No.

Hank

What about the wounds on his neck?

Well It could be vampires, or someone who wants to be a vampire. Or somebody who wants to get a lot of blood fast. These are about the size of an IV needle. My hope, it's an IV. Okay. So, how does a kid get stuck in the neck with an IV needle and end up in a river going over a waterfall?

I saw a lot of this sort of stuff in the late 80's. When the Satanic cults were all the rage. But not lately. Maybe they're making a comeback.

Hank

So, what killed him?

Oh, he drowned. But my guess is he drowned because he was incredibly weak from loss of blood.

Hank

So, was it an accident or a homicide?

Nobody puts IV needles in their neck by accident.

[Examining a body] White fluid in his nostrils and around the edge of his mouth would suggest drowning.

Well, he looks pretty pale, even for death.

Hank

Yeah, it could be the cold water.

Yeah, or this. [Finds two puncture wounds on the side of the neck]

Oh. Anybody believe in vampires?

Ha, ha.

Sean

These are human organs. Hearts, gall bladders, kidneys... this is unbelievable.

Why would you dry them out instead of selling them for transplant?

Some cultures use animal organs to make medicines and aphrodisiacs. Bear gall bladder, rhino horn...

Hank

So, what, if animal liver is good, a human one must be better?

Sean

Well, whichever way you look at it, it's still cannibalism.

Uh, I think it's pronounced "capitalism."

Looking at the tox report, the victim was found in a mummified state just like ours. You ever hear of latroinsectotoxin?

Yeah. Gargle with it every morning. What is it?

Hank

It's an amino acid found in spider venom. Why can't she just shoot these guys and keep it simple?

Some people don't like guns.

Hank

Some people don't like spiders either.

[watching surveillance footage] She's leaving.

Hank

He's leaving, too.

Could be he caught up with her on the street.

Hank

Maybe they had plans to meet up later.

And he didn't want to be seen leaving with her.

Hank

Or she didn't want to be seen leaving with him.

So who was seducing who?

Hank

[sighs] In my experience, the woman runs the relationship.

Why would these guys kill a shopkeeper for some herbs and spices that aren't even illegal? That just doesn't make any sense.

Hank

My mother made the best cookies on the block. She shared them with everyone and they *loved* her for it. [Hank just stares at him] All right, I'll go cookieless.
