Little Monsters

Episode 5.27 (197)
August 19, 1998
Written by Bill Garner
Directed by Chris Langman

Mt. Thomas is in the grip of fear as a serial killer stalks the area. But as police from around the state work to bring the man down in an organised sting, Adam notices a bystander behaving strangely and, acting on his instincts, is able to take the armed man into custody. In one swift move Adam ends the manhunt and makes himself a hero.

As the Heelers review the event, the discussion turns to the new technique of "profiling". Maggie has recently learnt about it in a seminar and Adam is fascinated with its capabilities. But Nick maintains that it was old-fashioned policing that had captured the killer the day before, and it'll be the same thing that catches another killer tomorrow. Adam's interest in the issue stays keen as he helps to investigate a quick succession of fires at the local primary school. According to the rules of profiling, an adult psychopath usually displays three behaviours as a child — arson, bed-wetting, and animal mutilation.

When Dash and Maggie are called to the home of a local teacher whose cat has been gruesomely mutilated, there seems little doubt that they have a budding serial killer in their midst. Four suspects come to light and Dash is appalled to find that one of them is her own niece, Fiona. Meanwhile, Adam's enthusiasm for profiling leads him to the wrong conclusion and he finds himself, and one of the innocent kids, trapped in an empty classroom. As the real offender sets the classroom ablaze, it's a race against time to locate Adam and the boy and save their lives.
