Leaving us with The Phantom.
Can you please not call him that?
It just... it sounds silly.
Sillier than the "arsonist"? Which starts with "***"?
At least with "The Phantom" he's got some mystique.
He doesn't deserve mystique. He's a murderer.
Yeah, but killing is not a part of his usual M.O.
Until now, all the buildings he torched were empty.
Okay. All right, so what else do they have in common?
Not much. All the buildings were older,
but some were residential, some were office buildings.
There were two in Manhattan and the rest in Brooklyn
and in Queens.
Were they insured?
A couple of them, but not all of them.
So it probably was not arson-for-hire.
Which means he's doing this for himself.
He's burning these buildings to satisfy an inner need.
And like a serial killer, there's a reason
why he chooses the buildings he does.
There's a pattern or something.
