If you don't get five of these right, in More, you'll have to hold the hand of a serial killer. We have one here today, guys. That is amazing. Let's get right into it. In March 1919, the Axeman of New Orleans wrote a letter to the local newspapers promising that he would go on a killing spree the following Tuesday, but that any house that had any jazz music playing in it would go. not harmful.

Is this serial killer reality or fiction? He sends a notice, but says: I won't hurt the houses there if they're playing some jazz music (both). Now, first of all, let me understand... let me say that I understand the logic here. Yes it's true. This sounds very good. ♪(sings a jazz melody)♪ True. He hit me like a chorus. And what is your logic? I'm just hearing the music in the air, man. - He said the truth. - You said you understood the logic. - Okay you're right. - (screams) Ha! See? (ding sound) It was actually reported to be one of the loudest nights in New Orleans, and Axeman kept his word.

That night he didn't kill anyone. It was kind of like a serial killer's Easter. Why did everyone play jazz music? Yes Yes. Good start, Rhett. Harold Shipman was a British doctor who sacrificed more than fifteen of his patients and then forged their wills. He got away with it for twenty-three years, and here's the real kicker: he was a gynecologist. - You don't have to-- - Serial killer gynecologist. I don't want to think about this too much. (Crew laughs) I just want to guess it's fake. Just without even really thinking about it. Simply false. (ding sound) - You're right, he wasn't a Gynecologist. - (laughs) What was he?

I tried to catch you. He was a GP but was caught out when a colleague noticed he was submitting a large number of cremation applications. Yelp reviews that go (dumb voice) down the tubes. Yes, it is not necessary for the GP to do the cremation. Cremating so many people, man. No. Yes, that's rude. - Very good, you now have two. - Yes, well, I'm smart. Well, it's actually scary when your intuition aligns with that of a serial killer. - Yes, well, do it as you want. - Maybe you don't want to do them right. In the late 1970s, many Wichita, - Kansas citizens... - Wichita?

Wichita, like where the lineman was from. He ordered home security systems to protect himself from the infamous BTK...-BTK killer. BTK Killer. What they didn't realize was that the BTK killer was doing the installation. Oh! - That's a conflict of interest. - I was installing the security systems. BTK. Bacon, tomatoes and ketchup? What are we talking about here? That is what it is? Is it a sandwich? I won't give you any more information because then... He eats a sandwich while he kills. A bacon, tomato and ketchup. Tomatoes and ketchup are a bit redundant. I must tell you that you don't need them both right now.

I agree. BTK it's true. (ding sound) - It's true! - (laughs) You're scaring me because you know so much about these guys. I know how these guys think, man. - BTK actually... - I have relatives. - Do you want to know what it means? - That? Ata, torture, please install your ADT home security system. - (laughs) Oh!

John Wayne Gacy was a Republican. FAKE! (ring sound) - No, it's true. Image here, look. - (laughs) (Link) A fucking serial killer shaking hands with the First Lady - (Rhett) Oh man! - (Link) from the United States of America. - I can't understand them well. - And you know what... you shouldn't. Let's go Pogo here. (Link) It's John Wayne Gacy himself, this is exactly what he... What he is. That's him. That's not Chase, that's him. Wait, do I have to shake his hand? You have to hold his hand for More. If I don't get five? - And if I do not do it. - OK well.

It seems pretty good to me. I'm a little scared right now. There's a lot of clown hysteria going around these days. - Yes. - We shouldn't increase it, but we are doing it. (the team laughs) - Rodney Alcalá, - Ah! Hmm. It is estimated that he killed more than---(both) Fifty people. -(crew laughs) But the other thing that killed him was his appearance on the 1970s game show The Dating Game, because he actually won! Did a serial killer named Rodney Alcala win The Dating Game? I feel like I know something... I saw something about this, that there was a serial killer on The Dating Game, but you're telling me he was there and didn't win?

Is this a small change? He killed more than fifty people. That is a fact. TRUE. (ding sound) - You're right. - (screams) Yes! It's crazy to think about this. Here is the video. Let's see a fragment.

Good for you, Sheryl. - Do you have them all right? I hope not. - No, I have four. The most prolific serial killer in American history, the Green River Killer, over a hundred... a hundred. He was lucky to find love in prison. She married her pen pal in a ceremony that lasted nine minutes. - Nine minute ceremony, huh? - Hmm. That's an interesting fact. She got married after killing a hundred people. - The Green River Killer? - Hmm. I think that's made up, man. Because? He is in prison. I feel like I would know, because I'm in tune with these things, I'm saying (whispers) false. (ding sound) - (unintelligible noise) It's fake. - (laughs) - Yes!

Yeah! - If you got married in prison, - you have to do it quickly. - Yes of course. - I thought you'd fall for that. - Nine minutes exactly. You know, Manson had a pen pal that she married in prison. Happens. -Yes, but he's a good guy. -No, he is not. - Do not you believe it? - For the record. I'm talking about Charles Manson. But now, though, he's like a good guy. -Are you his pen pal? -(the team and Rhett laugh) But he's fine now, right? The Green River killer is still in prison and still very single.

But if the ceremony had taken place, the song that would have been played is Islands in the Stream, with the lyrics changed a little. It would have been, ♪ Bodies in the creek, ♪ ♪ That's where they are. ♪ ♪ Because I left them there, ♪ ♪ You don't have to look far. ♪ In fact, he would have been the wedding singer.

But by day they were taxidermists. After being caught, their work was sold at auction where the highest bidder was Jack Nicholson. So many details here. So many details. -I don't know, I think...-Did Jack Nicholson buy the taxidermy from him after they got caught? I don't think... I think your brain would have failed to generate those details, so I'll say it must all be true. (ring sound) - Better late than never, that's false. - (screams) Ah! So I tricked you. I have one more for you. You may know Ted Bundy as the heartless killer of more than thirty victims, but he also saved a child from drowning. - True or false? -Because he is a good guy. -He's a good guy. -He's a good guy.
