- You want to bet me?

No.

Because once money is involved,

you take me seriously, right?

Hello.

Dr. Hill. Please come in.

Hey, Jed.

Andy just got through telling me

we're gonna be roommates.

Well, that's why I stopped by.

I just wanted to make sure

that it was really okay.

Yeah. Don't be silly.

I'm looking forward to it.

She is. She is really

looking forward to it.

Excellent.

The mid-term was at 8:30.

I set my alarm for 7:00

and it didn't go off.

I mean, if Professor Schmidt wants to give

me an incomplete, then I really don't care.

I can't control everything in this world.

My alarm didn't go off.

That's good. That's very good, Paula.

That's so much better than locking

your copy of Beowulf in your friend's car.

Thank You.

Yeah.

- Detective Harris wishes to see you.

- Really.

I'm amazed she could find the building.

We'll have to continue this next week

if you don't mind.

Fine.

Hang on, Paula.

Hi, Dana, go on in.

I'll be just a second.

Mrs. Worthington, I want you to note

all test and exam times for Ms. Paula Bell.

She's to receive wake up calls

from this office.

Wake up calls?

She can't be expected to

control the world, Mrs. Worthington.

Her alarm didn't go off.

I'll see you next week, Paula.

- Sorry.

- Jesus.

Was she able to

give any kind of description?

All she remembers is

her cat crouching under a chair

and an arm grabbing her from behind.

Is there any chance

she'll remember more?

I don't think so.

So...

- What do we do now?

- We?

"We" don't do anything, Andy.

Only one of us is a police detective.

Maybe not even that many.

Collegiate wit. Let me search my mind

for a clever comeback.

How about "bite me"?

Touch.

We have ordered more

"Security Precautions" pamphlets.

- More pamphlets?

- That's right.

Do you know what I see

when I come to work every morning?

I see fathers loading steamer trunks,

suitcases, fichus plants

and daughters into station wagons.

Presumably to drive them off to school

so that they don't pose

quite as high a death threat.

See, I don't think I'm being

unreasonable when I ask

what you and your

crack-team of professionals are doing

other than distributing literature

to repress this situation.

I need a list of anyone who had access

to the students' schedules.

Both victims were out of class

when our guy got in.

So you have narrowed it down

to a couple of thousand people.

A list, Andy. I need it, now.

Dana.

- What do you think he does with the hair?

- The hair?

Yeah, he cuts off all their hair.

What do you think he does with it?

He makes pillows. Who knows?

Billy, I want you in bed by 10:00,

you hear me?

You scared the sh*t out of me.
