Kill Switch

Happy birthday, Jacob!

I can't believe the twins are 10.

[children laugh and yell playfully]

Rock, paper, scissors.

Jacob stays.

One, two.

Wait up, Daniel, we want to hide with you.

Slow down.

It's cake time! Let's get the young ones in here.

[eery drone and children yelling]

Jacob! Jacob!

[eery drone and children yelling]

Daniel. Daniel, my baby!

My baby.

Jacob, call an ambulance.

[ongoing scream and slashing sound] Jacob!

[sudden beat and soft piano music]

[sirens and screech of brakes]

Where's the bomb squad?

It's coming!

Clear these people out of here!

Let's move. We've got less than 5 minutes.

Help me.

God, it hurts.

My name is Jacob. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna fix this.

I'm gonna talk to you, alright?

I promise you, we're gonna solve this right away. You hear me?

Somebody get me a fucking blanket up in here!

Looks like Billy Joe for sure. She's got a C4 sewn up on her chest.

It's not like him to leave her out in the open like this.

No, he's flipping the MO, man.

He's trying to fuck with our heads.

That's him.

Yeah.

And you know, he's up there watching us right now.

How's the view?

What the fuck are you doing in my place?

Mm-hm. The door was open and by the looks of the decor around here,

it don't look like it's your place.

Yeah, well granny just checked out.

The difference between you and me is, you love to prey the weak and innocent,

but I like to prey on sick people like you

[grunts, crashing and hard rock guitar notes]

Listen to me.

Which color wire do I cut?

The one that says "fuck you" on it.

Which wire, Billy?

Get up!

Come on.

Ready to talk? Huh?

Which wire, Billy? Which wire?

Get up.

You ready to talk to me?

Come on, white trash.

Ah! [sound of bones breaking]

Okay. Okay.

Alright. Our suspect is ready to cooperate.

I got it narrowed. Yellow or black?

Try pink, ass.

Yo Billy, we cut the yellow or the black?

Yellow or black?

Out the black one.

Out the yellow wire.

Cut the fucking yellow!

Ah.

We're clear.

All right, bitch. You're under arrest.

Get up against the wall and give me a hand.

fuck you!

Ah!

Hey, looks like he got the hiccups. Somebody get that guy a glass of water.

Hey. You gettin' any closer to cracking the Grifter's code?

Wilson? I don't know about that, man.

This guy's smart, but I'll get 'em.

You hear of the ODLU got that scumbag Billy Joe Hill on appeal?

Why does that not surprise me?

He's not gonna walk though now, is he?

If he does, he will kill again right quick. And that's the truth.

I know.

What are you doing here?

I missed you.

You must've been here a long time.

I was in your office earlier.

It's kind of creepy. What's with all these charts ?

I bet it's the Grifter case.

You got that right, darling, see,

in Homicide we sometimes have creepy guys,

we gotta work with and this particular guy is kinda creepy.

He's killed four people in five months.

You work too hard.

Well, you drink too much.

I have to work.

Happy birthday, Jacob.

One! Two!

[drone and children's laughter]

[screeching sound and distorted guitar notes]

Come on. Here I come.

Let go!

Hi, baby.

Looking for anything?

Oh!

Do you need help?

Could you?

Appreciate that. Very Christian of you.

I never figured these damn things out.

No problem. Been through this drill before.

Ah!

A moon is cloaked in blood. Amends must be made.

A time of great degeneration.

No one has ears to hear.

No one speaks the ultimate truth.

But I have heard the truth.

I've seen the peaks.

I've seen the valleys.

I've seen the land all around this world.

And I've seen the light.

I've seen it.

You shut your mouth!

Shut your dirty mouth.

Looks like the Grifter's at it again.

Night shift picked her up.

She wasn't just murdered. She was punished!

You find the cipher?

Yeah. Over here.

What else you got, Is?

Result of death, massive blunt force trauma.

In other words, she was beat to death.

There's oneinteresting thing about these cases.

He likes to take his time with some,

others like this poor girl, he makes it real quick.

You know what I was starting to think, Is?

It almost seems like he manipulates the time of death.

Like he's watching the clock or something.

Do me a favor. Pull up a time of death for each victim.

Junky, for sure.

Yeah, ain't they all?

No. Not all.

Just talked to the uniform who canvassed the area where she was found.

He name's Jessica.

Worked the curb some but mostly did alcohol from Mojo Blues.

Mm-hm.

Hello? Yes. sir.

What else, brother?

Hard to tell if there was a rape.

She was a hooker by trade. She's got a Cesarean scar.

She must've had at least one child.

She was headed down a way path, no matter how you look at it.

Yeah.

Hand me some cotton swab, brother. With some alcohol.

Look at that.

This is the astrological symbol for the full moon.

Our man is really trying to tell us something, ain't he now?

That's the Captain.

He's wants to sit down. He's starting to get a lot of heat from the press.

Yeah. I'm sure he is.

He's mostly playing good.

You look familiar. Cop, right?

Let me ask you something.

Do you know a girl called Jessica Trimble?

I've seen her. She worked this place for John's.

I never talked to her except to take drink orders.

If you never talked to her, how do you know her name?

I watch the news. I've seen you a bunch of times.

You're some hot shot, huh?

Yeah, baby. A hot shot.

Look, I need some help.

Them two, the taller one's Leon.

He pimped her.

Okay.

Listen, this Leon,

did you ever have sex with him?

And I'm not asking for the reasons you might think.

Yeah. He ain't that smart but he's all right in that department.

Hey, baby, what's happening?

Got people waiting out front?
