to the damned office.

You know, that attitude

is the reason we can't find

these girls' killers.

Everybody wants this to just go away.

Sweep it under the carpet.

Well, it's not going away.

It's not going away

'cause the killing isn't just gonna stop.

People kill each other.

All we are is animals

in a f***ing suit and a tie.

No difference.

And all of you detectives

need to think about

why you're on the force.

What about you, Spinelli?

Why are you here?

What's motivating you?

What motivates me?

Job stability?

Job stability. There it is.

It ain't about catching the bad guy

any more than it was

when my father was a cop.

It's about job stability.

We're all just trying to provide

for our families here.

- Every one of us, that's what...

- Yeah, yeah.

You know what, Joe?

Maybe you should have been a bricklayer,

'cause they get great f***ing benefits.

- Oh, get...

- Hey, hey, hey!

John. John.

Try that again,

I'm gonna make sure

you're cleaning convicts' cells

for the rest of your career.

You got me?

You got me, Joe?

# Just a moment, sir #

# A moment of your time #

# Been dreaming of you #

# Is that such a crime? #

# I know that I'm foolish #

# To look back on #

# A romance that ended slowly #

# But I can't forget her touch #

# Or that crazy smile

that meant so much #

# All I'm left with #

# Are wishes #

Hello?

Mark?

Is that you, honey?

I don't remember giving you a key.

Mark?

Honey?

Mark, this isn't funny.

Oh, my God!

- Stop! You're hurting me!

- Shh.

If you only make a sound,

I'm gonna tear out your tongue

and you will never speak again,

do you understand?

Good.

You know, I wasn't intending

on being so rough and all.

But seeing you is a fighter,

I'm going to have to make sure

you ain't capable of using those hands.

Ah!

Oh, you smell good.

Oh, please stop.

That was the wrong decision.

Oh, please!

I was going to make love to you.

If you only just behaved.

# 'Cause the only wish I have #

# Is you #

Winfield is calling it the seventh one.

The Strangler?

Well, it's got all the ear markings.

Matches the M.O.,

but on close inspection

there are some incongruities.

Really?

Like what?

John, she's strangled

with the stocking all right.

But that bow is not tied

like we'd expect.

It's a copycat.

The first five were killed

by the same guy.

Sophie Clark and this girl

were killed by jack-offs

who actually read the papers.

New Year's Eve.

At least we know the Strangler

doesn't take holidays off.

Well, technically,

it's not a holiday until tomorrow.

Technically, it is tomorrow.

Hold on. Who are you?

And how the hell did you get access

to my crime scene?

I'm Jana Fineman.
