- Fran. - Hi.
- Fran, I need some help. - You're so wet. Are you okay?
Yeah, Fran, I need somebody to talk to.
It's driving me crazy.
Listen to me.
There's Speck, a small-town New Mexico travelling salesman.
Fulcher, a schoolteacher from Boulder and then Starkey.
I got a lock on him. It's just there's something missing, and I can't...
It's okay.
Why don't you come in.
No, come out. Get dressed.
We're right on the edge of this thing, come on.
Come here. Come here.
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
You gotta keep calm, okay?
Fran...
I've been having these dreams.
I've been seeing things again...
...and I don't know what they mean.
Come inside, Tom. Come in.
No, I can't.
I almost have it, Fran.
I'm worried about you.
I love you, Fran.
I love you.
Mrs. Speck, did your husband keep any chemicals?
Did he have any unusual hobbies? Did he...?
Was he an avid photographer?
- Did he have an interest in sewing? - No, why?
I'm taking your time. I'm sorry to ask you these questions.
I'm sorry I don't have more time, Agent Mackelway, but it's my PTA day.
I'm sorry. I should have called.
I wish I could've helped you.
I'm FBI.
Yeah, I'll bet.
What the hell is that?
We managed to identify the remains of 10 of the 21 victims found...
... in the attic of Harold A. Speck...
... the travelling salesman from Truth or Consequences.
They were mostly teenagers. More than half were runaways.
The revelation that Speck was a serial killer...
... led us to examine Barney Fulcher...
... the victim that Agent Kulok and I found at the All American Diner.
After an extensive search of his home, we found the remains of nine people...
... mostly boys between the ages of 9 and 14.
The last victim, Raymond Stark ey...
... who vanished after his acquittal six months ago, we all know about.
For some reason, this man is identifying and targeting serial killers.
Not necessarily. We got two other bodies from Santa Fe...
... so killers aren't his only victims.
We don't know those bodies had anything to do with O'Ryan.
Stick to what we know. He's a transient with mental illness.
He also happens to think he's a former agent of this bureau.
I want this man apprehended now.
Swung on and missed. Strike two.
Here's the wind-up. Swung on and missed. Strike three.
Even though he hit over.300 his previous three seasons...
... it wasn't until last year that he made the all-star team.
Sergeant, copy that. Possible stolen vehicle.
We are checking NCIC for warrants.
Good afternoon.
Afternoon, officer.
See your driver's license, sir?
Of course.
Is there a problem?
- Can I see your registration, please? - Sure.
You mind stepping out of the car, please?
I'm carrying something that could be construed as a weapon.
I'd like to hand it over so you won't think I'm trying to conceal anything.
What kind of weapon, sir?
A hunting knife, right here on my hip.
On my way to the woods. My gear's in the trunk.
Would you like me to hand it to you? I don't know what the procedure is.
Take the weapon off your hip, place it on the ground, kick it towards me.
Happy to.
What exactly were you planning on hunting?
A 50-foot shark.
- I used to be in law enforcement too. - Is that right?
FBI. Of course, that was some years ago now.
Psy ops, strictly classified.
Are you on any type of medication, or have you been drinking today?
- Sir? - I'm sorry.
I just found myself wondering what was inside that truck.
Sir, I'm gonna ask you to hand me the keys to your vehicle, please.
- Fran? - Yeah?
O'Ryan was here. Damn it, O'Ryan was here.
He left that in my jacket.
Don't do this again, Tom. Don't.
Tom, don't do this.
You're gonna help me.
You're gonna help me turn it off. Nobody told me how to turn it off.
- And you're gonna help me turn it off. - You're here.
Help me turn it off.

Don't think.
Focus on the target.
Everyone is gonna wind up with severe psychological trauma.
You're high or genius-level intelligence...
... unmarried, with no record of long or serious relationships.
- The fear. - And you're all obsessive...
- ... in nature. - Describe the person.
Don't stop the pen from moving.
This girl's afraid. She's afraid.
Afraid. You're becoming emotionally entrained with the victim.
- Collection process.
It is not meant to be an experience.
You're gonna help me.
You're gonna help me turn it off.
Nobody's told us how to turn it off...
... and you're gonna help me turn it off.
Help me turn it off.
You're gonna help me.
Turn it off.
Icarus began as a means of gathering military intelligence...

Focus.
One target at a time.
Stay objective.
Do not identify with the victim.
Charlie?
Charlie!
Charlie?!
Charlie!
Charlie!!
Charlie?!
Charlie!!
Here they are, Mackelway.
Look.
No, I won't tell! No, please!
Shut it off for me!
You got one of those pins in Deming? O'Ryan was spotted there yesterday.
He took a squad car and a sidearm off a highway patrolman.
About an hour later a 5-year-old boy was abducted a mile up the interstate.
We also found the bodies of two females in a Dumpster off the highway.
Your boy's been busy.
We're establishing a perimeter around the city.
Was the patrolman hurt?
- What's the difference? - He wasn't, was he?
He was fine. The girls in the Dumpster had fatal injuries.
O'Ryan's not the guy.
He's chasing the guy or that patrolman would be dead.
Can I ship this guy back to Dallas?
O'Ryan was FBI, you ever heard of a project called Icarus?
- No. - Have you?
It's agents trained to see distant locations...
...using only the mind. They call it remote viewing.
Bureau stole it from the Army.
They use it to track down serial killers.
What? You don't believe me? It's bullshit? It's voodoo?
It worked. They made a science of it.
That's how he drew this. He'd never been in this house...
...he just saw what was there. The bureau taught him...
...and he's using it to track Suspect Zero.
You know what? I'm extremely tired of that term.
Profile the guy. He's straight out of Quantico.
He's working like we would.
He's not kidnapping, he's chasing the guy...
...that's doing the kidnapping. Look at the map.
Okay.
What you're telling me is all these abductions are the work of one guy.
Yes.
Mac, do you realize how insane that is?
Fran, please help me. He's not listening to me.
Tom, I'm not sure that you're seeing things very clearly right now.
Tom...
...let's just try something that actually makes sense.
This guy sends in these faxes.
He picks off three scumbags. Why?
So that we'll think what you're thinking, that we got a friend.
Somebody who's willing to take out the trash for us, and it's horseshit.
What if it isn't?
What if there is a Suspect Zero, and O'Ryan's the one guy who's got a shot?
For fuck's sake, Mackelway. When did you start buying into this guy?
Well, he's smarter than we are.
Speak for yourself.
I'm going to Deming. You can take the rest of the day off.
I'll be damned.
- Kulok here. - Hey.
- Where are you? - I'm headed towards Tucumcari.
Listen, those marks on the bodies, could they be freezer burns?
Let me get into this.
Yeah.
There's crystallization because the blood never clotted. Freezer burn.
He keeps the bodies in a freezer and buries them 1000 miles apart?
- Hey, Tom, what's going on? - I got a possible suspect.
That kid's been a brat all morning. I turned around...
See what you caused?
Are you afraid?
It'd be custom here at this point to start praying. I see a lot of that.
Haven't heard too many answers though.
You're alone.
Come on. Are you afraid?
- Where's the boy? - My, my!
Must be extremely satisfying to hear yourself say something so heroic.
I'm almost envious.
The boy's in pieces under the bed.
Now are you afraid?
I know what you're thinking, " Pain is coming. Will I take it like a man."
Let me put you at ease, you won't.
None of them do. Men, women, children, they all weep, they all beg.
They pass out, piss themselves, attempt negotiations.
You wouldn't believe how many men I've seen where you are.
Grown men with wives and children at home...
...offering sexual gratification for a five-minute reprieve. It's pathetic.
Are you afraid?
When they realize there's nothing left to negotiate, and they're helpless...
Well, the look in their eyes, the level of surrender...
...it's almost pornographic.
I put that mirror here because I didn't want you to miss it.
Are you afraid?
- Look in the mirror. - Are you afraid?
Look in the mirror, O'Ryan.
- Hey, you, fucking Mackelway. - Look at yourself, look in the mirror.
- Are you afraid, Mackelway? - Look at yourself.
- Are you afraid?! - No, I'm not afraid.
Open your eyes! Open your eyes, goddamn it...
...or I'll cut the fucking lids off! - Then cut the fucking lids off!
The initiation used to be more civil.
I'm sorry about that. You're part of it now.
There were five of us, you know. The most skilled...
...technical remote viewers on Project Icarus.
You come in in the morning, have a cup of coffee, talk about the Yankees.
You go to your room with your pen...
...and your pad of paper, always alone.
You try and lock in, you crank out an ideogram.
Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy.
He might be driving his car, having a beer, brushing his teeth...
...cutting someone's eyes out.
If you did it right, you got it all.
The way it sounded, the way it smelled.
Those people were looking right up at you, begging you for mercy.
It was like being God.
But, of course, you're not God. Can't do a thing for them.
They wired us into this current, the five of us...
...darkness, the pit itself.
We were plugged right into it, and no one taught us how to turn it off.
We saw things men shouldn't see.
Agony...
...torture...
...evil.
It never shut off.
I checked once with all the guys that'd...
...been on the project when it was just used for intel.
You know, finding gun-runners and drug lords, Soviet missile sites...
...even the Iran hostages.
Anyway, I checked with them, and they're all okay.
But the five of us...
...plugged into the brains and nervous systems of human beings...
...that's when we lost it.
We're all either dead or institutionalised.
After a while, those conversations about the Yankees became impossible.
O'Ryan.
Those faxes...
...the missings...
...how many of them are his?
All of them.
You were the missing piece, Mac.
Now everything is in place.
All you have to do is finish it.
This is Mackelway.
I'm travelling north, approaching I-54 at Tucumcari, request backup.
I'm pursuing a possible suspect in a refrigerated truck.
Brake!
Hey, Tom!
- Tom! - Get the trailer open!
There's a kid in the trailer.
Hey, buddy.
You okay?
I got you, okay?
Okay, come here.
I got you.
- Get an ambulance. - Yes, ma'am.
I knew I was right about you.
No. No, that wasn't me.
Of course it was you.
Wasn't me. Wasn't the wind.
You beat him to death.
Now all you have to do is finish it. Finish it!
Understand, none of this was arbitrary.
We were chosen, you and I. It's not a bad start, Mac.
You made the world a little safer. We made justice.
- This wasn't justice. - Yes, it was!
And so is this.
I'm not going to kill you, O'Ryan.
You already have. I've seen it a thousand times.
- No, you saw wrong. - That's impossible!
I saw us here. I saw all of it!
Me baiting you, testing you! Look at him!
You've arrived! You're cursed, like me...
...only you keep running from it!
You hear things, you see things...
...that's why you can't sleep. Why your head always aches.
Get up.
There is no Zero.
You're confused, old man. Can't you see that?
You think we did something mythical here today?
You think we put an end to evil? We killed a deviant, that's all.
There are thousands of them out there.
O'Ryan, you're a guy with a skill.
You're not God. You can't see everything.
You don't decide what's justice.
Freeze!
Please, Mac.
I can't sleep anymore.
I keep seeing all those faces.
The ones I couldn't save.
All those missings.
You know, they never blink.
They're all in here.
I want you to shut it off for me.
Please, Mac, I'm so tired.
I just want you to shut it off for me. Shut it off for me.
I can't.
I'm not you.
Yet.
So tired.
Thank you.
