He is becoming increasingly frustrated by his lack of success and the cops think he might be channeling his anger into murderbut he doesnt seem to be at all concerned that they are hot on his trail. As Turner and Marcinko close in on Waller they have to wonder: is he the killer? And if he isntwho is?
