Wicked Season

Oh god I just...

I... I just miss you so much.

Beth, are you really going home?

Yeah, I'm out.

Oh boo!

If you move, you die.

Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.

I was just joking.

- Just kidding, just kidding. - What the hell is wrong with you?

It's not real. It's not real.

Way to go, Charlie, give a girl a heart attack why don't you?

Yeah that seals it for me.

Beth, he didn't mean to scare you.

I'm sorry, guys, I'm done for the night.

Come on, Red.

It was a joke!

Beth!

First and Monroe.

Bet you're having a crazy night, huh?

Excuse me, what way are you taking?

Sir?

I think you're going the wrong way.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Pull over the car.

Hey, asshole! Pull over!

I want to get out of the car!

Stop!

Stop the fucking car!

Oh what the fuck?!

Oh my God!

No! No! No!

Someone help!

Help me!

No!

Please!

Help me!

Leave!

No!

Go away no!

No please!

I run by here every day.

And I have never seen anything weird.

But, I mean, this is so sick.

You won't see this stuff in the horror movies.

There was no one here.

It was just the body when I got here.

I was really hoping Turner was wrong with his copycat theory.

Crucifixion. Disembowelment.

Ten year anniversary of the scarecrow killings.

I'd say he was dead on.

Hey, Christine!

You might want to come take a look at this.

Yeah, that's a good bit.

The victim's?

No, I don't think so.

My guess?

Someone leaving the scene.

Maybe we'll catch a break.

A break soon would be nice.

Oh, God.

Please tell me you got something.

Blood. Looks like a passive trail.

Leads away. I...

I don't think it's the victims.

Maybe the suspect's.

Yeah or another victim.

Jesus, how do you crucify and disembowel

four women

in a crowded city

and not a single witness?

I mean, how's that possible?

Shit, we don't even know who this one is!

We checked with dispatch again.

No active missing persons

or want-to-locates.

Crime scene went completely unseen

until a jogger found her this morning.

Techs figured

yesterday evening on this.

Did you go talk to Sergeant Hughes?

No luck.

No answering machine.

Tried him a few times actually.

A few times?

Just not enough time in the day.

You got to make the time.

We are way behind here.

Alright, I'll tell you what.

Finish up here.

Catch your breath.

Clear your heads.

Then try again.

Think you can reach out to ol' Manhunt for us?

Let him know we're coming?

Yeah I'll pin him down.

Do you think he can help?

He's the one that caught

the asshole that started this M.O.

Maybe he can see something we missed.

Hello?

Sergeant Hughes?

Yeah.

Come on in.

Work... You piece of shit!

Um Sergeant we are...

Vega and Miller.

Yes sir that's right.

We were hoping to talk to you Sarge about the scarecrow killings.

Turner was hoping you could take a look at what we have.

Maybe give us a different perspective.

Looks to be the same M.O.

I talked to Will

and we both agreed it's a copycat.

And that you're going to have a long Halloween night.

Well that's why we're here.

We don't have one solid lead.

We were hoping you could give us your take on it

as an insider.

Well there lies your problem.

You got a pen?

You see everything that wasn't

public knowledge

Your guy is missing.

What is that?

Symbol.

It was on all the crosses.

Definitive clues.

But your guy?

I don't see anything that matches Crow.

Alton

Crow.

We uh

Got him as he was driving off from the last crime scene.

Pulled right over and surrendered

Never said a word.

Just...

stared.

Smiled.

Covered in her blood.

Yes hello captain.

Northwest just took a report on a missing female.

Not seen since a costume party last night.

Might have gotten in a cab.

Uniforms are on it.

Like I said...

busy night.

So that's it?

What else do you want from me?

Please come with us.

Look

I know where you're at with this.

I really do.

I've been there...

too many times.

And that is exactly

why I can't

give you anything more.

You want to learn about Crow?

Take a drive out to the asylum where they sent him

where he died.

Maybe learn something from his stay.

Sure you don't want to shake the rust off and go with?

I mean you got to at least be curious about what's going on.

No I'm good.

That was sad.

"Manhunt" Mike Hughes.

I guess it's just another dead end.

Before you judge him too quickly

he lost his daughter while chasing after Crow.

Maybe half of who he was

or what he was went with her.

I didn't know.

I couldn't imagine losing Mark.

They asked for volunteers at the department

when Hughes couldn't be with her.

I signed up for one of my days off each week.

What you knew her?

Why didn't you bring it up?

You know I was in the academy

when my dad was going through his struggle with cancer.

I couldn't be with him as much as I wanted to.

Did Hughes know?

I doubt it.

Besides I didn't do it for him.

I did it for her.

Ain't gonna bite.

I'm not so sure.

Two high speed low drag homicide detectives coming in to what?

Seek for wisdom?

They were here for the coffee.

That's bullshit.

Yeah how so?

Because your coffee sucks bro.

Then why are you here Rodney?

That's simple.

I got horrible taste.

What's it been, Mike?

You've known me 15 years, right?

Give or take.
