All the latest BAIT magazines were also recently stolen, and some chemicals that when are mixed correctly develops a very deadly gas. All these thefts have one thing in common; visit cards with the word "PAGAN" left at the crime scenes. Solving these crimes, including why plenty of police vehicles have been stolen lately, involves the usual; to drink coffee at strip tease bars, rescue kidnapped virgins from drowning and lose their jobs.

had occurred.

These animals have it pretty good.

Simulated surroundings,

three squares a day.

If these creatures could talk, they'd

give the citizens a vote of thanks.

Friday, these animals...

were trapped, stunned and roped,

crated and shipped, dropped into cages.

You think they were in the wild

forming lines, jockeying for position...

saying, "Take me!

I want to live on damn cement"?

When I look in their eyes,

I get a different message.

We'll leave it at that.

Are you the police?

Friday, Streebek. Robbery.

You have some Pagan cards?

Yeah. Three of them.

Left in separate cages.

Let me show you where I found them.

This is Ben, our boa constrictor.

The missing giant anaconda was still

here last night at 8:30.

I know because that's when it gets

its final feeding.

It's not always its final feeding.

Sometimes it hides a little snack

for later.

Just the facts,

if you don't mind, ma'am.

What exactly does a Central Bolivian

Anaconda choose to feed on?

It eats whole, live groundhogs.

- You skip breakfast, Friday?

- Whoever stole it's gotta feed it.

We also seem to be missing

one of these.

What is the approximate dry weight

of the Madagascar Fruit Tree Bat?

You mean you don't know?

This is the one

I understand the least.

Somebody must've wanted that lion's mane

bad to pull a stunt like that.

Although, as Mohawks go,

it's not that bad. It'll grow back.

How do you tell that to kids who haven't

seen a lion and won't want to again?

Kids, it'll grow back.

Yea!

Arsonists posing as firemen

had left a Pagan card...

in the charred ruins

of a downtown warehouse.

We were advised to contact

the owner of the stolen merchandise...

soft-core porno lord, Jerry Caesar...

at his notorious pleasure compound

in the coveted Bel-Air section.

Oh, thank God! Vibrator repair?

No, ma'am.

Los Angeles Police Department.

Sorry.

It's enough to churn your guts,

isn't it?

This girl pruning this bush

with her...

That a slut peddler like Jerry Caesar

could build a modern day Gomorrah...

in the same city where they recorded

"We Are the World."

- Hi.

- Hi.

Don't get too friendly.

Hi. Can I help you?

Police officers, ma'am.

L.A.P.D. Robbery. I'm Friday. This is...

- April!

- That's right.

She was a Baitmate.

Bait magazine.

She was featured.

I get the hang of it.

In the April issue.

No, Mr Silly. February!

My name is April.

Don't tell me. Your favourite movies are

The Sound of Music and Yes, Giorgio.

You love to go bobbing for apples.

Your major turn-offs are...

anchovies, people

who don't use coasters and...

And men who smoke in public places.

Let's go meet Jerry.

There's Jerry over there.

I'm gonna have a place
