The story so far
Everything you need before watchingCheney lines the industrial accident up with the murders: Allen's foot is crushed, then the killings begin. Drunk on Coors he talks about hunting people, a light on the gun, letters signed Zodiac, and shooting out a school-bus tire. Detectives meet him at the refinery and start doing the dates.
