why he sent you the heart?

Maybe it's because he thinks

you lack compassion.

Are you trying to be funny?

Great!

I've been wondering...

...why he only kills during the high tide.

I'll bet it has something to do with the...

...astrological alignment of the stars

in conjunction with the new moon.

Scorpio is a water sign.

The highest tide pulls in the new moon.

That's just off the top of my head.

You probably have a better idea.

No, I don't.

He shows up every month

on the night of the new moon...

...he kills before midnight,

in different locations...

...then he disappears.

We don't have a motive.

- We don't have a pattern.

- Slow down.

The only thing we know for sure

is that he's not a vegetarian.

Stone?

Okay, dipshit, your turn.

What do you make of all this?

I don't care about your degrees

or secondhand knowledge.

I want to know what you think. You.

Any units in the area, report.

There's an intruder at 16 Roselle Street.

- That's-

- My place.

My shotgun.

Call for backup. Now!

Michelle?

Where is he?

If this is a joke, I don't think it's funny.

- What are you doing?

- I'm taking a shower.

You're taking a shower?

- I heard screaming.

- The water got colder!

- The door is open.

- I didn't open it.

Lock it!

- What are you doing?

- They're on their way.

She's okay.

Get back here!

Stupid son of a b*tch!

I'd better find Durkin.

Stone! For Christ's sake!

- It bit me!

- Don't worry about it.

- What?

- I'll get the medics.

Come on, move back!

Her chest was ripped open.

He must have used a hatchet.

No, he used his hands.

You saw him, didn't you?

The guy's hyperventilating.

Okay, come on.

I'm okay. Need some fresh air.

Give him space.

Just calm down. Breathe in deep.

Easy, fella.

Hey, Harley!

Foster?

Jesus!

Foster? Come on, pal.

- Jesus.

- Stone, are you all right?

Dick.

- What are you doing here?

- No wonder you have panic attacks.

- That's it! That's your psychic connection.

- You're supposed to be dead.

You've never heard of a bulletproof vest?

Man, watch out. Right.

Don't you ask me why I did that.

- You'll be okay.

- Yeah, I'll be fine.

Did you see anything?

No, I saw a flash and then I felt the pain,

but that's all I remember.

Michelle, I'd like a word with you, please.

Catch up with you later.

I'm sorry, it's my lighter.

- Where's the report from the lab?

- On your desk.

- What did you find out?

- Read the report.

What did you find out?

Traces of Leptospira interrogans.

What?

That's the rat virus

that causes Weil's disease.

- Any fingerprints?

- Just one set.

- Did you bring them in?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because they were Foster's.

Your old partner, my best friend.

Do you remember him?

Get your f***ing hands off me.

You want to tell me

why you turned me in for a medical?

- You really want to know?

- Tell me.

Not because you caused

the death of your best friend...

...not because you ran away with his wife,

not because you then dumped her...

...but because you're past it.

You're a liability. You're a f***ing menace!

Get your hands off him!

Relax.

Get in my office. Now!

You know what I just heard?

You came face to face with the killer

and unloaded a full clip at him.

The word is you missed.

- Do you know me to miss?

- You saying you hit him?

- I didn't miss. That's what I'm saying.

- Then why the f*** isn't he dead?

I unloaded a full clip,

450 Magnum, point blank.

It disappeared. Vanished in front of me.

You are telling me this guy is superhuman?

I don't know what he is,

sure as hell ain't like you or me.

What is it?

Genetic fingerprints

have come back from the lab.

I think you should see this.

What the hell is this?

Multiple restriction,

polymorphic DNA sequences.

Bullshit.

It has the DNA structure of all its victims.

It says here it's got rat DNA.

It's got your DNA, too.

Where the hell do you think you're going?

- Durkin, stick with him.

- Yes, sir.

- And, Durkin...

- Sir?

Watch your ass.

If it makes you feel any better,

those DNA reports can be wrong.

Yeah, right.

He didn't get her heart.

What did you say?

The last victim's heart, he didn't get it.

That means it's going to come back.

Are you ready to die?

What?

The morgue. Come on!

Get lost!

Excuse me!

Out of my way, you fucks!

He's in there.

I'll wait outside.

Didn't think you'd buy that.

I don't like this.

Don't move or you're dead!

- What are you eating?

- He works here.

- Oxford?

- Yes.

Sorry.

Anytime.

What?

Up there.

I'll be damned.

What's going on here?

- What do you think?

- I think he's gone.

Yeah, right.

You got him!

I know I hit him.

We need bigger guns, Stone.

That's quite a hole.

- Did you get to see him?

- Him?

That wasn't a "him. "

That was a f***ing "it"!

- We've got to get bigger guns!

- Take a deep breath. Relax.

Okay. Come on.

We need bigger guns, big f***ing guns!

Sorry.

We're getting big guns, right?

That's where we're going, to get big guns.

Stone, we need some big f***ing guns!

- Another one.

- Did you see his eyes?

All I saw was this...

Drink.

...huge f***ing thing.

How are you feeling?

- You okay?

- Yeah.

How?

- I feel...

- On edge?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Have one of these.

- You really get laid every night?

- Yeah!

Now what?

We're going to get bigger guns.

Hallelujah.

A-3, high-powered semiautomatic.

- Something bigger.

- What?

Does the Chief know you're down here?

We need big guns. Big f***ing guns.

What the hell's he on?

- Chocolate.

- Chocolate?

I want a grenade launcher.

High-capacity 90mm, automatic.

- Right.

- SA80.

These are too f***ing small!

No. That's an assault shotgun,

fully automatic.

Listen, that fires 650 rounds a minute.

What do you need two for?

What the f*** is this thing you're after,

a German tank?

No, that's a Megatron flash grenade.

You could clear the jungle

with one of these things.

Bingo! Let's go!

Right. I was wondering

if one of you guys would sign...

This thing, it's like the sum total

of every serial killer I've studied.

A single organism made up

of multiple DNA structures.

It's as if someone took every serial killer,

and rolled it into one incredible being.

What are you doing with those things?

Who authorized this?

Sh*t!

- Why didn't I think of that before?

- What?

"25, 78." 25th year, 78th cycle.

The Chinese calendar.

2008, now, this year.

- What are you on about?

-2008 is the year.

- Of the rat!

- What the hell are you talking about?

The inverted triangle is not only

a symbol of evil...

...it also represents water.

What have you done to him?

He's sounding like you.

- What about the circle?

- Circle is the sign of magic and power.

Everything inside the circle

is protected from the outside.

Hello!

Will somebody please tell me

what the hell's going on here?

Scorpio is the sign most susceptible

to the powers of darkness.

To Scorpio, the idea of being joined...

...with a supernatural being

is very important.
