Paul Avery:
Welcome, please put your stuff down. You're going down five rows and left. You're looking for the Modesto Bee from March. I'm going to stand here and attempt not to vomit.
[Graysmith turns right]
Paul Avery:
Left.
Robert Graysmith:
Left. What I am looking for?
Paul Avery:
Kathleen Johns. Also, you might want to pull the Chron from - never mind, I'll see to that.
[pulls out Zodiac letter]
Paul Avery:
Okay, now tell me what facts he gives.
Robert Graysmith:
Woman and her baby abducted.
Paul Avery:
Mm-hmm. Fact.
Robert Graysmith:
The car on fire?
Paul Avery:
Anything else?
Robert Graysmith:
Everything in the letter already appears in the article.
Paul Avery:
Yep. And he's done it before.
[pulls out a newspaper article]
Paul Avery:
Officer Richard Raditech, shot sitting in a parked car.
Robert Graysmith:
Zodiac claimed he shot someone in their car.
Paul Avery:
Yeah, a couple days after this article came out. Zodiac didn't do it, but he took credit for it anyway, because he's in it for the press. He even stole his symbol.
Robert Graysmith:
What?
Paul Avery:
[winces, realizes he's given out privileged information]
Yeah, shit.
[leans close to Graysmith]
Paul Avery:
If I show you something, you promise not to tell anyone?
Robert Graysmith:
[defensive]
Who would I tell?
Paul Avery:
[calming]
Okay. Totally solid point. Okay.
[pulls a clipped out magazine ad featuring a watch labeled "Zodiac"]
Paul Avery:
That's the only time that word and that symbol ever appeared before the letters.
[scoffs]
Paul Avery:
Guy stole his logo off a watch.
Paul Avery:
How can somebody who's killed 13...
Paul Avery:
He claims he's killed 13 people, but which ones can we actually confirm? There's three in Vallejo, one in Berryessa, the cabby. That's it.
[bemused at Graysmith's confused reaction]
Paul Avery:
Bobby, you almost look disappointed.
