Shepard and Powell arrive on the scene of The Victim's death and Powell tells Shepard he is looking for The Victim's head. Shepard thinks maybe a piece of glass cut it off, but Powell tells him there aren't any broken windows. The police, including Officer Banyon, arrive at a hotel room with a skinned body and Lt. Murray tells the bellhop to leave and then tells Powell the victim told the bellhop he was going to visit a museum. Det. Clifford says the victim was cut up in six hours. Powell shows Shepard the body of a second victim, which has washed up on shore. The Commissioner has a meeting with Capt. Fletcher, Shepard and Powell about the case. Powell questions Jimmy Quinn and tells him First Robber and Second Robber turned evidence against him, Doyle and Webb. Jimmy tells Powell he will give a statement if he puts him in a quieter room. Capt. Fletcher calls over Powell and Shepard and tells them witnesses saw Quetzalcoatl snatch a man from a pool. Shepard shows Capt. Fletcher his report and tells Capt. Fletcher and Powell he thinks Quetzalcoatl is related to the ritual murder case. At a meeting between Shepard, Powell, Det. Clifford, Capt. Fletcher, the Commissioner, Lt. Murray and Jimmy, Det. Clifford says there was another sighting of Quetzalcoatl. In order to prove he isn't lying, Jimmy tells them about the bracelet he found on the corpse of Sunbather. He tells them about the nest and tells them his terms to cooperate. Powell and Jimmy start to argue and Jimmy accuses a cop like Powell of framing him with drugs during his first arrest. Officer Banyon calls Lt. Murray and tells him he saw Kahsa with another potential victim. Powell, Lt. Murray, Det. Clifford and Officer Banyon follow Kahsa and his Victim. They walk towards Kahsa and the potential victim and the potential victim lunges at Lt. Murray who shoots him. Kahsa escapes and Powell is killed by Quetzalcoatl.
