Catch Me a Killer

Police are looking. They need someone like you.

For what? The police don't use psychologists.

They need a forensic profiler.

We don't have profilers in this country.

You'll be the first.

We're moving you wherever you're needed,

and you will be needed everywhere.

Your work's impressive, Micki.

The detectives don't seem to like it.

Think I'm interfering.

Well, that's because we chase ghosts.

This is what you do, isn't it? You extract information.

My job requires that I look at what he's done,

and I have to imagine committing those crimes.

If I don't give myself over to it completely,

it doesn't work.

All right, all right.

Hold onto yourself when you go in there.

You're trying to get under his skin, but just make sure

to climb back up again.

Since I took this job,

it gets pretty noisy in my head.

It's only gonna get worse.

I know you're under a lot of pressure. There is a cost.

What you've described

seems to be a mild panic attack.

Your mind is trying to tell you something.

That it might not be able to process everything

that's being thrown at it.

Why did it take you so long to catch me?

Well, I was tired of killing,

but I could never have stopped, until you stopped me.

He was never going to stop by himself.

It's down to us.

To me.

- It's not your fault. - It is my fault.

There's just so many dead women. I...

I have to go deeper.

Mama.

Mama!

Mama?

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Hi.

Hello. How are you doing?

Who died?

Our dreams.

Our pride.

Yeah.

Can I get a brandy and coke, please?

- Hey. - Oh, hello.

- How are you? - Good.

How are you?

Better than I was. How's Mark?

Oh, he's good.

Well, he's busy, but aren't we all?

I know. No, we're in a really good place, I think.

Good. I'm glad.

That's good, Micki.

- Yeah, you want a smoke? - Mm.

Please.

Thanks.

You look like shit.

Oh.

Thank you.

Are you getting enough sleep?

Sleep? Oh, yeah, I've heard of that, I think.

Well, I have some good news for you,

but it's nothing that's going to guarantee you bed rest

in the foreseeable future.

Mm-hm?

Your course has been approved. You can start.

- Really? - Yeah.

Funding for 20 officers to be trained by you,

in profiling at the Academy in Paarl.

Course starts in three weeks.

Well, if you've changed your mind-

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, Brigadier.

I've never seen anybody so happy

to be served with a ton of new work.

Anyway, since you're in the mood for more work,

here's a new shit storm.

My favourite kind.

Okay, um...

I will get right on this.

Thank you.

News?

I got the funding for my course.

Wow, Micki, that's great! Well done.

Oh, thank you. I'm really hoping you'll get involved.

Well, I'd like that.

And we've got a new case.

Need to travel. I'm so done with travelling.

I honestly don't know how you keep up with where you are.

Must make your head spin.

Car number plates.

That's how I know where I am.

Oh.

Good system.

So, what's the case?

Yeah, well...

Sharon Jabavu.

Cause of death, as you can see, gunshot wound to the head.

It was a good shot. It's accurate.

I read the dockets.

Five of the earlier victims

were shot above the left eyebrow.

Five people shot in the left side of the chest.

Two in the right. - Exactly.

And he comes out of nowhere, every time. It's...

It's like trying to catch a fucking wisp of smoke.

Well, no mutilation or other injuries?

No, not in the main, but in this victim,

there was evidence that she was raped.

Most likely post-mortem.

I've sent samples to the lab for DNA analysis.

And rapist, same person as the killer?

Uh, we don't know.

Interesting.

Well, what could it mean?

I don't know, but any change in an established pattern

is important to note.

If the killer did rape her,

it could mean he's taking more risks.

That could mean more mistakes.

Well, it's possible. Yeah.

Let's hope so, because we have a town full of people

who are too petrified to go to sleep,

because of this bastard.

Yep. This is Phoswa Village.

A lot of the shootings happened here.

Everybody's just terrified.

He's killed 16 people in under a year?

Yep. Injured another 10.

You okay?

Ah, it's just my kid.

Waiting for the wife to ring. Give me an update.

Little guy's not doing well.

Can we get the survivors in?

Anyone who was either shot by him, or saw him shoot.

See if there's any kind of pattern.

Well, we have the witness statements.

Yeah, but I need to hear it for myself.

I need to get a proper sense of him.

Okay. I'll fix it up.

This is Rob, hey?

Can you round up the witnesses

for Dr. Pistorius to re-interview?

Yep. Yep, that's what I said.

Thanks. Cheers.

This is one of our recent scenes that

happened a few weeks ago.

One of three shootings in one night.

You can go in. No one else lives here.

The victim lived alone?

Yes. Oupa Luvuno.

He was shot in the chest, sometime during the night.

Eye witness saw the shooter eating porridge outside,

after the shots were heard.

Took his life, and then took his dinner.

He was wearing a balaclava again.

Other witnesses confirmed it.
