Plot: Robert Keppel (Russell Crowe) a criminology professor, is approached by Detective Dave Reichert to help profile a serial killer preying on prostitutes in the Seattle area. Keppel agrees over the objections of his wife Sande (Carla Gugino), who is tired of him spending more time with crime scene investigations than with her. Keppel receives a letter from serial killer Ted Bundy (Robert Downey Jr.), whom Keppel had helped send to death row, offering to "consult" on the case. Keppel conducts a series of interviews with Bundy under the guise of wanting his expertise; in reality, he is hoping that Bundy will reveal details of his own murders before he is executed. Bundy is little help in profiling the killer, whom he dubs "The Riverman", but he does shed light his own pathology, particularly his need to "possess" his victims, even to the point of necrophilia. Finally, Bundy confesses to several unsolved murders, including the murder of Georgeann Hawkins (Amanda Michalka) in the vain hope that Keppel will delay his execution. Meanwhile, Keppel and Reichert question a suspect, Gary Ridgway (Alessandro Nivola), and take a DNA sample. Years later, the DNA is used to convict Ridgway of the murders.
