Plot
Police chief Philip Bullock is seen speaking with Detectives Chad Jones and Michael Monroe. He places a photo on the table in front of him that shows a picture of a man getting into a car. Bullock pulls out the letter, which appears to be printed.
 * Bullock: This is the last known picture of the suspected mob boss and murderer Francis Smith. He was missing for three weeks before being found in the forest with six bullet wounds in his stomach. His skull had a message carved into it. Can you guess what it was?
 * Chad: "Gremlin was here."
 * Bullock: Exactly. And that means this is the fifth murder in the Gremlin case.
 * Michael: Five murders in two weeks? this guy works fast.
 * Bullock: And he's good. The most evidence we've found is an empty hairspray bottle with no fingerprints and this letter.
 * Chad: Yeah, we've all seen the letter, Chief Bullock. "I kill the criminals that you're too afraid to, catch me if you can pigs."
 * Michael: It's always a pig, isn't it? you're, like, a beaver or something. I know it's meant to offend but I think they could come up with a better insult.
 * Philip: Don't get off track, Michael.
 * Michael: Sorry Philip.
 * Chad: Chief, Michael. Call him chief.
 * Michael: Phillip can be whatever I want him to be.
 * Chad: He is the Chief. It’s offensive to not call him that.
 * Michael: Okay, okay, that's fine.
 * Philip: Do either of you have any leads at all?
 * Chad: We know as much as you do, Chief Bullock.
 * Michael: So nothing.
 * Philip: Jesus...
