I'll deal with him. Did you find out anything? - Lopez runs The Rancors. A thug for hire type local gang. Everybody that's been killed

so far has either been a member

or associated with them in some way. Wink ran their

prostitution ring. - How does that help us

find Barbara? - It doesn't, but if

we can find this Lopez, okay, then we can

use him as bait. I don't think he'll

come after you, not yet. God Jake, your whole plan was misconceived from the beginning! - Look, somebody had

to do something! Someone did! - Just stay safe,

out of the way. Let me handle this. That's why you came to me. If that bastard has

Barbara, we will find her. Take those. They'll calm you. I'm gonna get you some water. - [Amanda] You can just

take this back inside the van and then

I'll be right there with you. As soon as you get this

back in the van I'll be out in

just a few minutes and then we can take this back to... There, and Cordova

will show up and we'll get this guy

put back together. Okay, all right? - Anything? - Nope, nothing. There's no blood,

no hair, no DNA. It's like the head

grew on the plate. - How'd he get in? - No signs of forced entry,

all windows and doors locked. I mean this is the first time

I've ever been on a scene,

there's no evidence. Whoever this guy is, he is

very very good at what he does. - What about Mark's home? - Cordova's over there

with another team. The body was actually found by this waitress

from the local coffee house, yeah, Mr. Romantic over

there, he invited her over for an audition,

and check this out, there was a note

on the front door that said "Come inside,

'head' to the kitchen." - You're kidding me. - [Amanda] Nope. - No, it f***ing said

head in quotation marks. - So she walks

into the kitchen and there's a body, no head,

blood everywhere, filled with knives,

just craziest scene. Needless to say,

all her tit money's gonna be going towards

therapy bills. - And of course there's

no clues we can use. - It's all clean, just

like all the others. We ain't got sh*t. - Great. Jake. We'll find her. Hey, what's with the row

of keys in the cabinet? I never noticed that before. - They're master keys. For the tenants. In case they lose one,

we can cut one for them. - What tenants? - My family, they made

their money in real estate. They sold most of it years ago, but they kept this

one little place over in Pine Hills, I think? I thought you knew that. - No, first time. - Why do you ask? - No reason. At any rate, I just

wanted to let you know you can stay

at my house. You'll be safer there. - [Jake] I'm not leaving. - Look, we can't make

you Jake, but I would. (phone rings) I have to go. Brock's gonna have

the patrol car parked out front

for the next two days. Sh*t, I gotta go. If you need anything,

please call me. (dramatic piano riff) Boo, I'm the boogeyman The terrible, horrible

boogeyman I come in the middle of night

and Frighten bad little girls like

you Beware, better have a care I'm going to follow you

everywhere I crawl through the ceiling

and the wall And call on bad little girls

like you I'll torture you and hunt you I got you where I want you A victim of my dark and dirty

plot At the slightly whim,

I'll tear you limb from limb In other words, I'll put you

on the spot Boo, I'm the boogeyman The terrible, horrible

boogeyman I come in the middle of the

night And frighten bad little girls

like you (screaming) - [Voiceover] Bobby was

the first to go. He dashed out into the

sunlight singing and joyful. I'll build a fine house,

get myself a good wife And settle down for

the rest of my life - [Voiceover] That's what

he thought when he came Across a man carrying

a load of straw. Spotty asked the man. - [Spotty] What have you there,

mister? - [Voiceover] Straw,

my fine young pig. Would you like some? - [Spotty] Oh very much. I'll build me a house

out of the straw. Oh thank you. - [Voiceover] And so Spotty

took the straw and built himself

a fine looking house. He finished it up in one day. But the next day the wolf came. He knocked on the door. (knocking) - [Wolf] Open up, my

friend, and let me come in. - [Spotty] No never

mister Wolf, not by the hair of my chiny chin chin! (sobbing) - [Wolf] Then I'll

huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in! (dramatic sting) - [Voiceover] And so

the wolf took Spotty to his cave. Then the wolf went out

looking for Curly Tail. Well when Curly Tail set

out to see his fortune, he also met the man. This time he was carrying

a load of twigs. You smiled when we parted It hurt me somehow I thought there was nothing

worthwhile The tables are turning And you're crying now While I am just learning to

smile (groaning) Who's sorry now Who's sorry now Whose heart is aching

for breaking each vow Who's sad and blue Who's crying too Just like I cried over you Right to the end Just like a friend I tried to warn you somehow You had your way Now you must pay I'm glad that you're sorry now - (muffled) No, no, no, no! You will never know the

pain you had brought to me When I realized that it was

not to be Every hour of sadness that I

spent They say madness will embrace

you - No, no-- (gunshot) You knew love was blind at

last (music cuts off) (muffled distant screaming) (upbeat keyboard music) A very happy birthday to you A very happy birthday to you Smile a smile from ear to ear Wish a wish that lasts all

year - Finally Kate, what the f***? - Would you stop giving

me grief, Lloyd, okay? I'm here, I'm just

a few minutes late. - A few minutes? I should be lucky you

even showed up this time? - How I ever married you,

or had sex with you, is beyond me, okay? By the way, this is

an inappropriate time to have this conversation. We're at our kid's

ucking birthday party. - 'Cause you're so readily

available all the other times? - I'm doing my job. You're out there

banging your secretary. - My secretary, what are

you even talking about? - You know what I mean. - [Lloyd] Know what you mean? This is ridiculous, Kate. - Where's Nancy? - She's right over there. - Nancy? Nancy! (ominous music) (screaming) Nancy, baby! - [Lloyd] Oh my God, baby! Nancy, what are you doing? - [Kate] Nancy, baby! - [Lloyd] Oh my God,

Nancy, what are you doing? - Baby, are you okay? Why'd you leave the party? - Some clown gave me

this balloon. - Baby, where'd this clown go? - [Nancy] That way. Okay Lloyd, take her now. Get out of here. - Come on, we'll get

some cake, okay? (maniacal laughing) - You made a big mistake

coming for my daughter. (ominous music) (gunshots) Damn it. (coughing) (classical blues music) You know it's a sin

to tell a lie Still you keep saying

I love you - [Kate] Why are you

doing this?! This may be true,

I wish I knew But I'm giving

fair warning to you Be sure it's true

when you say I love you It's a sin to tell a lie Millions of hearts

have been broken Just because these words

were spoken I love you, yes I do,
