PROFILER 1X07: NIGHT DREAMS ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 11/16/1996
- Looks like somebody sent invitations.
- Three women disappear in four days.
Things like this aren't supposed to happen in this neighborhood.
It's going to be a feeding frenzy.
- We're going to need access to the first two crime scenes.
- Happening as we speak.
- Are you still holding out hope that any of these women are still alive?
- We just got here. Give us a chance, ok?
- You don't seriously expect any ransom demands, do you?
- Sharks. - They're scared.
- Yeah, of not beating the guy next to them to the 6:00 news.
- I thought the blonde was cute.
- Should have given her your phone number over the noise.
- Bad day for the doughnut stores.
- Baltimore P.D.'S catching a lot of heat on this.
Calling it a kidnapping for now.
That gets us here.
- Victim's husband came in early from an out-of-town business trip, walked into this mess.
- I'm gonna speak to the husband.
- Come on.
- Candle wax, animal head. Same guy, right?
- Police report say how he got in?
- Through the back door downstairs. Seems as though they never locked it.
Didn't think they had to.
- Nineteen-year-old college girl, a 60-year-old Alzheimer's patient, and now this.
There's no pattern.
- Maybe he just keeps trying till he gets lucky.
- I don't think so.
- The candles, the paint .
he takes the show with him. He knows where he's going
before he gets there. - So he stalks them first.
Gets the lay of the land.
- That would explain how he got in and out of here without being spotted, yeah.
- What you got?
- A headache, if you want to know the truth.
Bed was covered with blood, but none was found on the floor.
- Take a look at this.
Found this scattered around the bed.
- Sunflower seeds?
- That's what it looks like.
And this is .
- Dirt?
- Why, hey, aren't you the smart one today?
- Any traces of dirt or sunflower seeds at the other crime scenes? - No. - Hmm.
- Prints? - Gloves. - Right. Thanks. - Hmm.
- The husband's a mess.
- Came home around 6:00 this morning, went in to give his little girl a kiss, she was still in bed.
Then he came up here.
- Did she see this?
- It's hard to tell what she did or didn't see.
She's a little overwhelmed at the moment.
From what they could get, she was asleep.
- Thank god they kept her away from this.
- Keep them off her, Bailey.
She doesn't need to remember right now.
- Son of a bitch spent a hell of a lot of time here.
- He's very deliberate.
He's performing some sort of ritual. This is not about violence.
- We should have forensics check the imprints in the wax at the side of the bed here.
Looks like he knelt down while he was doing whatever he did in here.
- No apparent struggle. Be nice to know how he manages that.
- And how he moved her without leaving a trail of blood.
- He may have wrapped her in something, carried her out.
Make sure they check her clothing. Compare notes with the husband.
Find out if anything's missing. - All right.
- I don't get it. With this kind of slaughter, why take the body with you?
- He wasn't finished with it.
- Stop it!
- Mom!
Mom!
Mom.
- It's ok.
What is it, sweetie?
You ok?
Hmm?
What, were you having a bad dream?
- It seemed really real.
- Yeah.
It was only a dream, Chloe.
You're ok.
Ok?
You want to tell me what it was about?
- No?
- Sometimes it helps to talk about it, Chlo.
- Ok.
- Chloe, you know that dreams can't hurt you, right?
I mean, they can be very scary sometimes, but they can't hurt you.
- Do you ever have scary dreams?
- Sure, I do.
Everybody does.
- Who comes to your bed when you're scared?
- Well, when I'm afraid, I know that, uh, I have you and Angel.
- I'll take care of you, mommy.
- I know you will.
Go to sleep.
- I know you will.
- Candy Bruckner, age 19.
Taken from her room at the theta zeta omega sorority house.
No forced entry.
Like the others, no one heard or saw anything.
No apparent struggle.
- Julie, 60 years old, suffering from Alzheimer's.
Resident of the Golden Meadow Nursing Home.
She was taken from an outing at Hastings Park.
No candles, no wax, no seeds, no dirt.
- Can we even be sure she's part of the pattern?
- It'd be dangerous to rule her out at this point.
Berkowitz in New York targeted brunettes, hair parted in the middle;
Bundy, college-age girls; Hawkins, the elderly and the infirm.
This guy's all over the road.
- Well, all the victims are women.
- What about the candles, the jaguar?
- We're running down references on every religion we can find.
Does anyone really think these women are still alive?
- Whoever he is, he's getting in and out of these neighborhoods undetected, and he's carrying a kit with him.
- Let's check anyone who works in the area, people who blend
in unnoticed -- telephone repairmen, plumbers, milkmen, street cops.
- Nathan. Right.
Are you sure? All right, I'll tell the results
are in on the blood from the Everett House. - It's not human.
It's goat's blood.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Here. Try these.
- Better at getting rid of the knot in the stomach there. - Thanks.
- Did you know that there are more than seventeen known religions
that use goat's blood in one type of ceremony or another? - I'm strictly a
wine and wafer guy. - So that, uh, that knot in
your stomach, part of that Coop? - Maybe, but that is the way it is, and
I'm just gonna have to learn to live with it.
- Tell that to your intestines. Listen, uh, Sam .
I just wanted to let you know that I know how it is.
You know? I mean, I know it can really suck sometimes.
- Poetically put. - Yeah, well.
Sometimes it just helps to talk about it.
And, uh, anyway, I've been there, so .
if you need a shoulder. - Thanks.
- Oh. I almost forgot why I came in here.
You want to see the other crime scenes?
- Yeah.
- Candy Bruckner's room is secure and ready anytime you are.
- Good.
- Girls Candy's age are usually leaving home.
for the very first time, so where they live is an expression of their personality.
- So, I guess, Candy Bruckner is neat, organized, and boring.
- Does she look boring to you?
- What's your point?
- Well, would this girl be living in this room?
- I guess not.
- Did you bring gloves? - Of course.
I always come prepared.
- What am I looking for? - I don't know.
I'll tell you when you find it.
- Thanks. That helps.
- John. - Yeah?
- Candy Bruckner is 19 years old, but this place looks like it could belong to an 8-year-old.
Anything having to do with her sexuality is gone.
I mean, there's no makeup, no perfume.
- No lacy underwear, no jewelry.
- Right.
- I found these at the bottom of the closet.
- What is this, a piece of straw?
- Mm-hmm.
- And a note.
- "The circle closed, last air, last breath.
The darkness holds new life from death.
- Did Bailey go back to the Everett house?
- Yeah. He asked Grace to check it out.
- Great. Call him and tell them to look .
tell them to look for a piece of straw like this.
- How does this fit with Mrs. Everett?
- I don't know.
It doesn't, but it's something.
It tells us something about him.
He didn't de-sexualize Mrs. Everett,
but whoever this guy is, he's leaving us much more than we thought.
Tell Bailey to turn the place upside down.
- It was on the kid's bed, so close to our noses, we almost didn't find it.
- What about the note?
- Open it up.
- "To touch the god, wear tomah's rune. Their deaths shall come by solstice moon.
- I already ran it. Solstice moon is three nights from now.
- They're still alive.
- Hope continues to fade regarding the fate of three missing women.
All that we know right now is that the jaguar is loose in Baltimore,
and that until he's caught, no woman can feel completely safe.
ANCHOR: Thank you, John. This frightening story... - Please turn that off, please.
- The jaguar?
- Well, they had to have something to hang their hats on.
I just call him impossible to figure.
- Well, their name's catchier.
- Is the elevator door locked?
- Yes, for the third time.
- Angel, do you think that we're ok here?
- We have four armed firemen downstairs and an FBI agent sleeping in the bedroom.
I think we're safe as anywhere.
- Is there any luck on Jack's fingerprint?
- No. We ran it through the N.C. I. C.
and the military, and there's nothing. - You'll find him, Sam.
- Angel, how does he know so much about me?
I mean, the doctor who delivered me? How did he get my birth certificate?
- Mom! Mom!
- Chlo? - Mommy. - Chloe.
Sweetie, come here.
- He was here, mom, in the window.
- Who was here, sweetie?
- A man was looking at me through the window.
- Chloe, we live on the second story.
There's no way anybody could get to the window.
Are you sure weren't just having a bad dream?
- Baby Waters saw him, too.
- Ok, do you think either you or Baby Waters could tell me what the man looked like?
- It was too dark.
- Ok. I'll have a look, ok?
- Well, there's nobody down there now, sweetie, and there's no ladder and no way to get in.
- Maybe he flew.
- Chloe, do you really believe that somebody could do that?
- No. You were just having a bad dream, sweetie.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna leave your light on in here tonight, ok?
And Angel and I are right outside that door if you need us.
- Mom. - Yeah?
- Make sure the elevator's locked.
- Ok, I will. Go to sleep.
- We're still not even sure that Julie Rafer's disappearance is connected with the others.
I mean, she is an Alzheimer's patient.
She could've just wandered off.
Linda Firestone.
She's an R. N. And a supervisor at the nursing home.
She and an aide, Susan Holmes, were with the group the day that Julie disappeared.
- Well, she didn't give me much to go on.
- Yeah, well, she said she doesn't remember much.
- If you don't mind going over it one more time, maybe I can help you remember some stuff.
- All right.
- We really do observe much more than we realize.
It's just a matter of concentrating.
You just have to sort of slow it all down.
Just try to take yourself back to that day.
You were in the park, and you can hear the children laughing .
feel the breeze. Where were you?
You were on the carousel?
- Yeah, uh, with Helen. I was talking with Helen.
And then the ride stopped. We got off.
And that's when Julie came up to me.
She said that she had to use the little girls' room.
I asked her if she wanted me to go with her, but she said she'd be fine.
I pointed it out to her, and I .
- I watched her go for a second or two, then I turned back to the carousel.
Bells made me hungry.
- Bells? What bells?
- There was an ice cream truck, and I remember
thinking what a good time it would be to have some ice cream.
But, you know, we're not allowed to feed the patients outside the home.
But it was there. - Where?
- Oh, it--it stopped right over there, right beyond the bathrooms.
- Linda, did you get a look at the driver?
- No. No, he was too far away.
Next time I thought about it, he was gone.
- So was Julie.
- If it is the same guy, Bailey, he would've left us a note.
- Well, at the Everett house, it was right under our noses.
- Do you see anything?
- Well, there's a parade in downtown Peking.
Hold on.
- "In heaven's arms to lord ascend, the journey long will reach its end.
- From the Everett house.
From the Sorority House.
Nathan, what do we got? - Not much.
We're still hammering down on religions, anything involving goat's blood, cross-referencing that with the name Toma.
We've also got feelers out on anyone who raises or deals with goats in any way.
It's not like you can walk in and buy the stuff at your local supermarket.
- What's on wires?
- We've got a sheet out to the state prisons and psych wards.
Nothing yet.
John's on the ice cream truck angle.
- Sam. - Well, let's play the odds.
Men who victimize women usually have a destructive mother/son relationship.
- We know he's got a deadline -- the solstice moon.
- Which is in two nights.
Might get excited and blow something.
- None of these women cried out or struggled.
- Maybe he knew them.
I mean, there has to be a reason that he chooses the women he chooses.
It's as if he's collecting them.
- Hey, guys.
Put me at the top of your Christmas lists.
We got him.
- You want to punch this up there, Nate?
- We ran registration on all the ice cream trucks in Maryland.
All but 12 are registered to ice cream companies.
Of those 12, eight of them are out of service, so we ran background on the other four.
One of them .
belongs to this guy. - Bill Waverly.
Ooh, his juvie record alone could choke our database.
- With what?
- Mostly petty stuff to begin with.
Robbery, assault on other kids, one arson, and at 14, he hit the big-time.
He killed his grandmother.
He was sent away to a state institution in silver spring, and then - - They let him out.
- Yeah, he got religion, found the right words, and bingo, he's rehabilitated.
I got, uh .
the address here from DMV records. - Post time.
- It's not him. It's not Waverly.
- Damn it.
Hang in there, buddy. Hang in there.
- This is Malone. I've got an officer down.
I want an ambulance at the junkyard at highway 28.
Now!
- Hang in there for me. Just hang in there, all right?
- Am I dead?
- Well, there's some dispute, but the doctors say no.
- Good.
For a moment there, I thought I saw an angel.
- I can see that it's gonna take a lot more than a bullet to stop you.
- Did we get him?
- No. He got away.
- So all this is for nothing.
- Well, you'll get a letter from the Director and a big hug from Bailey.
- Or is it from you?
- What time is it? - It's about 6:30.
- Shouldn't you be home?
- No. Angel's with Chloe, and .
besides, you offered to loan me one of your shoulders once.
Now you seem to be one short, so .
- Great. Do me a favor and don't remind me.
- Sorry. I'll watch what I say.
- Bet you're surprised, though. - About what?
- I actually do have a heart.
- I never doubted it.
- Sam, we've got some forensics evidence to take a look at.
Conference room in five minutes. - Bailey.
I don't understand what he's doing.
I don't know why he's choosing these women.
- Well, it's not just women anymore.
The body in the ice cream truck was a male -- Joey Hernandez, age 24.
Waverly's prints were all over the truck.
- There was no note. There was no straw.
- None that we found.
- I still think that he's collecting women. - Uh .
maybe Hernandez got in the way. - Ok.
We'll expand the known associates on Hernandez, concentrating on women.
- Five.
- Flunitrazepam.
We found large doses in Hernandez's body, around the truck, and two bottles of the stuff hidden in the garage.
- What is it? - It's a hypnotic.
It's been used in a number of rape cases over the past year or so.
- That's why no one's heard them.
That's why there was no struggle. He drugged them.
- We're making that assumption.
Any addresses on Waverly besides the garage?
- Negative. We're still digging.
- What about his mother?
- His mother died when he was five.
He was raised by foster parents.
I'm in the system now trying to pull up a last name.
There's a lot of red tape.
- Nathan, check with the emergency rooms in the neighborhood.
Find out if any of the women admitted were affected by flunitrazepam.
- Think Waverly tried and struck out?
- He may have let one slip through the cracks.
Ok, we've got 24 hours, ladies and gentlemen . if that.
Looks like one of those days you've considered career alternatives.
- Wonder how much a forest ranger pays.
- Hey, you. - What you drawing?
- Pictures of my dreams.
- I thought we'd give it a shot.
- Mom, I think I'm taller in my dreams than in real life.
- Yeah? How tall are you? Taller than me?
- Not that tall. But taller.
- Who is this? Is this me?
- Mm-hmm. And that's daddy.
- Is that your dream, Chlo, all of us together?
- I dream about that a lot.
But it's just I have to decide how tall I'm gonna make myself.
- Helen? Billy Malone.
Good.
How are you doing?
Would you like to get something to eat?
Yeah.
I guess it's a little late.
Nothing.
Just dinner, you know,talk a little.
About what?
Well, do we need a topic?
I just thought it would be nice to get together, that's all.
No, I understand.
Sorry I couldn't give you more warning.
Maybe next time.
You, too.
- Nathan. I didn't know anybody was here.
- Your lead paid off. A woman checked into St. Vienent's hospital yesterday.
She was dosed with flunitrazepam.
Jennifer Mason, 1932 Driggs.
- That's a commercial district. She lives there?
- That's the address she gave.
- And you thought, "hey, it's 11:30 at night.
Why not call Sam, see if she wants to go see a show downtown?
" - Got the best dancers on the strip.
- Oh, well, in that case . - Can I help you?
- We'd like to talk to one of your girls.
Her name is Jennifer. - Over there.
- We'd like to talk with you.
- I don't do threes.
- There's just two of us.
- Hey, what the hell? I'm always open for experience.
- Yeah, right. After this number.
- It was the strangest thing.
I mean, it's not like I can't handle my liquor, you know what I mean?
My boyfriend Eddie was there, and I couldn't find him, and there was
this guy sitting next to me, and--you know how that is, sweetie.
- Yeah.
- It's like the next thing I know, I'm walking out to this guy's car with him.
I don't know why I'm doing it. I just am.
- You never got there. What happened?
- Eddie happened.
You know, it's all kind of a blur, but the way he tells it, he comes up to us,
he starts to hassle this guy, throws him up against the car, and that's it.
Next thing I know, I'm in a hospital getting my tubes cleaned.
- Would you take a look at this?
- That's the guy, man. That's him.
As weird as I felt, I got a good look at him. That's him.
- Hey, Jen, get shaking up there.
You were up 10 minutes ago.
- We're almost done. - I think you are done.
- Play nice, now, Ruben.
They're feds. - You're a fed?
What a waste - Well, thank you very much.
- Yeah, I hope you get your guy.
Later. - Thanks.
- It turns out Joey Hernandez had a girlfriend.
Her name was Terry Sample.
She was a prostitute.
He was her pimp.
We've been trying, but nobody's been able to find her for the last 18 hours.
- Waverly might have tried to move in on Terry like he did with
Jennifer, but he didn't realize they both had boyfriends later on.
- Except he killed Hernandez.
- Tonight is the solstice moon.
- You got an address? - 1652 Goodland.
Just came in.
So do we, uh..go find Terry Sample,or do we need a couple of minutes here to enjoy the fact that I'm back?
- No warrant. You phone Judge Pauling?
- It's on his desk. - Then he's on our side.
- You were right on it, Sam.
- Got it.
-"When man, just half and not complete, joins the whole in heaven's seat.
- Wait. Bailey, read that again.
- "When man, just half "and not complete, joins the whole in heaven's seat.
" - Joins the whole? The whole?
- The whole woman.
There's a poem that I read somewhere that they talked about the different phases of a
woman's life, and it went from child to young woman to sexual woman to mother to old crone.
That's what he's trying to do.
He's trying to make a whole woman, and in order to do that, he needs these specific types.
He needs one of each.
- One of each? There are hundreds of types.
- No, look. Look at what he does.
The other night, he tried to take an exotic dancer, right?
But her boyfriend got in the way, so what did he do?
He grabbed a prostitute. They're both sexual women.
It's the type that he's going after.
- Doris Everett's the mother, Candy Bruckner the young girl, Terry
the sexual woman, and Julie Rafer the 60-year-old with the mind of a child.
- That's his collection, and once he's got them all, he'll have a woman complete.
- And tonight they die.
- Forensics has been going over that ice cream truck for the last twelve hours straight.
They finally found this behind one of the freezers.
Get a load of this.
- "Clean and new, the infant sun, though still unformed, her soul begun.
The siren's lure, the ache of need, gives way to life, the fertile seed.
" Last, "frail of bone and weak of knee, a woman whole, she comes to be.
" - It's describing the stages of a woman's life.
You were right, Sam. - We also got ahold of this.
It's a book devoted to a religion called Tooahmah.
One of the big three.
Origin's in the caribbean. It's a dead religion.
In any case, it's all there -- the jaguar, god's head, goat's blood, and this.
- Anyway, to cut to the chase here, the deal seems to be this
Tooahmah guy and his circle of women all have to die together.
That way, he ascends to heaven whole and complete and gets to be the big enchilada.
- He becomes god.
- The hours are tough, but the perks .
- Got it.
We got an address on Waverly's foster mother.
Last name's Stookey, Erin Stookey.
If she's in, she's not answering the phone.
And, uh, we got about five hours until the solstice moon.
- Let's roll on this, folks.
- John, you should be in bed.
- Yeah, well, don't get me started.
Listen, Sam, I just read this guy's records.
It reads like a Poe novel.
After his mother died, went to a string of foster homes, and that's where the fun started -- torture, beatings .
- Yeah, well, it takes a lot to make one of these guys.
- Yeah, well, that's the point.
This guy's dangerous.
- You're not worried about me, are you?
- Oh, looks like you're gonna miss out on this one, huh, buddy?
- Miss out? Ha.
I'll let you guys go and do the dirty work, ok?
I've got a masseuse lined up, and Bertolucci's is delivering a gourmet pizza in 45 minutes.
- Well, I guess I won't worry about you.
AGENT: Everybody, let's move. - Sam.
He's still one shy on his circle of women.
He's got the child, virgin, sexual woman, mother .
no old lady. - You see, foster mommy?
Told you everything was gonna work out in the end.
You should have had a little more faith in me.
If you hadn't been so impatient, you could've waited for the rest of us to die.
Oh, well.
Always were the pushy sort, weren't you?
Oh. There you go. The perfect old woman .
weak of knee.
Listen up, people!
I've taken great steps to make sure that this is gonna be as painless as possible.
It is called .
sodium pentobarbital. - Now,
from what they say . it's just like we're all gonna
go to sleep for a while.
I hope they're as excited about this as I am. It's gonna be a few more minutes now.
- We have to wait for the Solstice Moon.
- Put it down, Waverly. - Um, you're much too late.
- Bill, wait.
You've made a mistake.
The whole is not complete.
- Oh, I have them all.
You're wrong.
- No, you don't have them all, Bill.
You don't have the mother.
- Yes--yes, I do.
There she is right there.
- No.
Bill, Ann Everett never gave birth to a child.
- That's not true.
I saw them together. She's got a daughter.
- Yes, but her daughter is adopted.
It won't work. You'll kill them all for nothing.
Don't do it.
- We'll see.
- Everybody move in!
- It's not fair! It's not fair!
I had it all planned out! Everything was planned out!
It's not fair.
- Please don't tell my mother.
She has so little faith in me as it is. Please.
- Can I go to the carousel now?
- Do you know where you are, Julie?
- In the park. Can I go to the carousel?
- Sure, tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll take you on the carousel.
- You promise? - I promise.
- You intend to keep that promise?
- Why not? I haven't been to a carousel in years.
- Did you see this? - No.
- You don't have to be scared of anything, ok? Trust me.
- She's getting real good at going down.
She still knows we have to walk up, though.
- Yeah? I want to ask you something.
Are you finished with this drawing?
- Mm-hmm.
- Chloe, who's this? - The man from my dreams.
- Why is he in the house? - Because he was. He was there .
the day daddy went away, and he was going outside.
- Chloe . sweetie . you told me that you were in bed.
Now, how could you see a man inside the house?
- I didn't want to tell anybody, but I heard a noise.
- I didn't hear the tv any more, so I didn't know if daddy was in the living room.
- And you saw a man leaving the house?
- At first I didn't think he saw me, but then he stopped to look at me.
- Did he talk to you, Chlo? Did he say something?
- No, he just took his fingers to his lips and went .
JACK: Shhh .
- Chloe, why didn't you tell me?
- Don't be angry, mommy. I'm sorry.
We don't have to tell anybody else in the world.
I'm sorry.
- It's ok, Chloe. I'm not mad.
don't drink and drive, drink and sync!
