WEBVTT - Chapter 5: Snow Angels 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.560 You were listening to Strawberry Spring, based on a short 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:32.000 story by Stephen King. Wusk again in the money. Good morning, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.000 Rise and shine, New Sharon nights. It's cold and foggy 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.800 out there. Reminds me of my college jays, and we'd 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.120 sit around and talk about Strawberry Spring. Well, here we 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.959 are in the March nineteen seventy six, and we are 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.360 knee deep in it in honor of the dog out there. 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:53.760 Here's a new I got it. Hello, Henry, I'd like 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.840 you to meet me at the station as soon as possible. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.000 And Brad just arrived, and I want to talk to 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.640 the both of you about spring Hill. Jack went Ant's 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.440 in town. Yes, I asked her to come. Do of 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.440 you know this guy better than anyone. How soon can 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:11.360 you be here? How about ten? Wow? I can't believe 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.000 he called Anne. He must be pretty desperate to rely 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.039 on us, but I guess he can't afford a repeat 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.440 of last time, None of us can. I haven't seen 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.520 an since we graduated. Meeting at the police station seems 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.280 like a good idea. I can be pretty sure Jack 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.720 won't try anything there, and it's not like I have 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:37.080 a choice. M h, Hey, how are you feeling thank 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:43.560 and pregnant. It was on the phone, Chief Spencer, and 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.640 he asked me to come to the station. I said, yes, 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.240 what do you think i'd say? But your wife didn't 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.320 want you involved. I don't want to be involved. But 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.160 it's not like I have a choice. You've never deal. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.880 There's something else you should know what? He called Anne Pray. Yes, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.360 she's in town. She's going to meet me there too. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.799 You know what, I don't don't even care one more thing. 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.400 I need your car today. Mine won't start perfect way 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.880 to start the day. I'm gonna go finish cutting all 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.160 my makeup, just strop me off at the office. I'm 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.320 just gonna get some papers out of my car. I'll 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:35.320 be right back. Now that it's light out, it's easier 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.639 to see the car. As much as I was expecting 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.200 a bloody murder scene, it's not as bad as I thought. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.560 Maybe I should clean off the blood. But what if 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.480 there's evidence. If Rachel finds out Springley old Jack was 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.239 this close, she'll lose her mind. Fuck, she's right, he's 0:02:54.280 --> 0:03:00.200 already taken over my life. Where is it? Ah, there 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.000 it is. I'll cover up for now with a moon blanket, 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.160 I'd hate to know there was a fingerprint I messed up. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.360 As long as I leave the car here, I won't 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.400 be driving the murder sing across the Tanna, and that 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.400 would buy me suitime to think, at least until I 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:22.800 know what I'm dealing with. Are you ready? Yeah, let's go. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:44.520 M the entire way to her office, Rachel has instead 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.680 of were I know she's angry. I still look glance 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.440 here and there, and when she wasn't looking, she's just 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.560 staring straight ahead. I don't blame her. She doesn't have 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.600 to be psychic to know. Going to the police station 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.840 is only going to give me in deeper. We have 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.119 so much history together, and spring heel Jack hangs over 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.920 all of it like a shadow. At least I've learned 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.680 you can't have a shadow without light. Rachel provides that 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:20.200 for me. Yeah, you never learned mistakes. That's not true. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:27.240 You ever learned from me? That might be true. Pulling 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.160 up to the police station is strange. I haven't been 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.960 here since the last go around. Thank god. I haven't 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.360 had a reason. Something about the cops. Maybe it's the 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.880 bad taste they left in my mouth, and its sixties, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:44.240 but I'm not thrilled to hang out with the press 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.600 is staked out in a little corner of the parking lot. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.920 I'm grateful they don't seem to notice me. I don't 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.320 think they know my car, but if anyone was looking forward, 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:59.760 it's a small bonus that I took Rachel's ride. Walking 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.359 the and I quickly realized there are some places that 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.400 have a certain smell. They're not the kind of smells 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.240 you can even describe to someone, but when you smell them, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.279 you instantly remember where you were and how you felt 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.640 the first time. The police station smelled accurate, like someone 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.919 found something that had gone bad and a refrigerator and 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.839 tried to cover up with too much bleach. I think 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.080 Rachel would chalk that up to emotional memory, which made 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.880 me smirk. Maybe I did learn something from her, after all, 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.880 not enough to stay away. Walking through the familiar hallways, 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.080 the green and white checkered linoleum reminded me of Alice 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.080 in Wonderland. It all made sense in some fucked up way. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.880 The spring heel Jack is the red Queen. He isn't 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.080 only shouting off with their heads, He's carrying out the 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.599 orders himself. I passed a handful of officers on my 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.880 way to Chief Spencer's office. I wasn't a welcome sight. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.640 I nodded their way and said hello. They did nod back. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.560 Standing outside she Spencer's office, I could see through glass 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.160 Anne was already waiting inside. I was about to knock, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:15.440 but realized, damn it, I need a minute. I was 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.160 swearing the standing outside the door, and I went from 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.760 excitement to dread in a single second. I haven't seen 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.839 Anne in years. To see her now saying hello and smiling. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.760 The last time I saw her was when I told 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.240 her I sold the book. She wasn't smiling then. Seeing 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.839 her now, I'm hoping the old adage, it's it's right 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:44.200 and tiny heels all wounds. I mean, hi, Henry, you 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.200 look good. That was a lie. She looked great. She 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.960 was beautiful. She had really come into her own and 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.560 became a woman. She definitely wasn't the college girl. I 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:01.000 remember you look good too. Marriage agrees with you, i'd 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.640 like to think. So I hate to break this reunion up, 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.040 but I called you both here for a reason. Sit alright, Look, 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:10.960 I'm not going to dance around this spring heel Jack 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.640 is back. We have at least one confirmed victim, and 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.160 as far as I'm concerned, you two have blood on 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.320 your hands, especially you Henry. You took money for writing 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.480 your book blood money. Look, we didn't ask for him 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.720 to kill on our campus, but he did. All we 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.040 do is report on it. That's right. We were just 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.800 doing our jobs, following the story you made Spring heel 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.800 Jack famous household name. You both meddled in the first investigation. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.520 Don't think I forgot cost my daughter her life against 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.360 my better judgment, I'm asking for your help. I tried 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.360 to play down. I was sure Spring heel Jack was back. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.920 Who else would visit me last night? Do you have 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.840 any suspects? Take a look. Do you remember John Dancy, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:58.400 the sophomore who found Gail Kerman. Didn't you investigate him 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.280 in six eight? Yeah, he was a person of interest. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.240 Almost everyone on that campus was investigated at one point 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:08.360 or another. Here's his file. Mhm. I know he went 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:12.000 getting on. Yeah. After he dropped out of college, he 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:17.600 was drafted dishonorable discharge. Turns out he was hooked on drugs, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.960 bounced in and out of jail for some petty crimes, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.040 but also had a history of violence. But Spring Heeled Jack, 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.520 why the hell not. While he did his tour spring 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.040 Hill Jack didn't kill But look at this Dancey got discharged. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:36.120 Now he's out and Jack is back. The timing seems 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.880 about right, it does, doesn't it. He knew Chelsea they 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.240 had classes together. I had new Sharon pulled the nineteen 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.760 six class roster and schedule. Look are we sure it's 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.680 not a coincidence? How do we know if it's even Jack? 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.880 Can't it just be a copycat? Does this look like 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.800 the work of a copycat? I saw what he was holding, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.040 and it caught me off guard. I could few of 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.199 my heart beating through my chest. I tried to swallow, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.520 but I couldn't. Must hear any spit. It was a 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.360 plastic bag with half a torn letter inside, like familiar. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.840 Oh my god. That's when I knew, even if I 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:18.160 had any doubts, he was right. This was definitely the 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.400 work of Springheel Jack. I made a copy of the 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.680 spring Hill Jack file. I'd appreciate it. If you both 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:28.200 take a look, we will. But this seems unorthodox. Why 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.080 not put detectives on this? I can, and I will. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.040 But this isn't just a case. It's person you You 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:40.400 knew Chelsea. These officers around here, they never got a 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:53.480 chance to meet her. Yea, God, I haven't been to 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.160 the Grinders since I graduated. It's like a snapshot in time. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.760 The place hasn't changed that how stood isn't as good 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.400 as I remembered. Dad hasn't changed a bit either. What 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.240 has changed is you now know the food and Boston. 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.400 It's better than we share it. You're probably right, so 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.559 how you being? I've been following your career some pretty 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.880 impressive journalism there. Thanks. I'm proud of the work I've done. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.840 Married h No, I came close a couple of times, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:31.520 but I've never found the right person. I'm a career girl. 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.040 I realized a long time ago. I can have it 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.959 both ways. The story always comes first. It's hard to 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.599 find someone that wants to wait up all hours of 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.480 the night for you to make a deadline. Right, So 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.400 are we going to make bullshit small talk all night? 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:46.880 We're going to do this. We need to clear there. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.360 What do you mean, Henry? We were in it together, 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.720 you and I we were a team, and you know what, 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.000 people who worked together the way we did don't screw 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.280 each other over. You're right, I fun death. I was 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.120 young and blew it. You were one of my closest friends, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:09.520 and at the time the book deal, it just seemed 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.679 like my way out and at the moment, that's all 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:16.360 I could see a way out. I just I just 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.200 want to apologize. I know you were really upset that 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.239 I wrote the book without telling you. It wasn't intentional. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.040 It became an obsession. When they didn't catch spring heel Jack. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.720 I felt like if I wrote the book, somehow, somehow, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.319 it all makes sense exactly, but it didn't. Didn't know 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:39.640 the book was a hit, but it took a massive 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.680 toll on my life. My relationships suffered. Rachel and I 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.800 almost split. It left me with writer's block. So that's why. Yeah, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.959 that's why I went into teaching new Sharon offered me 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.640 a position I couldn't turn it down. Made a nice 0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:00.560 headline for the board. Prodigal son returns to his academic roots. 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.680 There's nothing wrong with that. It's good to give it back. 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.720 I wish that's how I felt, not get it back. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.880 I'm taking They're going to be a father. That's amazing. Yeah, 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.000 it is, isn't it. I'm happy for you. Everything's still 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:22.440 good with Rachel. Yeah, we eloped after the book came out. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.920 Her father still wasn't on board with her marrying a 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.960 white guy. At the time, it seemed like the best 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.040 idea eventually came around, especially when I had a best 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.600 seller on the New York Times list. What could possibly 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.240 go wrong? That's what I thought? So are we good? 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.760 I we'll have to boiler makers just like old times. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.160 I hate to change the subject, but can we talk 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.280 about cheef Spencer? He seemed a little unhinged today. I'm 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.440 sure this is hard for him to handle. Don't you 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.440 remember what it was like when she disappeared? It was 0:12:55.520 --> 0:13:01.320 pretty awful. Two boiler makers? Anything else over good? Thanks? 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:12.000 I remember what happened to Chelsea like it was yesterday. Hey, Henry, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.559 this just came for you. Thanks. Where did it come from? 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.960 No idea. It was sitting on the front steps when 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.160 I walked in. I was at my desk when I 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:25.360 received my first care package. It wasn't an homeloone. It 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.080 was a brown cardboard shot box. I picked it up 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.800 and didn't realize at first the bottoms wet, But when 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.480 I looked down, I saw the dark red drops of 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:42.440 blood that dripped onto my pants. Ship and get over here. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.240 What is it? The two of us looked at each other. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.360 We didn't know what to do at first. Is that 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.200 an envelope? On heard? Yeah, it's not all here. It's 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:53.880 been torn in half. It looks like I had the 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.079 left side. Half of the writing is missing. Can you 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.280 make out what it says? I'm not sure, Hope in 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:04.040 the box, it's a hand. It was the left hand 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.520 of a woman, neatly chopped off at the wrist. Oh 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:12.480 my god, no, the ring I know that ring and 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.160 knew right away on the middle finger was a peace 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.520 sign ring. What we didn't know was across town at 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:25.080 the police station. Captain Spencer got a match in ox. Yeah, 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:31.000 this just came for you. Just put it on my desk. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:36.160 Is this what is this? Is this a joke? Je? 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.120 By the time he opened the letter, he found out 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:44.800 what we already knew. Chelsea was dead. We had each 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.720 received the one hand. The letter was torn in half, 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.120 but it wasn't hard to figure out the meeting. The 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.960 left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.800 In other words, we had no idea what was going 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.520 on or what we were up against. Spring Leo Jack 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.560 was just messing with us now and he took out 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.120 Chelsea in the process. He knew she was the one 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:10.320 person that would upset us and angered the cops. Mission accomplished. 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.560 Why did he contact you, Henry? I don't know. They 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.280 have to assume he's been reading the paper. I talked 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.440 to Captain Spencer. How is he not good? I don't 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.800 think it's set in yet, but he's more determined than 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.280 ever to catch the son of a bitch. Now we're 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.720 gonna do whatever we can to help. What do you 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.520 too know so far? We left Chelsea last night. We 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.640 had no idea. I know that no one blames you. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.960 Are we sure it's Did they find her? This is 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.360 the first time we found out someone was well, you know, 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.440 before there was a body. No but New Sharon's finest. 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:58.360 They're combing this campus like nobody's business. But her murderers, 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:02.520 like the others. The bodies somewhere on the grounds. Dean 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.720 Edwards was right, it was only a matter of time. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.440 Because of the overnight snowfall, Chelsea's remains have been lightly 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:16.720 dusted with a foot of shallow snow over here. I 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:25.720 think I found something. Oh my god, when I think 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.440 of it now, how they found her? It's even more terrifying. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.400 Chelsea had been forced to make a snow into her 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.320 hands must have already been severed, because the streaks of 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.280 frozen blood left behind gave the top portion of her 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.160 body a pair of bloody ways. You have a situation. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.680 We need back up. We need a tech fraternity house 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.560 a six street entrance. Come quick. As usual, the m 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.480 O stayed the same, she had been decapitated. At this 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.320 time it was different Springfield. Jack drew a bloody halo 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.160 where her head should have been. It was sadistic and 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.640 now it was some ball against some twist, that sort 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.520 of the imagery. We didn't know if it was Jack's 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.800 way of saint Chelsea went to heaven, or if he 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.520 was just getting sicker. One thing we did know, he 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:19.480 was getting more violent. H it's cold out. Can we 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:27.680 go inside? Henry? Sorry, I was just thinking about a 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:33.160 snow angel. He saw us, Rachel, he was watching. Can 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.919 you imagine how Captain Spencer is feeling right now? Do 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.920 you think it's safe to even be out here? You 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:45.000 could be watching us right now. Come on, let's go 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:52.080 inside for what it's worth. I hope Captain Spencer takes 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.960 some time off. I feel awful for him. I really 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.880 like Chelsea. I know I did too. Dean Edwards said 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.200 he wasn't going to but he was more determined than 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.040 ever to find Jack. I don't think that sounds very healthy. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.080 I don't disagree, but he's lost his daughter. Who were 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.240 we to tell him not to find her killer? I 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:18.280 know you're the psyche major, but it might be the 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.320 only way he's going to get past this. I hope 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:26.840 he finds the guy. I'm exhausted me too. Today was 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.920 almost too much to take. Let's get some sleep. I 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.880 have early classes in the morning. Okay, if you can 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.399 try not to wake me. I pretended to go to sleep. 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.840 Rachel and I had have been getting along around this time. 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.800 Things were tense, but one thing we could agree on 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.040 was the only way Captain Specter was going to get 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.680 past this or get any closure was to find springing 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.280 old Jack. It was probably his only hope. What we 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.320 didn't know then, and what I was about to find doubt, 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.359 is that he was going to get a second chance, 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.520 and God help anyone that stood in his way. That 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.840 included John Dancy, the sophomore who found Gail Kerman's body. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.080 It turns out he knew Gail, Charlotte, and even Chelsea. 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.679 It was a small school, so there were a lot 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.879 of people that knew all three. The only difference was 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.200 he found the first body. He was now what they 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.439 call a person of interest, and Captain Spencer had to 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.119 take no prisoner's approach, depending this on him, no matter 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:47.320 what the collateral damage. M Good morning, New Sharon. Night's 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.040 not much good about today. He might have heard another 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.520 student was murdered twenty four hours ago. I have to 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.520 ask you what kind of a world do we live 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.920 in when leaders are assassinated, students are murdered, and killers 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:08.159 roamed free. Humph, Henry, I'm talking to you. Police are 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.199 on campus today. They're looking for anyone they can, so 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.800 be careful out there, and they keep they have their batons, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.200 and they are just itching for a reason to bash 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:21.480 someone's head in. So here's one from what the fuck? 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.600 I know? I was up all night, but was I delirious? 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.080 Rachel told me once that for every twenty four hours 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:33.720 were sleep deprived, you lose some cognitive ability. Is that 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:41.400 what's happening? The cold shower always wakes me up. Rachel's 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.720 place was so old it didn't matter if I want 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.600 a hot shower when it's snowed out. I didn't have 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.800 any options. I stood there in the shower and thanking. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.600 The icy water running up my body. For some reason 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.880 didn't bother me. It was like watching someone else take 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.520 a freezing cold shower, like an out of audience variance. 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:03.919 I didn't have any new answers, and I didn't know 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.200 why I thought any would come to me. I told off, 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.000 it's not the rest of the day at my place. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.879 Chelsea's death hit me a little harder than I thought. 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.880 I can't remember how many beers I had that day. 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.600 I guess it was like I was holding my own 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.920 memorial service for Chelsea. I was twenty two years old. 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.879 When you're twenty two, you're not supposed to be figuring 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.320 out how to more. There was a campus wide search 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:37.959 for Chelsea's body. It disrupted everything. Dean Edwards wanted to 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:42.119 close the campus, but now Captain Spencer insisted classes continued. 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.919 He was worried he might lose the trail of the 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:55.119 killer if everyone dispersed. Hello found her what where? He 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.560 placed her head on the crown of Rontein Edward's office 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.760 once the snow thought he actually saw from his window 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.440 that was one more note. What did say? I said 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:06.240 everyone wants to go to heaven and no one wants 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:12.080 to die. Jesus, that's fucking creepy. Her eyes refers an 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.520 open just staring straight at him. That's not all. The 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.440 police picked up John dancing, and from what I heard, 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.639 they wrapped him up a bit. Got to help him 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:27.840 if he did it. M hm. So I know this 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.760 isn't under the best of circumstances, but it's nice to 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:36.840 see you. And yeah, it's been way too long for 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.560 what it's worth. I'd like to apologize when I did 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.080 with the book. I got it. Lord knows, I've tried. Yeah, 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.320 I can't. I feel bad about how the whole thing 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.879 went down. You wrote most of the stories, I know, 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.720 but she was signed them when the publisher reached out, 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.760 and she had said sometime maybe. But that was then 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.440 and this is now. And to be honest, I'm happy 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.760 with my career. Let's want apology you every eight years 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.080 is enough for me. Who knows that I've been a 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.040 part of that craziness back then. I might have gotten 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:09.399 stuck here too. I'm sorry, Henry, I didn't mean it 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.560 that way. No, you're right, I am stuck. I haven't 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.399 written anything since then. I lost my publishing deal, and 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.600 before I knew it, I got myself tied up teaching 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.840 students at Knew Sharon how to write instead of doing 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.800 it myself. What's that saying? Which one those that can't 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.400 do teach? You're being too hard on yourself. You wrote 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:30.440 a good book. It's soul not everyone can say that. 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.800 Wait a minute, I got an idea. Spring heel Jack 0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:39.159 has presented us with a new opportunity, meaning you and 0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:43.720 I we'll write the follow up. Oh, Henry, I I 0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.159 don't know. I'm just here as a courtesy, and you 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.080 can't tell me. A part of you didn't hate me 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.240 for getting published. Okay, a small part of me hated 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.800 I knew it. You're so full of shit. Let me 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.200 make it right. We're already part of the investigation here. 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:07.320 We already have something to go on. What is this, Jesus, Henry, 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.520 this is fucking serious. Why didn't you show this as 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.640 chief Spencer he reached out to. It's elite. No, no, 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:17.320 it's evidence. It's only evidence if it's real. It looks 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.080 pretty real to me. There's a dead girl, then let's 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:23.800 prove it. I'll make you a deal. They haven't found 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.920 the missing girl's head yet. We know the first time 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.399 Jack sent a letter, he tore it in half and 0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:33.159 buried Chelsea's head in front of Dean Edward's office. If 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.240 you come with me right now, I'll turn the letter 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:38.800 over to the police. Why don't we have one more 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.119 drink and go down to campus and see if we 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.680 can't dig up some evidence. I'm not drunk enough for that. 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.080 Yes you are. No, I'm not, Yes you are. I 0:24:48.119 --> 0:25:01.040 can't do that, Yes you can. They see out here, 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.920 just watch your step, say going to be a dad, 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.320 That's what they tell me. Are you excited? And I 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:11.800 think so. I'm just hoping I don't screw the kid up. 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.280 And I'm sure you want having a kid. It's a 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.600 lot of responsibility. So much of a life is out 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.879 of your control. What do you mean Look at us 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:25.840 right now. Someone's daughter was murdered and we're looking in 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.600 the same place someone else's daughter was murdered eight years ago. 0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:37.080 Some things are left to face that. And are we 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:40.680 are we bad people? You sure we're in the right places? 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:44.160 Thought keean Edward's office, And I think so. It's hard 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.320 to tell what the fog and the lights off ship. 0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.080 Are you okay? Yeah? I tripped over something. Can you 0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:55.480 feel anything? Just shining the flashlight over here? Ship? Not 0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:59.800 in my eyes on the ground. I sorry, right right about. 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:04.600 I don't know. I soakered up quick. It didn't take 0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:07.720 long for us to find her, the top of her 0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:11.960 head shutting up just above the ground, her eyes wide 0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:15.000 and open when the light hit them. I prayed her 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:18.320 pupils with dialing and she crawled about out of the snow. 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:23.320 We have to call the police. It's him. You're not 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.359 watching about it? Spring? Heel Jack was definitely back, And 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.080 now I know he's been watching. In fact, in the 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.760 eight years since this started, I'm worried he may have 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:54.880
