I won't be needing those. Just privacy.

Thank you.

This is Miss Sally Harrison.

Or what's left of her.

Her body was found

at approximately 3:15 a.m. last night

on the 8400 block of Sunset and Olive.

She was 23 years old, 5'3 " tall,

Caucasian and a prostitute.

Thirty-nine separate knife wounds.

No witnesses,

no obvious suspects,

no motive.

Other than this bastard

is clearly copying Rodriguez's MO.

Okay. That's it.

Who are they?

Smith, LAPD.

And he brought the Feds.

They'll be all over us on this

after Chandler smoked them on Rodriguez.

- What are you doing?

- I told you not to disturb me.

I just thought you might like some tea.

I'm sorry. Just leave it there, please.

- What's wrong with them?

- They were all staring at me.

Following me.

Everywhere. It's a little unnerving.

- Oh, well, I'll have Joe come and take...

- No!

Please, we've already talked about this.

I don't want anyone else coming in here.

Ever.

- I'll bring them out.

- Well,

- do you need anything else?

- Just a little rest, I'm afraid.

Oh, and if you could pick up some things

for me at the market?

- That's way too much.

- Keep it, please.

Whatever you think, bread, cereal,

I'm not too particular.

Thank you.

About food.

I couldn't see his face.

It was raining, and he was running away.

He was wearing one of those long coats,

like Neo.

- What was the color of the coat?

- Purple, d*ckhead!

Have Jim come in here for a sketch.

We need height and build,

male with a long, dark coat.

- When Jim's done, let him go.

- Let him go?

Get anything else out of him, keep him.

Right.

- What...

- F*** off! Can I go now, man?

This is really wonderful, honey.

I got it at the deli after class

about an hour ago.

Still good.

You put her there.

- Amanda, please don't say that.

- Ask her doctors.

You were obsessive

and relentlessly controlling.

Nothing she did was

ever good enough for you.

- You know, she told me even in bed...

- Stop it!

Honey, I know I could have

done things differently, but this is...

- There's more to this...

- You're to blame for this.

Amanda, that's not true.

I have a really early class tomorrow, so...

- Okay, I'll call you later.

- Bye.

What happened to the sign?

- I rented it.

- You rented it?

- He's already moved in.

- What?

A man. Malcolm something.

He's already given us

three months in advance.

And I didn't even have to lower the rate

because I could tell he really wanted it.

- I did include breakfast.

- That's from your family.

No, it isn't.

He's been busy back there

taking down all your mother's prints.

But don't... Don't go in there.

He only wants me to go back there.
