Hellraiser: Judgment Page #2

---

Why are you here?

Who thinks we need help with this?

Like I was saying, isn't this just

a bit basic for the Preceptor?

I mean, I was under the impression

that he liked to shock, appall, teach.

And that?

"I am a jealous God.

Thou shalt have no others unto me"?

It's one of the remaining commandments,

and it's part of his MO.

I think that it's just a stunt.

- What was that?

- Jesus Christ!

What the f*** is that?

Has anyone seen the dog in the video?

F***!

It's okay.

It's okay.

Baby.

The dog was her baby.

So he put it into her womb.

I'll call it in.

Alison's birthday. Sh*t!

Nice.

It's uh, very 1940s detective agency.

Do we still smoke stogies

and have scotch for breakfast?

What we're investigating is very dark.

Fluorescents give me a migraine.

Look, I know that me coming here

must be a bit of a shock.

Detective teams are tight-knit at

the best of times, but I do know this job.

So, I can help if you let me.

I've gotta go.

It's my wife's birthday and I'm late.

We'll do this tomorrow.

9 a.m.

Uh-huh.

He takes it personal.

Well, he shouldn't. I was assigned.

Not you.

The killings.

That won't last in here.

Plastic.

Thrives in all climates.

Happy birthday to me.

I'll take care of that.

I don't even like carnations.

I'm going to bed.

The previous commandment prior to Lanning was

"Thou shall not lie."

This is a Catholic family.

Jessica and Steven were both lawyers.

The Preceptor cut out both of their

tongues with an electric turkey knife.

Let them bleed out in front

of their own son, Michael.

What did he do with the tongues?

He put them in a blender and force-fed them

to the son, laced with bleach, of course.

Donut?

Now why would he feed the tongues to the son?

He said they were feeding lies to

everyone, so he fed their lies to their son.

How do you guys know all this?

He's quite the letter writer.

We have copies obviously.

- I'll get you some.

- Speaking of which...

this came from the ME's office this morning.

Got it out of Lanning's abdomen.

"The irony of this killing is that

when people see what I've done,

"their reaction will be, 'Oh, poor dog, '

"with no consideration for the vacuous

vessel in which I chose to store it."

- Nice.

- Forensics has been over the letters?

Local and Langley. Came out with nothing.

Letter was typed on an old

manual typewriter. Common ink.

No prints, oils, residue,

glue, particulates. Nothin'.

The name Preceptor. That's a Masonic term.

Has that avenue been checked out?

It's used by Freemasons,

but it's older than that.

A precept is a teacher responsible

to uphold law or tradition.

In this case, the Ten Commandments.

- Shall I?

- Just one second.
