when David Berkowitz walked up
and shot them both point-blank.
178
00:13:01,403 --> 00:13:03,739
Berkowitz killed six
people over two summers,
179
00:13:03,822 --> 00:13:05,782
wounding seven more. Why?
180
00:13:07,034 --> 00:13:09,411
Because a dog told him to do it.
181
00:13:10,787 --> 00:13:11,805
Now...
182
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:14,624

183
00:13:14,625 --> 00:13:17,294
or that he's pretending that he's crazy.
184
00:13:17,711 --> 00:13:20,380
But if we're looking for
a motive we can understand,
185
00:13:20,464 --> 00:13:22,340

190
00:13:39,107 --> 00:13:41,777
Criminals who thumbed
their noses at society,
191
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:44,112
but were basically in
it for personal gain.
192
00:13:45,072 --> 00:13:49,034
Now, we have extreme
violence between strangers.
193

204
00:14:25,237 --> 00:14:27,656

Manson, of course.

But Son of Sam kind of epitomizes now.
206

Attica! Attica! Attica!
348
00:24:12,115 --> 00:24:15,743
[MAN] I was so confused,
I was doing insane things.
349
00:24:17,286 --> 00:24:18,705
What sort of things, Leon?
350
00:24:23,626 --> 00:24:24,752
After the wedding...
351
00:24:26,087 --> 00:24:28,506
I ran off for ten days to Atlantic City.
352
00:24:30,007 --> 00:24:31,551
Sonny was frantic.
353
00:24:32,301 --> 00:24:33,594
He knew I'd been drinking,
354
00:24:33,678 --> 00:24:36,013
he didn't know where
I was, who I was with.
355
00:24:37,598 --> 00:24:40,351
[STUTTERING] Well, I couldn't
explain the things I did.
356
00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:42,895
So I went to a psychiatrist...
357
00:24:43,563 --> 00:24:44,689
who told me...
358
00:24:45,815 --> 00:24:49,277
that I was a woman
trapped in a man's body.
359
00:24:56,451 --> 00:24:58,703
[HOLDEN] So they were both homosexuals,
360
00:24:58,786 --> 00:25:00,037
but he was married,
361
00:25:00,121 --> 00:25:03,833
and his boyfriend wanted to
become a woman, which is confusing.
362
00:25:03,916 --> 00:25:06,335
- You really gotta get out more, Holden.
- It was mixed up.
363
00:25:06,419 --> 00:25:09,046
- You didn't like it?
- No, I really liked it.
364
00:25:09,130 --> 00:25:11,799
It was just so... sad.
365
00:25:11,883 --> 00:25:15,344
He was obviously very disturbed,
but somehow I liked him.
366
00:25:15,428 --> 00:25:17,638
- Yeah, you have empathy.
- Yeah.
367
00:25:18,389 --> 00:25:19,474
Empathy.
368
00:25:20,016 --> 00:25:22,810
I really liked the dialogue.
It was just very real.
369
00:25:22,894 --> 00:25:24,187
When I started at the Academy,
370
00:25:24,270 --> 00:25:27,148
they would send women out of the
room if there was any of that talk.
371
00:25:27,231 --> 00:25:29,484
They called it "deviant terminology."
372
00:25:29,567 --> 00:25:31,819
We even had a list of
words we had to memorize.
373
00:25:31,903 --> 00:25:33,613
Really? Which words?
374
00:25:34,989 --> 00:25:36,032

Oh, fuck.

[MAN] It's classic he said-she said.
385
00:26:08,481 --> 00:26:10,464
He says she hit her head on the bedpost
386
00:26:10,465 --> 00:26:12,485
having consensual sexual intercourse.
387
00:26:12,568 --> 00:26:13,820
She says he knocked her out
388
00:26:13,903 --> 00:26:16,155
and dragged her into this
motel room to rape her.
389
00:26:16,239 --> 00:26:18,518
We know she didn't hit
her head on that bedpost
390
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:20,201
because we've measured.
391
00:26:20,284 --> 00:26:22,078
[SHEPARD] Where do you
propose you would go?
392
00:26:22,161 --> 00:26:24,080
University of Virginia
in Charlottesville.
393
00:26:24,163 --> 00:26:25,164
Studying what?
394
00:26:25,248 --> 00:26:28,709
Contemporary Applied Criminal
Psychology. Ratchet things up a notch.
395
00:26:28,793 --> 00:26:30,795
What exactly is it you
think you're missing out on?
396
00:26:30,878 --> 00:26:32,713
We need to know the
current academic thinking.
397
00:26:32,797 --> 00:26:34,757
No, you don't want to
rely on academics, Holden.
398
00:26:34,841 --> 00:26:37,260
I'm not saying rely, just get updated.
399
00:26:37,343 --> 00:26:38,678
We just got updated.
400
00:26:38,761 --> 00:26:42,014
It's all in the library.
1972, everything was new.
401
00:26:42,098 --> 00:26:43,808
That was five years ago.
402
00:26:44,976 --> 00:26:46,310
What's the thinking now?
403
00:26:46,394 --> 00:26:47,603
Okay, look.
404
00:26:48,563 --> 00:26:51,107
There have been some fine
psychological studies over the years,
405
00:26:51,190 --> 00:26:54,735
but these are people who don't
understand the criminal mind.
406
00:26:54,819 --> 00:26:56,631
They understand their
corner of the world,
407
00:26:56,632 --> 00:26:58,156
which is a very small corner.
408
00:26:58,239 --> 00:27:00,575
Well, they must know something.
409
00:27:05,329 --> 00:27:06,789
I'm going to level with you.
410
00:27:08,082 --> 00:27:11,419
I'm going to tell you something
I really don't want you to repeat.
411
00:27:12,128 --> 00:27:17,216
As far as the Bureau is concerned,
psychology is for backroom boys.
412
00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:20,511
- [CHIME SOUNDS]
- You understand what I'm trying to say?
413
00:27:22,305 --> 00:27:24,015
No. What's a "backroom boy"?
414
00:27:25,808 --> 00:27:27,351
It's just frowned upon.
415
00:27:29,687 --> 00:27:31,772
We should be using
every resource we can.
416
00:27:33,357 --> 00:27:34,765
Talking to the smartest people we find
417
00:27:34,766 --> 00:27:36,861
from the broadest possible spectrum.
418
00:27:36,944 --> 00:27:39,405
- And we do.
- Otherwise, it's like the military.
419
00:27:39,488 --> 00:27:41,991
- Hey, we recruited Elvis.
- So did the military.

The King doesn't do it for you?
421
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:45,995

422
00:27:46,078 --> 00:27:49,916
and we're still recruiting
accountants and lawyers like it's 1946.
423
00:27:49,999 --> 00:27:52,168
Actually, recruitment has tapered off.
424
00:27:52,251 --> 00:27:55,296
- We can't get accountants.
- Well, then we're in trouble.
425
00:27:56,088 --> 00:27:58,382
[SIGHS] All right.
I'll scratch your back

and recommend funding for
you to audit a few classes,
427
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,055
but you will be expected to use
the opportunity for recruitment.

Speakers, lecturers, great minds.

00:28:07,016 --> 00:28:10,561
- Are you sure you want me doing that?
- You're smart, you're idealistic...
430
00:28:10,770 --> 00:28:11,938
more than a little sensitive.

435
00:28:44,428 --> 00:28:49,308
Italian physician Cesare Lombroso
drags us out of the Dark Ages
436
00:28:49,392 --> 00:28:52,103
and launches the scientific
era in criminology
437
00:28:52,770 --> 00:28:56,107
by differentiating
five criminal classes:
438
00:28:58,025 --> 00:28:59,318
the born criminal,
439
00:29:00,444 --> 00:29:01,946
insane criminal,
440
00:29:02,822 --> 00:29:04,448
criminal by passion,
441
00:29:05,491 --> 00:29:06,909
habitual criminal,
442
00:29:07,285 --> 00:29:09,954
and the occasional criminal.
443
00:29:10,037 --> 00:29:12,665
In other words, there are
those that are born that way
444
00:29:13,165 --> 00:29:15,459
and those who become that way.
445
00:29:15,543 --> 00:29:17,461
And in 1965, there's
this other breakthrough.
446
00:29:17,545 --> 00:29:19,380
This criminal psychology
research project
447
00:29:19,463 --> 00:29:23,301
at Bellevue psychiatric hospital
in New York couched it like this:
448
00:29:23,384 --> 00:29:26,304
personality and character
449
00:29:26,387 --> 00:29:30,725
far outweigh the presence of
psychotic or defective diagnoses.
450
00:29:30,808 --> 00:29:33,561
In other words, by extrapolation...
451
00:29:34,395 --> 00:29:35,855
are criminals born...
452
00:29:37,356 --> 00:29:39,150
or are they formed?
453
00:30:00,004 --> 00:30:01,172
Do you mind if I sit?
454
00:30:01,630 --> 00:30:02,665
You're sitting.
455
00:30:06,677 --> 00:30:08,804
You know, I wasn't aware
of that project at Bellevue.
456
00:30:08,888 --> 00:30:10,723
Well, you should be.
457
00:30:11,724 --> 00:30:14,435
Where I come from, criminals
are always born that way.
458
00:30:14,518 --> 00:30:16,354
Some people will never
stop believing that.
459
00:30:17,355 --> 00:30:18,939
- It's too easy.
- It lets us off the hook.
460
00:30:19,023 --> 00:30:20,900
Well, essentially
we're a puritan nation.
461
00:30:20,983 --> 00:30:24,236

on a minority of bad apples.

I'm an instructor in

And we really need to
hear from people like you.

perspectives and your insights.

perfectly.
488
00:31:31,345 --> 00:31:34,765
I'm sorry. You call yourself a
professor of criminal psychology.

00:31:35,349 --> 00:31:38,310
But you won't even talk to
the educational arm of the FBI?
490
00:31:38,394 --> 00:31:39,453
It's just...
491
00:31:40,271 --> 00:31:41,647
a sign of the times, man.

of an enormously costly, labor-intensive

federal surveillance operation?
496
00:31:52,283 --> 00:31:54,326
It sounds like the contempt is mutual.
497
00:31:54,702 --> 00:31:55,917
Don't you think that the traditional
498
00:31:55,918 --> 00:31:58,414
counterculture-law enforcement enmity
499
00:31:58,497 --> 00:32:00,124
is a little old hat by now?
500
00:32:00,624 --> 00:32:03,794
They'll never forgive you for
putting a tail on John and Yoko.
501
00:32:04,628 --> 00:32:06,490
Frankly, I'm surprised to have aroused
502
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:08,091
such a degree of fucking neuroses
503
00:32:08,174 --> 00:32:10,217
amongst supposedly intelligent people.
504
00:32:10,301 --> 00:32:12,595
Please, they're flattering themselves.

Get them back.

Look over here. Huh?

00:32:51,967 --> 00:32:54,428
Over there. Look. You got
everything here, okay?
518
00:33:04,563 --> 00:33:07,107

Then why have so much firearms training?

Well, because that is a tactical
response for when all else fails.

But if local law enforcement
can't shut something down,

859
00:49:53,238 --> 00:49:54,239
Frank McGraw.
860
00:49:55,198 --> 00:49:57,200
I didn't mean to embarrass
anybody back there.
861
00:49:57,283 --> 00:49:58,409
Not a problem.
862
00:49:58,493 --> 00:50:00,578
We're all a little tense around here.
863
00:50:00,662 --> 00:50:03,346
You must have heard
about the mother and child
864
00:50:03,347 --> 00:50:04,347
who were murdered recently.
865
00:50:04,415 --> 00:50:07,210
- Ada Jeffries and her boy.
- We've seen reporters.
866
00:50:08,419 --> 00:50:10,004
She was bound,
867
00:50:10,088 --> 00:50:12,382
stabbed repeatedly
about the chest and face.
868
00:50:13,049 --> 00:50:14,300
The boy's throat was cut.
869
00:50:14,384 --> 00:50:17,387
[GROANS] Rough one.
870
00:50:17,470 --> 00:50:21,307
I don't understand entirely what
you're talking about with psychology.
871
00:50:22,684 --> 00:50:25,103
I don't understand much
of anything anymore.
872
00:50:25,186 --> 00:50:26,771
What's on your mind, Frank?
873
00:50:29,065 --> 00:50:31,651
- I hate to bother.
- No, by all means. Bother us.
874
00:50:38,116 --> 00:50:41,995
When I left Los Angeles, I
thought I'd gone far enough.
875
00:50:44,789 --> 00:50:48,293
Ada was the kind of woman who
wouldn't say boo to a goose.
876
00:50:48,835 --> 00:50:51,587
She came from a deeply
religious family in Arkansas.
877
00:50:52,130 --> 00:50:54,924
When they found out she was
pregnant, they put her out.
878
00:50:55,425 --> 00:50:57,969
She lived in a rooming
house in Libertyville.
879
00:50:58,052 --> 00:51:02,599
No drugs, no alcohol, never
had a brush with the law.
880
00:51:03,349 --> 00:51:05,518
The boy was polite and quiet.
881
00:51:06,185 --> 00:51:08,938
She had him in Sunday school
at the Methodist church.
882
00:51:09,272 --> 00:51:12,442
She would sweep the steps every evening,
883
00:51:13,359 --> 00:51:14,777
just to be of service.
884
00:51:16,529 --> 00:51:17,864
I never met Ada.
885
00:51:18,581 --> 00:51:19,657
Every now and again,
886
00:51:19,741 --> 00:51:22,452
I'd see her and her son walk
along the road into town.
887
00:51:23,536 --> 00:51:24,746
They didn't have a car.
888
00:51:27,457 --> 00:51:29,208
Landlady found the bodies.
889
00:51:32,253 --> 00:51:33,504
They had been dead...
890
00:51:35,715 --> 00:51:36,716
four days.

What people won't do to each other.
892
00:51:45,975 --> 00:51:47,560
Nothing people won't do.
893
00:51:49,687 --> 00:51:50,897
How can we help?
894
00:51:53,649 --> 00:51:56,652
[MCGRAW] She was found
cuffed and lashed to the bed.
895
00:51:57,278 --> 00:51:59,572
A broomstick perforated her rectum.
896
00:52:00,573 --> 00:52:02,825
Whoever it was made the boy watch,
897
00:52:04,410 --> 00:52:06,204
then did the same thing to him.
898
00:52:07,455 --> 00:52:08,498
How'd he get in?
899
00:52:08,873 --> 00:52:11,667
Bathroom window. We think
that's how he came and went.
900
00:52:12,251 --> 00:52:13,711
There was no sign of forcible entry.
901
00:52:14,462 --> 00:52:16,547
- No one heard a peep.
- In a rooming house?
902
00:52:16,631 --> 00:52:20,259
My assumption is, he held a knife
to the boy to keep her quiet,
903
00:52:21,094 --> 00:52:22,303
and vice versa.
904
00:52:22,387 --> 00:52:24,764
This falls clearly into
the category of lust murder.
905
00:52:24,847 --> 00:52:26,557
By that I mean it's sexually motivated.
906
00:52:26,641 --> 00:52:29,102
That cannot be about horny.
907
00:52:29,185 --> 00:52:30,897
It's more about sexual gratification
908
00:52:30,898 --> 00:52:32,939
through the annihilation of another.
909
00:52:33,272 --> 00:52:36,025
- Did you find semen?
- Found some on a throw cushion.
910
00:52:36,109 --> 00:52:39,112
It was blood type O. I
know that's not much help.
911
00:52:39,195 --> 00:52:40,947
- [TENCH] In the victims?
- [MCGRAW] No.
912
00:52:41,823 --> 00:52:44,117
- He didn't rape them.
- He could have problems with sex.
913
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:45,451
That'd be a good bet.
914
00:52:45,535 --> 00:52:47,161
Could narrow things with your suspects.
915
00:52:47,245 --> 00:52:48,788
I don't have suspects.
916
00:52:48,871 --> 00:52:51,833
I don't have fingerprints, shoe prints,
917
00:52:51,916 --> 00:52:53,709
not so much as a single hair.
918
00:52:54,177 --> 00:52:55,211
Well...
919
00:52:55,294 --> 00:52:57,755
The fact that the killer left
nothing behind is interesting.
920
00:52:57,839 --> 00:52:59,882
It must have been
premeditated to a degree.
921
00:52:59,966 --> 00:53:03,136
He had gloves, he
cleaned up after himself.
922
00:53:03,219 --> 00:53:04,762
You think he was stalking her?
923
00:53:04,846 --> 00:53:07,432
- Or she just caught his eye.
- What about the boy?
924
00:53:08,057 --> 00:53:09,058
He was a witness.
925
00:53:09,142 --> 00:53:11,561
There are more expedient
ways to get rid of a witness.
926
00:53:11,644 --> 00:53:13,896
- Why make the boy watch?
- And why sodomize him?
927
00:53:13,980 --> 00:53:15,148
[HOLDEN] That's a good point.
928
00:53:15,690 --> 00:53:18,818
Is this crime about the
woman or about the child?
929
00:53:22,155 --> 00:53:25,074
- You're asking me?
- I was just posing questions.
930
00:53:26,367 --> 00:53:27,785
I get that.
931
00:53:27,869 --> 00:53:29,537
- The broomstick.
- Yeah?
932
00:53:29,620 --> 00:53:32,540
Is it the same broomstick she
used to sweep the church steps?
933
00:53:32,623 --> 00:53:34,750
- What if it is?
- He might not be a congregant,
934
00:53:34,834 --> 00:53:36,170
maybe someone just passing through,
935
00:53:36,171 --> 00:53:39,046
but the church could be significant.
936
00:53:39,047 --> 00:53:40,064
Could be?
937
00:53:40,131 --> 00:53:42,258
[HOLDEN] With the idea of service.
938
00:53:43,342 --> 00:53:47,180
I think that there's a passage in Mark.
939
00:53:47,263 --> 00:53:49,682
Something about the "Son of Man."
940
00:53:50,516 --> 00:53:51,934
I don't follow.
941
00:53:52,018 --> 00:53:54,479
[HOLDEN] All I'm saying is,
the broom may mean something.
942
00:53:54,562 --> 00:53:55,563
What?
943
00:53:57,190 --> 00:53:58,232
I don't know.
