(gunshots) (maniacal laughing) (gun clicks) (gunshot) (Cordova groaning) (screaming) (gunshots) Mercy, please! (gunshot) (knocking) - What the hell happened to you? - Cordova. - The cop? - Can I come in? - Yeah, of course. You sure you're okay? Can I get you anything to drink? - Coffee if you have it. - [Jake] Of course. - You never heard of Cordova

before the other day? - I've heard you mention him a few times, but other than that

not really. - That's interesting. - What's with the cloak

and dagger, Kate? I feel like you're

interrogating me. - Just want to make sure

you didn't know. - Know about what? You're not making any sense. - About JC. - JC? - And her affair (echo) affair. (dramatic sting) - What? - She went to him

after the murder. After she killed Barbara. (somber piano music) You know about this, Jake? - (sobs) They're gonna

catch me, baby, they're gonna catch me,

what do I do?! - I'll take care of it. Wink. - But one thing wasn't

making sense to me. What about Mark? Talk to me Jake (echo) Jake! Say something! (phone rings) Kate, Homicide. When? No, I can't. Yeah, I'm recovering. Send Brock. All right, put me in the loop. That was the station. Cordova was found mangled with bullets in his night club. The Laughing Mask of Vengeance was in your damn book

title the entire time. Jake, you're sick. You need help. Put those on. I let you get Cordova. God help me I did. Everyone is dead. Every member of The Rancors

is dead. It's not gonna

bring Barbara back. We know where

she's buried, Jake. (ominous music)

(old blues scat singing) - I did it, love. I left him. (chuckles) Yeah. We're almost out. Well can you get some more? I'll make it worth your while. Yeah. Love you. (gasps) Who the f*** are you?! (acoustic guitar music) I don't want to set The world on fire

- Jake, I can help you. I can help you, Jake. I just want to start

- Yes Jake, I can help you. A flame in your heart - Stay back! I'm gonna get Jake some help and you're gonna go away. You're gonna go-- (screaming) And that one is you No other will do

- I know you're in there Jake. (maniacal laughing) Fight him! Fight him! I've lost all ambition

for worldly acclaim I just want to be

the one you love And with your admission

that you feel the same I'll have reached the goal

I'm dreaming of, believe me I don't want to set

the world on fire I just want to start

a flame in your heart (phone rings) I don't want to set

the world on fire, honey I love you too much I just want to start - [Voiceover] 911,

what's your emergency? A great big flame

- [Voiceover] Hello? Down in your heart

- [Voiceover] Hello, hello? You see

- [Voiceover] Are you okay? Hello, is anyone there? Way down inside of me Darling, I have only one

desire And that one desire is you And I know nobody else

ain't gonna do I've lost all ambition

for worldly acclaim I just want to be

the one you love And with you admission

that you feel the same I'll have reached the goal

I'm dreaming of, believe me I don't want to set

the world on fire I just want to start

a flame in your heart - [Maria] My department

has prepared a statement. Our department is deeply

saddened by the loss of decorated officers Kate

O'Malley and Alejandro Cordova. Our thoughts and prayers

are with the families at this

difficult time. I visited them today and spoke with Kate's daughter Nancy. She is too young to

understand this injustice, but I assure you that justice will be served on her behalf. A daughter has lost her mother, this department has

lost two of its finest. We will not rest

until this masked vigilante is behind bars. - [Voiceover] What can you

tell us about James Thompson? - James Thompson, otherwise

known as "The Wog", escaped from custody

wounding Officer Brock Washington in the process. He is to be considered

extremely dangerous. That is all, thank you. - You son of a b*tch,

I'll kill you. You know it's a sin

to tell a lie Still you keep saying

I love you It 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 - [Voiceover] What's wrong

with you? Millions of hearts

have been broken - [Voiceover] Let me out! Just because these words

were spoken - Let me out of here! I love you, yes I do,

I love you If you break my heart I'll die So be sure it's true

when you say I love you - You're sick, you sick bastard, let me out of here, come on! Come on! It's a sin to tell a lie Be sure it's true

when you say I love you It's a sin to tell a lie - No, get me out of

here, get me out of here! Just because these words

were spoken - [Voiceover] No! Come on man, stop! If you break my heart,

I'll cry So be sure it's true

when you say I love you - No, stop, come on! Let me out, no, no! No, no!

(cutting noise) (maniacal laughter)

(screaming) It's a sin to tell a lie (classical jazz music) Be sure it's true

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

have been broken Just because these words

were spoken I love you, yes I do,

I love you If you break
