Role in the plot[]
Kirsten case[]
In 1988, Alan Kirsten was shopping at the local supermarket in the kitchen accessories aisle when Anton Janos stabbed him three times to the heart, severing his arteries. Janos also carved a two-headed snake on each forearm, then sat beside Kirsten's corpse to wait to be apprehended by NYPD. He was committed into Bellevue Asylum for his apparently delirious talks about visions, possession, government conspiracies and the end of the world.
The lead detective appointed to the case, Robert Mitchell, was intrigued by what caused such a man, Janos, with no prior history of drugs or mental illness, to commit the murder. There, he accidentally came across other similar cases where the victim was killed by severing the heart's three arteries while the killer carved the same symbol of the snake and either ended up arrested, committed into a mental institution or died by suicide. Each case was locked up tight and Mitchell ended up being pulled from the case and instead offered the job as an instructor at NYPD academy, which he took.
Doc's Diner murder case[]
In January 2009, after the Doc's Diner murder case happened, detective Carla Valenti is sent a mysterious email by an unknown sender with no title and simply saying: "It's all happened before... Kirsten". Carla Valenti is driven to find out more about the Kirsten case and meets with Robert Mitchell which lead her to meet with Janos at Bellevue Asylum.
Janos is seen heavily secured in a chair in his cell room, wearing an orange outfit and having bad teeth, with some black stains on him. He claims to be innocent to Kirsten's murder and that he continually receives visions of the true killer's ongoing murders around New York City, and even accurately recounts the details of a recent murder-suicide at a laundromat in the outskirts.
Carla leaves him, with more questions than answers in her head.
