Our final episode begins with Jeffrey Rignall speaking with his lawyer, before we hear about Gacy being transferred to a conference room. Fred tells Jeffrey that Gacy is threatening to counterclaim that Jeffrey drugged him and blackmailed him. We then jump to 1994, where we see some of the victim’s family, like Elizabeth, Harold, and Butkovich’s father getting ready to get on the corrections bus.

We then hear that this is the day Gacy will be executed. At the prison, there are protestors outside, those for the death penalty, and those against it. We then see John asking Jeffrey if he wants a ride. Jeffrey at first declines, but then gets in after some pushing from John. Jeffrey wakes up in John’s home, where the horrible torture would soon occur.

Jeffrey wakes up in a park, battered and confused. He is questioned by a cop about the event. The officer questions if he was a hustler or had a criminal record. Jeffrey follows John to his home, where John and his employees are having a party, and takes his mail to get his name and address.

Jeffrey brings this to a cop, who says Norwood Park is out of their jurisdiction, and does nothing. An officer tells the families to bring their stuff on the bus, and that the execution of Gacy was over. They essentially lied about letting them see Gacy executed. Jeffrey watches from home on the tv, where Bill is talking to reporters about Gacy and the death penalty, while Tovar listens to the news on the radio. We then get information about Gacy’s charges, his appeals, his execution date, and the time. We also learn about The Intergovernmental Missing Child Recovery Act, and how the Chicago PD computerized data of missing persons, so patterns can be found between districts.  

This was a great conclusion to this series. The last part where the families didn’t get to see the execution was awful, and the fact that the show didn’t let you see it either gives you a chance to be in their shoes, and experience what they did. Only one minor thing where the show transitioned to a week later, but it was in the past where Jeffrey was being a vigilante. You could figure it out because you could hear John speaking in the distance, but it might have made more sense to just put the date as well. Overall, the show was good, had a few issues with editing, but nothing that would inherently ruin the show. 

Rating 7.5/10
