In nineteen sixty-nine, a killer who called himself the Zodiac mailed the newspapers a cipher and promised it contained his name. A schoolteacher and his wife solved it in eight days. Fifty-one years later, a second cipher that had defeated the FBI, the Navy, and the National Security Agency was finally read by three amateur codebreakers in three countries. Neither message named anyone. This episode follows the Zodiac's four ciphers, the five people he killed and the two who survived, and asks what the most famous codes in criminal history actually proved.
