MAN: Boys! Come here.

00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,400
You two looking for some work?

5
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,600
You see these boxes in the back here?

6
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,760
Yeah.

7
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760
I need help taking them to my warehouse

8
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,480
and unloading them when we get there.

9
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,440
I'll pay you three rand per box.

10
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,880
12 rand, uncle?

11
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,040
Yeah. And I'll give you a four rand bonus, just for your trouble.

12
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Come, you.

13
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,080
Here, get in.

14
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,640
Alright, I'll see you later, then.

17
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,840
Control.

18
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,280
Power.

19
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:22,080
These two go hand-in-hand.

20
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760
But power over life and death,

21
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,360
no, that's the ultimate control.

22
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:29,920
Close your eyes.

23
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,960
Now...

24
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,280
..imagine...

25
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,480
..you are standing over another person,

26
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,280
your hands around their neck.

27
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,920
You have their life in your hands.

28
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680
How does that make you feel?

29
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Powerful?

30
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,360
Omnipotent?

31
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,800
Now imagine being in that position,

32
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,440
but your whole life you've felt powerless.

33
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,320
Abused.

34
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Frightened.

35
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040
And now you've turned the tables.

36
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200
You're the one in control now.

37
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,200
You get to decide, do they live or do they die?

38
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,040
So you're the previously powerless killer who wants to reverse that.

39
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,600
How do you choose your victim?

40
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,680
OK, you can all open your eyes again now.

41
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,240
In this type of case,

42
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,760
our killer selects victims who represent himself.

43
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,480
Symbolically, when he kills, he's committing a kind of suicide.

44
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,960
But he's also able to split the two parts of himself.

45
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,400
Aggressor.

46
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Victim.

47
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,680
And so feelings of guilt continue to operate.

48
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,480
You think he has a conscience?!

49
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,720
Ah, some do, some don't.

50
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,480
It's not clear-cut.

51
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,720
There is no such thing as a person

52
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,120
who at the age of 35

53
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,400
suddenly changes from perfectly normal to totally evil.

54
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,600
FBI criminologist, Robert Ressler.

55
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560
He's interviewed hundreds of killers in his career,

56
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,040
so I trust when he says killers are created.

57
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,840
This man is a murderer.

58
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,160
A monster, you might say.

59
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,280
But he's also an abused child, a bullied teenager.

60
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,280
A victimised, angry adult.

61
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,520
We all contain shadows of our former selves.

62
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,160
We carry them within us.

63
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,560
You need to look at a killer and try and see these other selves.

64
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Understand them.

65
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040
You look into their soul.

66
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,120
You don't catch a killer by simply looking at their most recent act.

67
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000
You remember what I said to you when you first started lecturing here?

68
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,640
You said I'd get older and the students would stay young.

69
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Yeah.

70
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Well, that's true. That still applies.

71
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,560
What else did I say?

72
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
"Micki, don't put a cushion on your chair."

73
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,040
Exactly.

74
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,200
I have a feeling you're about to tell me

75
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,680
I'm destined for greater things.

76
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,480
I've been watching you convince

77
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,000
students like that boy to look deeper.

78
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,560
You want a chance at convincing the real world?

79
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,600
Police are looking.

80
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,200
They need someone like you. For what?

81
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,640
The police don't use psychologists and...I'm no counsellor.

82
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,480
There's a task team

83
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,240

21 boys gone since '86.

85
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,800
That case?

86
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,840
But it ran cold in '92, didn't it?

87
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,720
It did.

88
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Another boy's gone missing?

89
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,080
They suspect the killer started up again.

90
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,320
The community's volatile.

91
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,240
They need results.

92
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,040
They want to try out something new.

93
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560
They need a forensic profiler.

94
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,520
We don't have profilers in this country.

95
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120
No.

96
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,800
You'll be the first.

97
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,520
I'm not a detective.

98
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,480
You don't have to be.

99
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,600
You can teach the detectives.

100
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Think of them as those kids in there.

101
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,400
I'm not qualified.

102
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,760
You have a gift, Micki.

103
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,440
You're overqualified.

104
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760
That fear inside of you...

105
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,280
..you need to let it go.

106
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Those boys in Mitchells Plain need you to let it go.

REPORTER: In Mitchells Plain this morning,

108
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,640
thousands of police and locals resumed a dual hunt.

109
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920
On the one hand, the gruesome search for more bodies,

110
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800
on the other, the increasingly desperate tracking down

111
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,880
of the psychotic killer responsible,

112
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,120
as the man known as the Station Strangler

113
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,760
threatened to become South Africa's

114
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,040
most notorious serial killer in history.

115
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Local residents laid siege to the local police station this morning,

116
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,680
venting their anger on senior officers

117
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,120
who they say have adopted a lazy approach

118
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,080
to the devastating murders.

119
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Much of the anger is over the way

120
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,720
the police have handled the investigation

121
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
into these sadistic killings.

122
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,480
One community leader said this morning

123
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,680
that if the victims had been white children,

124
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:59,480
the killer would have been arrested days ago.

125
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,960
MAN: There's just teargas going all around, hey.

126
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Gas was coming in from the left and the right.

127
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
I told Louis, "Man, drop to the fricken deck, man."

128
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,920
(MEN LAUGH) He didn't listen to me.

129
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,960
Didn't pay any attention, you know?

130
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,680
It's not funny.

131
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,920
Why are you guys drinking at nine o'clock in the morning?

Long time ago. Just for holidays.

Huh.

More an every place girl.

00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,680
Pretoria. Grew up in London, then Paris, but all over really.

143
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,720
I'm sorry to ask, but how exactly are you gonna help with the case?

144
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,840
Well, if you'll let me, I'm going to help you understand

145
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,520
the motivations of your killer.

146
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Um, their origin story.

147
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,080
Know their why.

148
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240
We need to catch him, not feel sorry for him.

00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,920
This is your first time?

150
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,360
First time in the field, yeah.

Still stays with his grandmother, bounces between parents.

153
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,000
The family's a mess.

154
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,600
And why do you think Joey's disappearance

155
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,160
is connected to the serial murders?

156
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,520
MO's match.

157
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,200
And we have an eyewitness this time.

158
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,000
Joey's best friend, Tino.

159
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,240
He saw him take him?

160
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,920
He couldn't remember much of the day.

161
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,000
He said the man promised them money, that's what got Joey into the car.

162
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Very similar to the previous cases.

163
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,200
OK.

164
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,520
So, he's talking to the boys, gaining their trust.

165
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Could be.

166
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Is there a description?

167
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,440
No. The boy's traumatised.

168
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,920
Well, can I talk to him?

169
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520
I don't think that's a good idea.

170
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,040
I need all the information you have.

171
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,240
I need to know everything.

172
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,600
We have transcripts from our previous interview.

173
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,160
You can read those.

Search parties. Out every day.

175
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,280
You think the boy might still be alive?

176
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Were any of the previous victims held?

177
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,000
We keep hoping until we know better.

179
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,920
Joey's the 22nd.

180
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,480
Things are volatile.

181

183
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,920
You'll report to him.

Where can I work?

00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,320
I need to get started on the profile.

186
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,720
Your office is this way.

187
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Detectives work in this main building.

188
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,520
Task team out in this cooler box.

189
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,480
Welcome.

190
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,560
And here you go.

191
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,840
Your official appointment certificate.

192
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Congratulations. You're a police officer.

193
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,320
That's it? No parade?

194
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,360
Find the guy taking these boys and I'll throw you a parade myself.

195
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,840
(SIGHS) I know it's a lot.

196
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,600
I'll be up to date by this afternoon.

197
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,320
That's good.

198
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,880
We can visit the crime scenes together,

199
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,720
if that helps your...process.

200
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,760
And maybe wear something more comfortable, if you have it.

201
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,960
It will be a long day. Mm-hm.

202
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,280
"Welcome to the force."

203
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,400
The first three bodies were found in this area.

204
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,480
Not well hidden.

205
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Easy to find if you know what you're looking for.

206
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,800
And did you know what you were looking for?

207
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Not at first.

208
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,760
As you can see, the bodies weren't placed

209
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,360
very far from each other.

210
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Autopsy suggests they could have been brought here weeks,

211
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,320
even months apart.

212
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Yeah.

213
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,240
I noticed that.

214
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,480
He kept returning.

215
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,800
Risky.

216
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Over here is where we found the first body.

217
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Nine years old.

218
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,080
Ricardo Williams.

219
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,520
That's right.

220
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,280
He was strangled.

221
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,920
With his T-shirt.

222
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,200
I remember.

223
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,720
Hands tied behind his back,

224
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,400
body positioned face down.

225
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,200
We only found a skeleton.

226
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Over there is where we found the second body.

227
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,320
David Smit.

228
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Autopsy showed that he was sodomised.

229
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,240
You'll see the exact same positioning of the body.

230
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Oh, shit.

231
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,120
Here.

232
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:41,240
Let me take it.

233
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,720
CHILD: Oh, yeah! Kick it!

234
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,000
(CHILDREN SHOUT)

235
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Yeah! Yeah!

236
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,880
(CAR APPROACHES)

237
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,520
Kick it back, eh?

238
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,400
MAN: You've got a strong kick on you.

239
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,880
Come on, Evan!

240
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,600
You know, you can be a real player. Yes.

241
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,040
EKSTEEN: Visiting police officers stay here.

242
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,800
There's not much privacy, but...it is very safe.

243
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,360
See you tomorrow.

244
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,040

We want justice! We want justice! We want justice! We want justice!

246
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:51,920
We want justice! We want justice!

247
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,400
Are you hearing me, Colonel? I mean, are you out there looking?

248
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,000
Are you looking for my grandson?

249
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Miss Adamse.

250
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,120
You're frustrated, OK? I'm frustrated.

251
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:05,680
But I can assure you

252
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,280
we are doing everything we can to find your grandson, OK?

253
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,400
And how many children must go missing

254
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,040
before you can take the community seriously, eh?

255
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,720
You and your government about elections, elections.

256
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,640
Mandela this and Mandela that!

257
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,680
Look here, Venter. Our children are dying, OK?

258
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,440
He was always home by half past four.

259
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Always, always.

260
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,720
We have that information.

261
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,680
He was...he was wearing his blue T-shirt with...

262
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,360
..with...and his burgundy tracksuit pants.

263
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,320
We have that information already.

264
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,280
Look.

265
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,440
My officers are on duty 24/7.

266
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,240
Some of them haven't seen their own families in days.

267
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,720
That's all I can give you.

268
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,800
I... I'm... I'm sorry. I...

269
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,360
It's OK. I should get back.

270
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,720
(SOBS) It's OK. It's OK.

271
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,440
Hush. It's OK.

272
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,280
We should go.

273
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,360
EKSTEEN: Micki.

274
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,920
Louis Rossouw.

275
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,000
Rossouw!

276
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,840
He's from Peninsula Murder and Robbery, working along with Jannie.

277
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,640
Loots and Adams, both on assignment from head office.

278
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,800
Our detectives answering to our lead detective,

279
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,160
AJ Oliver, who you know.

280
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,400
What's this now, Eksteen, a bloody guided tour?

281
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,480
Colonel, please meet the newest member of head office...

282
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,880
Yeah, I know who she is.

283
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Adams.

284
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,000
We can't have families pitching up here every fucking day.

285
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,840
Tell charge office to keep them out front.

286
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Colonel.

287
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,200
AJ and Adams are gonna bring Leroy in.

288
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,280
I want her to interrogate him.

289
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,120
Um...who's Leroy?

290
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,120
MAN: One! Yah!

291
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:57,080
Two! Yah!

292
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Three!

293
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,840
EKSTEEN: Leroy Paulse.

294
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,880
35 years of age.

295
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Local resident of Mitchells Plain.

296
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,960
Yah!

297
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,160
We had him down as a suspect in '93,

298
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520
but couldn't really pin anything on him.

299
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Six! Yah!

300
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,760
There's something about the guy that's always been really off.

301
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,720
Eight! Yah!

302
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,240
He's got a wicked temper, Micki.

303
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Yah!

304
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,760
Could you take this table away, please?

305
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,120
Mr Paulse.

306
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:43,800
My name is Micki Pistorius.

307
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,840
I'm part of the Station Strangler task team.

308
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,440
No, you're not.

309
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,000
So, where's the other guy?

310
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,520
It's just me today.

311
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,640
Rossouw?

312
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,680
Captain Rossouw is busy, so we're stuck together.

313
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,160
It's me or no-one.

314
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,640
Well, I'm not gonna talk to no fucking rookie.

315
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,120
Oh.

316
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,080
Well...

317
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,800
..I am very sorry to hear that.

318
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,720
What's your name again?

319
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,440
Captain Micki Pistorius.

320
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Now, sit. Come sit here.

321
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,800
Why you want to run away? Come and have a seat with me.

322
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,280
Shame, you really want to catch him, don't you?

323
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,400
Who?

324
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,240
The Station Strangler.

325
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,400
But you won't. Not you.

326
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,120
Why not me?

327
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,600
Because you don't live here, lady.

328
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,480
Where are you from?

329
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,840
You don't know the Strangler.

330
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,920
Do you? Everyone does.

331
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,280
What kind of person is he?

332
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,440
He's clever.

333
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,880
A nice ou.

334
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,840
He likes children. Mm.

335
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,560
I've heard you work with children.

336
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,640
Yeah. Because they must fight. Protect themselves.

337
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,920
You teach them how to fight?

338
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,400
To fight.

339
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,120
To use this.

340
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:18,760
Did you grow up here?

341
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,160
No, not here.

342
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,760
All over, really.

343
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,200
PE, Durban.

344
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,240
A little bit in Jo'burg. Mm, I know what that feels like.

345
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,400
Moving around from place to place.

346
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,840
Do you know Joey Adamse?

347
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,800
Mr Paulse, does the name ring a bell?

348
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360
Joey Adamse. He's a boy from this area.

349
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,480
You're nervous, aren't you?

350
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,320
What makes you say that?

351
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,680
Because your hands are sweating.

352
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:57,560
Well, um...

353
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,000
..we don't know each other very well.

354
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,840
I get nervous around new people.

355
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,480
I'm not very outgoing, I live in my head a lot.

356
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,320
So, it makes sense I'm a bit nervous now, right?

357
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,280
I'm sure you get like that sometimes too.

358
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,080
Was.

359
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Excuse me?

360
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,680
Joey Adamse WAS a kid from this area.

361
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Did I know him?

362
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,600
He's not alive anymore.

363
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,960
And how do you know that?

364
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,720
When did you last see him?

365
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,600
I don't know. Days? Weeks? What?

366
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Did he come to any of your classes?

It's dark where you're going, lady.

369
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,600
Where?

370
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,440
Into the abyss.

371
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,880
Are you OK?

372
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,080
Oh. Yeah, I'm fine.

373
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,080
He's not our guy. Just your everyday psychopath.

374
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,640
Yes, sir. One session to figure that out, hey?

00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,080
How do you reckon that, huh?

376
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Well, he likes the attention.

377
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,560
He's a showman.

378
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,760
He's charming.

379
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,440
Manipulative but not enough to lure victims that young.

380
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,600
I'm saying he doesn't present the way I'd expect for this type of killer.

381
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,360
Someone who's been operating for this long without detection.

382
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,040
I'm not convinced he could rein himself in enough for that.

383
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,600
So he didn't do it?

384
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,120
My gut says no, sir.

385
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,040

00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,480

395
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,640

I called Hattingh for his advice.

406
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
I didn't ask him to send her. Oh, well, here she is.

407

FBI research tells us that serial killers

499

tend to start killing in their early 20s.

500
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:33,900
As this killer has been active for eight years,

501
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:37,300
he'll be in his late-20s to early-30s, a local,

502
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:39,740
and possibly the same race as the victims.

A person of any other race in the company of a boy

504
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:43,980

They're highly suspicious of outsiders.

506
00:33:46,220 --> 00:33:48,260
He'll have needed to be able to present himself

507
00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:50,100
as a normal member of the community -

508
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:53,660
going to church, buying groceries, visiting restaurants.

509
00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:57,420
The killer is clearly familiar with the area,

510
00:33:57,420 --> 00:33:58,820
knows the dunes well

511
00:33:58,820 --> 00:34:01,180
and perhaps spent time there as a child.

512
00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:03,020

00:34:03,020 --> 00:34:04,980
The choice of crime scenes.

514
00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:07,340
They imply an intimate knowledge of the geography.

515
00:34:07,340 --> 00:34:09,380
Easy enough to find if you know where they are

516
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:12,060
but hidden from view of the surrounding streets.

517
00:34:12,060 --> 00:34:13,980
He knew which paths were deserted.

518
00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:15,500
Knew the good hiding spots.

519
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:17,820
Those dunes are remote.

520
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:19,660
You can't hear any voices up there.

00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:20,900

00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,220
The bodies displayed no signs of struggle,

523
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:25,820
yet those boys followed him far out

524
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:27,420
of their own free will.

525
00:34:27,420 --> 00:34:29,220
They trusted him completely.

00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:33,300
I think our killer is proud of his work.

527
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:34,820
You can't know what he's thinking.

528
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:37,940
No, but the note in one of the victim's pockets,

529
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:39,900
that was him correcting us.

530
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:42,300
He's systematic and he wants us to know it.

531
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:45,060
Look.

532
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:48,980
The newspaper said Nathan Goliath was victim number 14

533
00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:51,660
and our killer saw that, went back to the scene,

534
00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:54,820
placed a note on Robert's body to make sure we got the order right.

535
00:34:54,820 --> 00:34:56,340
"Number 14.

536
00:34:56,340 --> 00:34:57,900
"Many more in store."

537
00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:59,540
That tells me he's precise.

538
00:34:59,540 --> 00:35:03,460
He knows exactly where his victims are left and he returns to them.

539
00:35:03,460 --> 00:35:05,740
There's a sense of perfectionism there.

540
00:35:05,740 --> 00:35:07,580
And he likes order.

541
00:35:07,580 --> 00:35:10,900
I think that's reflected in how he presents himself.

542
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:12,420
How he dresses.

543
00:35:14,420 --> 00:35:15,660
That's what I have.

544
00:35:18,060 --> 00:35:19,220
So now what?

545
00:35:20,620 --> 00:35:22,980

You've just described a ghost.

549
00:35:31,540 --> 00:35:35,260
With respect, sir, our other leads are blind speculation.

550
00:35:35,260 --> 00:35:37,340
This is more concrete than anything we have.

551
00:35:37,340 --> 00:35:39,580
Have you seen those people at the gates?

552
00:35:39,580 --> 00:35:41,020
We'll be starting a witch-hunt.

553
00:35:41,020 --> 00:35:42,780
I agree. We need facts.

554
00:35:42,780 --> 00:35:45,900
These are educated guesses informed by material evidence.

555
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:48,580
Educated guesses? Sounds like a hunch to me.

556
00:35:53,420 --> 00:35:54,900
We need to release the profile.

557
00:35:57,140 --> 00:35:58,300
It'll be chaos.

558
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,140
We have 21 dead bodies,

559
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:02,700
two missing boys, no real leads.

560
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,380
It's already chaos.

561
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:09,180
If this fucks up the investigation,

562
00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:12,180
I'll make sure both of you are dropped from this task team.

563
00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:14,140
OK? You'll be back in Pretoria and you...

564
00:36:14,140 --> 00:36:16,020
..I'll have your badge.

565
00:36:16,020 --> 00:36:17,780
We clear?

566
00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:19,860
Ja, Colonel.

Lauria, I think.

Can't quite make out the handwriting.

574
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:52,220
So you're a journalist at the Cape Times

575
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:53,700
and this arrived in your newsroom?

576
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,660
Yes. Addressed to me via regular unregistered mail.

577
00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:58,900
Convenient timing.

578
00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:02,260
Are there any more letters?

579
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:03,980
Yes.

580
00:38:03,980 --> 00:38:07,580
That one came yesterday and two more today.

581
00:38:07,580 --> 00:38:09,740
I brought them with, so you can have a look.

EKSTEEN: What do you make of it?

583
00:38:20,540 --> 00:38:22,500
I've heard this name before.

584
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,620
Which name? Donna Lauria.

585
00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:26,540
And this line,

586
00:38:26,540 --> 00:38:28,340
"not knowing what the future holds."

587
00:38:30,940 --> 00:38:32,300
It's David Berkowitz.

588
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:34,220
Who? Son of Sam.

589
00:38:34,220 --> 00:38:36,820
He's a serial killer. Late-'70s, New York.

590
00:38:36,820 --> 00:38:40,300
He wrote letters like this to police to taunt them.

591
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:42,700
The letters were later published in books.

592
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,300
A copycat. Mm.

593
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,740
And a plagiarist,

594
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:48,420
if he's modelling himself after Berkowitz.

595
00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:50,740
No, that's good.

596
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:53,820
Yeah, it means we're a step ahead. Um...

597
00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:56,620
Can we do a sweep of the city libraries?

598
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:59,820
Find out which branches have books about Berkowitz on their shelves.

599
00:38:59,820 --> 00:39:02,500
Compile a list of people who've checked them out.

600
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,100
Now you're thinking like a detective.

602
00:39:17,580 --> 00:39:19,380
Hello. JANNIE: How's it, Micki?

603
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:20,700
How's your Saturday?

604
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:23,620
Just been to get myself a birthday cake. What's going on?

605
00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:25,700
Yeah. You're needed at the station. Um...

606
00:39:25,700 --> 00:39:27,140
I'll send someone to come get you.

607
00:39:28,980 --> 00:39:31,700
Happy birthday. Bring cake, hey?

608
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,420
WOMAN: (WHISPERS) I tell you, he's dangerous.

609
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:41,940
MAN: You think he could be the Strangler?

610
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:43,940
Why?

611
00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:46,700
He fucks chickens.

612
00:40:10,740 --> 00:40:14,420
I'll take that. Thank you. What's going on?

613
00:40:14,420 --> 00:40:16,380
Venter's on a warpath. With who?

614
00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:17,500
You.

615
00:40:24,020 --> 00:40:25,820
Have you seen what's going on out there?

616
00:40:26,980 --> 00:40:29,660
Every madman in Mitchells Plain is coming out of the woodwork.

617
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:31,660
Every fucker who has an issue with his neighbour,

618
00:40:31,660 --> 00:40:33,460
he's calling him the Strangler.

619
00:40:33,460 --> 00:40:35,300
So, three dozen leads in 24 hours.

620
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,620
And one of them could be our killer.

621
00:40:37,620 --> 00:40:39,700
Look, Colonel, this was always going to be the risk we took.

622
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:41,700
Risk?! Oh, no, no.

623
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,580
You never said anything about risk, OK?

624
00:40:43,580 --> 00:40:45,660
Not when you were standing here with your profile

625
00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:46,820
and your psychology kak.

626
00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:49,540
OK. I said it would be a risk.

627
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:51,140
I said if you fucked with my investigation...

628
00:40:51,140 --> 00:40:53,100
But who's to say none of the leads are good?

629
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:55,220
We won't know that until we follow up.

630
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:56,500
Yeah, and who's sitting on the phone

631
00:40:56,500 --> 00:40:58,020
taking statements like a fucking clerk?

632
00:40:58,020 --> 00:40:58,980
Me?!

633
00:41:00,220 --> 00:41:03,180
I'm trying to find two missing boys and my doors are trampled down.

634
00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:04,860
Colonel, isn't that what we want?

635
00:41:04,860 --> 00:41:08,060
I mean, don't we want the community to be involved, to help us look?

636
00:41:08,060 --> 00:41:10,020
Of course there'll be some false leads,

637
00:41:10,020 --> 00:41:11,420
but if we're doing our job properly...

638
00:41:11,420 --> 00:41:13,060
Hey! Listen here.

639
00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:15,900
I've been doing my job for 25 years.

640
00:41:15,900 --> 00:41:19,740
OK? I've arrested killers, rapists, every lunatic you can think of.

641
00:41:19,740 --> 00:41:23,580
And I did it by using experience and instinct.

642
00:41:24,780 --> 00:41:27,220
How many convictions have you had, Ms Pistorius?

643
00:41:27,220 --> 00:41:28,660
How many arrests?

644
00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:32,020
I'm asking you... None, Colonel.

645
00:41:33,460 --> 00:41:35,140
I'm trying to catch a killer.

646
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:38,420
And head office thinks it can drop you in my lap.

647
00:41:38,420 --> 00:41:40,580
Make you my problem.

648
00:41:40,580 --> 00:41:42,540
But let me be clear.

649
00:41:42,540 --> 00:41:45,300
You are a distraction to this team.

650
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:48,940
And to this investigation.

651
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:53,820
What do you need, Colonel?

652
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:57,540
What I need is manpower.

653
00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:01,340
That's not going to happen because this country is fucked

654
00:42:01,340 --> 00:42:04,180
and no-one gives a shit about a nothing township in the Cape Flats.

655
00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:08,780
I have to make do with what I have before another child turns up dead.

656
00:42:09,820 --> 00:42:11,060
But what I don't need...

657
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:14,060
..is a degree in a skirt.

658
00:42:24,260 --> 00:42:25,220
Dankie.

659
00:42:37,420 --> 00:42:38,900

660
00:42:53,580 --> 00:42:54,540
You smoke?

661
00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:07,340
This stuff in Rwanda's terrible, hey?

662
00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:12,100
I mean it's kak here too, but...

663
00:43:13,140 --> 00:43:16,060
There's some perspective for you. Just got plenty, thanks.

664
00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:20,020
He's right, you know.

665
00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:22,580
That I'm a degree in a skirt?

666
00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:26,020
Head office just dropped you on us.

667
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:27,740
No warnings, no debates.

668
00:43:33,580 --> 00:43:36,260
I took this job because I thought I could make the theory real.

669
00:43:37,780 --> 00:43:39,500
Save real lives.

670
00:43:40,460 --> 00:43:41,820
Life is rigged.

671
00:43:43,780 --> 00:43:46,420
So I just sit quietly in my tin can,

672
00:43:46,420 --> 00:43:48,380
passing the time until I can clock off?

673
00:43:52,460 --> 00:43:53,860
Look, work your cases,

674
00:43:53,860 --> 00:43:55,500
clock your nine-to-fives,

675
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:56,900
don't stick your neck in the wind.

676
00:43:58,740 --> 00:44:02,580
Do that and in a few years I'll be sending you a promotion form.

677
00:44:03,620 --> 00:44:06,060

OK.

681
00:44:45,860 --> 00:44:48,060
