Monster Volume 5 : After the Carnival Chapter the Thirty-Third The Monster's Abyss - Page 5 - Gillen: I was divorced three years ago. No... really, it was more like my wife just left me. It was because I didn't pay as much attention to her, as I did to this thing right here. I have over 20,000 cassette tapes in my study at home... My wife told me: "You're nothing but a collecter who looks into the hearts of others." Jurgens: Doctor... Gillen: Yes? Chapter 33 : The Monster's Abyss - Page 6 - Jurgens: You've got problems. Chapter 33 : The Monster's Abyss - Page 7 - Gillen: ...maybe I do. Peering into the deep ravines that lay at the bottom of a person's heart... Even I acknowledge that it is possible I could sink into my own. Ah... allow me to say one thing. Don't think you can use me to get transferred from prison to a mental hospital. I'm only writing a thesis on you. As a psychologist. Now, about your fourth murder, an 18-year-old girl in Munich. - Page 8 - Gillen: Do you remember feeling any sexual stimulation when you stabbed her? Jurgens: Not really... Gillen: I see... but you orgasmed at the time, did you not? Jurgens: Doctor... Gillen: Hmm? Jurgens: Ask me about the twelfth murder, instead. Gillen: '94... Mrs. Hanna Kemp of Krupp-Haus... age 52... Jurgens: When I did that, I... Gillen: No, that's okay. - Page 9 - Gillen: You don't need to tell me about that. I'm sure we'll get around to it eventually, but I would rather discuss the first eleven murders, instead. Understand...? Now, more questions. Does your sexual excitement peak before or after you kill...? [Hattingen] Gillen: As noted, Peter Jurgens, age 32, has committed eleven murders in a space of nine years. His victims were long haired girls of ages 16 to 18... - Page 10 - Gillen: These can clearly be categorized as sexual murders. However... He also claims to have done one other murder apart from the previous eleven. But there are too many discrepancies between both groups... Kemp was old, 52 years, and there was no signs of any sexual activity at the scene of the murder... Jurgens says he did that at the bequest of a friend of his... He most likely wishes to suggest he has multiple personalities, a la K. Bianchi. Jurgens is the FBI's typical "orderly killer", whose last act is done to throw off investigators. He is quite intelligent, and a very capable speaker. Falling into this last case and analyzing it could unknowingly lead one into a blind alley... Running an analyzation on him, excluding the final murder... Door: Click... - Page 11 - Gillen: Who is it? Who's back there? Tenma: It's me, Rudi. Gillen: Huh? Door: (crik...) Gillen: Wha... - Page 12 - Gillen: T... Tenma... Well, what a surprise! Tenma: Forgive me. This is the only way I could reach you... You know what's happened with me. Gillen: Yes, I've heard. I can hardly believe someone like you would be chased by the police... - Page 13 - Tenma: Do you think I am a serial killer? Gillen: I don't know... I only know the rumors from the paper, the news, and old college friends... But I was quite astonished, that the sterling medical student I once knew was a criminal. I suppose it must be difficult, living on the run daily. But why did you choose to see me, out of all the old college classmates we have? Tenma: Because... Gillen: We weren't good friends. And besides... You disdained me. - Page 14 - Tenma: Huh...? Gillen: No, don't try to fool me. I knew it when we crossed eyes. You disdained me. Haha, I see. You're caught in a dilemma... You want me to pay back what I owed you from that time. Tenma: No... Gillen: Is it money? If that's it, just say the word. I can get you as much as I can. Tenma: That's not it... I heard that you were big in the criminal psychology field... There's something I want you to see. - Page 15 - Letters: "Look at me! Look at me! The monster inside me has already grown this large, Dr. Tenma!" "Help! The monster inside me is about to explode!" Gillen: What are these? - Page 16 - Gillen: I see... So you saved the life of a young boy through surgery, ten years ago... And he is the true culprit of the hospital director's murder which you have been accused of... Furthermore, he killed all the couples who acted as foster parents... And now, has left you these messages and disappeared... Tenma: Yes... we must seek him out and find him with all haste! Gillen: Because you would like to prove yourself innocent with all haste... - Page 17 - [At a famous medical school nearly 20 years ago, there was a man who would not rest until he was at the top...] [But a Japanese student came into the school, and the man's position made an about-face...] [He was sociable and talkative... he soon became quite popular.] [And on top of that, he had excellent marks... the man who had previously been at the top was easily overthrown after the midfinals...] [When the finals came about...] [The man had tried his hardest to regain his top position...] [He had done perfectly in his classes until then. But...] [The last test was this man's weakness, the stern Professor Hesse's "Intro to Legal Medicine"...] [If he failed this, all his effort would have been wasted...] - Page 18 - [He was in danger... so he played his last card.] [He had got it in the bag. He would be victorious!! The top seat was his!!] [However...] [The Japanese exchange student saw that.] [He saw the man cheat...] [But he never told anyone.] [And so the man took the lead once again!] - Page 19 - Tenma: Is profiling what you call it...? Gillen: Huh...? Tenma: I thought there might be some kind of clue in these messages! And your specialty is... Gillen: Ah... no, profiling is something else. That's a method the police use to find... PATTERNS in a series of crimes, that allow them to make conjectures about the criminal. I am a criminal psychologist... I try to elucidate why criminals commit magnanimous crimes by exploring the deepest reaches of their minds... Tenma: I... I understand. So can you find out anything from those two messages? Gillen: Are you referring to multiple personalities? The technical term is "dissociative personality disorder"... It's still rather new, only been researched for about 15 years... You want to say... that one personality is doing the murders, and the other is trying to stop it, right? - Page 20 - Gillen: There are certainly examples of serial killers leaving messages like this at crime scenes. "Jack the Ripper", decades ago, and more recently, "Son of Sam", left painful messages behind like, "Help!" and "Capture me!!" The murders were committed out of unsuppressable urges, and guilt forced them to write these things. But time has also shown that this can be used to escape punishment... Seeing through this is a specialty of we psychologists! Most people are under the impression that serial murders are committed by severe introverts, but that is quite incorrect. Some of them are extremely intelligent, sociable, and well-spoken. - Page 21 - Gillen: And immense liars. Tenma: Then, he... He's just been... PLAYING with me...? Gillen: Now, wait. You don't want to rush into a conclusion! (click) My research is to plunge into the depths of their minds so that I am not deceived by those lies... Would you tell me more about this... Johan? - Page 22 - Gillen: I was divorced three years ago. No... really, it was more like my wife just left me. [Welheim Penitentiary] <
