The Alphabet Killer Page #4

Synopsis: In Rochester, a pre-teen girl is abducted, raped, and murdered. Detective Megan Paige investigates: she works long hours obsessively, and soon she's seeing visions of the dead girl. The FBI profiles the killer as a spontaneous drifter, lucky not to get caught; Megan thinks he's local and a methodical planner. She notes that the victim's first and last names and the place the body was left start with "C." When a second murder follows the same pattern, Megan is vindicated, but her obsessions get the best of her, and her mental state impedes her work. With the help of medication, therapy, and a friend, can she regain her equilibrium and catch the alphabet killer?

I know the warning signs.

I'm in a support group.

I'm in therapy.

I'm not gonna snap

and I need to do this.

- You want more coffee?

- No, thank you.

Yes, fill his cup.

He can't go home yet.

There was cat hair,

wasn't there?

I knew it.

I knew it last time.

Let me help you, please, Ken.

You can ride with Harper

on a trial basis, okay?

You're a consultant only.

You observe, advise

and consult, that's it.

You don't conduct interviews

on your own.

He takes the lead.

You don't handle evidence,

you don't go near evidence.

If we catch this guy I don't want

some defense attorney

using your mental history

to destroy our case.

Jesus, this is a bad idea.

And you don't load your weapon,

all right?

Ken, this is a good idea.

You want to catch him too.

Can I finish eating now, please?

Yes.

Thank you.

You meeting Eileen?

How'd you know?

Everyone knows.

She's very pretty.

Thanks.

Ken:

Everyone in this room,

you are now assigned

to the task force

for the Castillo-Walsh

investigations full time.

I want you to clear your desks

of everything else you're working on.

Now we're proceeding

with the assumption

the killings were perpetrated

by the same individual...

and that we're dealing with

an active local serial killer.

Both victims have traces

of the same white cat hair

on their clothing.

Now in the matter of the Walsh killing,

we have jurisdiction

over the kidnapping only.

Since the murder took place

in Webster,

we're gonna be sharing the case

with Webster PD

who have promised

to cooperate fully.

Ken:

Biggs, you'll be coordinating with them.

Now I want all known pedophiles

in the area questioned.

I want surveillance on the dump sites,

the victim's graves

and the general neighborhoods

from where the girls disappeared.

Now I'm sure I don't have

to remind you all

to conduct yourselves calmly

and professionally.

Okay, that's it.

Harper, I need a word with you.

I charted everywhere

Carla commonly went.

Blue means by bus,

red means on foot.

There's got to be some crossover

with Wendy somewhere.

- What?

- Nothing.

What's on your mind, Harper?

Honesty breeds trust.

No it doesn't.

All right, come on.

Just say it.

What, you think I'm going

to endanger you?

I think you're gonna endanger this case

and possibly yourself.

I think you were an excellent detective

who should've accepted full disability

for your mental illness.

I know that the department

keeps you around out of pity.

And I think the captain's

decision is insane

and it wouldn't happen if it weren't

for your past relationship.

You trust me now?

I can help with this.

Honey, Captain tells me you're gonna

consult, you're gonna consult.
