I want to take it over there myself

You've been shopping, Stan?

"Mr. Aubrey, Let's talk"

"Alex"

Stan, I wanted to pick your

brain about the case.

What is this?

Paperweight?

I still need to sit down

over the pathology report.

No, no, no, I mean

the Uncle Eddie case.

Given the copycat angle...

I though it was good idea

to look at your file.

- You looked at my file?

- Yeah.

You don't mind, do you?

Hey Stan, why not you flip

through the unsolved case files?

Look to see if those guys

missed anything.

I know it is tedious right, but,

Who knows what you might see?

- What is today?

- Tuesday.

- No, the date.

- The Tenth. Why?

Ok, this is what I've got.

Louis comf... 1745.

- Nice.

- Yes.

Sixteenth century Ming

Rarity, Joseph Ubonn.

And an American Victorian

- I do not know this is your style but...

- What is that?

Oh that a girl

to go with your chair.

See I stumble upon

this invaluable collection...

of Civil War porn.

I am not interested in pornography,

I need something functional,

something I can touch.

Okay, I was ready

to diversify.

But you hold on to those.

Tell me which one you want to pursue.

Oye, oye, not her.

She's mine.

Russ, another round.

Coming up.

Here is a painting

I wanted to see.

Sorry, Stan,

but this is joke.

- And doesn't go with your chair.

- No, you don't understand.

It is a picture of

of the crime scene...

I am working on.

It was in the window of the

antique store near my place.

I think the killer painted it.

Wow.

That would be quite a coincidence

I mean if you're right.

Come on, I mean anybody

could have done this.

It has been in the news

for the last couple of days...

if you haven't noticed.

"Copycat Killer on The Loose"

All these years, Stan...

I do not know how you can stand it.

You know, just sticking it out

till I can collect my pension.

Detective

THE New York Police

- Hey, not too shaby.

- Yes.

The department really spared no

expense for your promotion.

- It's beautiful, fellas.

- Yes.

You know my brother

got a f... watch

- Beer?

- No, thanks.

- Two shots already yeah?

- Yes.

- Cheers, Cheers.

- Cheers.

Great success.

Carl, you know you'll f... it for

commissioner one day.

Miss?

Miss, Could I get

some milk?

Sure are a lot of cops here,

aren't there, Mr. Aubrey?

- How do you know my name?

- Alex Fredericks.

Probably read

some of my pieces...

on Uncle Eddie investigation.

When other reporters were taking

you down, I defended you

Turns out you and I were right.

We were?

Talk to me about the new case

Is it a copycat killer?

You think he'll kill again?

Who do we call him?

Oh, will think of something snappy.

What do you want?

Why don't you walk away after

the Uncle Eddie murders?

It is sad

what happened to that girl.

- Excuse me.

- No, wait, wait, don't.

Detective Aubrey, it's Martin.

I got the results

back from the Lab.

You were right,

that's a popular pigment.

The samples taken

hanging man painting...

match the ones from the

old Uncle Eddie file.

I'll leave the report

on your desk.

"Uncle Eddie stumps

NYPD"

"Serial Killing Spree"

"Another murder of series"

"Prostitute Stabbed by Docks"

Responding officers,

unit 483...

now approaching

crime scene...

to northeast side

College Point Harbour.

OK, Stan?

No?

You see this is the thing,

You and I have been working...

in the same office... about what

five years now?

I don't even know if you're married.

I don't even know

where you f***ing live.

Look, if you want to slip out

all mysteriously from my party,

well, I don't give a sh*t

But you and I are gonna have to

work together at some point.

Both got the same shield

Now, Stan, you understand me?

Christ...

You're OK, Stan?

The human jigsaw.

We need an anthropologist

to piece this guy back together.

Tissue works come back

It's all pieces of the same guy.

A Jeff Sarno.

Except the intestines.

They belong to Mr. Calderon.

We checked for evidence

of sexual assault, none.

Hey, Stan,

Nice you can make it.

- What did I miss?

- Meet Jeff Sarno.

What else you got?

This might interest to

only to students of anatomy...

and human behavior.

Victim had

extensive cosmetic surgery.

Apparently wasn't happy

with the top half of his mouth...

so they split his his upper palate...

and lengthened it to

match the lower jaw.

Pretty ironic, huh?

All that work and end up

chopped up like this.

Why would he go through

all that trouble?

Jeff Sarno was an actor.

Not a successful one.

Didn't you read the case file?

He had an audition.

According to his agent, the

director calls that the kid...

had the right look for the part

We got an address or a phone

number for the appointment?

No. We checked

and came up with nothing

And the agent?

He just got a call saying that they

were... going in a different direction.

Whatever that means.

When Sarno didn't call back

The agent figured the kid

buried his head in the sand

"We need a good Scout"

SANDY:

Session 2, November 17.

Detective Aubrey, let's pick up

where we left off last time.

We were talking about the moment

you found the girl.

They were pulling here out of the River

when I got there

She was wearing a fur coat

that had become big...

and heavy with the water.

- Was she able to speak?

- No.

She had multiple stab wounds

to the abdomen.

There was more water than blood

in her at that point.

I tried to use my hands

to stop the bleeding,

but she took

a big gasp of air...

and looked right through me.

And then she stopped breathing.

He said you had met the victim before.

Did you ever intend to warn her

that she was in danger that night?

It is one in the morning.

I'm sorry, I know it's late, but did

you hear any noises upstairs earlier?

Not only you just now.

Someone broke into my apartment

No, didn't hear anything.

What you think?

White male, age 43, lives alone.

One case of corrupting a minor...

brought by the DA's office

five years ago,

then later dismissed.

Drives a Lincoln, similar to the one

identified by witnesses...

at three of the last

five murder scenes.

And we got prints

and blood type...

based on saliva match

I think this is our guy.

I can have a warrant ready

in three hours.

Hey Stan!

Aubrey and Luiz, you take the back,

I'll go on the front.

Now wait on my signal.

Position.

Gun! Gun, gun!

Stop, don't shoot!

We got the bastard

It looked like a gun

Did the right thing.

I was going to meet you upstairs

I can't, I just got time

for my cigarette break.

- We can go get a coffee.

- No, this is good.

I really need a cigarette.

Mind if I smoke in here?

No, hop in.

How you doing, man?

- Thanks for returning my call.

- Not a problem.

We are buddies

I heard that you are working

on a new case.

Yeah, they expect to be on something

so soon after that last one.

Last one?

Talking about five years ago.

- You got promoted didn't you?

- Yeah.

They got me up there
