The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe anonymous caller says Zodiac's friend Vaughn is storing film canisters, and the evidence is inside; the name is Rick Marshall. Zodiac's K changes stroke count midway, and nobody Sherwood cleared is the killer. A poster's handwriting is frighteningly close, so they have to go gently.
