david: mrs. crane, do you know where we can find your son? no. nathan and i haven't talked since i asked him to leave. that was a few weeks ago. packed his van and left. is this him? yes. he was in the service until a year ago. nathan loved the army. growing up without a father, he never had that kind of structure and discipline before. do you know why he left the army? he wasn't very specific. he just came home one day and said it didn't work out. you said that you asked nathan to move out. he had a tough time holding down a job. he'd find something and there's a problem with the boss or a coworker and he quits. he had bad luck that way. and then there's my boyfriend. the two of them just couldn't get along. even at my age, i'm entitled to have a life, aren't i?

yes, indeed. he applied for and was rejected from the army sniper school at fort benning. subsequent bad conduct discharge for "inability to conform to the requirements of military life." he's a good marksman, though. crane did drywall in the building across from the movie theater. he was also fired from a landscaping company that worked the empty house. okay, let's get an apb out on his van, and that photo to everybody: lapd... sheriff's department... i got it. psychological profile fits like a glove; rejected by the army, a surrogate father, returns home to be rejected by the mother. his instructor noted that he was impulsive on the range. also fits. these killings are expressions of juvenile power fantasies. okay, but why do you think he goes back to the job sites?

he's revisiting the scenes of his failures and converting them to successes by killing. so you have any sense where he would go next? well, so far, he hasn't visited the same site twice, either by guile or because he's "conquered" each one. my guess is, he'll move on to the next failed job and he'll move on quickly. from a pure sniping point of view, i like these two. all right, let's see. he was a janitor at the banitek tower... and a sheet metal punch at the southmore factory. easy access, high windows, target-rich environments. david, why don't you take southmore, we're gonna take the office park. notify lapd. i want backup at both locations: marked cars, swat, air units... helicopters? you trying to scare him away? no, we're just going to make sure he doesn't shoot anyone else, that's for sure. don!

the shooter's down. is he okay? what, are you crazy? you could have got yourself killed. i was just... working on some probabilities as to where i thought crane might position himself. actually, he was pretty close. i want to get you out of here. are you all right? i'm sorry. it's all right. it's just next time, use a phone. okay? hey, dad, you're painting, huh? staining. your brother, the homeowner, it's his idea. hey, look, i was thinking about what you said the other day when you came by for lunch. i think you're right. wow. as delighted as i am to hear those words come out of the mouths of either of my sons the fact is i wasn't. your brother's his own man. i mean, if charlie wants to run off and do slightly dangerous things, then i'll just have to learn to live with it. same as i did with you.

you told him? yeah, about the gun range. the gun range. that you shot a rifle. he shot a rifle... did a great job. fired the rifle. yeah. see? i'm perfectly fine. i didn't fall off the ladder, i didn't collapse. i certainly hope you got that out of your system now. definitely. what color paint are you using? no, no, it's not paint. stain. you can't paint a craftsman house. see, they're historically protected. well, even if everyone else paints their houses blue, charlie? not even. here, i'll help you. captioning sponsored by cbs and paramount network television captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
