最危险的动物（2020）

都想独自侦破十二宫杀手案
wanted to be the one to solve the Zodiac case.
这一切的源头
There's nonsensical ego
都是荒谬的自尊心
at the core of so much of this,
这可能会阻碍
and that can work against
破案进度
solving the case.
自吹自擂的"杀手"
来信声称 作者
杀害出租车司机及其余四人
当我查看
As I looked at the details
保罗·斯泰恩谋杀案的细节时
from the Paul Stine murder,
我突然想到了许多事情
many things popped for me.
我从波克城市目录中得知
I discovered through the Polk City directories
布♥什♥大道 508公♥寓♥
我父亲住在
that my father lived at
布♥什♥大道797号♥
797 Bush Avenue,
布♥什♥大道801号♥
正是距离十二宫杀手
which is exactly two blocks from where
打保罗·斯泰恩出租车的两个街区外
the Zodiac hailed Paul Stine's cab.
不过保罗·斯泰恩谋杀案中
But the most compelling thing
最具说服力的一点
about the Paul Stine murder
是出租车上的血指纹
was the bloody fingerprints left on the cab.
警方未能提取出
The police, they weren't able to extract
完整的指纹
a complete fingerprint,
但我首先注意到的是此人的
but the first thing I noticed is this guy
右手食指上有一个独特的伤疤
has a distinctive scar on his right index finger,
伤疤的方向和我父亲的一模一样
going in the exact same direction as my father's.
右手食指
我求助了鲍勃·加勒特 一名指纹专家
I reached out to Bob Garrett, who's a fingerprint expert.
加勒特先生告诉我
Mr. Garrett told me that
伤疤是无法进行比对的
scars cannot be compared.
不过 他重叠了十二宫杀手的指纹
But, he did an overlay from the Zodiac print
十二宫杀手的指纹
范的指纹
和范的指纹
against Van's print,
看看结果
and, I mean, you can look at that
重叠后的指纹
你就心中有数了
and decide for yourself.
加里·斯图尔特父亲的伤疤
What are the odds that Gary Stewart's father
和十二宫杀手的伤疤一致的概率能有多大
could have the same scar as the Zodiac Killer?
此外还有另一封信
And there was another message.
这上面有十二宫杀手的标志
This one was signed with the symbol of the Zodiac
并且编写成了密文
and written in code.
专家们尚未破译出
The experts have yet to decipher
密文的含义
the meaning of this cryptogram.
340密文被视为
The 340 Cipher is considered
十二宫杀手最复杂的密文
the Zodiac's most sophisticated cipher,
它被称为340密文 是因为其包含了
and it's called the 340 because it contains
340个字符
340 characters.
所有专家都尝试过破解340密文
All the experts tried to solve the 340 Cipher,
而他们缺少的那部分线索
but the one piece of information they were missing
就是我父亲的名字
was my father's name.
小厄尔·范多恩贝斯特
我父亲创造这个密文时
My father created this cipher
完美地嵌入了他的名字
to fit his name perfectly,
用到了密文的全部17列
utilizing all 17 columns of the cipher.
一目了然
You can see it clearly.
厄尔
E... a... r... l...
范
V... a... n...
贝斯特
B... e... s... t...
他第一次把"小"也写出来了
And he spelled out Junior for the very first time.
小
J... u... n... i... o... r.
"小厄尔·范贝斯特" 反向拼写
"Earl Van Best Junior," Backward.
事实证明 我父亲的名字
The fact that my father's name
完美嵌入密文
fits perfectly,
并且用到了每一列
utilizing every column,
这不仅独一无二
is not only unique,
在我看来 还是一次有力的证明
but I think astronomical to the point to where
证明了他肯定是十二宫杀手
it had to be him.
旧金山
In San Francisco
还有两封信件
two more communications
信件来自于自称是
have been received from the person who calls himself
十二宫杀手的人
the Zodiac Killer.
吾名十二宫
This is the Zodiac speaking.
直到十月末
Up until the end of October,
我已经杀了七个人
I have killed seven people.
我对警♥察♥很生气
I have grown rather angry with the police
因为他们在我的事上撒了谎
for their telling lies about me,
所以当我再杀人
so I shall no longer announce to anyone
我将不再告诉任何人
when I commit my murders.
它们将看起来像普通的抢劫案
They shall look like routine robberies,
仇杀 和一些伪造的事故
killings of anger, and a few fake accidents.
警♥察♥永远抓不到我了
The police shall never catch me
因为我比他们聪明太多了
because I've been too clever for them.
第一
One,
只有当我杀人时 我才和描述中一样
I look like the description only when I do my thing.
第二 到目前为止
Two, as of yet,
我没留下过指纹
I have left no fingerprints behind me,
这点与警♥察♥所说的恰恰相反
contrary to what the police say.
我杀人时 刷了透明的指尖保护
In my killings, I wear transparent fingertip guards.
我的指尖上涂了两层航模胶水
All it is is two coats of airplane cement coated onto my fingertips.
非常不起眼又十分有效
Quite unnoticeable and very effective.
还有 两名警♥察♥
P.S., two cops pulled a goof
在我离开出租车三分钟后犯了个愚蠢的错误
about three minutes after I left the cab.
当这辆警车停下来时 我正下山
I was walking down the hill when this cop car pulled up
他们问我是否看到可疑人士
and asked if I saw anyone being suspicious,
我回答 "有
and I said, "Yes.
刚才有个人跑过去了 手里拿着枪"
There was this man who was running by, waving a gun."
这些警♥察♥赶紧去追
And the cops peeled rubber.
而我消失了 再也没出现过
And I disappeared, never to be seen again.
猪 揭你们的老底没让你们生气吧 如果你们这些警♥察♥认为我会像我说的那样坐公交 你们就该在自己脑袋上来一枪
猪 揭你们的老底
Hey, pig, doesn't it rile you up
没让你们生气吧
to have your nose rubbed in your boo-boos?
揭你们的老底
这封十二宫杀手新写的信
The new letters from the Zodiac Killer
被寄到了《旧金山纪事报》
were sent to the San Francisco Chronicle.
还有一张贺卡 上面写着
There was also a greeting card which said,
十二宫杀手声称"我已经杀了七个人"
受害女性可能是圣何塞人
"抱歉我没早点写信
"Sorry I haven't written sooner.
我刚洗了我的钢笔"
I just washed my pen."
这张贺卡和十二宫杀手最新的一份信
一起寄到《旧金山纪事报》
每个人都认为 十二宫杀手案
Everyone always thought that the Zodiac case
会因笔迹而破案
would be solved with handwriting.
在我查找我父亲资料的过程中
And in my search for my father,
我发现了我父母的结婚证书
I discovered my father's marriage certificate to my mother.
结婚证书
我看过十二宫杀手的信 我很了解
And I had seen the Zodiac letters enough to know
当我看到这份证书时
when I looked down at that piece of paper...
我的心跳都停止了
I mean, my heart stopped.
我见过这个笔迹
I had seen that handwriting before.
厄尔·范贝斯特
加利福尼亚州
旧金山
有些字迹看起来非常相似
Some of this looks really, really similar.
所以 我联♥系♥了迈克·瓦克斯
So, I contacted Michael Wakshull,
他是笔迹鉴定专家
who is a forensic handwriting expert.
作为文件鉴定员
As a document examiner,
在比较笔迹时
at least 21 different attributes that we look at
迈克·瓦克斯
法医文件鉴定员
我们至少会看二十一种特征
for handwriting comparison.
其中包括字母的相对高度
Some of those are relative height of the letter.
那个人字写得很大吗 他们字写得很小吗
Does the person write large? Do they write small?
他们写的是草书 还是印刷体
Do they write in cursive? Do they write in print?
全部是大写 还是大小写都有
Is it all uppercase or is it uppercase lowercase?
"I"这个字母的点是怎么写的
How does the person dot the I?
是写在正上方
Do they dot it right over the I,
还是偏右或偏左
or do they dot it to the right, to the left?
这些属性中没有一个
And no one of those attributes
能确认或否认是不是同一个人
will confirm or not confirm that it's a person.
