The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOn the poster, the one letter that absolutely does not match is K. A new Zodiac letter names Toschi, and Internal Affairs walks in. Toschi answers with twenty-five years a cop and twelve in homicide; Graysmith starts marking missing-person dates against equinoxes and solstices.
