He was fourteen years old when he met the man who would teach him how to sell his friends. Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. grew up in the Houston Heights — his father beat him, once fired a pistol at him, and left. His mother did what she could. When a schoolmate introduced him to Dean Corll, Henley later said:"I admired Dean because he had a steady job. He wasn't a wild drunk, got along with kids and people in general." His mother told police that Corll was "like a father to Wayne." Over the next two and a half years, Henley lured his own friends — kids he went to school with, kids he helped search for when they went missing — to Corll's apartment. A minimum of twenty-eight teenage boys were abducted, tortured, raped, and killed. Henley personally killed six of them. When asked if he feels remorse, he laughed: "I feel remorse because I'm supposed to. That's something I've tried to build in me. I don't really feel about it."

He still paints flowers in prison. He still wishes Dean could see what a good job he did.

The Season 2 finale closes with Henley's full profile, a retrospective of all forty-seven killers across twenty episodes, and the three-part survival guide: how to recognize the dark Taurus before the fence is built, how to navigate if you're already inside it, and the Scorpio medicine — the opposite sign's capacity for transformation as the corrective the dark Taurus cannot access.
