- Miss Oates!
Anybody home?
It's me Ms. Oates, Jersey Callum,
Homicide Division, remember?
- Lieutenant, something's not right here.
- Yeah Mullin, you're not right here.
Mullin?
Alley?
- Sh*t, Jersey, don't you cops ever knock?
- We do.
- I knocked, I yelled, you didn't answer.
- I was sleepin'.
People do that in the
privacy of their own homes.
- You getting' up or
you just goin' to bed?
- I don't have to take this crap.
- Alley.
- You bastard.
- Alley, I tried to find
you up at the school.
- You're trespassing Callum.
- The Dean of the English Department
said you quit weeks ago.
- Just get out.
- What the hell is this, huh?
What happened to you?
- Just leave please.
- All right Mullin, pack it
up, huh, we're outta here.
- What about, uh, what about the witch?
- You know you're really
somethin', I mean that.
You're bettin' a thousand, you know that?
Go on, go.
Look, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
it's kinda hard to get good
help these day, ya know?
It's funny, ya know 'cause
that's one of the reasons I came,
ya know, you can help.
Ya know, I saw the files
and things you burned
out there in the fireplace,
card happened to be one of 'em.
So anyway, I'm gonna leave
you another card just in case.
- In case?
In case what?
I get the urge to help you
dig up baby bones again?
Like some dog you got on a leash?
- Alley, last week we dug
- I can't help you.
- It seems a mortician
had kept them locked up
in a storage room for some time.
He kept them alive by feedin' 'em--
- Damn it, I don't care!
- By feedin' 'em parts
of his other clientele.
- Clientele?
You mean ca, cadavers?
remains in their stomachs.
- Ah Jesus.
- The mortician turned himself in,
he said he had some ghouls locked away
in a storeroom at his place.
- God, enough!
Just shut up, will you?
I don't want this crap in my life anymore.
It hurt too much.
Every time I'd be
helping you on some case,
I'd be praying we wouldn't
find 'em, but we would.
Just what the hell
am I supposed to do
with the grief, Jersey?
What do you do with it?
- All right, you listen
to me for just a minute,
I'ma tell you somethin'.
A lot of people don't believe in
this so-called gift that you've got.
A lot of the people don't believe in what,
what do you call it, psychometry, eh?
And I'll tell you the truth,
I don't know if I believe it or not,
I, I have seen your work
and I've seen the results.
Listen, on this case,
we don't have anything,
we don't know who these kids are,
we don't know where they live,
we don't know who their
parents are, ya know?
I don't have a clue.
I'm supposed to tap every resource I have
and that's why I'm comin' to you.
All right I know you had it kinda rough
so did a lot of people.
Well you go on you,
go on, live in this bizarre
kinda tomb you made for yourself
or you can come out there and
join the livin' and maybe,
just maybe between the two of us we can
I don't know maybe we can
help these kids move on.
You know, at least promise
Alley, promise.
- Oh.
- And you believe
this to be true, this curse?
Mr.Chen, you're not
helping us here, Mr. Chen.
- I have told you what is true,
all at great risk to myself.
- These are very serious charges
Mr. Chen, now you're attorney--
- He won't be needed.
- Why is that?
- Because he can't hep me.
- You called us for help.
Why, why'd you do that?
- I did what I did because I was afraid,
they are becoming restless,
harder to manage, the
cycle must be stopped,
you must stop them!
- Just who are
they, come on one more time.
- They are my masters, just as they were
my father's before me and
- So you and your ancestors
have been retainers then?
- Yes, three, three centuries,
it is penance generations of my family
have learned to live with.
- A penance?
- For mistakes my ancestors have made.
- Pay attention,, huh, maybe
you'll learn somethin'.
- They involved themselves
with things they did not understand.
- The occult?
Okay, question, if these, if these things
are are so feared, so powerful,
why do they require mere
mortals to protect them?
- They do not, it has been
my family's responsibility,
curse to see that mankind
is protected from them.
You see if they are not
fed, they will feed.
- But the bodies they found
were dead, Mr. Chen.
They, they weren't any threat to anybody.
- They are kyoshi, the
undead, when they are full
they can play 'possum very
well, very well indeed.
- You wanna see it again?
- No.
- Well, what do ya think?
- I don't know.
Somethin', somethin' feels
different about this one.
What else have you got?
- Looks like Mr. Chen here
is the last of a long line.
He was the only son,
he's never been married
and there's no children.
He inherited this mortuary
business from his late father.
- Who had it before his father?
- According to what we found,
he's from a long lie of morticians, why?
- Fresh meat?
He'd have an endless supply
of protein, wouldn't he?
Organs, limbs?
Now, he couldn't touch the bodies
that he had to put out for viewing.
- No, no.
but he could strip their backs.
- Oh yeah, well.
Are you serious?
- Well, Mr. Chen certainly is.
Oh I don't know, I mean,
maybe he took those three kids, ya know,
invented the ghouls to create
his own reality, I don't know.
- Just wasted three live, huh?
- You mean four.
- Oh, listen, I am,
know what I said over there,
the kitchen and all and the talk about you
building the tomb for yourself
and all, and I just ya know.
- I was talking about Mr. Chen.
- I'm sorry, I thought you meant uh.
- Forget it, doesn't matter.
All right, but I'm tellin' you,
any publicity this time and I'm walkin'.
- No problem.
- No, Jersey I mean it,
you keep my name out of it this time.
- Look, need to know basis.
- I don't want people lookin' me up after,
not even you, especially you.
Well.
Let's go see the bodies.
Hoped I'd never see this place again.
- Yeah well you almost didn't,
this building's gonna be torn down.
The County Coroner is consolidating
new headquarters over in Jefferson,
all these satellite building's
gonna be demolished.
In two months, this place'll
probably be the first one.
- Good.
- Alley, sign in would ya?
- Floofsoms!
Bad!
Bad dog!
Doesn't baby waby recognize
Lieutenant Jersey, see?
- Just give us the tags

- Are you authorized?
Okay, what about her?
- She is with me.
- Oh, driver's license?
Hm, porked out, didn't we?
- Hey come on, will you, we
don't have all night here.
- Oh cool your jets Jersey,

None of our patients are going anywhere.
Okay, come on you two.
- What, are you serious?
- Look, I've got procedures
