how the neighborhood

has changed, you know,

with the scene in the park,

and those kids trying to break in.

What kids, break in where Hazel?

Well, it slipped my mind.

What, what are you are

you talking about Hazel?

I remember now.

I heard voices coming

from your laboratory,

and I went there, and

I thought it was you.

But as I turned on the light,

I saw this young woman

running out the back door.

Did you call the police, Hazel?

No I didn't.

Nothing was missing.

You think I should have?

Hello.

Administration, Mrs. Thomas speaking.

Yes, Chief, sorry.

How can I help you?

Yes, I know it's here somewhere.

Bear with me.

I found it, Chief.

Let's see.

Oh that's Hayes.

H-A-Y-E-S, right Chief?

Pamela Hayes.

165 Clermont Avenue.

165 Clermont.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you very much.

You moron.

Angela, how ya doin'?

Hi, Mr. Holland.

Is Nicky here?

No, the last time I

saw him he was with you.

I haven't seen him since yesterday.

Mm-hm.

We had a fight.

He's not at his apartment.

Did you go there?

Did you call him?

Yeah.

Well don't worry about it.

We've always been very

high-strung in the family,

but I'm sure that when I see him

I can get you kids back

together again.

Thank you.

Will you have him call me?

I certainly will.

Damn.

Where are those matches?

Hey Pam, you wanna

grab those paper towels

in the back seat of the car?

Yeah, I got 'em.

Well naturally I thought there

was some kind of connection

between necrophilia and his uncle.

God, I hope he calls me tomorrow.

My curiosity is driving me crazy.

Well, you think we

should call the police?

And tell them what?

We don't have any proof of anything.

I'm not even sure

if Nick was involved.

Look we'll talk about it tomorrow.

I'll see you in the morning, okay?

Yeah, night Man.

Did you hear the phone?

Jesus Christ, you

scared the hell outta me.

It's your mom.

I'll be right there.

Next time, Miss Hayes.

Next time.

Hey, come in Joe!

How ya doin', Doc?

Said you had something to show me.

This is one for the books,

my friend.

What makes this one so different?

The bits of tissue I examined,

are those of a woman between

the ages 15 to 20 years of age.

As you probably know,

the person stops bleeding

when the heart stops.

Now, judging by the way

the blood coagulated,

the girl was alive when

she was disemboweled.

Son of a b*tch.

It get worse.

Worse?

Aspetta, it get worse.

There are traces of semen

on the intestine tissue.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Well I'll get this down to them now

and, will you do me a favor, Doc?

What's a matter, Joe?

Would you get rid of the jacket.

I'm dying with the heat.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

In this job you get

used to everything!

It's all your fault Nicolas.

All your fault!

Well you'll just have to wait

my dear boy.

But not you, my sweet.

I found a suitable companion

for your safe journey.

Don't worry.

You know, I'm quite harmless.

That's it.

This ain't my idea of fun excercise.

Oh, I'm so glad you said that.

I quit.

I'm dying of thirst.

Let's get you some water.

Oh Christ.

Look at him, Tarzan of the Apes.

Does he have that kind

of energy where it counts?

Oh, and then some.

MWah!

You know Professor Wilson,

even when I was your

student, I never liked you.

She said it's not

unusual for guys Nick's age

to take off like that.

You don't buy that, do you?

Sure don't.

So, why don't you call the police?

And tell them what?

That I think Nick's uncle may

have done something to him,

because he showed me his laboratory?

Oh yeah right.

I can see them coming

to arrest me now.

Well if you're not gonna

call the police

then why don't you just

forget about it?

You know, you are really amazing.

Can't you see that there

just might be some connection

between all these girls

that are disappearing

in town and Nick?

And what about Mrs. Pavelock, huh?

Next door for Christ's sake?

Did it ever occur to

you, just occur to you,

that Nick just might

be telling the truth

about his uncle, huh?

Well then call the

f***ing police already?

Why don't you make up your mind?

All right, drop it.

Here comes Kevin.

What, quitters?

No pain, no gain.

Hey, where's Stan?

I thought he was joining us.

(50W)'-

Stan's forte is indoor sports.

Hey, you guys are coming

to dinner with us tonight,

aren't you?

No, we can't.

Stan's working late tonight.

I'm gonna meet him later

at his apartment.

But you guys will survive

without us, right?

Oh, I think we will survive.

And if we don't, what a way to go.

You didn't get the windshield.

- Sorry Mr.

- Holland, I'll get it now.

Moron.

Moron.

A**hole.

Let's see where you go.

Very clever Mr. Holland, very clever.

Who else would have an easier

time getting rid of bodies?

Christ, I'll be the biggest

thing to hit this town since...

I need proof, proof.

Oh, and what an invitation.

Look at this.

A funeral.

Bunch of hypocrites.

Oh now Roscoe,

why would you say that?

Are you kidding, Hazel?

Sorry for your gain.

They always hated the bastard.

What a sense of humor you have,

Roscoe.

I know, Hazel.

Well, can I help you, young man?

Oh no, I'm fine.

I guess I'm a little bit shaken up

over the death of my friend.

I can understand that.

Would you like to sit for a while?

No, I'm fine.

It seems like my wife

is a little bit late.

You know, I really hate these things.

I can understand,

but unfortunately it's

one of life's realities.

I'm sure that you would

be more comfortable

if you came inside.

Much cooler, we have air conditioning.

Oh no, I'm fine.

Just stay out here,

until my wife arrives.

Well then you wouldn't

mind if I went back inside.

I have a lot of people waiting for me.

Thank you and God bless you, son.

Roscoe, dear, is that

young man all right?

Yes Hazel, he became quite ill.

He had to leave.

Well, perhaps he'll

feel better tomorrow.

I'm sure he will.

All right.

Mary Lawrence disappears.

No sign of foul play.

And a good kid.

And the Bowen kid, Nancy.

Disappears a few blocks from her home.

Somebody give her a ride?

Well according to Mrs. Hudson,

she declined a ride with her.

Now of course she could've

been picked up by a school chum

butnah, nah.

All her classmates were

at home at the time.

Ichecked.

Someone knew she was babysitting.

Waiting for her?

Or she was the victim

of opportunity.

Some guy comes cruising

along, late at night.

She's a girl, walking alone.

He's gotta be one sick bastard

to do what he did to that kid.

I'll tell ya something

else that's bothering me.

Yeah, what?

Mrs. Pavelock.

Blood splattered all over

the inside of her home.

Now we either have too many

acts on our hands,

or this guy's changed his pattern.

Excuse me.

Yeah, Chief Banes.

No, it's gotta be the same guy.

Because he's still taking

away the bodies.

Where are the bodies?

Could be he's branchin' out.

Just got a call from a gal

who's boyfriend

is missing since Wednesday.

College kid, name's Nick Leonard.
