💬 Zodiac (2007)

A 1966 Southern California murder,

A cartoonist has succeeded.

A George Waters?

A gun?

A history teacher and his wife in Salinas.

A hug?

A little.

A married couple who like puzzles.

A match'll get us farther on the warrants.

A public park, you'll find kids in a brown car.

A shame about the show.

A tip about a mysterious film canister?

A typewritten confession was sent to the Riverside Press Enterprise

A woman outside of Modesto, might be a Zodiac victim.

A year and a half before it appeared in any letter.

About 90 an hour. I'm up to around 500.

About a month ago, a man showed up on my doorstep very distraught.

About a year ago, in the paper, there was a story about the Zodiac.

About how to attach a flashlight to the barrel of a gun.

Absolutely.

After he left, I went to see that social worker.

After he left, then I checked my files.

Afterwards, I told my wife I didn't wanna see him again.

Al, this man is talking about shooting 12 people.

Al's on the phone with the Examiner.

All circumstantial.

All due respect, can someone explain to me

All I'm authorized to tell you

All of them.

All of us should stand up together and say, "No more. "

All right, people, listen up.

All right, so you're on Jackson going west.

All right, this can no longer be ignored.

All right.

All right. All right. Let's go wake up Melvin.

All right. So he's taking a leak.

All right. So, either way,

All right. Thanks for coming down, Bryan.

All the defense would have to do is call Sherwood to the stand.

Allen gets out. He types you an apology, and then what?

Allen is similar in height, weight and build

Allen lives in Vallejo with his mother in her basement.

Allen was in the Navy. Wears a size 10 and a half.

Allen wears a watch that bears both the word and crosshair symbol.

Allen works as a chemist.

Also probably you wanna pull the Chron from...

Also the print in the cab. No match was ever found.

Also, our guy is a pervert.

Also, that day when I came home, my neighbor saw me.

Am I being unkind?

Amber from Oakland, what do you think?

Americans admire the United Kingdom...

Among these photographs.

And a couple of weeks later, she was dead.

And a pair of black gloves.

And call himself Zodiac to mess with them.

And call Mulanax in Vallejo.

And Darlene told me to stay away from him.

And finish at least half of what's on that plate.

And go work for the Sacramento Bee.

And he gave himself a name.

And he is storing some film canisters for him.

And he knew Darlene.

And he mentioned Zodiac to Cheney

And he said that you might be able to help.

And he said, "It would be easy

And he wipes them off.

And he's done it before.

And his family discovers that he's a pedophile.

And how did you kill your victims?

And I did, too.

And I don't want him hitting the accelerator

And I haven't since.

And I told him you were gonna be here.

And if I was, I certainly wouldn't tell you.

And if Zodiac knew Darlene, then maybe Mageau knows Zodiac.

And in each case the killer...

And it all comes back. I tried to call the local cops.

And it's typewritten.

And just sat in a chair all by himself all night long.

And man is the most dangerous animal of all?

And maybe she can tell me who this mystery man is.

And muses that his life and times would make the best movie script yet.

And neither hand matches.

And not running this might make him do that.

And one night they throw this painting party.

And one to Darlene's father in law. Just heavy breathing.

And people have seen Allen with ciphers in the past.

And Phil Tucker told us about a conversation that he had with Allen

And picking off the little darlings.

And Riverside's telling me I'm on a snipe hunt!

And see how he reacts.

And several hundred thousand Vietnamese...

And since they think the whole word is "kill" then...

And so he wrote a couple of anonymous letters

And that will be all for the news on the 20.

And that?

And the Department's own David Toschi by name.

And the Oakland Army Terminal Library.

And the one to Cheri Jo Bates' father

And then he hangs up.

And then I was thinking that nobody knows the case better than you.

And there was no way of getting Allen into court in the first place,

And they continue until you go to see him at work.

And this is the first mention of Kathleen Johns. That's very weird.

And this is three minutes after the shooting?

And this was before anyone in the family knew that Darlene had been shot.

And three, cut this nonsense out.

And was fired for molestation in March, April '68.

And we ask the public not to call in, so that the Zodiac himself can reach us.

And we could search the place properly.

And we expect a break in the case very soon.

And we should have been in on the handwriting.

And what did this expert tell you?

And what did you tell this officer?

And what do we get?

And what's a painting party?

And what's the one word that we know that he'll use in here, at least once?

And when is it gonna be finished?

And why did you want to talk to Mr. Bailey?

And you can't buy at a PX without a military ID,

And you got symbols from at least seven different sources.

And you just freaked out the entire state.

And you need to look at this.

And you received a Halloween card...

And you're not going to the gas chamber.

And you're sure the conversation you had about Zodiac

And you're the only one on it, right?

And you're willing to swear to this, under oath, in Superior Court?

Animal crackers?

Another cipher.

Another letter.

Anything that the Zodiac has been doing.

Anything that you see that's relevant, you got to remember in your head.

Anything?

Anyway, you got shoes on. This is perfect right here.

Are there other guys you should be looking at?

Are these windows bulletproof?

Are you coming or not?

Are you done? Can I go?

Are you going to arrest him?

Are you kidding?

Are you okay?

Are you planning to publish?

Are you ready to order yet?

Are you sure there's nobody else in the house?

Arthur Leigh Allen was born on December 18th.

As far as I'm concerned, he should stay out.

As governor, I pledge to use all my influence

As in, today.

As soon as he got out, he split.

Asking for the character to be brought back.

Asking to be put in charge of the Zodiac investigation?

At least an eight.

At least once a week?

Back up. Is this Vallejo story true? Do we know that?

Ballistics, everything he said in the letters matched.

Ballistics, no match. Prints, no match. Writing, no match.

Be able to make a case against their suspect because of you?

Because everybody's moved off Allen as a suspect.

Because he couldn't get through to me on the Dunbar show or here.

Because he happens to have an M 1 rifle here in the closet.

Because he knew that you were on to him.

Because he was tired of hunting animals,

Because he's in it for the press.

Because I actually thought it was him, or I just want all this to be over.

Because I saw it on TV.

Because I'm not interested in upping my circulation.

Because of the Vallejo file,

Because she'll be able to identify Rick...

Because the two kids that got killed last Christmas were Solano's.

Because there are differing schools of thought on this.

Because there was no evidence, Robert.

Because there's all these medieval ones.

Because we got handwriting from both his hands.

Because when they finally did run his prints,

Been a year and a half, you gonna catch this fucking guy or not?

Been thinking about it for a while. I can buy that.

Before I kill you,

Berryessa murder. On the day that the two kids were stabbed

Better start with Vallejo, Jack Mulanax.

Between one of the Zodiac attacks and that film.

Between the 18th and the 20th of December, and I just need...

Between you and me?

Beyond that, you're on your own.

Bill Armstrong.

Bill.

Blow over?

Boot prints to and from the crime scene

Both hands would have commonalities.

Boy lived, the girl didn't. Again.

Business as usual.

But a chiropractor stopped them a week ago.

But at some point,

But David did not write that letter.

But didn't think he looked like a killer so he didn't like him for Z.

But finish this.

But he also said that she had a lot of admirers

But he said he wasn't gonna announce his murders anymore, Dave.

But he writes the Zodiac letters with his right hand

But he's a handwriting expert nonetheless, and he's saying,

But he's dead.

But how do you go from "A" is one and "B" is two

But I couldn't be positive.

But I didn't follow it after those first reports.

But I got to tell you, I like this guy.

But I have no occasion to correspond with him these days.

But I think that Marshall knew Darlene, and I can't talk to Mageau or Linda,

But I think the bigger problem is that the papers shouldn't have printed

But I thought that code they printed didn't look very Christian.

But it always arrives with it.

But it was in the victim's blood.

But it was written by the very man

But lumbering Caucasian with a crew cut is right on.

But maybe Melvin Belli could.

But not for Leigh, right.

But not for Rick Marshall.

But Sherwood says it's a match, right?

But still, nobody knows where to find her.

But the moves themselves remain unaltered.

But then I found a code written in the Middle Ages.

But this is an open police investigation.

But today, where those agencies had failed,

But we're pretty sure it's him.

But which ones can we actually confirm?

But, in my opinion, you guys came south for nothing.

Cabbie's been shot three blocks from the Presidio.

Calmer.

Can I give you a piece of advice?

Can I have a word with you?

Can I help you?

Can you help me or not?

Can you send us everything that you have?

Can't help you.

Chairman Mao died today...

Cheers.

Cheney says Allen owns several firearms. We'll list them in the warrant.

Cheri Jo Bates attended Riverside Community College.

Chief's pulling everybody off buses.

Christ, kid.

Christmas, two teenagers on lover's lane. Both DOA.

Claims to have uncovered new information

Close the door, there's rodents running around.

Close the door.

Come in.

Come on.

Confirmation tonight,

Confirmed. VPD, they confirmed the shootings.

Consonant?

Cooperation, that's us, at all costs.

Could be. Or maybe he just likes the attention.

Could have been one of the bystanders,

Could he possibly have written those letters with his other hand?

Could snuff me out at a moment's notice.

Could very well be. We'll dust it at the Hall.

Couple days after this article came out.

Couple times. We went fishing by Putah Creek near there.

Couple years back, I was trying to get Marshall's prints.

Coupled with Cheney...

Crackers.

Cradle of civilization. Fascinating people. Beautiful. Savage.

Create an information clearinghouse

Crew cut, stocky, and wearing a dark jacket.

Dad?

Damn it.

Dangerous animal.

Dare to dream, right, Robert?

Darlene Ferrin was being followed.

Dave Toschi. Nice to meet you.

Dave, come on.

Dave, I got a gun. Check that. Two guns.

Dave, just one thing. Is it true they got a print off the cab?

Dave, looks like he wiped the cab down pretty good.

Dave, you know Mel Nicolai. He's working the case for Justice.

Dave!

Dave! Dave!

Dave! He made a mistake!

Dave! It's Robert!

Dave! That Harry Callahan did a hell of a job with your case.

Dave? Hey. Hi.

Dave.

Dave. I want a gun.

David Faraday and Betty Jensen.

David got a kick out of it

Dear Lord, do you ever clean this car?

Decided it looked nothing like the Z letters, so they just moved on.

Described him as a white male, glasses,

Designed to walk on the wings of planes.

Did Allen screw his wife or anything?

Did Cheney have anything against Allen?

Did he say they got a print?

Did I give him this address? Who's got the fare book?

Did you and Mr. Cheney have a chance

Did you attempt to call one other time

Did you get my note?

Did you guys narrow your list off of this?

Did you remember what he looked like?

Did you stop him?

Did you talk to him?

Didn't leave a number.

Dispatch, this is 43L2, heading south on Knoxville Road.

Do I know you?

Do you always go around helping people in the night?

Do you have any change?

Do you have blackouts?

Do you have health problems?

Do you have it with you?

Do you have to make a phone call?

Do you know that more people die in the East Bay commute

Do you know what the chances of us arresting someone are now?

Do you know what the worst part of this is?

Do you remember his name?

Do you remember the Zodiac?

Do you think he saw the film in our theater and was inspired?

Do you think you need medical care?

Do you want a drink? I don't have anything blue, but I got...

Do you want me to do that, Sam?

Do you want me to talk to the District Attorney?

Does anyone ever call me names, or...

Does he have any alibis?

Does it bother you that people call you a retard?

Does it ever bother you that people call you Shorty?

Does the name Rick Marshall mean anything to you?

Doesn't fit.

Doesn't remember how he got onto him,

Don Cheney? My old roommate?

Don't get up.

Don't know what I can do without Vallejo.

Don't move.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about that. Don't worry about it.

Don't you think it's kind of stupid?

Don't you worry about me, Inspector. I'll be fine when the lights are on.

Door to door, that is less than 50 yards.

Double postage, just like Zodiac.

Driver's wallet and car keys are missing.

Dude, he wears his gun like Bullitt.

Easy, Dirty Harry.

Editorial in two.

Eight months before that, Allen is fired for molesting his students

Eight of the 26 symbols that he suggests are found in this cipher.

Either way, Zodiac had to have known Darlene.

Ending with two symbols that they assume stand for "L."

Enjoy your flight.

Even more than you might think.

Even though he tries to ignore it, it drives him.

Even though she was married.

Evening, gents. What a lovely night for a botched robbery.

Ever appeared together before the letters.

Every federal agency has taken a crack at decoding it.

Every three months than that idiot ever killed?

Everything an amateur would need to create it

Everything in the letter already appeared in the article.

Except Zodiac's doesn't.

Excuse me, I've got to spray this.

Excuse me? I care.

Excuse me.

F R Y, "First of Aug '69 I will go on a kill rampage Fry night.

Fantastic.

Fay Wray, Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks. We've run that picture many times.

Fellas, he's not your guy.

Fifteen seconds. Clear the set.

Figures.

Fine, but you have to come back

Fine.

Finish the book.

Finish up, buddy, and put it in the sink.

First he won't shut up and now...

First recorded contact with the police department about Allen

For little darlings bouncing off buses.

For someone to have written with the wrong hand.

Forget it. I'll telefax it to you.

Forget Sherwood. Let's get another opinion.

Four letters in three months,

Frequently.

From there on out, he only manages to kill the girls.

FUBAR, gentlemen, FUBAR.

Fuck off and die!

Gave me a name.

Geographically, every attack takes place near a body of water

Get Cheney on the record.

Get creative.

Get in here.

Get in. I had to find fireworks.

Get in. I haven't eaten in 24 hours.

Get on your stomach so I can tie your feet.

Get some more... You need some more napkins.

Get the letters up to Sherwood in Sacramento.

Get your wallet.

Gets worse.

Give or take. Yeah.

Give us a sec.

Glove box.

Glynnis told me lots about you.

Go get the publisher.

Go to Candlestick. See a movie.

God damn it.

God, can you imagine surviving something like that?

God, that's a hell of a get up.

Gone for a week.

Good evening. Our top story tonight,

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good night, Mr. Graysmith!

Good people.

Good to see you, Mel.

Goodbye.

Got another one. June 19th, 1971.

Grab your book.

Graysmith, don't you have that cartoon to finish?

Great book.

Great. How late am I?

Great. I'm gonna need photos of those boot prints.

Great. Thanks for having us down today.

Greek, Morse code, Navy semaphore, weather symbols, astrological signs.

Guess what it's called?

Guilty in the Chowchilla kidnapping case.

Guy who used to sit there was a great cartoonist. Bob Bastian.

Guys?

Hall of Justice!

Handwriting, fingerprints, that's what this whole thing's about.

Has anyone here didn't touch this letter?

Have a unit go to the Fairmont Hotel.

Have you called Solano Sheriff's Office?

Have you considered the killer might be Paul Avery?

Have you seen her? Wouldn't kid you.

Haven't got around to it.

He also said that you made statements about killing school children.

He called the Bellis' house.

He called.

He came around the side of the car and he was wiping stuff.

He came back on Christmas. Not a good day to work.

He can write with either hand. Didn't you guys know that?

He claimed he did, but he's been unable to produce the names

He claims he's killed 13 people,

He confirms the Vallejo and Napa killings.

He couldn't talk about a former patient, so I just asked him straight out

He did that in San Francisco once.

He didn't expect to pick it up, a nice person to pick up.

He died a week or so afterwards.

He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he doesn't curse.

He gets so caught up with the women he forgets to finish off the men.

He got up all upset and said, "I don't care what you think.

He had a round face like this guy.

He hunted the people for the challenge.

He is silent for three years.

He just got lost in the shuffle.

He knows they're tracing his calls.

He looks at it. He's about to give it back and he stops and he says,

He misspells words like that. He thinks it's funny.

He only went twice.

He pulls over.

He recorded his murders on film.

He said he can meet you tomorrow morning at 7:00.

He said he had to kill because it was his birthday.

He said he knew who the Zodiac was.

He said it... Wait. He said it was his birthday?

He said, "I have to kill. Today is my birthday. "

He says he's gonna call in on Jim Dunbar's morning show in three hours.

He seems a little touched or medicated or...

He sent me that when he got out.

He shoots the cabbie and then takes them off?

He spelled it the exact same way. Christ mass.

He stops, puts it in park, boom.

He talked about shooting out the tires of a school bus

He taped a flashlight to the gun. That's how he hit them in the dark.

He took it to Sherwood without telling us, the son of a bitch.

He types the confession.

He used to bring her presents from Tijuana and...

He wants his code in the afternoon edition.

He wants Melvin Belli on to counsel him.

He wants to be published. He calls it a game.

He was also a projectionist at a silent film theater.

He was arrested January 1975 for molestation.

He was drinking Coors, getting a load on.

He was just gonna do them.

He was the head of Questioned Documents.

He went behind that tree.

He wishes to remain anonymous. I wish to remain infamous.

He won't give his name.

He won't sign off on a warrant for Allen's house.

He works at Union Oil in Pinole. His brother's up there, too.

He would have been covered in blood.

He wrote a few letters, and he faded into a footnote.

He wrote me, you know?

He'd have knowledge of bus routes,

He's a friend of the Zodiac's.

He's a fucking boy scout.

He's a liar, Mr. Graysmith.

He's a sociology major.

He's actually the reason I'm here.

He's arrested.

He's breaking the pattern.

He's coming towards us.

He's going to school in Santa Rosa.

He's gonna make me take a cab when we're going to the same place.

He's kind of crafty like that. Do you mind if I speak to her?

He's moving into a different county

He's on the phone with Vallejo.

He's the writer that the Zodiac threatened.

He's usually not this late.

He's yesterday's news, right?

Headaches?

Heck no, he's only shooting those farm kids.

Hello, Arthur. Remember us?

Hello!

Hello?

Hello? This is Melvin Belli.

Hello? Who is this?

Hello.

Her car is disabled.

Here comes every lunatic in California.

Here to help, Jim.

Here you go, you drunken reprobate.

Here, where he spells "Christmas" with two "S's. "

Here.

Here. Here.

Here's the keys.

Here's what we know.

Hey,

Hey, Bullitt!

Hey, good for you, Bill.

Hey, how do we know that this lead is real?

Hey, it's me.

Hey, nobody's downplaying the loss of human life here, Alfred.

Hey, we found Linda. She's in jail. Isn't that great?

Hey, you know what?

Hey, you said it was in Montana, right?

Hey.

Hey. Come to bed.

Hey. Mulanax. Yeah.

Hi, I'm Robert.

Hi! I'm supposed to meet somebody here.

Hi.

Hi. Good evening. Hi. I'm looking for a Melanie.

Hi. I talked to Sherwood. He got the samples.

Hi. We haven't met.

His foot gets crushed in an accident and the killings begin.

His name was Wallace Penny.

His neighbor saw bloody knives in his truck

Hold on.

Homicide Investigation by Lemoyne Snyder...

Horrid.

Horrid. I'm thinking we go with not so horrid.

How about Old St. Mary's Church in Chinatown?

How are we gonna get evidence if we can't toss the house?

How can somebody who's killed 13 people do...

How can you be sure that Leigh Allen is the Leigh from this file?

How can you be sure? It was a long time ago. Think hard.

How come you and Mom don't sleep in the same bed anymore?

How did Paul Avery get his hands on the exemplars?

How did you do it?

How did you find me?

How did you know he was gonna send another code?

How did you know he wasn't gonna give his name?

How do I confirm it?

How do I get to Melvin Belli?

How do they know that Rick Marshall wrote the sign?

How do you mean "business"?

How do you put the two of them together?

How does one do that?

How does our master criminal come to the city and leave a bloody latent?

How long have you been having these headaches?

How many men can you give me?

How many suspects were cleared through handwriting?

How sure are you?

How the hell's he gonna accidentally leave a print behind?

How?

How'd he get the evidence out of Riverside?

How'd you know his name?

How's the book coming?

How's the coffee today, Shorty?

Hypothetically, you just named my favorite suspect in the whole case.

I also killed those kids last year.

I also told him we don't think this is Zodiac.

I am an idiot. I just killed a man for $8.25.

I am saying Zodiac was my job. It is not yours.

I am thinking hard.

I am through with you.

I apologize. Things have been moving fast.

I believe some clues were overlooked in the murder of Darlene Ferrin.

I believe that the police department either did not have the money, the time

I believe that you can accomplish anything that you put your mind...

I called the Chron.

I called you because we've been cross referencing lunar cycles

I can get more. I'll just find Vaughn and I'll track down Linda.

I can give you a lift to a service station.

I can tell you that he was not into people.

I can't allow you to help.

I can't be on call anymore.

I can't discuss the case with you.

I can't give you information, and I certainly couldn't tell you

I can't prove this.

I can't talk about this now. I have to go see Bob Vaughn.

I can't tell if I wanted it to be Allen so bad

I can't tell you. That's privileged information.

I can't. He skipped town.

I checked. He did.

I come in peace. I don't want any trouble.

I did not say anything.

I didn't know you had a baby.

I didn't mean anything.

I didn't mean to scare you, but your right rear wheel is loose.

I do.

I don't care what he says. This still could be Z.

I don't ever talk about an open investigation, period. Okay, Ken?

I don't know what to tell you. You get it, I'll analyze it.

I don't know why she was friends with him.

I don't know.

I don't know. Don't you have experts for that stuff?

I don't know. He's angry, he's been drinking,

I don't know. I don't work in Vallejo. I work here.

I don't really know,

I don't think he wanted to have anything to do with this.

I don't wanna step on Sherwood's toes. He trained me at this.

I don't want to go to the gas chamber.

I don't want to go to the gas chamber. I have headaches.

I end up tossing into the back alley.

I flag a cab. I give him this address.

I found her like this.

I got the leads coming out of the woodwork.

I had to move.

I handed him a photo.

I have another way.

I have got Napa, Vallejo, and DOJ looking at me sideways

I have headaches, too,

I have headaches. I kill, I don't get them.

I have some change.

I have to concentrate.

I heard he even sent Vallejo a code key, just to help.

I heard.

I just dumped a quart of blood in the front seat.

I just guessed.

I just need to confirm a date.

I just need your help to find Linda.

I just wanna help.

I just wanted to check

I killed a guard escaping from prison in Montana.

I knew that I heard that from somewhere.

I know he's been up to that lake a bunch of times.

I look forward to the day

I love to read.

I mean, admittedly,

I mean, assuming the gloves are his,

I mean, I think the Times Herald's gonna go with it.

I mean, it was short, like a nickname, like Stan.

I mean, it's a honor to leave the Chronicle

I mean, Linda is Darlene's sister.

I mean, no, I am not having this conversation.

I mean, somebody doesn't just randomly prank phone call a victim's entire family

I mean, the case is dead. Zodiac's long gone.

I mean, this could be our boy.

I merely suggested...

I need a sample of his handwriting to confirm it.

I need a sample of Rick Marshall's handwriting.

I need to know who he is.

I need to stand there,

I never cleared a Rick Marshall.

I packed you your carrots and your soda and peanut butter, okay?

I put in for a transfer.

I really don't want to talk to you right now, Paul. Not now.

I remember that. I spoke to him.

I said, "He is not here. "

I saw that car at Mr. Ed's.

I saw your Star Trek, by the way. It was excellent.

I say let's go front page. If he kills 12 people, it's not our fault.

I shoot him on the right side, he slumps right?

I should call his wife and just see if she's heard from him.

I shouldn't be talking to you.

I started a new job in L.A. on January 20th.

I think he's watching us.

I think I can help you, Sam.

I think it's "Mayhew. " Anyway, he lived, she didn't.

I think that the man who you talked to called me, too.

I thought it was a stupid name. So I told him.

I thought Questioned Documents already did.

I thought Sherwood shut you down.

I thought they looked medieval, too.

I thought they were Vallejo.

I thought you were starving.

I told all this to the other officer.

I told him that I'd gone to Salt Point that weekend to skin dive.

I told the cops about that so long ago.

I told you. Vaughn is who...

I tried to send you these.

I tried to tell the police, but they wouldn't follow through on it.

I understand he doesn't look much like the San Francisco composite.

I understand what you're trying to do.

I understand.

I used to work there when...

I wait for him to put it in park because I'm smart

I wanna see these kids grow up.

I want her to tie you up.

I want to report a murder. No, a double murder.

I wanted to ask you about a film that the Avenue may have played

I wanted to ask you about Zodiac.

I was away on safari.

I was out, but he spoke with my housekeeper.

I was wondering if I could buy you lunch.

I won't take any more of your time.

I would love to, if I could get out of this...

I wouldn't think they would ask for capital punishment.

I'd have to check my records. Why?

I'd like to set up a meeting with your survivor, Michael Mageau.

I'll be up in a minute. I need to make a phone call.

I'll catch up to you.

I'll check the back.

I'll check with the neighbors.

I'll come back to that.

I'll connect you.

I'll get the food to go.

I'll go get him for you.

I'll have Vallejo and Napa check with their city planners.

I'll more than happily...

I'll see you there.

I'll show you mine. You show me yours.

I'm a friend of Dave Toschi's.

I'm calling SFPD. Where's my gun?

I'm done.

I'm George Bawart. Vallejo PD. I took over for Jack Mulanax.

I'm going to Mexico.

I'm going to stand here and attempt not to vomit.

I'm gonna drive down and see him tonight.

I'm gonna kill him.

I'm gonna kill them.

I'm gonna need elimination prints from your staff.

I'm gonna show you a group of photographs.

I'm gonna throw your baby out the window.

I'm just right down there at the Art department

I'm left handed.

I'm looking for someone to shed some light on a letter we received.

I'm not afraid to kill again.

I'm not coming in tomorrow.

I'm not doing anything, okay?

I'm not leaving you holding the bag on anything, am I?

I'm not Paul Avery.

I'm not so sure that's something we want people to know about.

I'm not the Zodiac.

I'm reading this book,

I'm Robert Graysmith.

I'm Robert Graysmith. I work at the Chronicle with Paul Avery.

I'm Robert Graysmith. I work at the Chronicle.

I'm saving those for later.

I'm sick. I have headaches.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Graysmith, but we don't cooperate with writers.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Do you remember his name?

I'm the one that did it.

I'm the Zodiac.

I've been doing research on the first cipher.

I've been thinking that if you put all the information together,

I've been to the DMV, and I talked to her parents,

I've got five minutes. I've got to get back to the Hall.

I've got to get out of here.

I've never been here before.

I've really... I've only been waiting two hours, so...

I've walked it.

If he ever investigated a man named Rick Marshall?

If he had the foresight to bring gloves with him,

If he were to tell you something, I'd believe it to be true.

If I show you something, you promise not to tell anyone?

If it turns out to be real, at least we'll have the material.

If it was so fucking important, what did you ever do?

If it went to trial,

If not, we get his prints and handwriting samples from both hands.

If the Examiner doesn't have the balls to run it, we scoop the Bay.

If they're true, they're quite incriminating.

If we despise our own government...

If we do find something, Mulanax will go to the DA in Vallejo,

If we find something, great.

If we run it, we might be setting a very dangerous precedent.

If you don't mind.

If you don't recognize anyone, that's okay.

If you don't think this is Zodiac, then why give anything to Avery?

If you go one mile east on Columbus Parkway,

If you had an unsolved firearm related homicide

If you like, I could tighten the lugs up for you.

If you think you might know who the Zodiac is,

In '68, '69?

In 38 years, I've never seen anyone that ambidextrous.

In a bizarre twist, the hunted has become hunter.

In a letter claiming, "I am back with you,"

In a way, though, it's the part that doesn't match that scares me the most.

In at least one of your articles.

In cooperation with SFPD, we will run the Zodiac letter

In everyday life, Allen uses his left hand.

In front of the Daly City St. Vincent de Paul at 10:30.

In his first letters, he executed the "K" with two strokes.

In the Chronicle instead of getting calls from you?

In the decade since the Zodiac's last cipher was received,

In the first cipher...

In the murder trial of one...

In these canisters is the evidence.

In this book,

Informant says that you're ambidextrous?

Inspector Toschi, it is my belief this is a window into this man's soul.

Inspectors, he sent this letter directly to my residence.

Is it me, or does that look like a gunsight?

Is it true about the children?

Is that all you can think about?

Is that he's still under government employment.

Is that helpful?

Is that more important than your family's safety?

Is that true?

Is the letter "K."

Is there any way that someone could beat a handwriting test?

Is there anything else we can do to help?

Is there something I can call you that's a little less ominous?

Is there somewhere we can meet, Sam, and talk about this?

Is this some sleazy plan to get me to go home with you?

It could be enough for a warrant.

It couldn't have been any later.

It is a cry for help, intended as a private communiquÃ©.

It is a public park.

It is my belief that he only penned this letter

It is you waiting in the hall if you speak again.

It looked like they were drunk and fighting.

It may be the beginning of a crime wave.

It must have been magical.

It talks all about you researching Zodiac.

It was around 4:00. But I forgot to tell the other officer that.

It was four years ago. Let it fucking go.

It was his birthday.

It was Leigh.

It was like writing fan mail to himself. That's all.

It was minty.

It was my favorite book in high school.

It was Rick.

It was Sherwood's case.

It wasn't Rick.

It's a bit early in the day.

It's a long, difficult process and ineffective with these short calls.

It's a party where people come and help you paint.

It's about this man who waits for people to get shipwrecked on this island.

It's as close as I've ever seen. We have to tread lightly here.

It's because you thought it was him.

It's been 11 months since you talked to this guy,

It's been 22 years. I don't know how I can help you.

It's been a windfall, since they published the threat on my life.

It's got to be more than just a coincidence, right?

It's his third fare of the night. Does anyone have any animal crackers?

It's in his blood.

It's in the Vallejo files.

It's interesting that you should mention Zodiac calling people at home.

It's July. How many shirts are you wearing?

It's just a simple substitution code

It's locked.

It's near L.A.

It's no bother at all. Nobody comes by from the old days.

It's no trouble at all.

It's not a problem. They're just down in the basement.

It's not just farm kids.

It's not new.

It's nothing.

It's okay by me.

It's okay.

It's okay. Come on.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's the voice. The voice is too high. It's too young.

It's the wrong number.

It's this man.

It's too crowded.

It's trimmed off each reel before it's shown,

It's unsigned except for a symbol.

It's very real. You know how I know?

It's very rustic.

Janice in Datebook left the fondue party before everyone got naked.

January, 1975, they send him to Atascadero.

Jennings here from the Chronicle.

Jesus Christ, who's got school buses? Department of Transportation?

Jesus Christ.

Jesus.

Jim, we have a call. We're going live.

Job applications, letters to friends, et cetera.

July fourth, Darlene Ferrin and Michael...

Just because I'm showing you these pictures, you understand?

Just because you can't prove it, doesn't mean it's not true.

Just give me five minutes. I know exactly where it is.

Just go about your daily business.

Just go.

Just like nobody died over the weekend when he was gonna kill a dozen people,

Just not gonna work.

Ken, I don't want to get into a jurisdictional thing here.

Kid at the lake.

Kids who called it in saw the suspect from that window.

Killing is his compulsion.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for choosing PSA.

Lake Berryessa? Did you ever go with him?

Lake Berryessa. Blue Rock Springs.

Last year we arranged for Leigh to get help from a social worker.

Late breakfast?

Later letters, he did them with three.

Learn a lot.

Leigh liked messing with people.

Leigh. Nobody calls me Arthur.

Leroy, there, came down from Yellow Cab to ID him.

Let me drive.

Let me just describe the lamp you're gonna buy me.

Let's go someplace quiet.

Let's say it really was Zodiac.

Let's shoot the code and call SFPD.

Lighting's the same over here,

Like the one that we used to do as boy scouts.

Linda said Leigh. This is Leigh.

Linda?

Listen, Dispatch said it was a n**** male.

Listen, it was dark.

Listen, we're gonna need your scene photos.

Look at the article from the Bee.

Look away.

Look, I don't know about the handwriting,

Look, now you have everything we have.

Look, off the record, Bill Armstrong checked this out.

Look, we've been running handwriting samples.

Looking at Fraud.

Looking for the Modesto Bee from March.

Looming. No looming.

Lost them.

Lumbering? What do you mean, "lumbering"?

Lunch box.

Mageau and Darlene, that's Vallejo's case.

Make sure you call Mulanax. It is his backyard.

Man, you really creeped us out.

Maupin used David as a character in his column.

Maupin, a very well respected author, has gone on record saying

May I go?

May I have your name and where you are calling...

May I see it?

Maybe an anagram.

Maybe Bill saw them and called the other officer on me.

Maybe give us another minute?

Maybe he did it with his other hand.

Maybe he thought that I could do some good.

Maybe he's gone.

Maybe I could write you a check?

Maybe Ted Kidder or Phil Tucker at Vallejo Recreation.

Maybe we drove him underground.

Maybe you could jog something loose.

Maybe you'll have a chance to try your Japanese food, the raw stuff.

Maybe you've got your hand on his collar when you shoot.

Maybe, maybe not. You're missing the point.

Maybe. But Mageau's gone.

Me, too.

Meanwhile, I spoke to a psychologist who'd be willing to testify

Medical, not mental.

Meet me on top of the Fairmont Hotel.

Melanie, I should really go home and wait for the call.

Melvin Belli.

Melvin, he's reaching out to you.

Methinks our friend's a tad bit fuckered in the head.

Might have actually been him.

Might. Might be. I have her comp right here in this file.

Military boot prints.

Military style boots sold only at military PXs

More often than not, each cycle since '69 corresponds with an attack

More team coverage on the cipher slayer's return...

More than happily decamp for greener pastures.

Morti's? Anyone?

Most Dangerous Game ran in May '69.

Mostly mine.

Mr. Allen, I'm Inspector Bill Armstrong.

Mr. Allen?

Mr. Belli was away for Christmas.

Mr. Belli was gone for a week?

Mr. Graysmith,

Mr. Graysmith, I do the posters myself.

Mr. Graysmith, it's Ken Narlow from Napa.

Mr. Graysmith, Maupin works at your paper. We trust...

Mr. Graysmith, most of the writing matches the exemplar.

Mr. Graysmith.

Mr. Hoffa has disappeared.

Mr. Mageau.

Mr. Penny, if Rick Marshall is the Zodiac,

Mr. Vaughn does not know his friend is a killer,

Mrs. Allen, we don't arrest people just because we're interested in them.

Mulanax said that he was your favorite suspect.

Must have been worse than I thought.

My baby!

My children are terrified of Glynnis.

My head aches. I'm so sick.

My mother in law brought him by to see the new baby.

My own kids would kill me for one of those.

My teachers tried to make me when I was a kid, but I couldn't.

My thoughts exactly.

My, my, my.

N A R L O W.

Napa Police Department.

Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Marin, and San Mateo.

Neighbor said he tore out of here about a half hour ago.

Next time he went out of town.

Nine weeks before the first Zodiac letter, correct?

No breaks between the symbols denoting different words.

No numbers or clues to substitution keys.

No pens, no paper.

No problem. Have a good night.

No, but at the time they hadn't changed it.

No, but it was right after the murder at the lake.

No, I know you don't think it's him.

No, I mean, why are you asking me?

No, I'm sure that he didn't. And I'm sure that this will all blow over.

No, it wasn't.

No, it's not him.

No, McQueen got that from Toschi.

No, no, no, no, no. We didn't have a crime scene.

No, no. Just that he had a round face like that.

No, that's untrue.

No, they were over the county line

No, we're not in anything together, Paul,

No, you need to come back tomorrow morning.

No, you won't.

No! Help! Please! No!

No.

No. Because he dumped them, because he got scared.

Nobody has more Zodiac crap than you do.

Nobody.

None of the suspects had the same birthday as this phantom caller.

Nope. That's a penny.

Nope. Vallejo's got them, not us.

Not a good idea, Paul.

Not a peep in four months.

Not a single usable print at the first three or in any of the letters?

Not at all. But the real story is the letter.

Not at all. I hear you have some files for us.

Not many people have basements in California.

Not one, but two blue windbreakers.

Not so horrid.

Not that I haven't been sitting here idly

Nothing from the crowd.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Now go get your jammies on.

Now he's doing public television. For some reason.

Now I got a chance to talk to the cop

Now I just got to type it up.

Now, after that, do any of the letters contain swatches of Paul Stine's shirt?

Now, D.

Now, I have been a cop for 25 years. Murder police for 12.

Now, I know Mulanax says that they already found this guy,

Now, on a scale of one to 10,

Now, that's something he's done before.

Now, the person that shot you may or may not be

Now, unless we bring him a handwriting match or some evidence that...

Now, Vallejo is a small town, but it's not that small.

Now, we need that print you lifted from the cab

Now! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Oakland PD's operator is sure

Of course not.

Of course.

Of the couple he supposedly met on the day of Berryessa.

Officer Richard Radetich, shot sitting in his car.

Officer! I need you to let me in.

Oh, boy. He wrote me. He threatened my life.

Oh, briefcase. Oh, thanks.

Oh, Captain Narlow. Thank you for calling me back.

Oh, come on, now, it's newsworthy.

Oh, cookies. Thank you. These look great.

Oh, great.

Oh, guys.

Oh, hon, you're being paranoid.

Oh, is that okay?

Oh, it's a classic. RKO. 1932.

Oh, keys.

Oh, my God, he has a gun.

Oh, my God, look!

Oh, please.

Oh, right, because that worked so well for us in Riverside.

Oh, shit.

Oh, that's all right.

Oh, that's how you cooperate? By giving information to reporters?

Oh, that's right, I forgot. You went to the library.

Oh, that's that article.

Oh, wait, no wait, hold on.

Oh, well, what's going on with it, day to day?

Oh, well...

Oh, wow. I don't think Paul knows that it's that far away.

Oh, yeah, I saw that on TV.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm sure he was.

Okay, Arthur Leigh Allen and the Zodiac, their timelines.

Okay, can you just ask him

Okay, here we go.

Okay, I'll play. Let's say this phone call did take place.

Okay, look at this letter again. The part about Kathleen Johns.

Okay, okay.

Okay, re plate.

Okay, the Rick Marshalls of this world will suck you dry.

Okay, then.

Okay, wait a minute.

Okay, what about the guy who came to see you,

Okay, yeah, friend? Who is this friend?

Okay, you all done?

Okay, you have everything that I have.

Okay, you're staying with your mom and Aaron tonight.

Okay.

Okay. As far as you know, did anyone ever get in touch

Okay. Can I show you something?

Okay. Catherine Allen states that

Okay. I'm your shooter, n**** male adult,

Okay. It gets really cold out here at night.

Okay. Okay. Look at the stuff side by side, Dave.

Okay. This way, please.

Okay. We gotta call the Army and see if this

Okay. Well, she said she'd call when she heard from him.

Okay. Well, there is a connection

Okay. Zodiac had to have known Darlene Ferrin, right?

Oldest kid ran downstairs to get a better look from the dining room,

On Christmas and maybe one on July fourth.

On Jackson. Heading east. About the middle of the block.

On my way back to my desk. They have phones, if you want.

On November 29th, a month after Bates's murder.

On our letterhead?

On television?

On the corner of Tennessee and Caroll.

On the handwriting?

Once we lock that into our brains,

Once. In high school.

One at a time and preferably alone?

One day before the vernal equinox.

One of the letters was...

One, stop boozing.

One's drunk and we think he's robbing him.

Only a little rat bastard like Andre

Only, what?

Or a cop just reaches out, boom, false print.

Or he'd kill more people.

Or heard anything about the Zodiac?

Or I tossed them. I don't know. I moved onto a boat.

Or when he was gonna shoot school kids or blow up buses.

Or with one of the letters, or an unsolved homicide.

Or, at least, that's what I told Phil.

Or, yes, the inclination...

Other thing is, Leigh's into skin diving.

Our Daly City no show called from a mental institution.

Our handwriting may change over the years,

Our investigation into this subject is over.

Our letters and your letters, I don't see it.

Our man at Questioned Documents says it's inconclusive.

Pacific Telephone says you need to keep him on the line for 15 minutes.

Pal, they're already making movies about it.

Partial.

Patricia Hearst is kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army...

Paul Avery.

Paul Avery. Can I catch a ride with you gents when we get there?

Paul Stine is mine. You've got four minutes now.

Paul Stine's shirt, his wallet, his keys.

Paul, if you want to work here, I need three things.

Paul, it's 11:00 and we missed Editorial.

Paul, what's on the crime beat?

Paul, where are you going?

Paul, you did call him a latent homosexual

Paul, you wrote the Justice Department

Paul. Where's the shirt?

People get old, Robert. They forget.

People were supposed to just show up and drink beer, help paint.

People.

Perfectly.

Permission to come aboard. It's right there.

Phone calls the night of Darlene's murder.

Physical description.

Piece of work, this guy.

Piner's ambulance has been dispatched.

Please, sit down.

Please!

Plus, nobody died on December 18th,

Plus, they're all couples and all on lover's lanes.

Pre law, actually.

Press conference is at 4:00. We got to give them something.

Probably just a coincidence.

Producing a different handwriting that he can't be linked to.

Put those on my desk. Turn on the light.

Read the last part.

Reading.

Really?

Really? Why?

Regarding the only unsolved homicide in Riverside County's history,

Remember, smoking is in the last six aisles only.

Rick Marshall was a Navy man. He received code training.

Rick used to draw movie posters for the theater Vaughn worked at.

Rick. Rick somebody.

Right here.

Right there, boss.

Right, not in a hurry. Kind of lumbering along like...

Riverside, Vallejo, the lake or us.

Robert Graysmith. I've been here nine months.

Robert, do you have a deadline?

Robert, it was just the date that didn't end.

Robert, what's the one thing we know about Zodiac?

Robert! Go away!

Robert! We need the cartoon.

Robert.

Roll the tape. Get the tape.

Sacramento's two hours away.

Said he didn't look much like the sketch.

Sam, we'd like you to know that we are not tracing these calls.

Sam, you need to tell me what your problem is.

Sam?

Sam.

Same size as the prints found at Berryessa.

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Armistead Maupin says

San Francisco Chronicle reporter and Zodiac target Paul Avery

San Francisco police...

Sayonara, police endorsement. Good work, Flo.

Says how you can put a light at the end of a gun

Science experiment could actually work.

See them both.

Seen it yet?

Sergeant Mulanax.

Sergeant, I just need to see one file!

Sergeant! Sergeant Mulanax!

Seriously, dead asleep. I lost feeling in my arm and everything.

SFPD saw a handwritten sign in the window of his house.

She and her husband, they move into their new house,

She leaves with an unidentified male at closing, 9:00 p. m.

She once told me he'd killed somebody.

She said it was his birthday.

She tied you loose, didn't she?

She was scared of him.

She's right this way.

Sherwood disqualified his handwriting.

Sherwood got a handwriting match off wood?

Sherwood who was fired from Questioned Documents?

Sherwood?

Shit.

Shit. All right, come on.

Shit. Fuck. Oh, my God. Jesus.

Shorty! Let's go out for one.

Shut up.

Similarities in the lowercase "r's. "

Since I killed a kid.

Single, male cab driver on Washington and Cherry doesn't fit.

Sir, I was wondering if I'd be able to talk to your children,

Sitting. Listening to music. Talking.

Six months later, the police, the girl's father, and the paper,

So did Times Herald.

So does anyone think this suspect warrants further investigation?

So he can't rule him in. But he can't rule him out, either.

So he got in the front seat to tear off a piece of the shirt.

So how do you guys wanna do this?

So I already set up transpo for the cab.

So I went to every base library and I got a list of every person

So I'm gonna talk to Bob Vaughn.

So if you wanna connect Darlene to Zodiac,

So it could be an ambush. I mean, it could be the Zodiac.

So it's not his print?

So maybe I see someone walking their dog.

So now they've got a repeating four letter word

So our suspect could be military.

So please, everyone, stay safe.

So the cab was one block catty corner southwest?

So the Hardens start looking for double symbols,

So they flooded it.

So we're going to get along great.

So we've just retested the left hand. I mean, we know he's ambidextrous.

So what's that tell us about the Zodiac?

So why didn't Cheney contact us sooner?

So you think that Darlene knew Zodiac?

So,

So, almost every book on ciphers was stolen from the Presidio Library?

So, do whatever you have to,

So, do you know what's good here?

So, either Zodiac shoots a random couple,

So, he left on the 18th.

So, I can't find Mageau, so maybe I can find Darlene's sister.

So, I remember you thought that Zodiac was military,

So, let's just say that your guy did Cheri Jo.

So, let's pull some handwriting samples.

So, tell me about yourself.

So, tell me something, Arthur.

So, that would be about

So, the call came before the letter of December 20th.

So, the check stubs are a wash. There's not enough handwriting.

So, the gun range?

So, the phone lines are open. Mr. Belli is here.

So, what's the harm?

So, why does Zodiac kill him?

So, why'd he get in the front seat?

So, you don't like having a new little brother?

So, you moved off my brother in law?

So, you weren't angry about being fired from Valley Springs

So, you're a friend of Paul Avery's?

So?

Solano, Vallejo, Berryessa, and here.

Some cartoonist. Thinks he's gonna solve the Zodiac.

Somebody didn't want a record of ever having checked out these books.

Somebody else is here.

Somebody should write a book.

Somebody should write a fucking book, that's for sure.

Someone claiming to be Zodiac called Oakland PD a half hour ago.

Someone cut the coil in the distributor, the battery died.

Someone's here.

Something'll shake loose.

Sorry.

Sounds kind of dangerous.

Sounds like a terrible party.

Specifically with his "K."

Spend some time with your wife and the kids.

Spit.

Starts talking about hunting people. Like that book.

Stick to the evidence.

Sure, if you send me the handwriting.

Sure, why not?

Sure.

Suspect fired one shot to the back of the head.

Suspect is Arthur Leigh Allen.

Sweet mother of Christ, what are you drawing?

Sweetest of Templetons, if at any time

Take care of yourself, Sam.

Take him through the geography.

Take it slow, Dave. Try and find more stuff for Sherwood.

Take your time.

Talk to Ken Narlow.

Tell him when you put it together.

Tell it to Sherwood. I'm out here, beating the bushes,

Tell me about this painting party.

Tell me that's not a piece of bloody shirt!

Tell me what facts he gives.

Terry, all I need to know is if the suspect is ambidextrous.

Thank you for asking.

Thank you so much.

Thank you very much, Mr. Cheney. Thank you very much for your time.

Thank you, Eric.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you for breakfast.

Thank you. Thanks for everything.

Thank you. That'd be great.

Thanks for coming to see me.

Thanks.

Thanks. Happy Birthday.

That and the poster.

That Avery now believes was the Zodiac's first victim.

That blood came from a chicken that I killed for dinner.

That gives us two sources on the ciphers and two on the flashlight.

That he believes Toschi wrote the letter to drum up publicity for himself.

That he worked with at a public pool in Vallejo.

That I then took personally to the Office of Questioned Documents.

That I was alone but I met a couple there.

That in his latest haunting letter,

That is fucked up!

That is horrible. That is... That's a horrible thing to say.

That is...

That Rick left a film canister here that he told you never to open.

That someone who undergoes a personality change like Zodiac

That the man who calls himself the Zodiac

That they're just printing all that stuff to sell more newspapers.

That was corrected.

That was my headache.

That would be great, Arthur.

That would be his sister in law and a man named Phil Tucker

That you spent two years on him, and that nobody ever came close.

That you're now identifying the second photograph?

That's a "J"? Okay. Honor Camp?

That's a crime.

That's a lot of dead people and grieving families that need our help.

That's a nice watch.

That's because he's full of shit.

That's good, Robert.

That's got to be near the summer solstice.

That's him.

That's how it ends.

That's my handwriting.

That's nice.

That's not good enough.

That's okay. I got it.

That's right.

That's standard procedure.

That's the current thinking, according to Terry Pascoe.

That's the description that went out to radio cars.

That's the only place that word and that symbol

That's the whole point of the story.

That's very sweet.

That's what they say.

The application's got more, but it doesn't look like Z's,

The author presents a very simple substitution code in the preface.

The background with school children.

The Bee ain't exactly the Chron, but fuck it, right?

The birthday was the one time that he was weak!

The bottom line is that Allen can't alibi up on anything.

The boys need to be tucked in, please, and the baby needs changing.

The brother said he would search Leigh's apartment

The cheapo knock offs like you brought today

The cipher's broken into three sections, each with eight lines and 17 symbols.

The city of San Francisco does not pay criminals not to commit a crime.

The City room of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The county decided that the land would work better as a lake.

The Examiner's going, but won't go front page.

The first edition is off the floor in 10, Charles.

The first time I saw it in the papers, I thought about that.

The guy was wearing a dark jacket. There's no way...

The handwriting is the closest that we have ever come to a match.

The handwriting matches Zodiac's.

The informant notified us that you made certain statements

The kids miss you.

The killer gets shot in the chest.

The knives I had in my car with the blood on them,

The last time I saw this face was July 4th, 1969.

The letter to Melvin Belli

The letters are a little too neat

The man she talked to had a deeper voice.

The man you're worrying about snuffing you out?

The marked man.

The misspellings of Christ mass. The bloody knives.

The Most Dangerous Game?

The Most Dangerous Game.

The Most Dangerous Game. That's why you're here, isn't it?

The Most Dangerous Game. The Zodiac watch.

The murder weapons?

The new letters from the Zodiac Killer were sent to

The new Zodiac letter. And it mentions you.

The one letter that absolutely, positively does not match

The one time that he gave something away!

The one who called me?

The only guy who's seen Zodiac without a mask is missing?

The only one who ever wrote me a letter was Leigh Allen.

The original studio one sheets, I always kept for myself.

The party Darlene threw,

The pasta, spaghetti?

The patrolman who saw Zodiac that night

The people have a right to know. Toddy?

The police already had somebody in custody.

The poster that Rick drew.

The prints, the handwriting...

The problem is the entire state already thinks it is.

The ranger that found the kids literally swept everything into a picnic blanket.

The Riverside killer wrote to the press letters

The Robert Graysmith mentioned in the paper today?

The same Sherwood that drinks like Paul Avery now?

The San Francisco Police Department has confirmed

The someone comes back, offers to help.

The terse 66 word message also manages...

The victim's name is Paul Stine. Dousette pronounced him at 10:10.

The what?

The Zodiac called, wanting to talk to him.

The Zodiac has threatened to, "Wipe out a school bus

The Zodiac Killer has come to San Francisco.

The Zodiac Killer is obsessed with movies.

The Zodiac makes no overt threats against the citizenry,

The Zodiac symbol on film. It's on the countdown.

The Zodiac's name is Rick Marshall.

Then he recognizes Darlene...

Then he said he'd write letters to the police

Then maybe you can track the man.

Then the letter arrived.

Then they would've had to put that in a report.

Then who's been calling our house in the middle of the night

Then you got your "K," you got your "I," and you're on your way.

Then, in '74, he feels comfortable again

Then, what did you ever do about it?

There are similarities in the lowercase "r's. "

There were two to Darlene's house, one to Darlene's brother in law,

There will be a test tonight!

There's a man you need to find. His name is Bob Vaughn.

There's not many basements in California.

There's three in Vallejo, one in Berryessa, the cabbie. That's it.

There's your rag the kids talked about.

These are copies of some of the Zodiac letters that were sent.

These are nice, clean cut young people.

These are what Sherwood Morrill matched to the Zodiac letters?

These carrots are perfect.

These guys are from Internal Affairs.

They all received these.

They are two miles north of park headquarters.

They blew him off. Thought he was a nut.

They both die.

They call the switchboard and keep getting put through.

They cleared him against the one in Stine's cab.

They first saw him in the front seat,

They got the same letter with a different code.

They just saw a man murdered.

They kicked him out of Homicide.

They like to help, you know, sometimes.

They made him give his handwriting like some common criminal.

They might be on the blanket. Is it okay if...

They pulled off the trace.

They ran it.

They started around 1:30 a. m.,

They told him that Allen had been fired for touching kids.

They were in a white Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.

They were shot with a 9mm Luger.

They're blind alleys.

They're both. 22s. One automatic, one revolver.

Thieriot's still here.

This girl, she wants music lessons?

This guy, Leigh, just lays out his entire evil plan

This is a case that's covered both Northern and Southern California,

This is about Rick Marshall, isn't it?

This is all gonna be okay.

This is good business for everyone but you.

This is Inspector Dave Toschi and Sergeant Jack Mulanax.

This is off the record.

This is the most interesting date I've ever had.

This is the Santa Rosa Police Department.

This is the Zodiac speaking.

This is what he said the Zodiac was wearing.

This man has asked for my help.

This man is a marksman,

This may not be Zodiac. Does that matter to you?

This sample matches the canceled checks and the application?

This tip is how you got it in your head that Rick is the Zodiac?

This was found a couple of months later by a janitor in RCC storage.

Thought he was a drunk fighting with the driver.

Three new letters from Zodiac in January, May, and July in '74.

To "Mass Murderer Targets Kids. "

To a fishing buddy on New Year's Day?

To a man seen at Lake Berryessa on the day of the stabbings.

To be honest with you,

To end the war and bring peace with honor in Vietnam.

To figuring out this whole code?

To go see Ken Narlow in Napa.

To promote an exchange and free flow of ideas.

To track an anonymous tipster down in Riverside.

To use as a sight in the dark.

To your health and mine.

Today's August first.

Traffic's bumper to bumper. I was at the gun range.

Travis and I worked here side by side for 10 years.

True. Height and weight are sketchy,

Trusted to hunt down this killer, David Toschi.

Try that. I've got to go. She's very cute.

Trying to draw him out. We're in this together.

Twenty three hundred?

Two killers. Got to be two killers. One has the...

Two, get him to volunteer, which he won't.

Two, stop doing whatever else it is you're doing.

Type it up? It's not finished until you type it up.

Unfortunately.

Unit Five. Toschi needs to call in on a landline.

Unlike in the city where you have Satanists running around.

Using a typewriter is not a crime.

Vallejo murders.

Vic in San Francisco, you're on the line. You're not scared of the Zodiac?

Wait, I thought someone said he was black.

Wait. Am I to understand

Waiting for you to drop by and reinvigorate my sense of purpose.

Walt's on scene, locked up the cab and secured the crowd.

Was he into movies? Was he a movie buff?

Was in Pomona. January 1 Oth, 1970.

Was sent exactly one year after the Lake Herman Road murder.

Was sent exactly six months after her death.

Was that car at the drive in?

Was that thing even loaded?

Washington and Maple. That's one block east.

Watch your step.

We can do that, can't we, Jim?

We choose at some point in our lives how to physically construct each letter.

We could freeze.

We couldn't get a warrant.

We didn't complain when you tied our hands.

We don't get another letter from Zodiac the entire time he's there.

We don't have a fax, either.

We don't have enough to pin it on him yet,

We don't have telefax yet.

We don't see him much anymore since we found out.

We don't want to start a city wide panic

We get our first new Zodiac letter in four years.

We got a Christmas card from Leigh a couple years ago.

We got a tip

We got screwed.

We got Terry Pascoe, this psychology guy,

We got the call to circle the scene and look for a n**** male adult.

We got to see this guy, Chief.

We got two Vallejo killings, now there's one in Napa. Why Napa?

We have a warrant to search your residence.

We have done everything that you've asked.

We have good solid communities out here in the North Bay.

We have to put out a new composite right away.

We have to release the bus threat.

We heard a scream.

We interrupt our regular program to bring you this news bulletin.

We know that Darlene knew a man named Leigh?

We met at the movies once.

We need Allen's right hand. We can't get it without a warrant.

We need to get matches on blood and fabric.

We need to talk.

We never had much confidence in the composite from the kids.

We saw him recently for the first time in nine months.

We should ask the District Attorney.

We should have a drink.

We should have found one of those things in that trailer.

We struck out with the judge.

We talked on the phone the other day for about an hour.

We today have concluded an agreement

We want you to suggest Old St. Mary's Church in Chinatown.

We were here last spring, remember?

We wouldn't have to go through the Vallejo DA.

We'd have to wait, because they don't have a fax.

We'd like you to take a look at them.

We'll be in touch.

We'll go on page... Page four.

We're actively pursuing all leads.

We're already screwed with the amount of tips we got on this thing,

We're coordinating with the school board,

We're gonna cooperate. Just tell me what you want us to do.

We're gonna need to tell them we got the entire force on this.

We're investigating the Zodiac murders in San Francisco and Vallejo.

We're not gonna do anything, okay?

We're not tracing these calls. You have my word.

We're playing catch up, Jack.

We're really not gonna run any more of his letters?

We're talking about implicating this man as the Zodiac.

We're... I'm working on... Do you know the Zodiac?

We've got Alfred from Vacaville.

We've got curfews in effect tonight for the following counties,

We've got to read it.

Welcome. Please put your stuff down. You're going down five rows and left.

Well, can't you narrow it down?

Well, Don's a very reliable guy.

Well, giving some sick bastard a soapbox,

Well, good for him.

Well, he's the only surviving victim who ever saw Zodiac without a mask.

Well, I guess I was there around that time.

Well, I never spoke to her, but maybe my partner did.

Well, I work near him and he's going down tonight

Well, I'm not a cartoonist anymore, so...

Well, I'm not a writer, I'm a cartoonist.

Well, if you wanna do this, don't let me stop you.

Well, it wasn't me. I've been with my bride all night.

Well, it's not that hard. You just got to know where to start.

Well, Leigh's always been troubled.

Well, let me ask you something else.

Well, right now, it's you and Bill and Monday's a school day.

Well, same way I did. You go to the library.

Well, sort of.

Well, Stanton, tell Mr. Howe

Well, supposedly, somebody who's not Waters shows up.

Well, that last guy was.

Well, that's too bad, because we're gonna talk about this.

Well, that's what the article's about.

Well, then, how do I get copies of Rick Marshall's handwriting?

Well, there's your press agent. Talk to him about it.

Well, this is just a formality.

Well, we'll be checking in on that.

Well, we're looking at him.

Well, we're very good looking.

Well, what're you doing at a gun range?

Well, you bring up a good question. Is the Zodiac a Satanist?

Well, you can't be too careful.

Well, you said it was an anonymous tip, right?

Well, you'd have to confirm that, now wouldn't you?

Were made by size

Were you ever in Southern California at any time in 1966?

What about gun?

What about his threats on children?

What about September 26, 1970?

What about the handwriting?

What are these, cookies?

What are we doing?

What are you after?

What are your feelings about Don Cheney?

What dangerous animal? How do I know that?

What did you gentlemen do for Christmas?

What do you do for fun?

What do you got?

What do you mean, there's no evidence?

What do you mean?

What do you say, 20 bucks whoever cracks the psycho's name?

What do you think we were doing back then?

What do you wanna do?

What do you want out of this?

What do you want? Time off?

What does he mean, it gets worse?

What does that say to people?

What I knew in my gut, Ron.

What if he made a mistake?

What if he wasn't lying? What if it was him on the phone?

What if? What if? What if?

What is your location?

What scares me is those hippies out in the Haight

What was that, Sam?

What was the name of that prison?

What was your character's name?

What?

What? No.

What? Who did he call?

What's it gonna take for you to be done with this?

What's new?

What's that?

What's the most common double consonant in the English language?

What's the story with the kid?

What's this?

When F. Lee Bailey was with us two or three weeks ago?

When he was still in the hospital we could show him lineups all day long.

When I'm done with them, they don't need much help.

When Mel got the application from Valley Springs,

When police officers are no longer referred to as pigs.

When they can't get anyone on the tip line

When you catch him? When you arrest him?

When's the last time you ate something?

Where did you get that name?

Where did you see this guy?

Where is Riverside?

Where the hell does he expect me to find $100,000?

Where was he?

Where?

Where'd he go?

Where'd you get it?

Whether they printed it or not, I think.

Which he claimed were used to kill a chicken.

Which is why Sherwood couldn't get a match from Allen's samples.

Which is why we also used handwriting.

Which is why you contacted the Chronicle.

Which takes credit for the murder of cab driver Paul Stine,

Which the two major threats centered around.

Which they find here, here, and here.

While you were the organist there.

Who am I speaking with?

Who are you again?

Who cracked it?

Who etches in their own handwriting?

Who interviewed Leigh Allen two days after the Berryessa murders.

Who is this?

Who should I talk to in Napa so we can coordinate?

Who the Zodiac Killer personally requested to appear.

Who used to bring Darlene presents from Tijuana.

Who was that, Darlene?

Who would come to the restaurant where she worked.

Who's ever checked out these books and that's when I found this.

Who's out of their minds?

Who's Sherwood Morrill?

Who's there?

Whoa.

Whoever the Zodiac is, he's not someone I cleared.

Whoever this is, you owe me a new lamp.

Why do you wanna talk to me, Sam?

Why don't I just go and find out when we played that film?

Why don't you just get a photo off the original plaster cast?

Why hadn't you seen him in nine months?

Why I'm reading about breaks in this case

Why would he volunteer the day he was born?

Why would I call Solano?

Why?

Why? Are you embarrassed?

Why? What's up?

Why? Why do you need to do this?

Why'd you do it?

With a gun. No, with a hammer.

With Mike Mageau during your investigation

With the Zodiac's timeline.

With their free love and weird clothes.

With victims and suspects spread over hundreds of miles.

Without any hesitation.

Without anyone else or I'll jump...

Without including the threat on school children.

Would manifest it physically, altering his handwriting.

Would you like to go upstairs and check?

Would you read that, please?

Writing the dates on the side of the car.

Yeah, and he had a rag.

Yeah, and three?

Yeah, but he would have done it anyway,

Yeah, but he's never gonna read Herb Caen.

Yeah, but that print disqualified 2,500 suspects.

Yeah, but there are non letter symbols

Yeah, I cover crime in Vallejo. Ten minutes.

Yeah, I know, Chief. I have three daughters of my own.

Yeah, I know. Where's Armstrong?

Yeah, I think maybe when he was in the service.

Yeah, I'll have the penne vodka. But could you do it in a cream sauce?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, Luger.

Yeah, we got a partial in blood.

Yeah, yeah. Well, Paul has a gun.

Yeah, you know, when you were saying that the Zodiac...

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah. Did he leave a number?

Yeah. How can I help?

Yeah. How do you mean?

Yeah. I can see that.

Yeah. No need for due process, right?

Yeah. So...

Yeah. Some of this stuff is pretty creepy.

Yeah. That's true.

Yeah. The fucking library.

Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.

Yes, because of the phone calls on the night of her murder.

Yes, Melvin. You don't have to lie down back there.

Yes, Robert, I know.

Yes, sir, I do.

Yes, you have Sherwood Morrill in writing saying,

Yes.

Yes. Here to help.

Yes. It's the young lady sitting by herself.

Yes. There's a coffee shop right on the corner.

Yes. You want something to drink?

You actually carry that around with you?

You and Armstrong never would have found her.

You can call the San Francisco Police Department's newest tip line.

You can talk to him in here. Coke machine's busted, by the way.

You can't do that. It's not good for you.

You can't think of this case in normal police terms.

You can't write with both hands?

You coming, Mr. Graysmith?

You could just drop me off at my place and take the car.

You could just reach over the seat, pull out his wallet.

You don't have to go anywhere near the blood.

You don't have to pick anybody out

You don't have to stay.

You don't know?

You don't mean that.

You don't remember anyone

You don't smoke, do you?

You don't want any witnesses so you tell him to go down a block.

You ever try Japanese food?

You feel my excellent work is no longer in step with this trashy provincial rag,

You fellows certainly know how to put on a secret meeting.

You got a great desk.

You got any hard suspects?

You guys got one, too?

You have him seen with the ciphers.

You have quite enough to get started.

You hovered over my desk, you stole from wastebaskets.

You interviewed him at the refinery on August 4th.

You know how bad this looks?

You know how many murders we've had in San Francisco since then?

You know that we work in the daily business, right?

You know this used to be the town of Montecello?

You know what? Take some time off.

You know what? You know what? I'm gonna drive him today, okay?

You know,

You know, I might be able to help you.

You know, I think that was really offensive.

You know, I'm sorry, I don't know exactly where I put my keys.

You know, I've often thought of becoming an actor full time.

You know, if he comes any closer, I might be able to get that gun.

You know, just because people are gonna ask,

You know, never mind. I'll see to that.

You know, the problem is,

You know, these are all fascinating pieces of news, Robert,

You know, when you said it was dangerous, I just thought

You live alone?

You lost them?

You mean like retard?

You mean the symbol?

You mean Wallace Penny?

You might have had a conversation with regarding the Zodiac?

You need to get with a sketch artist.

You needed to speak to me?

You put yourself out there for him to see.

You should have called me, Paul.

You should keep the car.

You should sell these. You could do well.

You shouldn't smoke. It's a bad habit.

You sound like you're in a great deal of pain.

You stop calling my house. Do you understand me?

You think my brother's the Zodiac.

You through over there, can I get in there?

You waited for him to put it in park.

You wanna give it a go?

You want me to communicate that verbatim or can I spice it up a little?

You want to live, don't you? Well, this is your passport.

You were right, by the way. He didn't give his name.

You won't get hurt if you talk to me.

You wouldn't happen to have any animal crackers in there, would you?

You wouldn't make fun of it if you tried it.

You'll be tracing the call?

You'll pick me up?

You're a cop, man. Do the math.

You're doing that thing, the thing we discussed,

You're gonna catch him.

You're gonna have to find another way.

You're in Herb Caen.

You're looking in the wrong place.

You're not gonna believe this.

You're not thinking of paying him, are you, Mr. Mayor?

You're the one I talked to on the phone?

You're welcome to everything I have.

You're welcome.

You're wrong. It was important.

You've got five minutes.

Your toast is burning.

Zaroff? With a "Z"?

Zodiac claimed that he shot someone in their car.

Zodiac didn't cut off any of the victims' hands.

Zodiac hasn't written in three years.

Zodiac left gloves behind at the scene.

Zodiac reads it in the paper, and he writes a letter taking credit for it.

Zodiac.

"Kill. " Right, "kill. "

"Leymone. " ... and he says you look for patterns,

"Please no nasty ones. " "This is the Zodiac speaking.

A woman and her baby abducted. Fact.

About what? About Zodiac.

All done. Thank you.

And Dave Toschi sent you? Yes.

And he's back. I knew it.

and show him suspect photos? Why?

And that you run it. Well, who better than me?

And the ciphers. Could be code training in the Navy,

And who authorized you to tell me this? That's all I'm authorized to say.

And you have wine, great. I do.

And you were heading east or west? We were going west.

Animal crackers? They're in the car.

Are you a reporter? No, I'm Inspector Dave Toschi, SFPD.

Are you done with the fries? Go ahead.

Are you kidding me? Hi, Paul.

Are you sure? Yeah.

Are you sure? Yes, sir.

Avery's on two. Tell him to screw.

Back to the killer who wrote to you. Yes. Of course.

Be serious. I am serious.

Body or scene? It's your birthday, I'll take the body.

But that is not for publication. Hey, hey, come on.

But then the letters stop. What happens to Allen?

But there's an entire... Hidden city under the water.

But you do? I wish I could've taken the guy in there.

Can I take your jacket? No, thank you, I'm fine.

Coincidence? I don't know.

Coroner's here. Any witnesses?

Correct. Did you slow down?

Could give him motive. At the very least, it's home turf.

Cross? Hi. Yeah.

Dad, you don't have to wait with me. I know.

Dad? Yeah. Mark that.

Dave Toschi... Agrees with me.

Dave! Is he actually here?

Dave? Yeah. What's up?

Detective David Toschi, SFPD. How are you doing?

Did it ever? Yeah, it did.

Did they hear a shot? No.

Did you get a chance to see his face? I did.

Did you open it? No.

Did you see this? Unfortunately, yes.

Dispatch. Hey. Dave Toschi.

Do you have blackouts? Yes.

Do you have fits? No. I just have headaches.

Do you know who Paul Avery is? Sounds kind of familiar.

Do you want me to tell him to leave? Stay in the car.

Don't get any ideas. I'm not.

Don't tell me not to worry. Who was it? It's nothing.

Early lunch, or... Paul.

Editorial, now. Very well.

Fair enough. Fair enough. Please take your seats at this time.

For her, actually. For her?

Frisco huh? That's right. San Francisco.

Gentlemen. Dave.

Get away from the window. I'll meet you around front.

Get some sleep. Yeah, sure.

Glynnis said you were a cartoonist. Oh, yeah.

Go fuck yourself. Happily.

Good morning, Melvin. Good morning, Jim.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good. Yeah.

Gorgon. Gorgon. That's right.

Graysmith? Yeah, what is it?

Happy birthday, Bill. Thanks.

Have a seat. Thank you.

Have you considered the water theory? What?

He actually used those words? That's what made me remember.

He didn't call you about this? Hang on!

He retired. Is that what he told you?

He said that? Yeah.

He should be along soon. Oh, that's all right.

He tried to contact you here? Several times.

He was a projectionist there, right? For a time, yes.

He's still out there, Dave. No, Robert. I am through with this.

Hello? Bill?

Hello? Hi, this is Robert Graysmith.

Hello. Mr. Graysmith?

Here you go. Thanks.

Hey, hi. Hi.

Hey, Jack. Hey, Bawart.

Hey, just a second, buddy. I don't wanna go to the gas chamber.

Hey, Pete? Yeah, Dave.

Hey, take a gander at this code thing. Okay.

Homicide, please hold. Yeah, hold, please.

Homicide, Toschi. Dave, it's Jack Mulanax.

How about some tea? Oh, no, I'm all right.

How are you? Fantastic.

I always wanted to try it. So, why don't you?

I believe her murder was premeditated. Who is that?

I can't have them see me like this. Neither can I.

I don't want to be hurt. Why is he calling?

I enjoy books. Those are the same things.

I just got to sleep. Suspect's n****, male adult.

I just thought that... No, no, no.

I swallowed it. Why?

I truly am sorry. No, no. Thank you, Jack.

I want your money and your car keys. Okay.

I'll be back. Yeah.

I'll flip you for it. You wish.

I'll need to see more samples. Yeah, but is it...

I'll send one down. Thank you.

I'm cold. You're cold on the Fourth of July?

I'm not asking you as a cop. But I am a cop.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up. No, no, no.

I've been thinking. Yeah.

if you need anything, Duffy. Yeah.

In Santa Rosa? Sonoma County.

Inspector Toschi? Yeah? One moment, please.

Is the crime still in progress? Yes, please hurry.

Is this about the Riverside killing? Yes.

Is this an emergency? No, I just need to see one file.

Is this on the record? Well, what do you think?

It was Rick. It was Rick Marshall. No.

It'll be okay. Tried to kill me.

It'll screw us. We're already screwed.

Jesus. Look, two seconds.

Just guessed. The first one seemed too easy.

Just trying to do my job. Oh, really? Well, now I can't do mine.

Ken, can you hold on one second? Dad?

Leigh. What?

Let's meet and talk. Just us. Okay.

Like the Stine scene? We'll have those checked for blood.

May I be excused? Are they targets?

May I see it? Rick took it back in 1972.

May I talk to him? No.

Maybe he can get you a mimeo. Right.

Mel Nicolai, Justice. Mel.

Missing. It means they were stolen.

Morning. Morning.

Mr. Graysmith... I've narrowed it down

Mr. Vaughn? Mr. Graysmith?

Navy? I think so.

Neighbor's name? Bill White.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too.

No, I'm not a crook... ... Generation of hostility...

No, not really. Oh, that's honest.

No. Have you ever read

No. Over 200.

Nobody calls me that. Right.

Normal. Yeah.

Not for lack of trying. Not for lack of trying.

Now, when do the letters begin? July, '69.

Of course we slowed down. All right.

Oh, looming. Yeah.

Oh, okay. I'm gonna kill those kids!

Okay, I'll put it in the mail. We'll mail ours, too.

Okay, which one was that? The Lake Tahoe nurse goes missing.

Okay? Okay.

Okay. It's a bomb.

Okay. Mel Nicolai.

One file, just for one second. 8:00 a. m., when we're open.

or a water based name. This is your water theory?

Paul Stine is not. Exactly.

Paul, I've been thinking... Oh, God save us all.

Paul, what are you doing? Hyman, I wrote it. It's done.

Paul? Robert?

Paul? What? I cover crime in Vallejo?

Paul? Yep.

Paul. Yes, Templeton.

Pen, pen. V A U G H N.

Raw fish. I'm eating here, Bill.

Really? Who is this guy?

Really? Yes.

Rick didn't draw any posters. No, he drew this one.

Rick Marshall? Yeah.

Rick? No, I don't think so.

Right. Thank you. Yeah, sure.

Robert. Robert, stop it! What?

Sam. Yes?

San Francisco Police Department. Yes. There's a fight in a cab!

Santa Rosa? Where is he living? In his trailer.

School board. All right.

See that? Mesmerizing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She can vouch. Go put on the Folgers.

She was killed a day before Halloween. Yeah.

She was popular. Very.

Shit. KGO must have tipped other stations.

Shuffling. Stocky? Had a crew cut?

so I'm looking for patterns. No.

So the two cancel each other out. No, they don't.

So what do you want to do? Make some phone calls.
