- Do you have any clues?
- I can't talk about it.
What's a hard-on, Daddy?
I heard Amanda say it, and she
won't tell me what it means.
Well, darling, it's...
It's, uh...
When a man is attracted
to a woman...
he, uh, likes her.
- Understand?
- No.
Well, he likes her
in a certain way.
Why?
Well, sweetheart, male bears
male bees like female bees...
and, uh, occasionally
they get together...
Dad...
forget it.
You recognize this?
- Why should I?
- You drew it.
- So what?
- Well, tell me about it.
Uh, Jamie Cory, she come here one day
saying this hot-tub guy beat her up.
She wanted a tattoo, so I did it.
Well, the hot-tub guy says she came
down here and you beat her up.
Do I look like the kind of guy
who'd do something like that?
Yeah.
You ever heard of a girl
named Melanie Silber?
Yeah, I like to beat her up too.
You know, everybody's
looking to get beat up.
- What's your name?
- Block.
You're hanging out with the
wrong kind of people, Block.
What kind would you
suggest I hang out with?
Someone who's more...
up your alley.
Maybe I'll take you
up on that sometime.
And do what?
Take you bowling?
I don't like bowling.
Neither do I.
Tequila.
- How you doing, Shorty?
- Hello.
- You know Jamie Cory?
- Sure, she wrestled here last night.
You know much about her?
Not as much as I'd have liked to.
Try the blond with
the big bazookas.
- Ice?
- What for?
You didn't mention you knew her.
You didn't ask.
Besides, I thought you came here...
to bowl.
with anyone last night?
- Yeah. There were a couple of guys.
- Who?
Customers. You know, guys
trying to hit on her.
She let any of them?
- No. She thought they were creeps.
If she liked someone, she
might've done something about it.
But by and large,
just one-night stands?
And you two knew each
other very well?
Well enough.
Did she ever mention anything about
anybody using handcuffs on her?
I think so. She liked
to get pretty kinky.
Remember who it might've been?
I think it was a cop.
Who knows? Maybe it was you.
- Can I help with anything?
- Uh-uh.
Dad, how come you have to
work so late every night?
Well, there's been
three murders, hon.
Couldn't you just
work during the day?
Some people I can
only see at night.
What kind of people?
People that don't have day jobs.
- Dad?
- Mm-hm?
Could you get hurt?
Tell me, Wes, how's things at home?
What do you mean?
I mean, I'm not sure yet you're
ready to run this task force.
Beryl Thibodeaux talked to the
mayor about you, and he called me.
He said if I don't come up with something
