Officer: Wake up, Glimmer Twins. You've got a winner. This guy goes by the name of Victor. His real name is Theodore Allen. His prints were found at the scene by Homicide. He's got a long history of serious mental illness. His parents gave him a very strict Southern Baptist upbringing. But somewhere along the line they fell short. Victor dabbled in drugs, armed robbery and assault, spent some time in prison here a while back for the attempted rape of a minor. But his lawyer saw to it that didn't last long. His lawyer,by the way, is recently the deceased Eli Gould, the Greed murder victim.
Man: Yes sir.
Officer: We're finishing this thing up today ladies and gentlemen. Victor's been out of circulation for a while, but there's still a residence in his name.
Mills: You're not buying all this, are you?
Somerset: Doesn't seem like our guy, does it?
Mills: You tell me.
Somerset: Our killer seems to have more purpose.
Mills: You ever take a bullet?
Somerset: Never in my thirty-four years, knock wood. I've only taken my gun out three times with the intention of using it. Neverpulled the trigger. Not once. You?
Mills: Yeah, but. No, I never, never took, never took a bullet. but I pulled my gun once, shot it once.
Somerset: Really?
Mills: It was my first one of these. We were the Secondary unit. I was pretty shaky going in. I was a rookie then. Anyway we bust open the door looking for this junkie. And the fucker just opened fire on us. One cop got hit in the arm. Christ, what was his name? Spun him like a top. You know, I mean, more like slow motion. I remember riding in that ambulance. Well, he died right there. Right there. Christ, what was his fucking name?
