Tragedy in Knoxville.

Two days ago,
Sunday morning, June 21st,
7
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,303
a lone gunman entered
8
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,640

University campus
9
00:00:38,873 --> 00:00:39,974
with rifle in hand.
10
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,409
There, he climbed
the clock tower
11
00:00:42,510 --> 00:00:45,145
and began firing
into the crowds below.
12
00:00:45,613 --> 00:00:49,216
Thirteen are reported dead,
with 26 critically injured.

the identity of the shooter,

is reporting
18

you found me.

from your letters, Mr. DuKent,

you know quite a bit about me.

And once you and I tip over,
we're no longer relevant.

there was these

00:52:19,807 --> 00:52:21,408
short-wave radio broadcasts
703
00:52:21,475 --> 00:52:24,712
that sent out these cryptic
messages across the airwaves.
704
00:52:25,647 --> 00:52:26,648

705
00:52:26,714 --> 00:52:28,850
spouting out numbers
and shit in German.
706
00:52:30,518 --> 00:52:32,152
And to the general public,
it sounded like
707
00:52:32,252 --> 00:52:34,287
a bunch of nonsense,
when in actual fact,
708
00:52:34,354 --> 00:52:36,824
it was a complex cipher.
709

instead of marking X on a window
710

in a hollow tooth,
711
00:52:43,698 --> 00:52:45,900
these sons of bitches
had the audacity
712
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,102
to send their top-secret
transmission
713
00:52:48,636 --> 00:52:51,839
right out into the open
for the whole world to hear.
714

a hidden message in that book?

Well, you didn't read it,
now did you?
717
00:53:01,381 --> 00:53:02,984

the color turquoise
to a blind man.
719
