with the murders of Uncle Eddie?

What about connections to Uncle Eddie?

Is it a copycat?

- Come on, give us something.

- When I say stop, you stop.

There is no copycat,

got nothing to do with Uncle Eddie.

Leave it alone.

I heard the victim worked

Uncle Eddie cases with you.

You got to give me something.

- I can't always have information...

- Get her out of here!

Hold on here, miss.

Who leaked this to the press?

Hard to keep a lid on

a story like this.

You know that, Stan.

This guy really

a buddy of yours?

Work colleague

Make me lie for you, Stan.

Used your friend

like an inkwell.

What's this one about, Picasso?

What's the connection?

Guy is writing a love letter, Stan.

Stan...

Just take a minute.

I wasn't sure whether

I should come down here...

so I talked it over with my wife.

She works a hotline

as a crisis counselor.

She told me that the only way to

avoid a crisis is to anticipate one.

Has seen this morning paper?

Your past is starting

to give me nightmares.

Camera Killer

Leaves a Mess

Which version of my past do

you mean?

Your old partner,

George, is dead.

- Now why is that?

- I do not know.

Good answer.

But I don't think there is much

to this copycat angle.

Hey, but f... the copycat.

I got Carl,

of all people,

asking whether the correlation

between these cases...

is more than circumstantial.

And he's not the only one.

You are not the kind of cop

who'd kill an innocent man.

- And I told Carl, this much.

- Thanks for your confidence.

Don't mention it.

Hey, look. There was one

version of the past,

yours, mine

and the department.

That's one version.

This next photo is from

Gauthier Grisomme,

the French master photographer.

He spent his entire life

chasing the decisive moment,

that instant when

composition, form and content...

conspire to reveal

some fundamental truth.

Too esoteric?

Hold that thought.

What do you see?

Where is the decisive moment?

What truth is revealed?

Is this the truth?

Or this?

Or this?

Or is it just another angle?

You're all familiar with

the Uncle Eddie case.

Now everybody's talking

about a copycat.

If Uncle Eddie is the original,

then the copycat is the one

always trailing behind,

compelled to reconsctruct

again and again...

the decisive moment

that has already happened.

And maybe there is no copycat.

Only a killer that has become

impatient with chance.

No longer content to kill

his victims where they stand,

he forces the decisive moment.

The killer painted half

of this with a pantograph,

and I finished the rest.

It's weird

but it makes sense, Stan.

Because he's implicating you

more and more into his crime.
