wisher and Miller.

All right?

- Yeah, I'm ready.

- Okay.

Did someone move the body?

Yeah, the killer.

Oh.

Elmo.

Elmo?

His name is Edward ackers,

retired tool-die worker.

St. elmo.

What the hell are

you talking about?

Don:

he was the patron Saint

of sailors.

He was martyred.

They...

Found his intestines

around the windlass.

I've never heard of him.

Someone want to get me

a ladder, please?

What's it say?

Corinthians...

- 15:
21.

- what does it mean?

"Since by man came death.

By man came also the

resurrection of the dead."

( Beeps )

( Water boiling )

Don't worry, it'll be

over in one second.

( Phone rings )

Hello?

- Miss Sandra carlow?

- Yes?

Hi, my name's

John Saltzman.

I'm a reporter

from the "tribune."

Um...

Yeah, that would be fine.

In a few minutes.

John Saltzman?

( Doorbell rings )

Hi, John Saltzman.

Thanks for seeing me

on such short notice.

I won't take more than a few

minutes out of your life.

- Please come in.

- Thank you.

You said something

about a story about me.

Oh, yes.

Well, actually,

it's a story about

the flaws in our

criminal justice system.

You were a member of the jury

in the Whitman trial and--

oh, my god. No, I don't

want to talk about that.

All the members of the jury

agreed never to go public.

It was just such a...

Awful experience.

We just wanted to forget.

Hmm, I understand.

Well, sometimes these things

do come back to haunt you.

( Water hissing )

Excuse me, I have a

lobster on the stove.

Would you like

a cup of coff--

no, thanks,

caffeine makes me edgy.

( Screams )

( Grunts )

( Whimpering )

No, no.

( Whimpering )

Please don't kill me.

I'll do anything.

Yes, yes. I know

you'll do anything.

So, let's

start with this.

( Dialing )

If I knew what this

was gonna be,

I never would've

called you in on it.

You don't think

i can handle it?

Look, all I'm saying is

a Whitman copycat should

not be your next case.

Personally, I think

you're wrong.

I mean, Whitman

never killed a man,

and I don't--

I don't think it's a copycat,

i think it's something

different.

He arranged a body to

look like a martyred

Saint, didn't he?

Yeah, but that's m.O.

M.O. Can change depending

on the circumstances.

Signature remains static.

Whitman's signature

was to punish women.

You need me on this.

Let me do it.

You don't sound like

you really want it.

Maybe that's why I need it.

Okay, it's all yours.

But things start to fall apart,

you come talk to me, all right?

Yeah.

( Crying )

no.

It's me, baby bear.

Sandra?

What?

( chuckles )

Honey, looks like our dinner's

making a break for it.

Sandra?

Jesus, Sandra.

What'd you spill?

We just cleaned
