Sloppy f***in' police work.

Come on! Let's go!

He's a good tenant.

He pays the rent. He keeps...

Just play that, will you?

What happened...

What happened to the picture?

What... Hold on.

What time was that?

F***. Just fast-forward again,

will ya?

Okay. All right.

What time was that?

What time of death

do you have on Silva?

Estimated time of death

between 5:
00 and 6:00.

And we got an address

on that tattoo parlor.

- It's on the corner of Main and 10th.

- All right.

Hi there. Can I help you?

Yeah. I'm looking for something.

Suspension?

- Yeah, we do that.

- Really?

Hey, Banksy!

- What's up?

- You know who made this?

Yeah. I did.

- And when was that?

- Month, month and a half ago.

So he called you?

You never saw him?

Called me. Told me what he wanted.

Faxed me the schematics from a Kinko's.

Did it seem strange to you?

Come on, man.

We got doctors, lawyers, businessmen

come in here gettin' stuff done.

Scarification, dermal implants,

cock stretching, whatever.

Doesn't mean they want you

to know about it.

- How many did you make?

- What?

How many of the suspension rigs

did you make?

Bro, it's f***in' midnight, and

I'm still at work helpin' you out...

when I wanna be at home

catchin' a jack to Belladonna.

So maybe you oughta cut me some slack

if you want my cooperation, capisce?

- Yeah, maybe I should.

- Yeah.

Or maybe I should just

take you outside...

and search you and your car

for controlled substances.

How about that?

Four. I made four rigs.

Thank you.

Stingray, wake up.

I need you to listen to me.

He made four rigs,

and we got two victims.

Sh*t. So there's two more.

What'd you find out

about the girl in the closet?

Well, her name's WhitneyJacobs.

She's pretty dehydrated.

She's still in and out of consciousness.

They drugged her up pretty bad.

What I found most interesting

about her while checking her out...

was her recent divorced

ex-husband... Garrison Jacobs.

They share custody of two kids, currently

spending the weekend with the grandparents.

Two kids? Let me guess.

Garrison's got a kid

in the second grade, right?

Yep. Garrison Jacobs

must have figured out...

his wife was having one too many

parent-teacher conferences.

- And Garrison Jacobs is currently...

- Unaccounted for.

Let's find him.

- "Come and see".

- Hey.

You shouldn't be looking at those.

Come and see what?

Well, I don't know.

Come and see.

Come and see.

Sean, get away from my stuff.

Revelations 6.

You have got to be kidding.

It was ceremonial.

The serving tray, the teeth.

They're announcing themselves.

They want us to know that they're here.

Who?

Revelations 6.

"And I saw, and behold,

a white horse.

And he that sat on him had a bow:

and a crown was given unto him...

and he went forth conquering.

And when he had opened the second seal,

I heard the second beast say...

Come and see.

And there went out

another horse that was red.

Power was given to him

to take peace from the Earth...

and there was given unto him

a giant sword".

- Remember this?

- Sh*t.

"And when he had opened the third seal,

I heard the third beast say, Come and see.

And I beheld a black horse,

and he that sat on it...

had a pair of balances in his hand".

They're labeling them.

The fourth is the pale horse.

"And his name that sat on him was Death,

and hell followed with him".

It's the Four Horsemen

of the Apocalypse.

The book of Revelation

is a vision of the apostle John.

A vision of the end of times

as revealed to him byJesus.

The Horsemen are the first four...

of seven prophetic elements

of the Apocalypse.

Okay.

There's Death,

who rides the pale horse.

Which, in fact, is green.

Pestilence rides the black horse.

- And the red horse is-

- War.

Yeah. What is the difference

between Death and War?

Think of War as more of a concept.

Not as man killing man,

but as strife.

Death is a physicality.

War is a state of mind.

And the rider of the white horse...

The rider of the white horse

is the leader.

Some believe that

he is the Antichrist.

Others thinks he

is Jesus Christ himself.

Aidan, these people...

chose the Horsemen

as their model for a reason.

If they truly understand

the symbolism of the Horsemen...

and it sounds like they do...

you should expect things

to get much worse.

We're looking for

a four-person team.

Their intent is to produce

Suspect one is the smallest.

Between 100-115 pounds.

The other three kept clear...

while this one

tortured Mary Anne Spitz.

The suspect spent quite a bit of time

around her head.

They must have had

quite a conversation.

The second suspect is Garrison Jacobs.

His whereabouts

are unknown at this time.

Suspect three delivered

the killing blow in both cases.

I think that he's the pale horse.

- Death.

- Why?

Because the fourth suspect

is the only one...

in both locations who never moved.

Not an inch.

The fourth suspect is the one that we

should be the most worried about.

He's the ringleader.

We find him, and this thing ends.

We got another dead body

at the Bell Hotel.

What do you got for me?

Hello, Garrison.

Remember when I told you

about Spitz's puncture wound...

and the chances of it

being intentional?

- Yeah. You said it was impossible.

- I take it back.

Yeah. It's the same.

Almost to the millimeter.

That means we're looking

for someone with medical training.

No, we're looking for a medical savant.

It is all the same.

Except no rig.

Checked in Monday with a single suitcase.

Told registration he's staying indefinitely.

Nobody lives in a hotel unless they're

homeless or they're hiding from somebody.

He knew that they were

coming for him next.

And the only person who knew

how he knew that is in a vinyl bag.

Excuse me.

The only person with a motive's in a vinyl bag.

Every lead we had is in a vinyl bag!

- What?

- Sean told me that he helped you today.

He was really excited.

Yeah. Right.

Maybe next time you shouldn't be showing

a seven-year-old photographs of a murder.

Alex, I did not show them to him.

- He found them. I took them away from him.

- Whatever.

Hey, Alex.

Look.

Thanks for taking such good care of Sean.

You've been really great with him.

You have parent-teacher

conferences tonight.

- I reminded you last week.

- What time?

Like, five minutes ago.

Sh*t. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

Sh*t!

Alex has so much potential...

which is why it's so frustrating.

- He's not doing well?

- Well, he does great when he's here.

That's just not very often.

Alex is what we call a maximum result,

minimum effort student.

He doesn't have to try very hard

to do well.

So he doesn't.

Well, that's...

kind of my fault.

I don't really get to spend as much time

with him as I would like.

His group therapist used to say-

On the other hand, if I can be frank-

I think it's a good sign

that Alex is trying at all.

Well, it's not often the case

with children who have lost a parent.
