1
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: You were listening to Strawberry Spring, based on a short

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: story by Stephen King. It's early, too early to deal

3
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: with this. That crowd of reporters is about the last

4
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: thing I need. Henry Kevin, what are you doing here?

5
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: The same as everyone else. I'm here for information. Listeners

6
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: will want to know what's going on. For Christ's sakes.

7
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on, don't you. It's

8
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: too soon. I don't have anything for you. Henry. We

9
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: we got back a long time, right, Yeah, you know

10
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: we do as long as I can remember. Great. So

11
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: if you know anything, anything at all, accounting one. See,

12
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I'm just a little guy around here. I need all

13
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: the help I can get. You and me. We're a team.

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: We're not a team. Maybe in your head. We're a team.

15
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: My head, your head. What's the difference. I gotta go,

16
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: let's see the Dean. Alright, I'm gonna go lose myself

17
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: in the crowd. Good luck. It's been eight years. Why

18
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: would spring heeled Jack come back to New Sharon? Now?

19
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Look at the press setting about there. They're like vultures

20
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: just waiting to pounds. We have to prepare a statement.

21
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Tell me everything you can about this guy, What do

22
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: you know that we don't? What do you want to know?

23
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: You wrote a book on spring Hill Jack murders. What's

24
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: in this thing that's gonna help us catch him? Look,

25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Last time he just stopped killing. He disappeared,

26
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: vanished into thin air. I don't know what happened to

27
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: spring Hill Jack any more than you do. Well, we

28
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: must have been close to catching him, probably scared him off.

29
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: How do we know it's really him and not just

30
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: the copycat? I don't, but I can tell you police

31
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: work has come a long way since n This is

32
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: six and this time it's going to be different. Now.

33
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: Either spring Hill Jack is back or someone read your

34
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: book and is looking to make a name for themselves.

35
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: This murder, the one last night he copied Jack's m O.

36
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: He chopped her head off. For Christ's sake, Jesus, I'll

37
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: do whatever I can to help. What can you tell

38
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: me about what you found? He's more violent than ever.

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Half her body was missing, and what's left over was

40
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: draped across the snow. You should know we asked and

41
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: to come down too, And I haven't talked to her

42
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: since the book came out. I haven't thought about Anne

43
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: for some time. After my book on Spring heel Jack

44
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: was published, I got a taste of fame and fortune,

45
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: and she went on to become a journalist. She resented

46
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: the fact that I wrote the book, since we both

47
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: covered the story. She always said I as a narcissist,

48
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: a better suited for celebrity. I always thought she should

49
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: be a psych major, but Rachel had that base covering.

50
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: I guess we all ended up where we're supposed to be.

51
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: No one knows this guy better than the two of

52
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: you did. Did you see the Globe? It's on the

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: front page. Anne wrote this. How did she get the

54
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: story so quickly? It went out on the wire? We

55
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: live in modern times. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna have to

56
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: go out there and talk to the press. Are you

57
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: canceling classes? I have four I'm supposed to teach today.

58
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: What do I tell my students? Don't do anything yet.

59
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: I'll bring an army on this campus before I let

60
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: this guy up in my town again. Henry, can we

61
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: count on you? I told you I'll do whatever I

62
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: can to help catch him. We know you will. Now,

63
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: let's all go out there and talk to the press together.

64
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Strengthen numbers right, Gee Spencer, why do you think spring

65
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: Hill Jack has come back? At this is point, we

66
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: cannot confirm that this is the work of spring Hill Jack.

67
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Dean Edwards, how is this going to affect the university?

68
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Our class is going to be canceled as of now. UM,

69
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: we're going to increase security on campus. We have not

70
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: made any decisions about our schedule. Our first priorities to

71
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: the students of New Sharon and we will continue to

72
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: make sure they get the best and safest education possible.

73
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I want to thank you all for coming, but that

74
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: is all. I have two questions for Professor Dinon. You

75
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: were here during the first wave of killing. You wrote next,

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: I was on the murders. Why do you think Springhill

77
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: jackal's returning. I have to echo what Chief Spencer said,

78
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: we do not know if this is really spring Heel Jack.

79
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: My second question, since you made a name for yourself

80
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: off of them, are you worried for your safety? My

81
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: safety when it all started. That was the last thing

82
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: on my mind the night they arrested carl Anna Laura

83
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: for Gail Kerman's murder. I remember staying at the Times

84
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: late and and I were probably there until three in

85
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the morning. Nice Reny you too. You're a pretty good editor.

86
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: You know that I don't, but that's nice to hear.

87
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: Be honest, though, you thought we were going to break

88
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: a big story, didn't you. Well, I don't know. This

89
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: is a small New England town. I'm not expecting too much.

90
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: But as far as I'm concerned, we should treat every

91
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: story like it's going to be big. Otherwise, what are

92
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: we doing here? I hadn't thought about it that way.

93
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: That's why I'm the editor and you're not. Cheers to

94
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: a job well done. Do you remember the first time

95
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: we've met? So you asked me out sort of you

96
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: were you were the freshman editor for The Times. I

97
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: submitted an opinion piece. Then I asked you out. I

98
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: don't remember that part. What did I say? Oh? You

99
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: turned me down on both accounts. You were very professional.

100
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have been less professional and and hey,

101
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: you know I'm serious about Rachel. I know, it's just

102
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: what is it? No, my head, it's killing me. Wait

103
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: here here, let me rub your temples. Just stop. Sorry,

104
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: but that's it's not helping. Is there anything I can do? No? Look,

105
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I need to get outside. All right.

106
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: The only anything that helps is just walking fresh air.

107
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: Henry Ship, Oh Jesus, are you all right? Yeah? I

108
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: turned when I heard you didn't see ros. You gotta

109
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: be more careful. I mean, there's a killer on the loose. Man.

110
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: You need some help here, Let me lend your hand.

111
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: Thanks anytime, buddy, No Oneman was there for you think?

112
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Who would do such a thing? Who knows? Sometimes people

113
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: just crack under pressure. I you think about it, Vincent,

114
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: then go what he cut off his ear? Tell me

115
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: that's not cracking under pressure. I can barely follow this

116
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: conversation exactly my point. You can't understand what makes a

117
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: man crack. Van Goh was in love. Sometimes it's the

118
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: little things. He cut his ear off. Who are you

119
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: to judge out a run? Need to grab something to

120
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: eat before I get to sleep. Stay on the path.

121
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to slip and fall. Thanks for the advice.

122
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: Who's that, Rachel? It's me, Henry. It's three in the morning.

123
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Open up, please, Oh my god, you're filthy. What happened?

124
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: I was on my way back from the Times. I

125
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: had a few drinks and the migraines said it and

126
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I tripped on one of those germs. Here's a towel.

127
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: Tut yourself off. Thanks, shop ship. Look at your floor.

128
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: It's a mess. Don't worry about it. I'll deal with

129
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: it in the morning. Are you okay? My head hurts,

130
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: but I'll be okay. No permanent injuries except maybe my pride.

131
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, I've been thinking about it, and your migraines

132
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: might be psychosomatic. What do you mean, remember when we

133
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: talked about emotional memory. Yeah, so I think if we

134
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: can figure out what's triggering your headaches, maybe we can

135
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: help you get rid of them. We just promised me

136
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: we could keep Rachel my girlfriend, separate from Rachel the

137
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: aspiring psychiatrist. I'll do my best, fair enough to be

138
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: honest at this point, I'll try anything. You have some water,

139
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: as far as you remember, you never had migraines before

140
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: your accident, right, No, I didn't. Do you think you

141
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: can try and remember what happened. Are you sure you're

142
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: not forgetting anything. I'll do my best. It was really

143
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: hard to see that night we hit the fog bank.

144
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: It swerved right before we crashed. Mom, Junior, I remember

145
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: crawling along the side of the road. I saw the deer,

146
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: my mom had. It was crippled but still alive. Blood

147
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: was dripping from its mouth, steam puffed from its nose.

148
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: In the cold night air, I worked my way over

149
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: to him. He tried to kick at me, but didn't

150
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: have the strength. I looked it in the eyes. The

151
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: pupils were dilated. All I could see was my reflection

152
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: of pure black. I tried to comfort it. You're okay,

153
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you're good, be okay. It took all of my strength

154
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: and loaded out of its misery. After that, the sirens

155
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: got louder, and all I remember is waking up on

156
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: the kurney. It's awful, Thank God, you're okay. The doctor

157
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: said I had a concussion. That when I went through

158
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the windshield, I damaged my frontal lobe, but nobody was

159
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: sure if there was going to be any permanent damage.

160
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: That's when the migraines started, the insomnia, the bad dreams.

161
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: You're lucky you were able to walk away from something

162
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: like that. Lucky, I guess, so my mom and little

163
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: brother weren't so fortunate. All that matters now is that

164
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: your hair. Come on, let's got some sleep. Good morning,

165
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: good boarding. Whould you sleep pretty good? I don't think

166
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I moved a muscle. That's you're funny. I'm gonna make

167
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: some coffee. It's mar teenth for what is worth. There

168
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: was an arrest overnight of Carl m Laura. He's accused

169
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: of killing Gail Kerman two nights ago in the Animal

170
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: Sciences parking lot across from Shreeve Hall. Hey, Rachel, I

171
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: gotta go. Do you want something to eat? No, I

172
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: gotta get to the paper. They arrested the amur guy

173
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: for the Kerman murder. You're not going to believe this.

174
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: Chelsea got her hands on a copy of the Blue

175
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: support for m Lara. It says here he hasn't confessed

176
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: to anything, and he claims he's innocent. Well it doesn't

177
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: everyone claim they're innocent. If they arrested him, they must

178
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: have something they do. They used with some students in

179
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: his dorm. It turns out he was seen arguing with

180
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: Gail Kerman last month the grinder and get this, they

181
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: just broke up last week. Wait, so that's enough to

182
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: pin a murder on him? People break up on campus

183
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: every day of the week. His roommates said he was

184
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: and I'm quoting here, despondent and the police found a

185
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: seven inch hunting knife and his foot locker under his

186
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: bed again maybe, oh and one more thing, and said

187
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: that foot locker was a picture of Gail Kerman, slice

188
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: to ribbons like a kitty scissor. Class got ahold of

189
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: it and cut it up like a paper doll. Fair enough? Hello,

190
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: right now, what's up? Tean Edwards is calling all students

191
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: back to the quad. Rachel over here. What's this all about? First?

192
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: I want to thank you all for coming on. I

193
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: know we all been through a lot in the past

194
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: few days, and I also want to thank Captin Spencer

195
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: and the new Sharing Police Department from their find Was

196
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: it already the reason I've called you here today? We

197
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: have great news. I'll turn it over to Captain Spencer.

198
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Dean Edwards. As you all may

199
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: have heard, we did apprehend the suspect overnight and feel

200
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: confident that we do. Indeed, you have Gail Kerman's killer

201
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and cousin. Thank god. I feel a little better. I

202
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: feel like I can fath them. And on that note,

203
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: we will be removing the curfew from campus and I

204
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: hope you all can get back to work, put this

205
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: behind you and study forbid terms with a little luck

206
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: the weather, we'll start to break two in the meantime.

207
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Thank you all for coming, and please remember to look

208
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: out for each other. It's like working out from a nightmare.

209
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I need a drink.

210
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: Let head to the grinder and have a few years.

211
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: Here you go eat. I don't want any food tonight.

212
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I think we're all set from now. Thanks, here's the

213
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: feeling safe again. I have to admit I do feel better.

214
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: This whole thing is so hard to leave. Honestly, who

215
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: would do something like that? Can you imagine? Almost have

216
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: trusted him, spent time with him, and then he goes

217
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: and does that. It's crazy. And to think he used

218
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: to work here. I just don't get it. I guess

219
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: you never know what someone is thinking or when they

220
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: might crack. Henry, he didn't just crack, he butchered her.

221
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: I know, but look, you're the psych major. Look around.

222
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: It's a sign of the times. JFK. Civil rights violence

223
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: is everywhere. Maybe the pressure just Scott, what have we here?

224
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Just ignore them? It looks like someone is getting her

225
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: civil rights. Do you mind? Oh? I don't mind at all.

226
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you go back to your beers? We're not

227
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: bothering you, Actually you are. I think it's better if

228
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: you just go somewhere else. Maybe go to the park

229
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: or the zoo. What the fund did you just say?

230
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: You heard him, Henry? Don't Yeah, Henry, you don't want

231
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: to get hurt in front of your girlfriend. Oh look,

232
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: he has a knife. What are you gonna do with that?

233
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll use it on you? Say one world word.

234
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: Come on, Henry, let's just go. Hey, hut the knife down. Yeah, Henry,

235
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: put the knife down before someone gets hurt, because it's

236
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna be you good thinking. Let's go. What were

237
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: you going to do with that knife? Yeah? I don't know,

238
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: probably cut myself. But I wasn't going to let them

239
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: talk to you like that. I'm sorry. They have no

240
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: right to speak to you that way. You like my

241
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: night and shining Armor? Come on, go back to my place.

242
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: It's like it's about four. We hurried back to Rachel's apartment.

243
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: Now that I think about it, I don't know what

244
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I would have done to those guys in the grind

245
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: or that night. I just know my blood was boiling.

246
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: If Rachel wasn't there, I'm not sure what would have happened.

247
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: But thank god she was. I could have ended up

248
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: in jail or worse dead. I fell asleep at Rachel's

249
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: place that night, but it didn't last long. My head

250
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: started to hurt. It could have been the argument in

251
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: the bar. It could have been a million things. Either way,

252
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: I knew I was gonna need some fresh air. I

253
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: was quiet, I always am. I didn't want to wake her.

254
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Rachel always looked so peaceful when she slept. She was

255
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: always so calm and relaxed, even in the presence of

256
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: full blown racism. I was jealous that her inner peace

257
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: eluded me. I could hear the trees rustling in the wind.

258
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: When I looked out, all I could see was fog, white, impenetrable.

259
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: I got dressed and slipped out of the department. It's

260
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: the lat show with me, d JN. It's been a

261
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: lot to handle the past few days. Year and New Sharon.

262
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: I had one of those portable radios back then, the

263
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: kind with the one ear piece and almost fit in

264
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: your ear. As strange as it was, it was good

265
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: to hear a familiar voice, and for some reason, Kevin

266
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: never bothered my head in this. Let me take a

267
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: request and I'd help you forget about your troubles. So

268
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: here's anything you want to hear. Give me a ring.

269
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: I'll do I best to play it for you. In

270
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: the meantime, there's something new for you to check out.

271
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: When I can't sleep, when my insomnia and migraine sit in,

272
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: I walk. I've been doing it for years, just so

273
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: now taking the night air and try to relax. Breathing

274
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: in the fog. It's like an out of body experience.

275
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: The myths seems to creep into every pore. I can

276
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: just forget about everything and let my mind wander. It

277
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: was a long forty eight hours since they found Gail

278
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: Kerman's body. I was fried. I started those two days

279
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: with a hangover, and by the time that was over,

280
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: I felt like a freight train had driven through my head.

281
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, the fog was pretty thick that night,

282
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: and sure not without realize in it, I found myself

283
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: right back at the Animal Science It's parking lot. Long

284
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: request you were out there, no matter, remember your mother

285
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: her money? Yeah. The police tape was wet, almost slippery.

286
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: I tried to imagine what Gail Kerman's last moments must

287
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: have been like. Walking to her car, and Laura coming

288
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: up from behind her, the violence and brutality of the

289
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: knife tearing through her coat, ripping at her skin. The

290
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: snow was running off, dripping down the embankment. I got

291
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: distracted by a couple under the street light. I couldn't

292
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: see their faces, just the outline of their shadows. The

293
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: radio was playing and seemed to be getting louder and

294
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: louder like I couldn't turn it off. Between that and

295
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: the dripping water, the footsteps, the footsteps, I couldn't lower

296
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: the volume. My head was splitting. I've been thinking about

297
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: that foggy night when I walked past all those shadows.

298
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: I remember my mouth being dry and the fog being thick,

299
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: but I can't seem to remember much else. And Samnia

300
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: will do that to you though, make you walking zombie.

301
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: The only saving grace was that there was no reason

302
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: to be alarmed. Emma Laura, the new Sharon Killer was

303
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: in custody, which is probably why no one on campus
