in this yard, and it's disgusting.

We're not casually talking about the lady.

We're trying to figure out who did this.

- Sir, I have a theory.

- You do? What do you got?

Suicide.

- That's it?

- That's it.

- I deduce that that's stupid.

- Hey, easy. We're all trying here.

Sorry, Detective Burt Jerpis, sir.

I know, Jerpis. Go ahead.

What do you got?

This is a drive-by, plain and simple.

- How do you get that?

- I'll show you, sir.

Our victim was out for a walk.

A leisurely, late night walk.

Along comes our perp,

driving a late '90s Honda Accord,

purple...

That's my gut feeling.

Then this punk...

and that's what he is,

takes out a gun, shoots our victim.

What's on the gun?

A silencer. Why is there a silencer?

To keep things quiet.

Then, to cover his tracks...

he chops the body up into these pieces

and arranges them

into this religious symbol.

- Case closed.

- No, not case closed.

We don't have a bullet wound,

and we don't have a killer.

Oh...

- That's why you're the boss.

- All right, who's the king of the castle?

The house belongs to Talbert Bacorn.

- The actor?

- Yeah, yeah. I'd bend him over.

Uh, and then what?

What do you mean? I'd just bend him over.

Eat a little popcorn out his ass.

- Okay, I'll do the interview with Bacorn.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Okay. What about me?

- You take care of that.

Ah.

Guys, on the right is the home

of Talbert Bacorn,

the star of Rainbow Squad.

- Do what you gotta do.

- Done.

I'm... I'm freaking out!

Of course you're freaking out.

There's a crime scene in your front yard.

Okay. Do you think

someone is... is threatening me?

Do you think they're trying

to send me a message?

What do you think that message is?

- Do you think PETA is trying to ambush me?

- PETA?

I wore suede pants

at my premire.

Well, I don't think

that's really their style.

Why don't you just sit down and breathe?

Do breathing exercises?

No, not formally.

Just sit down, kick back, breathe.

All right, let's go. Keep it moving.

There's nothing to see here.

They want to know if that's

a decapitated body on Mr. Talbert's lawn.

No.

She thinks we're stupid

because we don't speak English.

Why would she assume

we don't speak English?

Because we're a bus full of tourists

from Japan who don't speak English.

Is the body arranged carefully

in the shape of a Star of David?

Is the body carefully

arranged in the shape of a Star of David?

Unequivocally no.

What's a Star of David?

It's a symbol for Judaism.

Rabbi?

The Magen David is said to symbolize

the shape of King David's shield,

but there is really no support for that

claim in any early rabbinic literature.

In my opinion.
