and occult-related crime.
:27:04
He was instrumental in breaking
the Santeria case last summer.
:27:07
No offense, but didn't that
case just end in an acquittal?
:27:09
[ Laughter ]
:27:10
That's right.
:27:14
The problem with prosecuting
occult crime...
:27:16
is the judicial concept
of reasonable doubt.
:27:20
The motives can be so bizarre,
so far beyond reason,
:27:23
that they're hard
for a jury to accept.
:27:26
That means we have to work
twice as hard to get a conviction.
:27:28
But our perp could just be
some run-of-the-mill psycho...
:27:31
who gets his stuff
off the back of a comic book.
:27:32
I don't think so.
:27:33
Whoever did this has a background
in classic occult mysticism.
:27:38
This symbol was used
in ceremonial sacrifice...
:27:40
as far back
as 16th century Europe.
:27:43
The tines on the trident
point left,
:27:45
signifying the left-hand path
of Satanists.
:27:49
It was a sign of a sect
of Luciferians...
:27:51
who took the fallen angel
mythology literally.
:27:54
Then you think
the perp's got motives...
:27:55
- besides thrill kills?
- Yes.
:27:58
The crimes were meant
to be against God, not men.
:28:01
But all I can give you
right now is a time frame.
:28:05
All of the victims' bodies
also had these symbols...
:28:10
branded on them--
Pascua Negra.
:28:12
The translation would be
''Black Easter.''
:28:17
Whatever our man is up to
will happen on Easter eve.
:28:19
That's only about a week away.
Maybe this is almost over.
:28:22
Or maybe in our perp's mind
that's when it really begins.
:28:26
No, last night.
:28:28
I had just taken a blood sample
when she ran off.
:28:34
How could her
paperwork disappear?
:28:39
I just need her name.
All right, thanks.
