me honestly, Frank. Am I going too far?

We live in a world where too many people won't go far enough, won't do what they know is right, what they believe. I don't know how or why it got this way but the world has become so complicated that to involve yourself in someone else's problems is to invite them needlessly on yourself.

Just because it's hard to imagine or hard to accept, people don't want to deal with this because it's easier to believe that it couldn't really happen.

BBangs

Yeah, well, you just go right on believing it -- whatever it is -- but when lies pass for the truth, then the whole world will have gone crazy and there won't be a damn thing that matters. Lady, there are things you just don't know.

S1 E9Wide Open

Yeah. Thinking about my parents, my grandparents -- forty or fifty years ago, they never locked their doors, day or night. We seem to have accepted it so... gracefully, so naturally -- the security systems. We've allowed ourselves to become almost besieged by our own fear.

If you're not afraid, you're living in denial. The world's changed.

Yeah, I know. Can't turn it back. But we wonder... where are we headed from here?

He's teaching us a lesson... about our pretensions to safety... about how vulnerable we are.

He takes chances but everything's considered... as if scripted, planned -- what to leave, what to take, what he wants us to see, what he wants others to see. He's leaving a record of the events -- videos, 911 calls, witnesses.

GGlen

'John Allworth.' The signature... centrifugal, vertical lines, forward expansion. The strokes... forceful, measured, alternating cursive and print. This man's signature's probably been the same since he was old enough to sign it.

What does that tell you?

GGlen

That the signer is deliberate. He has focus, but that this is to contain his rage or his anger -- that he can be explosive, prone to outburst or violence.

GGlen

Abraham Lincoln, Elvis and Muhammad Ali, all signed the guest book at the Open House. In my professional opinion, none are viable suspects.

S1 E10The Wild and the Innocent

I was at church Easter Sunday, and the minister was talking about the mystery of faith, and how easy it is to doubt what you can't prove, and how none of us saw the miracle at the Lord's tomb that day, all we had to do was to believe in it hard enough, and it would be true. And that's what faith was. He said that we can't be weak, that we can't dismiss the miracle, that we have to be strong enough to make mysteries real.
