The Lost Angel

---

Freeze!

Now!

Do you hear me, freak?

You burn that towel and

you'd wish you were dead!

Drop the freaking match!

They may try and separate us, get different versions.

I'm saying he had a gun.

- It's fine by me.

- I got a cold one we can use.

I'll do a few dots.

I could tell the truth.

No, no, no, no.

- The gun's better.

- Yeah, yeah.

Sh*t!

- Well, how do you think I feel?

- What do you mean?

I'm the one that said

"Drop the match."

There'll be an

investigation.

F***!

Look... I think everybody's gonna be

so happy we got him,

- there won't be a problem.

- People have short memories.

I remember I bought

the beer last time.

I'm gonna need

more than beer.

- Come on, let's go get something to eat.

- Come on.

[Billie speaking indistinctly]

...in his puke the whole time.

- Stop, stop.

- That, that's not a double.

Alright, just...

well... just bring me a double double.

Uh, uh, uh, uh.

Thank you.

- That's your third.

- Yeah, I wanna sleep tonight.

I'll sleep like I'm dead.

So what was all that graffiti

at the murder scene?

What do you give a sh*t for, Banks?

We got the guy.

You're sure you got

the right guy?

- Ugh, come on, Banks.

- I don't mean to be an a**hole.

Sure you do.

The graffiti was red spray paint, the guy had

3 cans of this sh*t in his basement.

I just wanted to stand up.

It sounds very circumstantial.

The guy was stalking

Pam Morrison for 2 weeks.

- So she took a restraining order out on him.

- Banks, what do you want? A snuff movie?

I want it to stand up.

We brought Wall on that Fishburn murder

over a year ago.

- Which you know he did.

- I know he walked.

Banks, he killed at least how many?

Two? Two people now?

- Yeah, that we know about.

- But Pam Morrison was different.

He wanted us to find her.

Think about it.

He made that display

with the graffiti.

Those other 2 kills,

they weren't like that.

He dropped them

in the river.

- And he got away with it.

- Hey, I love to see the prick fry.

That's it for me.

Hello?

Father Kevin?

[Whimpering] No.

Inspector Palmer.

- This one looks real familiar.

- Yeah?

We got the wrong guy.

You all go to St. Rita's Church?

- It happened 4 hours ago.

- Here?

I don't think so. There doesn't seem to be

any sign of a struggle.

The perv has real artistic control

over this display.

So, who calls it in?

Drive-by security guy.

He's being interviewed downstairs.

Saw a light in the warehouse.

Called it in.

So, he kills her someplace else and

brings her back here, and

sets all this up?

Umm-hmm. All within the last 4 hours

judging by the time of death.

And you are sure that

these are the same?

Exactly the same as the

Pam Morrison kill.

The same warehouse display.

Same everything.

You gotta care about

that sh*t now.

The last 4 hours.

While your guy Brian Wall was in the hospital

with a shot-up leg.

He could still be involved.

You don't get a better alibi

by being in a hospital

because you were shot by a cop.

Sir, if they're letting Wall out...

And he'll be complaining about

what you did to him.

No weapons charge?

Billie, they know it's one of

your cold guns.

- Same death?

- Umm-hmm.

Drugs, torture,

beaten to death.

But, not raped.

Right, just like Pam Morrison.

Nothing sexual.

Look at this altar, I mean,

this isn't sexual, this is religious.

More like sacrilegious.

And, uh, ballistics?

No, no fingerprints. No nothing.

Almost a professional RTK homicide.

It's not sexual.

But they're both women.

Is there anything that they have in common,

I mean, did they know each other?

Don't know yet. But they both

belong to the same Catholic Church.

St. Rita's.

Oh, Brian Wall was a janitor

over there, so...

He's got an accomplice.

You've got a serial killer.

Banks, who the hell is that?

And don't mention serial killer again, okay?

The Feds will stick us with some f***ing profiler.

They already have.

God damn!

Well, you know, that's one of

the ten commandments.

I'm Father Brian.

You know, Father Brian, we take it very seriously

when people are tortured and killed.

Well, then I'll skip the smalltalk.

Do you know what this writing is, what it means?

- It is cuneiform.

- Cuneiform?

The world's first written language.

Created over 5 thousand years ago

by the Sumerians, and later adapted by

the Arcadians and the Babylonians.

That's where our alphabet

evolved from.

And this... looks like

the Babylonian version.

What does it say?

Well, that symbol there, that means

the beginning of the day, sunrise.

This symbol here, the next day,

and this figure in the middle,

It means death.

My guess is this serial is letting you know that

each 24-hour period will bring you another body.

Welcome to the team, Father.

You know what is strange, is that woman,

her priest, Father Kevin,

is one of the world experts

in deciphering Cuneiform.

We gotta find him now.

Julian, check your snitch.

I'm on it.

Banks, show the father here the pictures

from the Morrison kill, the cuneiform.

Okay, I'll get them.

But what are you gonna do?

- Are you okay?

- F*** okay, get me home.

All right.

You f***ing c*nt pig!

Trying to frame me but it didn't work.

Now you have to go out

and do your f***ing job!

Oh, I'll be watching you.

Hey, I've got a restraining order.

You have to stay away from my client.

How safe at you at night? I have nothing to do now

but feel the pain and think about you.

Come and get me!

Come on now, you have to

stay away from her too. Get it?

I'll leave the door open, huh?

I'll be f***ing with

your head so bad...

Just walk through that door. I got your leg,

I want the rest of your ass.

Man, you stink today.

I grew up in the county orphanage.

I didn't have your cultural advantages.

What you haven't had is the use of the bathroom

in about a month. And watch your mouth.

You know, there's a good john

in the park.

Full of disease.

You gotta start doing real f***ing

better than this, man!

You know if I didn't need this sh*t,

I wouldn't be helping you.

Listen, we got the wrong guy.

Brian Wall is a murdering pscho

piece of sh*t!

Right, right. He's a douche bag who plays with fire

but he didn't do the Morrison kill.

Wall has killed and has walked.

You sent us after this guy for whatever,

but everything's all f***ed up.

You f***ed it up?

Don't blame me.

The same guy killed again.

Yeah, while your guy was in jail.

That kinda sucks, doesn't it?

The killer's using warehouses to

display his victims.

Warehouses?

Yeah. Know anything about that?

Check out the West Side.

- What do you know?

- Cruise the West Side, that's what I hear.

How do you know that?

People on the streets, they get

paid off to do things. You know?

What people?

Sh*t, man! F***ers like me who could

use the money. Break open a warehouse.

Move a stiff to a warehouse,

sh*t like that.

Who, who pays for sh*t

like that?

They don't tell me who. Same thing as

I don't tell me who they are.

Being homeless is
