Uh-huh.

Now, why do you think

he uses handcuffs?

Control?

Do you use them very often?

Well, that depends.

On what?

The situation.

When you feel you are threatened?

Yeah, you could say that.

With these, no one

can get to you, huh?

They'll stop just about anyone.

From Jamie Cory's clothing.

We traced the serial numbers.

It is...

It's payroll money Louisiana

Bank sent to 2401 Tulane Avenue.

Even if the killer saw her earlier,

who's to say he gave her the money?

- It could've been some drunk.

- Uh-uh.

Luther said he found minute glass fragments

on them just like the fragments on the doll.

He also found a barley residue he says

resembles the smudge marks on the carpet.

- Barley?

- Mm-hm.

- What's at 2401 Tulane?

- Dixie Brewery.

- How many employees?

- Almost 1000.

- All of them have medical files?

- Sure.

Well, start checking the blood type O's,

and then we'll work our way from there.

Isn't it possible she could have

got them from someone else?

No.

Amanda's kitchen.

- Hi. What's doing?

- Dinner.

Sorry I won't be there.

I've gotta work late.

You save some for me.

There'll be plenty. Don't worry.

Tell Mrs. Holstein to lock up. You

look after your sister, will you?

Gotcha, Dad.

Bye.

You'd like another car

to check on them?

Yeah.

Ruth?

Mrs. Holstein?

Mrs. Holstein?

- Penny.

- Daddy.

Wake up.

I want you to get in the closet. Don't

come out until your dad says so, okay?

Stay right there.

Daddy.

It's all right.

She's ready, Wes.

We checked everywhere.

No sign of him.

- Joe?

- Yeah.

- Was she...?

- No, no, no.

Squad 15, how do you read?

Squad 15. You're loud and clear.

Car 32, 17-50.

You...

I'll get you, motherf***er.

Then I'm gonna break

your motherfucking head!

We talked a bit.

She felt better.

She'll be able to rest now.

It wasn't your fault.

No one could have

known what he'd do.

No one but me.

There are 255 male Caucasians

with blood type O at Dixie.

Uh-huh.

Fifty of them were working the

night shift during the murders.

Check and see if any of

the others have records.

And check the hair colors

of those samples...

that we've got, would you? And

the dental records along with...

- Ask their personnel about a Leander Rolfe.

- Leander Rolfe?

How is she today?

Better.

- Penny would like to spend the night.

- That's all right.

You wait out here, sweetie.

My mother used to wear this.

Maybe you'd like to wear it too.

Telephone.

- Yeah?

- Bingo.

Leander Rolfe just finished doing

11 years at Angola State Prison...

- for going nuts one night...

- And raping two teenagers.

You remember him?

Yeah. He was a cop.

You knew him?

I arrested him.

He just left Dixie

Brewery a half-hour ago.

- What room is he in?

- 316.

Let's go.

You try in there.

I'm gonna tell you right now, I

could've just blown my stack.

How long has it been?

About an hour.

Do you think he saw us?

I don't know. Maybe.

Jake?

I just called and no one answers.

Well, she's in there,

and so is Restic.

Vic, anything?

Vic?

Jake, Vic's not answering.

Jake?

Jake?

I'm okay.

Get inside, will you, Joe?

You all right, Wes?
