immediately.

What?

Lisa swan's parents

are freaking out, Jim.

Did we get a unit

over to the pool?

I went myself.

Turns out she was

the last one...

Turns out she was the last one there,

to do some extra swim practice,

which isn't unusual,

but then nothing.

Cctv?

Disabled.

Anything else?

Yeah, we found swans

in the pool.

- What?

- Little toy swans.

Good.

How's that good?

Could've been bodies, Sam.

Hey, what do you want me

to tell Lisa swan's parents?

Where did this come from?

Sam!

What?

Hey, does anybody else

know about this red box?

Jim, we should get

bomb squad on this.

It's not his style.

What the hell is that?

I told you I'd

keep the mall open.

Hey, this is on me.

So do you want me

to be naughty or nice?

I've always liked naughty girls.

What do you want for Christmas?

I want you.

Unwrapped.

And I wanna find these crazies

that are killing our taxpayers.

Well, it's your lucky day.

Why is that?

Because Santa claus

is coming to town!

This is not gonna be good

for the local economy.

Have fun, baby!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

What the f***?

Dispatch. I need a unit right

away over to vixens strip club.

Multiple 1-8-7s.

It isn't... it's not live.

F***.

What do we do now?

Call the coroner.

Tell him to bring

a lot of body bags.

Jen, I don't know.

We've been at it for hours

and we still haven't

found anything.

- There's plenty of murders just...

- nothing this gruesome.

Sh*t.

I don't know.

Have you tried searching

your parents?

My parents?

Yeah, I mean,

they're whiter than white,

but we all know our parents

are just as f***ed up as we are.

Hey, it's worth a shot.

Is that your mom?

Yeah.

Who's that guy?

A state of emergency has now been

declared in northeast New York

as a record nine feet of snow has

effectively buried some towns and roads.

St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties

are still the most badly affected.

With many towns in Lewis now

completely inaccessible, even by air.

This, of course, means that residents

in the community of woodridge

are effectively on their own

trapped in extreme weather in this

town with the Christmas killer

still at large after

slaughtering five FBI agents.

With the weather not likely

to improve for several days,

it's difficult not to feel sorry

for those who are trapped...

There's a storm coming.

For Christ's sakes, fullard.

No need to get so melodramatic

about the whole issue.

I mean there's

an actual storm coming.

You know, bad weather, falling

trees, blizzards, et cetera?

I think that's really gonna

delay the new feds.

Great.

They get anything back from the

lab on the DNA for that apple?

Pear? No, we didn't really

pull anything off the swab.

Didn't get any fingerprints

that were any good either.

Say again?

I mean, like,

the swab wasn't very good.

And the fingerprints...

We don't have the kind of

database to do...

No, no, no, no.

Not that part.

Did you say pear?

- Yeah.

- I thought it was an apple.

Well, so did I, but it's a pear.

Why?

Pear?

Pear... pear tree.

- What was his name?

- Who?

The mall Santa... the guy...

The Santa at the mall.

- Come on, come on.

- I got it. Got it here.

Come on.

- James.

- James? James what?

- Partridge.

- Ja...

Wake everybody up.

I've got it.

Got what?

How the son of a b*tch

is targeting people.

WwW.ZooCine.Ne Watch Movies and Series!

Sheriff, they're, coming in

but the storm... Yeah, yeah.

We've been looking

at this all wrong.

We've been expecting the number

of murders to match the day,

with a link to Jennifer

and her family.

But there's more to it than that.

Sheriff, what are you talking about?

"On the first day of Christmas,

my true love gave to me...

- "A partridge in a pear tree."

- Sh*t.

"On the second day of Christmas,

my true love gave to me,

two turtle doves."

Turtle dove point.

"Three French hens"...

The frenchens.

Three of them.

What is it?

The song. I can't remember the...

the...

- The lines...

- "Four calling birds."

"Four calling birds."

"Birds," the British term

for girls.

Four birds. Four women.

Which is why they left

Courtney alive.

F***!

"Five golden rings."

The FBI guys.

- Peterson's geese!

- "Six geese a-laying."

"Seven swans a-swimming."

Then something doesn't match up

here, 'cause last I checked,

we didn't have eight

milk maids killed.

No, I'm wrong.

Peterson's farm.

There's a spot at the back.

Eight milk maid machines.

Completely destroyed.

Umm... "Nine ladies dancing!"

The strippers at the ViXen club.

"Ten lords a leaping."

The mayor's son's bachelor party.

Ten of them dead.

This is good, good, good. Umm...

It's not over yet though, Jim.

There's twelve days

of Christmas.

There's still two lines left

in that song.

Yeah, I know.

But he's local.

- He has to be.

- Yeah but how can you be sure?

Peterson's geese.

Swans in a swimming pool,

five FBI agents show up for

their fingers to be hacked off.

Yeah. He's local.

Or he knows somebody who is.

You have to have access

to Peterson's farm

to get in twice

without being spotted.

Which is right next

to Jen's old house.

The swimming pool is...

I'll be right back, sheriff.

I gotta check something.

Yeah, yeah. The swimming pool...

Swimming pool... swimming pool.

Kathy!

Let's get some

Christmas music in here.

Did he just say Christmas music?

Front door, open.

Hey! Have you eaten yet?

Jen?

Who's sergeant Nicholas Conway?

God.

Mom?

You know that frank and i

love you very much.

Mom, I need to know.

What is this?

When I was younger...

Before I met your... frank...

I was married.

To who?

Nick Conway.

He was a very popular guy and...

He was in the British military.

Handsome.

He...

He came back from the Gulf war.

Kosovo, places I've never

even heard of and...

He changed, Jen. He...

He became... mean.

Nasty.

I was terrified.

I...

I tried to make

a happy life with him.

He used to say he was like

a bullet in a chamber

and the trigger had been pulled.

What did he do?

On Christmas Eve...

He...

He attacked me.

- Tried to murder me.

- God.

- He came at me with a knife.

- Jesus!

The police...

They arrested him.

I- i had to leave him.

Mom?

I'm sorry.

I divorced him.

And Mrs. frenchen?

She represented you.

That's why you always refer

to her as your lawyer

even though she only did

divorce cases?

That's right.

And this happened

at Christmas, didn't it?

Served divorce papers

on Christmas day.

He said that I had

broken up the family.

Christ!

He went off the deep end.

They, took him to a mental

institution to get help.

And he escaped?

No. That's just it.

The mental institution burned

down three years ago.

Nick Conway died.

- At least I...

- You thought he died?

They found all of his teeth

in the ashes.

I mean, they wrote a death

certificate

based on all of his teeth

and a burnt corpse.

Well, clearly,

he didn't die, mom.

He's out!

He's out.

Wait...
