Hey, what can I get you?

Coffee?

And for you?

I'll have a steak.

Steak?

And how do you want that done?

Well done.

Well done.

And what two sides?

Coming right up, guys.

Afternoon.

Hello.

You come in here a lot,

don't you?

Sometimes.

My name is Kathy, by the way.

Sorry?

My name is Kathy.

Oh, that's a very nice name.

I like my sister's name better.

Eleanor.

It just sort of flows.

There's this poem I remember

from high school about this guy.

He would dream

about his long-lost Eleanor.

Do you like movies?

Uh, I do.

I thought I'd go and see the

new Jack Nicholson film.

You know, the one

that's up for all the Oscars.

And, um, it's playing at the Rivoli,

and I just thought...

If you're not doing anything

Saturday night...

Um, maybe you could,

you know...

This Saturday?

Yeah.

Oh, uh...

Jeez, I wish I could.

Um... I just can't.

Um, I have something panned.

Sure you do.

Wait, maybe some other time.

Just forget about it, okay?

Forget about it!

Don't take this

the wrong way. I'm...

I'm sorry?

No. No!

It's lost Lenore

from The Raven.

Edgar Allan Poe's lost Lenore.

Not Eleanor.

Stupid b*tch!

What are you doing here?

- Get away from me!

- Stop it! Stop!

Stop! Please! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Somebody help!

Stop it! Stop it!

Get off me! Stop it!

Please let me go.

Don't...

Not so smart now, are you...

Kathy.

But you are...

...so beautiful.

Hi, Mom.

Hello, sweetie.

I'm just calling to see how

you are getting along.

Mom, I can't really talk...

...right now.

I gotta get up for work.

Well, don't forget to ask

for that raise.

I will.

I promise I'll ask

about it today.

Because I can't keep

supplementing your income.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Make sure you do.

Okay, bye.

Bye, sweetie.

Bye.

Oh! Hey, Wendy.

How's it going?

Good. Off somewhere nice?

Ah, Vancouver,

but it's probably raining up there.

Oh, at least you get to travel.

All I see is my computer screen.

Oh, I get to go to Florida next

week with a two-day layover.

Nice. I hope you

come back with a tan.

Oh, there's our ride.

See ya! Bye.

Jason, here you go.

Hi, uh, Mr. Cashman.

Here's that report that you asked for.

Thank you, Wendy.

Looks like a fine job.

Thanks.

Um, I was wondering if, um...

Well, I would

like to know, um...

You know you're busy...

Okay, whenever you wish, Wendy.

Communications department.

Communicate with me.

Hey, Jeffrey.

Hello, dollface.

Please don't call me that.

You know you like it.

Come on.

You're doing anything

tomorrow night?

No.

Good. How about dinner then?

8:
00 at the Embassy?

Oh, that's that, uh,

jazz place, right?

Hey, I gotta go.

I'll see you there then?

Okay, I'll see you there.

Bye.

Lucille Carlton goes jogging every

morning with Elizabeth Osborne.

Today at 5:
30

she came by.

The door was open, light on.

She took a peek and ran

home and called 911.

She believes the deceased is

Elizabeth Osborne.

None of these can be linked to our killer.

But the MOs are similar.

All were sexually abused

after they were murdered.

But our tech guys did find some gray

hairs and semen in the genitalia,

establishing our killer's

blood type as AB positive.

This just came in for you, sir.

You better hear it.

I hope you enjoy

the performance, Lieutenant Delgado.

I found it exquisite.

Please.

Don't hurt me.

Take anything you want.

We've got a lot

of nice things here.

Watch... Jewelry...

Please don't hurt me

and my baby.

I know you're much more powerful than me.

You frighten me.

And I have another baby coming.

You wouldn't want

to hurt a baby, would you?

Please don't kill me.

It's not fair!

I did what you wanted!

Julia Stern conveyed real emotion,

don't you think so, Sebastian?

Oh, but how terribly

inconsiderate.

I haven't introduced mysel.

Call me "the Griffin."

I like the object of art

I left with Mrs. Stern.

I ended a universe with one stroke when

I took Julia Stern's life, Detective.

I can wipe out a world in less

than a minute whenever I please.

You have your work to do,

Detective, and I have mine,

and I do hope you like

my little cretins.

Art and ritual add so muh to the

enjoyment of life, don't you think so?

If you don't share my philosophy,

catch me before I kill again.

Come in.

So, Lieutenant,

how's it really going?

And no BS.

No apparent motive,

no personal connection to the victims.

We've got his blood type

and that's it.

Well, let me put it this way,

Lieutenant.

The Chief's under a lot of

pressure and he doesn't like it.

Therefore, I'm under a lot of

pressure and I don't like it.

So, it comes down to you,

and you're expendable.

And I want to go to RV land with a

clean record, and a clear conscience.

Understood.

All three murders happened in

your precinct, sir. I get it.

Excuse me,

Lieutenant.

Our precinct.

So far, you've got nowhere.

Maybe a replacement could

come up with some new angles.

Maybe.

Or maybe by the time the

replacement is brought up to speed,

we'd have four or five

murders or more.

That's your problem,

Lieutenant.

This guy thinks he can

get away with it.

What do you think?

I'll get him.

My daughter.

Hi, sweetheart.

Sure.

How's my little man?

He did?

What else? Well, you tell him

Grandpa's got a big surprise for him.

I love you, too.

Anything else, Captain?

Just catch that freaking monster.

I want him dead.

Hey, how'd it go?

Good. I got everything.

Great.

Can't wait to hear it.

I got the report back.

They think the Griffin is

well-educated, well-spoken,

vivacious, effeminate,

has trouble mixing with people,

asocial.

Breaking into Julia Stern's apartment

was easier than talking his way in.

Right. They also think the

Griffin may be taking the heads

as a kind of totem

or sexual object

and he might even eat the brains for

knowledge or the eyes for vision.

You know, maybe there's

a simpler explanation.

Hey, Franklin,

you're a little fruitcake.

You know,

I bet I can see better out of my one eye

than you can

out of your four eyes.

Get up, fruitcake.

Hi.

So, did you get it?

Did I get what?

Um, the raise, remember?

You were going to

ask your boss for a raise.

Uh... No.

I mean, I tried.

I just, uh...

Mr. Cashman was really busy and

he was on his way out and I...

Really? With all that overtime you've

been putting in, you deserve that raise.

Thanks.

Well, not to worry.

Thank you.

I'm sure you'll have another chance, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Mmm, thanks!

Mmm!

Cheers.

Mmm.

And that necklace, by the way,

that's really something.

You noticed!

Yeah, well, I mean, it's hard to miss.

You've been fiddling with it all night.

I have. Sorry.

I noticed it as soon as you got out

of the car, actually. Is it new?

I was out for a walk

during my lunch time,

and I saw it in

the jewelry store window.

It's kind of expensive, but...

I think that you should

stay at my house tonight.

I... Jeffrey, I can't.

Well, I...

Look, purely for, you know, safety reasons,
