( Police radio chatter )

HIRO: A local found her.
Called me directly.

KANE: Take the mask off.

You know what it means?

Yeah.
(Speaks Mandarin)

What's that?

Somebody's trying to play

like there's some kind
of Chinese black magic.

So, you see?

Probably someone
from around here, huh?

Another blonde. You see?

Strangled like the others.

Third one with this M.O.

Press is gonna have
a field day with this one.

( Main title music )

Ameline Thompson.

- From around here?
- Born and raised.

And dumped right in the center
of our jurisdiction.

Yeah, just 'cause it
happened in our area

doesn't mean it was
someone from Harmony.

All right,
this is what we know.

According to
the victim's friends,

she took a weekly
trip to the city.

Working on some kind of job?

She only stayed one,
maybe two days at a time.

Only job that fits that
description for a pretty girl,

dancing.

Okay, there's gotta be
some information on her
in some database.

Yeah, look. I'm running it,

but there's nothing significant.

This one's been off
the grid most of her life.

Okay, I'm getting a name match
on an internet search here.

Turned out she filed an
insurance claim about a year ago

under the name Salvatore Forte,
1820 Bell street.

Okay, I'll follow up on that.

Might factor into some motive.
All right?

RADNER:
Nah, I'll come with you.

All right,
give me something, Ameline.

Let's here it
for the lovely Savanah!

Hey, Savanah.

Hi, Charlie.
You're looking good, baby.

You're looking good tonight.

ANNOUNCER: I think
I've died and gone to heaven!

Coming up next our
very own Ginger!

Hey. How is it out there?

Oh, it's like pulling teeth.

My God, I feel wasted.

I think I'm gonna go home.

Oh, my God.
Are you kidding?

I know, right?

How am I suppsed to pay
my rent with that?

Guy probably thought
it was romantic.

So I'll split. Looks like
I'm walking home again.

Need a ride, baby?

Hey, Savanah.

Hey. What're you doing here?

( Gasps )

KANE: Told you about this guy.
He's a dear old friend of mine.

So what is it with
you and this guy?

He sells herbs.
How's he gonna help us?

Because he also knows
everybody around here.

And if you were able to read
any of the toxicology reports,

there's some funny
stuff going on

that may have to do with herbs.

Not only is he a herbologist,

but he just really has
a lot of resources.

He hears everything.

Great guy to know and like
I said, he knows everybody.

The guy sells powdered
rabbit testicles.

I doubt murderers are taking
time to stock up on those.

( Speaks Mandarin )

Okay.

( Speaks Mandarin )

He worries about you.

SARAH: What's this?

It's called a foo.
It's kind of a protector.

I actually wear them
all the time.

Not that I can say that you
should believe in this stuff,

but put that somewhere and
pretend that you don't have it.

So why didn't he
give you one?

I'm beyond help.

I know how to fight.

Yeah, you just don't
know when to fight.

What's that mean?

We're the police, man.
We're not supposed to fight--

What kind of a jackass
would block us in like this?

We're supposed
to break up the fights.

Sorry, guys.

We're just on the job here
and we're just leaving.

We'll get out of your way.

I can handle this, boss.

You get out of my face.

You just assaulted a cop.

KANE: Now I guess
it's time to fight.

( Yells )

( Groans )

See? Charm's working
already, ain't it?

( Phone rings )

Yeah?

HIRO: Hope you're not busy.

( Police radio chatter )

This is getting crazy, Kane.

Girls are starting to
pileup around here, man.

Did you find her?
So--

Man, we gotta find this guy.

Press are causing us trouble.

Talk to everybody
again, man. You got it?

Yeah.

KANE: She looks
a lot like Sarah.

She really does, man.

I've seen her coming and going,
but we ain't never talked.

People in town are starting
to get scared, Kane-son.

They're starting
to talk crazy about--

about black magic
in the old country.

I mean that's what people want
you to think, man.

That's what they're
trying to do.

They're trying to spook us out
like any of this is real, man.

Trying to create a panic.
Take that body down.

Wow, she does look like you.

What's that?
Where'd we find this?

In her mouth.
Weird, huh?

Not around here.
For some Asian cultures,

the white carnation
is a symbol of death.

We don't know what's
trash and what's not,

so pay close
attention to that.

Hey, Detective.
You got a minute?

Are you serious?

Do I have a minute during
a murder investigation

to talk to a reporter?
No, are you crazy?

No, I'm not crazy.

Just give me a break, huh?
Give me a sound bite for my
story, huh?

Yeah, so you can take it out
of context? No. Take a hike.

Hey, girl cop!

Is it true we're dealing with
a serial killer here, huh?

Listen, man. Come here. Listen.

There's a crime scene here.

We're dealing with a killer

and it's nothing
more than that, okay?

Right now that's all we know

and we'll find the person who
did this. I promise you.

You promise?

We'll take care of it.
We got it.

Okay, good stuff.

Hey, buddy, look.

My friend,
I asked you to stay here.

That's the last time
I'm gonna tell you.

That's a crime scene.
Please don't contaminate it.

I'm a reporter.

I have every right
to be here too.

Let me explain
something to you.

Anybody who goes
across that line,

we always put them
on a little special list.

You know, you don't want
to be on that list.

See? So stay behind the tape.

That's the last time
I'm gonna tell you

or I'm gonna have to list you
in the crime scene report.

Do you know who that was?

Yeah. Kind of a slimy,
lizard type of a guy.

No, that was Miles Toole.
Local crime reporter.

He's a bit of a
celebrity around here.

His mom wrote some really
good vampire books.

Well, just because his momma
writes vampire books

doesn't mean that he should
be a celebrity, does it?

Fair enough.

You like that kind
of stuff, huh?

Really good.

If that's the case,
the apple fell

a little bit far from the tree,
wouldn't you say?

That boy's an idiot.

His mom will never know
'cause she's dead.

She's dead?

So what's this all about?
Am I in trouble or something?

You Salvatore?

Yeah. Uh, this
stuff isn't mine.

Okay.

You filed a missing person
report on Emilie Nealy, right?

Yeah. Filed a lot of them.
What about it?

I never had the cops drag me
in for one of those before.

Before? How many missing person
reports did you file exactly?

I don't know. Emilie isn't the
best girlfriend I ever had.

She runs off a lot.
But now I got her trained.

Let me ask you about
the house you're living in.

Is it in Emilie's
name or in yours?

That's complicated.

You see it's, um,
it's my place,

but technically she is
on the title with me.

But that's just for
insurance purposes.

Insurance purposes?

Mmm-hmm.

So you get money if something
happens to her, right?

Bingo. Is that-- is
that what this is about?

Huh? She dead or something?

Most people we talked to
in town know her as Savanah.

That was just her
dancer name, right?

Yeah.

She have any family
living close by?

No. Why? Is she dead?

Yeah, she is.

Wow. I knew it.

I damn well knew it.

Thank God I got
the insurance, huh?

Well, I guess there's no need to
get you a grief counselor, huh?

You seem-- you seem okay.

I tried to protect her.

And I warned her not
to trust other people.

I told her, you make friends
with people in the city,

it's gonna ruin your life.

Yeah. You seem like
the protector type.

What dance clubs was
she working in?

I don't know.
Bunch of different ones.

Looks like we got some club
hopping in our future.

I'm gonna hang on to this.

You have fun now.

Here. Cororner's address
is on the front.

You'll have to head down
to the morgue

and make burial arrangements.

Does the city pay for that?

I mean, she died
in the city, right?

SARAH: Hey, Tanaka.
What do you got?

I just started on this one,

so I don't have much
to tell you.

That's all right.
Anything you got can help.

She was strangled, no foreign
skin beneath her nails,

no definitive trace
of foreign DNA,

and I'm running a toxicology
report on her blood as we speak.

Okay, can you do me a favor
and get that to me as soon
as it comes in?

Wow. You know,
you two could be--

Yeah, I don't wanna hear
how much I look like her.

You have to admit,
it's kind of weird.

Yeah. It's weird.

So are there any similarities

between her and
the first victim?

Obvious stuff. Both look alike
in stature and features.

Both had signs of hemorrhaging
in the lungs,

brain, behind the eyes.

You can just say strangulation.

Okay, strangulation.

But no signs of resistance.
How's that?

Was there anything
in the bodies

to indicate why they
wouldn't have resisted?

Yeah. Traces of GHB.

The date rape drug.

I'm betting we find
it in this one too.

So were they, uh--

Sexually assaulted?

Yeah.

Yes. Definitely.

But post mortem.

Thanks, Doc.

You two look like crap.

Yeah, believe me when I tell you
we earned these looks.

Doing it old school. Knocking on
doors and cracking heads.

Oh, yeah? I heard it was more
like cracking G-strings.

Must've been tough.

Oh, it's a tough job,
but we did what we had to do.

Hit every strip club in town.

This guy wouldn't give up. He's
like a 13 year old boy

when it comes to naked women.

I told him it was
my wife's anniversary

and he just kept
going and going.

Listen, tease will
get you sympathy

but sweats gonna
get you results.

Besides, it was your anniversary
too. She should understand that.

Oh, I envy the woman who
settles for you, Radner.

Settles?

Yeah. Hey, Chief.

How are my amazing cadre of
spectacular police officers?

ALL: Good, boss.

Everybody good.
What do we got?

We came up with a few
leads.

Two bit hustler working
the girls for life
insurance policies.

We got a name?

Yeah, he goes by
the name of Charlie.

Different last name
every day of the week.

Yeah, and the two girls we
connect are in the same club.

Let's get inside.

Well, I like the sound
of where this is going.

I'm probably gonna need
a little float money

just so I can fit in.

Radner, give it a rest, huh?

I'll do it.

- You sure about that?
- Yeah.

I look just like her.
Doesn't that make sense?

KANE: I don't know, man.

If she's sure,

let's just keep all eyes
on her at all times, y'hear?

I'll take the eye inside.

All right. You're still gonna
need somebody to sponsor you.

And I just wanna set
up a situation

where we don't get burned like
last time, know what I mean?

All right, well,
we'll get on that.

Mason and I know
just the club.

Why the hell should I put my
ass on the line for you guys?

What's in it for me?

You know these two girls?

A dozen girls a week

show up to my club
looking for work.

Most of them show up
for a single shift
and never come back.

Funny thing is we know
for a fact that these two girls

worked more than just a few
shifts in your club.

So what's this gotta
do with me?

Well, sweetheart--

I don't do nicknames.

Oh, I'm sorry, Angelina.

Thank you.

- We need your help.
- Okay, what for?

We wanna put a couple
girls in your club.

No. A couple of pigs
spinning around my poles? No.

You're on probation for
another two years, right?

No--

We can make it go away.

It'll kill whatever
business I have left.

Do you understand that?

You better wipe my slate
squeaky clean for this.

( Rock music, wolf whistles )

ANOUNCER: Let's give
it up for Peaches!

Looks like the crowd
loves her.

Are you clocking this?

I mean that's some
god-given talent.

I think I'm getting a whole
new respect for Sarah.

Are you always a jackass
or is it just when I'm around?

ANNOUNCER: Coming up next,
we have our own twin treat!

Tinsel and Quainai!

I'm out.

How do you know
how to do that?

I danced in college.
Paid for my school.

Is that for me?
Who's that from?

- Thank you!
- Thank you very much!

The first thing you learn if you
want to make any money,

is you accept every drink
they buy you,

and then spit it out
in a half empty beer bottle.

All right.

Angelina, listen,
I was hoping

you could give me
a little breakdown

on some of the customers
in here today.

Tell me a little bit
about some of these
funny customers you got.

Not much to tell.

If creeps could fly,
this place would be an airport.

I know what you're
talking about.

All right. Um, there.

A failed musician who misses
the group

because he's into drug binges.

We got a businessman over there
who hates his overbearing wife.

In the back is Gramps.
He's a lonely retiree.

Spent his 401K on a girl young
enough to be his grand daughter.

Wow.

Oh! A cross dresser. He aspires
to be a dancer onstage.

And then you have a group
of dirtbag bikers

who smell like they've just
crawled out of a sewer.

Oh, and that guy there
with the glasses?

Sorriest guy of them all.

Dean Chambers.
He's an ex-councilman.

Bellevue district.

Disappeared a couple years
back because of a sex
scandal with his intern.

Yeah, and his wife
left him anyway.

Yeah. Poor guy can't
even buy lap dances.

Too creepy even for my girls.

You know. Over there
is two-bit Charlie.

Should've kicked him
out a long time ago.

Because?

He is an elite hustler.
He runs all sorts of scams.

I mean he's ripped off half
the girls working the stage.

So what you're trying
to say is, like,

he may be somebody that I would
call a person of interest.

Oh, thank you.
Um, wait. Excuse me.

I don't think so.

I mean, all the money he hustles
he eventually spends on dances.

So the girls get it
all back in the end.

Man, the long and
the short is, uh,

it's a real menagerie in here.
It's like a crazy world.

ANGELINA: Yeah.

How 'bout a dance, baby?

Man, I couldn't say no to you.

Would you be mad
at me, like,

if I went with her for
just a couple seconds?

I would not-- not mind.
You go.

You didn't get my card.
Thank you.

Hey. You okay to drive?

Oh. Hey.

I know. I don't really
think I should be driving.

I take it Kane sent
you down here

because things are
getting worse, right?

Well they're not gonna get
better until we catch the guy.

Well these are some of the
things we use for protection

against demonic influences.

Right. Like this thing?

Oh, yes.
Like that thing. Right.

So what can you tell me
about the fox?

The fox?

The fox is a mischievous animal.
A symbol for some for revenge.

- Revenge?
- Mmm-hmm.

Who needs to take revenge
on these women?

Remember the kiler's under the
influence of the demon.

He may not be aware
of what he is doing.

You know we're gonna
catch this guy

before it gets
out of hand, right?

Well, whoever he is,
he knows enough to be dangerous.

You think it's someone
from around here?

Maybe, maybe not.

The things the killer
is doing demonstrates

a knowledge of the
Taoist black arts.

Whether or not
he believes it

or he's simply trying to confuse
the police remains to be seen.

So, all the items he
uses are symbolic, right?

Yes. Now here,

the white carnation he
leaves symbolizes death.

The red scarf ward
off evil spirits.

And the fox-- now the
fox is a shapeshifter.

Which means he'll
be difficult to find.

So it also protects.

Yes. Fooling to persuant.

Be very careful, Sarah.

Whoever you think is
responsible,

in most probability,
in all probability, will not be.

Oh, your boss.

You get any answers
for us yet?

(Speaks Mandarin) I've shown
her everything I know.

I appreciate that a lot.

(Speaks Mandarin)

Sarah, I want you to see if you
can get up on this guy,

Two-bit Charlie.

See if he's somebody we
should be looking at.

Shouldn't be hard. He's all over
me every time I'm on stage.

I'll fill you in on the ride
back to the city.

One dollar, Charlie? Wow.
That's really something.

It isn't gonna
break you, is it?

Well, you see I can tell
that you really dig me.

Yeah?

So what's it gonna be?
Your place or mine?

How about both? Yeah?

You go to your place
and I'll go to mine.

Smart girl. I like that.
Do you have insurance?

You planning on suing me?

Funny. You know what?

Why don't you put that
quick braininess to work

and turn towards making some
serious cash, you know.

Yeah? How?

There's all kinds of
government money out there

if you're smart
enough to get it.

Huh.

The truth is, I have a few
warrants out for my arrest.

So I can't really afford

to be on anyone's radar,
you know what I mean?

Yeah. I do.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

And that's where I come in.

See there's all kinds of forms
for that type of thing.

You know, power
of attorney and such.

You know, things like that.

I get paid in cash,
not business cards.

Oh, well-- oh that.

We'll just call
that my retainer.

You see, Peaches, I kind of fly
below the IRS radar myself.

- Do you?
- Yeah, just like you.

So is Flannagan
your real name?

Is Peaches yours?

This is more money than
I make in a week

and I'm not even on stage.

Now you know why so
many college girls do it.

Did you see this?

What? Hmm. Looks like
we finally got a nibble.

I'm wiped. I'm gonna go.

Radner and Mason
will pick up the guy.

See you tomorrow.

Well, well, well.
Look who came slithering back.

This is my favorite door monkey.
How's your face?

Yeah, don't try me,
Barney Fife.

The only reason I let you come
around here is 'cause I don't
want to lose another job.

Job or no job, shut your mouth
or I'll knock you out again.

MASON: Hey, easy.

No, no, no. Let him try
something. Come on.

Touch me, queer.
I dare you. Come on.

You're a joke.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Walk away, man. Walk away.

Pinky and Uncle Tom.

Wasn't gonna go down like last
time, boys. I got backup.

Me and my buddy,
Little Puddin'.

- Say another word.
- Queer.

What now?

This time, you're under arrest.

Nothing I couldn't pop.

Remember me?

It's Juliet. Just want to make
sure you got home safe. Call me.

It's Juliet again.
Where the hell are you?

Everyone's looking for you.
Call me.

Kane-son.

KANE: I wanted to wait
until everybody was here.

Hiro found her just like this,
tied up like the rest of them.

Is it Sarah?

It's my fault.

I should've made her
stay with me.

I don't know, man.

Man.

Hiro, next time you tell me
I got a team member dead,

make sure it's a
team member of mine.

Oh, my God. It's not her.

I thought for sure.

We still have a problem though.
There's something up with Sarah.

She's not answering her
cell phone, she's not
answering her home phone.

Keep trying to find her.
Go to her house if you have to.

Do what you gotta do. Knock,
dig, shake, do whatever, man.

- Find her.
- Okay.

You two guys are gonna have
to take care of this,

then I want you to pick up
Two-bit Charlie.

- All right.
- No problem.

It's not like my marriage
isn't tanked as it is.

Well I figure that
no man can hang around

that much stripper tail
without second guessing things.

That's not what I meant.

What do you need me to do?

Just keep looking and keep
your ear to the ground.

All right.

Come on, let's just brace
Charlie and get over this.

Oh, man. What's your deal?

Would you quit worrying about
your damn wife?

Let's just take care of
this and get out of here.

Easy, big guy.

It's just I've gotta meet
Cathy for lunch today.

Belated anniversary meal.

I can't wait till
you get married.

Yeah, well, you're not making
it look good. Police!

Clear!

Drop it!
Drop the shotgun now!

I got some papers here!

Get up! You're under arrest!

Dammit!

Stop!
Don't make me shoot you!

Freeze! Down on your knees!
Down!

Looks like you're gonna miss
that lunch date.

You know the interesting
thing about these policies?

I am sure that you're gonna
enlighten me, huh?

You're the beneficiary
on both of them.

So what?

I sell, I risk polcies.
It's standard practice.

I don't know about standard
practice,

but I definitely
know that's motive.

Motive?

Yeah.

Motive for what? What exactly
are you guys charging me with?

What're you stupid, Charlie?

Murder, Charlie.

What? That was an
accidental discharge.

I only had my gun out because I
thought you guys were burglars.

I wasn't trying to kill anybody.

I'm not talking about us,
Charlie.

I'm talking about
the girls you killed.

I didn't kill any girls!

I'm telling you right now.

There's no way that you guys can
pin any of those deaths on me.

You sure about that, Charlie?

I didn't kill any of those
girls. I promise you.

I swear to God. I've only--I
only sell insurance.

That's what I do. And I don't
even make a lot of money at it.

I found her.
Where the hell have you been?

What?

We've been out all
night looking for you.

Whoa! Who are you, my father?

We're all just
worried about you.

Juliet went to your house.
You weren't at home,

and you weren't answering your
cell phone. You all right?

Yeah. I'm sorry.

I felt like someone slipped
me a mickey last night

and I passed out
and my phone died.

She been identified?

Pretty good match, huh?

Yeah.

We all thought it was you.

Faith Coleman. Dancer.
Works at a club across town.

Okay.

We're only half
right about Charlie.

He's a con man,
he's not a murderer.

Sorry, Boss. They told
me I had you worried.

Yeah, we can talk
about that later.

For right now I'm pulling
you two off the case.

What?

Yeah. That's the end of that.

Everybody get their
butts out on the street.

Start looking. Go on.

Not you.
I wanna talk to you in private.

What were you thinking?

My cell phone died.

And I know I'm supposed
to stick by Juliet.

I really feel like your judgment
has been all messed up lately.

That's why I'm pulling
you off the case.

You can't take me off
the case right now.

He put a carnation in my bag.
That means he marked me.

And just because he didn't
go through with it tonight

does not mean he won't
try it another time.

Kane, I'm the best shot
at finding this guy.

You think?

Yes.

Trying to teach you something.
This is your last chance.

Thank you.

ANNOUNCER:
Look what we got next!

Double trouble!
Miley and Vanessa!

I feel like crap again.

You know I don't even
think it's a mickey.

I think it's just
this place that drains me.

Yeah.

(echoes)
Some Asian cultures, the white
carnation is a symbol of death.

(echoes)
The things the killer is doing

demonstrates a knowledge
of the Taoist black arts.

(echoes)
You think it's someone
from around here?

CHEN: Be very careful, Sarah.

(echoes)
Whoever you think is
responsible,

in most probability, in all
probability, will not be.

Radner, it's Juliet.
Sarah's been marked again.

I think she's in
trouble this time.

( Phone rings )

Kane.

JULIET: He's got her, Kane.
She's gone.

Listen to me. Nobody sleeps
until we find Sarah.

You hear me? Get your ass out
there and start looking.

Alleyways, junkyards.

Juliet, Radner,
find out if there's a witness.

We wanna pay a visit to our
primary suspect.

JULIET: Kane, a witness spotted
a silver Grand Am on the scene.

Our birds got it located
in the Aurora district.

Women like you are just
so much work, huh?

You just-- you take and you take
and you take.

And it's never enough.

You're just like
all the rest of them.

(echoes)
You didn't wanna fight.
It's not good when you fight.

You wanna listen.
Listen to what I have to say.

CHEN: These are some of the
things we use for protection

against demonic influence.

Oh, I guess you can't even say
much right now, can you?

Oh, that's too bad.
No? No fight left in you?

Now you're all nice
and quiet, huh?

Not so tough now,
are you? Hmm?

Just like all those
other girls.

I want this. I want that.

Oh, it was never enough, huh?

I just gave you everything.
I gave you everything.

Every single one of you.
I gave and I gave and I gave.

And what did I get?
I got nothing. Huh?

Well looks like I am gonna
take something from you.

JULIET: The stepfather on the
property is 1600 Vista Way.

The junkyard, Kane.

Copy that.

All right, Kane,
if you head over there,

I'm gonna go pick up Mason.

See if we can get anything
else from the girls at
the strip club.

They've been pretty
quiet so far.

Hope you find her, Kane.
She was on my watch.

Call if you need any backup.

KANE: Stay off the emergency
frequencies.

SALVATORE: I'm gonna support you
like I've done all my life.

I'm just gonna support you.
How's that?

Stop fighting me.
Come on.

See, is that good?
Isn't that better for you, huh?

Let me see your hands, man.
Let me see your hands.

She ruined my life. Drop the gun
or I'll kill the bitch.

- That's not Emilie, Sal.
- Do it!

Okay. Gun's gone.

She's an innocent woman, man.
She got nothing to do with you.

SARAH: (weakly) Behind you.

You sit now, Sarah.
Everything's gonna be all right.

I guess black magic is not for
everybody, is it, son?

( Sirens approaching )

( Police radio chatter )

We did? Um--

I'm a cop, you're a cop.

It doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good at all.

That should be enough
on its own.

Throw with our backs
plus the handcuffs.

No.

Got you a beer, boss.

You look like you need a drink.

Well, you just lost the best
five minutes of your life.

I know it, huh?

You got no game, son.
You need to stick to strippers.

- That's my girl.
- You got it.

I think after this last
caper we all need a drink.

In all my years, man, I ain't
never seen nothing so bizarre.

But here's to being a cop, man.

That's the kinda thing
that can happen, y'hear?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

(Whispers)
Can you bring him a drink?

Well, I know I have
a lot to learn.

We all do.

But it's good that you
looked at yourself like that.

From the girl you were just
bothering, Radner,

she had to go but wanted
to buy a drink.

Looks like the kid's
still got it, huh?

Ah, come on, man.

She said to give it to Kane.

Sure she did.
Trying to make me jealous.

- And it's working too.
- Little bit.

( Rock 'n' roll plays )

( Screams )
