‘The Alienist’: Kriezler Lashes Out In This Exclusive Sneak Peek At Episode 5

The hunt for a vile serial killer continues on this week’s The Alienist. TNT’s thrilling murder mystery series takes us back to 19th century New York City. Teddy Roosevelt is just a police commissioner, the city has nary a skyscraper, and a dangerous murderer is targeting young, cross-dressing boys. The seedy murder spree might just wind up exposing some of the city’s most powerful figures to the light. The show is as gorgeous as it is creepy, and makes for an intoxicating watch.

In this exclusive sneak peek, Dr. Laszlo Kriezler (Daniel Bruhl) and his partners-in-solving-crime, John Moore (Luke Evans) and Sara Howard (Dakota Fanning) are debating the meaning of their latest clue. Sara, feeling more and more confident in her own powers of deduction puts forth a hypothesis that upsets Kriezler. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who’s the killer? Will the killer strike again? All we can say is that this week’s episode description hints that Moore and Sara will “share an intimate moment.”

Tune in to TNT tonight at 9 PM (ET/PT) for an all-new episode of The Alienist, “Hildebrant’s Starling.”
