She's memorized you,
Thomas.

:15:03
I stole "poignant flesh"
:15:06
from Rich.
:15:08
- I don't remember saying that.
- You were drunk.

:15:10
I don't think I'd ever
use that word.

:15:12
That's so like you.
:15:14
You probably read more
than anybody I've ever met.

:15:17
But you always pretend
you'd rather be drinking beer

:15:19
- At a Red Sox game.
- Depends on who's pitching.

How did Wagner know
the men would be gone?

:15:27
Sorry. Still thinking
about the murders.

:15:30
But Louis Wagner...
the man they hanged...

:15:32
how did he know
the women would be alone?

:15:34
He's got a 12-mile row
back to shore,

:15:36
why take time
to drink tea?

:15:38
And why cover one woman's face
and not the other's?

:15:42
Axe murderers don't tend to have
the most razor- sharp intellects.

:15:47
Maybe her eyes were open.
It was the sight of them,

:15:49
the accusation.
:15:51
He couldn't stand to have her
looking at him.

:15:53
So it was an act
of passion.

:15:56
But using an axe
requires intimacy.

:16:01
Think about...
:16:04
how close you have to be
to your victim...

:16:08
the vibration in your hand,
:16:10
and the handle as the blade
strikes bone.

:16:14
The spray of blood
warm on your face,

:16:17
and standing over her,
her last choking gasps.

:16:22
If he had gone there
with the intent to murder,

:16:24
he would've taken a gun.
:16:29
I think the killer was in love
with one of the women.

:16:32
And murder was the only way
he could possess her.

:16:34
I like that.
:16:53
Wagner... Wagner.
:16:55
He came into the house.
:16:57
Wagner?
:16:59
He took an axe
