911, what's your emergency?
23fd461e-012b-4264-ae56-a8652440978f.gif
#3
I'm in an alley and there's, um... I'm not really sure.
a1d1ca7d-6b16-4107-bcc3-e7284b39e69f.gif
#4
Sir. Sir, what's in the alley?
56178701-51b0-4c71-94c7-04e275e2a87b.gif
#5
Dead. Definitely dead.
3ba6f2e9-303b-496b-a9cd-62a9f5f082db.gif
#7
Sir, if it's a cat, you need to call animal control.
b19834dd-cb45-4576-acb2-d5525e1586f8.gif
#8
No, no, no, it's not a cat, it's not a cat, it's a woman.
fb3a3d4e-d79d-4909-9a2e-e329ed61a1bb.gif
#9
But also a cat. It's a cat-woman.
7d119563-e0fc-44e0-a8c3-f43a656bd98e.gif
#10
Sir, I do not have time for pranks.
c72d2cbd-5037-4c94-bab7-8ae21654bdc7.gif
#11
No, it's not a prank.
d63d4699-6b2a-4928-b6a8-64dfa14a3c2a.gif
#12
Then is it a cat or a woman, sir?
115e88f2-fde9-49d8-ab04-bc5868e9f1c0.gif
#13
Both! It's both. Whatever it is, it's neck is broken.
4c9249b8-85aa-4b7a-8f37-98dafc8c8094.gif
#14
It's dead!
5020a188-a60a-4a7a-8125-ef265a4ff2a1.gif
#15
All right. Uh, let's get started.
2b658caf-4630-4cb4-ad94-95ba1c1592f0.gif
#16
What do you guys wanna know?
52e1f774-b2ec-4bfa-8c47-4d7fdbbdcc94.gif
#17
The circumstances surrounding the death
425bc0e0-d04b-4da1-b06f-061f912d5b83.gif
#18
of the woman born Maureen Ponderosa
a75217ce-ce06-4d54-bd08-3b43eb065bec.gif
#19
captivated South Philadelphia.
3c050c6d-419d-4d42-b17e-9fb52421b5b4.gif
#20
She was discovered in an alley with a broken neck.
1556e976-b567-4a2a-a032-32fc46fe3061.gif
#22
her transition to a cat.
5d084b06-2880-4841-970a-b463bfc8854b.gif
#23
And in her cat form, she went by the name Bastet
461dcdcd-bd91-42b5-a5f6-3ec7a97b8ce3.gif
#25
The story quickly became fodder for local media.
fd07f61f-6225-40cf-8e42-761e7ea28b68.gif
#26
So much for having nine lives.
ece51e55-84e4-40af-bd83-620110cc4693.gif
#27
This cat did not land on her feet.
1f999cc0-336a-4c03-8826-7333080d9f69.gif
#28
She landed on her neck.
f2fda645-5550-4490-8fd6-1fb75fbfc0b4.gif
#29
Authorities soon focused
36e65425-0bc5-4caa-9e28-939d5f5c3a61.gif
#30
on the suspicious nature of her death.
231c8494-5f81-4688-a4b2-a894b9e750e4.gif
#32
I've been with the Philadelphia Police Department for 24 years,
29c8cd1e-f2c1-4d65-b489-5145dec52791.gif
#33
12 of which were with the Homicide division.
09a7f792-a9ee-4f15-8c01-25606474285e.gif
#34
I've seen a lot of things.
fecb2391-9628-4b3e-b8d8-bc49ec472f66.gif
#36
Okay. Who am I to judge?
66f0b141-36d2-42d7-8f19-4ae468849c50.gif
#37
But, really, a cat?
473b8a0a-e870-43d3-ba5f-fcc0254fe8ba.gif
#38
What's next? A watermelon?
cfb10774-a5d4-4b21-a56e-859d12fb5338.gif
#39
First thing we wanted to establish is
243118da-a6c9-408f-8ba1-184cf5d19b06.gif
#40
to whether the deceased was acting strange.
313b2e9c-a285-4a98-9f96-f9553cbb5d4d.gif
#42
More like suicide strange.
68090591-9582-4b14-8713-3059290bc227.gif
#45
That's where they add more nipples.
e1d1e85d-ddbc-4432-ad53-d6913a2da5ec.gif
#46
I guess--
ef2a5ffe-b347-4685-942f-efa0c954b7b6.gif
#47
I don't know-- she wanted more nipples.
c553d22f-599a-4c2e-a6c0-47782e4280b5.gif
#48
The thought of that just makes me want to blow my lunch.
d850d5cc-5aa9-490a-afb3-632d6394c6ed.gif
#49
Now, apparently, the ex-husband was on the hook
b15cac65-1189-465f-9229-7e4afc642aeb.gif
#51
He wasn't happy about it.
56342b4a-e424-4cd6-9b0e-0dc7a8f148c3.gif
#53
Was I irritated by this?
52e786c3-1945-42ad-9a86-f23375074b76.gif
#54
Yeah, of course I was.
7f437096-fc8f-4028-8f19-380b32c0aae8.gif
#56
You know, but I-I remained supportive
cc7a27a2-f006-40b8-bb8e-b098bb752d78.gif
#57
and, uh, kept my cool.
ad4e1611-2398-429c-94cb-7d5ff1f4d52a.gif
#59
No, no, no, no, if you want to get more nipples,
320d9784-e192-4a08-b814-c09b75165c78.gif
#60
please get more nipples.
95b3e70c-c4ec-44cc-8589-e214d7af4778.gif
#61
Get 1,000 nipples. The more nipples, the better, Maureen.
dc79563a-bd4a-4d76-83bb-497eb2cccb17.gif
#62
And you know what? While we're at it, I'm gonna turn myself into a dog.
5a40b2fa-b39e-4361-8741-6c576a45e0f9.gif
#63
With 1,000 teeth.
0a7bf0a7-4723-4ed6-98af-c244ab7c7c79.gif
#64
Oh, does that make you nervous?
9a1dd819-b4af-4c0a-8abf-69a3c90e1e97.gif
#65
I find that offensive, 'cause a dog is who I am now.
6f14da68-f843-44ec-9796-d71b6eb5a811.gif
#66
Now, due to the nature of this call,
9b1b9f93-f208-4ada-b6f3-eb798f3e8776.gif
#67
we decided to bring him in for questioning.
54526ff7-c37b-4a95-9fa1-1ef4807ade04.gif
#68
And he cooperated.
2ed2c326-8e94-497b-a118-fddd96d00227.gif
#69
Said he wanted to clear his name.
20af02a7-524c-4665-adee-e18f07bafb32.gif
#70
All right, why don't you tell me where you were that night?
2d9f78c5-26a1-4370-ae06-6397ff8f1e57.gif
#73
and then went over to the bar for a couple of drinks.
5eaecc84-22a6-421c-b978-a3e2f0083e4a.gif
#74
He answered every question.
5f03a56b-802d-47b0-8e05-ddf9afc45568.gif
#75
Even offered DNA samples.
4916cb45-8bc3-4de8-86cd-fc1a4ee6620e.gif
#76
Although he did request to draw his own blood,
8340ee17-c1b2-4eb5-b952-95886acbede0.gif
#77
which is kind of strange.
249fc72a-b00d-4541-a35a-511d197ce539.gif
#78
Okay. Thank you, Mr. Reynolds. I'll be right back.
2580ad66-9adb-4656-afe0-ab30c0060a09.gif
#79
Yeah, sure no problem. Oh, actually, Detective, you know what,
2ebc2835-c4bb-4073-9883-0e01021e0dc8.gif
#81
If you're a coffee guy,
0b1a4dc1-a898-4e41-a911-f2b1b6d039f3.gif
#82
there's a great place just opened up on 2nd Street
7f60a9fd-e5ca-484c-8069-36bdd3e22436.gif
#84
Mr. Reynolds was forthright.
cd86f071-97e8-4740-bb3b-0a16586e8b17.gif
#86
Get me one, too, if you go over there.
87cbc906-1919-4839-9037-a8e5608e3ad6.gif
#87
Thanks.
d2035598-84e8-4bfc-8f91-d01b563cae3e.gif
#88
It wasn't until I reviewed
0568dd64-87de-43b0-a1bd-525bbb99c240.gif
#90
Something very unsettling.
44f6a8f8-b069-4f64-aaa1-7f325257de2e.gif
#91
24 years on the job,
1700a22f-fe32-47b6-a7f9-15e8342e5754.gif
#92
I'd never seen anything like it.
dc6c9e45-7eb2-4c4d-b4f2-6a9e37216b80.gif
#94
Never moved.
5beea7ae-0d3a-407c-bbd7-b7c1daa82a1f.gif
#95
Never blinked.
0679ddea-a6a8-466f-ad69-b96e495f7637.gif
#96
Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
efb0abab-d297-4e79-aca7-fb38c12c370e.gif
#98
but my gut told me this guy was guilty.
8e4a2f38-e8f6-488f-af63-ae56878fe290.gif
#99
Of something.
78cbfaa7-444d-47f9-8071-eadfd7957ce0.gif
#103
Maureen?
26866d67-4871-40ed-afa0-e143be15455d.gif
#105
Dennis killed Bastet, all right?
af7ad717-f334-4ee2-b5b5-cff13b339d4d.gif
#474
and she would knock an extra 15 bucks off a month,
1a070cb1-bc07-4ea0-a4af-4effb1545358.gif
#475
so of course, I'm gonna let her do it.
686cd176-f329-4b5c-8567-ba7ada9ada96.gif
#476
Look, is getting groomed like a cat by your ex weird?
a2785421-311c-415b-b429-ba05b9939a31.gif
#477
Yep.
bed5c34d-b871-42ef-bc2d-5d4fdb545048.gif
#478
Is it illegal?
479e050e-be14-4126-ae62-05cd8e1b0c82.gif
#479
I wish.
56378c5f-b0d2-4532-a77e-f79e4db20b5b.gif
#480
The investigation was at a crossroads.
23ba26f9-06d4-4dc0-a7cd-3c35517cd042.gif
#481
Then another massive break.
24b3d66c-2c4a-43b2-9725-593b62a60659.gif
#482
Dennis has an answer for everything.
fac5d8ee-9845-430e-a5e8-44cf0ffe2dbd.gif
#483
Well, answer me this:
9c18dae2-a81b-4aa1-ac84-48903a71f8e1.gif
#484
Where's the collar?
5dabeb1d-0194-4ef2-891e-59bf302cba49.gif
#485
Cats have collars.
993cfc45-dc38-4fbb-b6d3-49f42347d522.gif
#486
Maureen's body
90c8f05b-92f7-4f9e-831d-b40998142fc0.gif
#487
didn't have a collar on it.
f56d613e-2c6b-4e9f-9767-a2c058c5f62d.gif
#488
Killers keep trophies.
30a2bf05-c985-496b-99c9-bcf687eece83.gif
#489
Alls I'm saying,
41b63510-1a6f-4ecf-9e21-a45553e89949.gif
#490
find the collar, find the killer.
fd3601fd-86fb-4d8a-a297-a4c2dae3c57f.gif
#491
This is not the first time the collar came up.
80c0989a-86e4-4a48-b48f-1efba41f55d6.gif
#492
Dee Reynolds had, oddly,
f80890b5-55f9-4227-898d-57ddce131a5c.gif
#493
made the collar an issue during filming.
ff6e71a5-28e1-44ef-b92f-1e61d743930c.gif
#494
Hey. Stop!
4304e362-2d47-421a-a6cf-775acc7e42e4.gif
#495
Stop! Stop with the squirting! Stop! Cool it!
2f0727a2-ab3c-4bb4-911b-df6a91771e4e.gif
#496
We said one spray and then my line.
611387ce-762a-479b-a6c8-a4a8eb4e42ea.gif
#497
I... It was in my contract that we talked...
250a48dd-2e4f-44cf-851b-f690c40458ca.gif
#498
I put one squirt in there for... on purpose.
f7113f5a-200b-4f20-9cae-3dd2af75ac48.gif
#499
And this collar! I... Th-There's something wrong
9e7d59c8-b3fb-4e48-8d6d-a448bc0f3ffc.gif
#500
with the collar. It's driving me nuts.
bab7f8b7-6bd4-4e0e-b7a3-57d04681ebee.gif
#501
It... is an actual flea collar?
9ba8adae-0d2a-49a9-bced-038dbb506b4b.gif
#502
You son of a bitch.
8ede1c63-8990-49bd-aefa-0086d5f4a97a.gif
#503
I-I really think the water activated
33893e21-ad0b-4584-a87c-9eb3f811cc8f.gif
#504
some kind of, like, chemical agent. My-my neck's burning.
26a0eeb4-510d-4614-a592-08429e512acc.gif
#505
Was the flea collar actually burning her,
a829ed1b-520b-4fe8-8e11-da948774b7d0.gif
#506
as she claimed?
daa16f56-a8fd-44c7-af21-fae25515a038.gif
#507
Are you serious?
d3044c21-4ac1-49cc-af25-cc0a8b3ce4f2.gif
#508
Yes, asshole! It was burning my skin!
8bb1a929-dfeb-4dcb-9ccb-4bfd3f3003c0.gif
#509
You want to zoom in on this?!
33b7304d-560d-4d3a-a077-d1b9770a50cf.gif
#510
Hard to say.
2c0c5f84-41ec-451a-aacf-a2a7f50e849a.gif
#511
But maybe there was another reason she removed it.
76f3d1a5-7dcb-472c-8c22-570925f7d91c.gif
#512
Whatever Deandra says is BS.
9e506c61-97f3-4820-a219-b092f05d8ea8.gif
#513
She's probably just covering for him because she's afraid
adc0b244-d294-4661-86f9-192bbe1ba1af.gif
#514
he's gonna snap her neck like that crow.
17ef4f45-765b-4d03-8da4-61bed05d11e3.gif
#515
Maybe Deandra didn't want to wear the collar
2fb7d68d-f68e-4fc6-b874-afd723e2563c.gif
#516
in order to cover for her brother
e18822b5-c94c-4c84-a9b9-15708441110c.gif
#517
and to establish that Maureen never wore a collar at all.
7232d3be-a8e2-42bd-a805-11c98c333e76.gif
#518
We then discovered something in this piece of footage
0aa6b6a8-d74a-4f2c-995d-23311ddb64c0.gif
#519
that blew the doors wide open on this case.
2a58eaad-7c8b-4cfc-845c-de6c090aa69f.gif
#520
Was I a person of interest?
b506fc8d-2222-40eb-8470-88eb1f6b7dd2.gif
#521
Yeah.
48004842-bda4-48a8-8e17-8d0ffd410d74.gif
#522
I am an interesting person.
5095df55-9d1b-4dfa-8d87-e06819b176be.gif
#523
But at the end of the day, you know,
eebf8289-2fd6-4aa5-b747-37e96fd443b6.gif
#524
I'm just some guy with a crazy ex-wife
587a01a8-f7eb-47a0-835f-05b0f877eebb.gif
#525
who fell off of a roof pretending to be a cat.
0e049afd-6796-486c-9876-0dfa08b32d63.gif
#526
That's the end of it.
f052e606-8bcf-4ca9-b93c-6e276bbd8460.gif
#527
All my stories checked out.
07459759-ab60-469d-87cc-be3392a9539e.gif
#528
I was cleared. Case closed.
863ff1b6-9233-4e99-b071-995c919cbf5b.gif
#529
Find the collar, find the killer.
13517542-8175-42c9-a780-96329c328cea.gif
#530
Find the collar, find the killer.
b439657f-4a31-461d-a60e-f17591eea092.gif
#531
...'cause a dog is who I am now!
5a91eb29-9ad3-40f5-9223-c0cb7ffe7629.gif
#532
...hit the referee!
50e4c2ca-8e16-4200-a82c-51a95d5c9233.gif
#533
Find the collar...
c02635a1-5708-4fb0-9c5f-aa182af63746.gif
#534
"Very nice."
973870c3-f0ac-4930-9f0e-8c1306a915bc.gif
#535
Find the collar, find the killer.
6c73ed1f-01d0-4956-be0a-4b9e88314c9a.gif
#536
As of 2017, Dennis Reynolds is still at large,
310092bf-aa83-4060-92b7-644113d8e0ad.gif
#537
lurking the streets of Philadelphia.
9e942c76-22a8-4f29-bc1a-ef8c49d1b4d4.gif
#538
Guys, this was an open-and-shut case that was shut months ago.
e6f1d221-7207-48c4-8e5d-dd5671c8ac5a.gif
#539
And Maureen never wore a collar. You guys put that there.
c2b3585a-108b-45cb-8b23-2df3373d6703.gif
#540
Well, yeah, we needed a big twist at the end
1fffa35f-ec9a-42cc-b4f8-6c3b8b1cb215.gif
#541
to show that you're guilty.
e4fb97b8-2700-46f3-9129-ec471269f904.gif
#542
But I'm-I'm not guilty.
627900c3-2088-46cb-88d7-4079318a5641.gif
#543
What about the security footage of Maureen's death?
88758eb6-9b22-40fe-acf9-498d55efe0fc.gif

#547
because it's hard evidence, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Like, it's better to actually sit on that footage

#549
until, like, maybe episode ten, and then let people

decide then if you're guilty or not.

Ten episo... You're gonna do ten episodes of this?
5c181940-b346-48c0-8335-6384bafdc27c.gif
#552
Yeah, but then even then we would keep it vague.

I mean, 'cause that's entertainment, you know?

Someone gets murdered, and then you make a show.

But you never give any actual answers,
ed18a98d-4455-4b5d-9c1b-f32bd0605288.gif
#556
because that's what people love. No.

You drag it out. You rake it all over the victim's family.

It's sort of like eating a bag of chips, you know?

#559
It's never gonna actually make you full,
c82feda1-e579-46cf-a163-3d0e54dbb2b6.gif
#560
and at the end you're sick,
738a07d0-4ea8-4576-ae5a-a3cfb8b1aa82.gif
#561
but you want to go back for more.

#562
You want more chips.

Murder is chips. Okay,

you know what, I don't know what you guys are talking about,
af3866a5-d5b8-4791-95ca-c30f6431afab.gif
#565
but I'm gonna find these tapes, and I'm gonna destroy them.

#566
Well, we have backups, so it... Oh, you know what? Yeah.
68a9eaf7-4bd2-4de9-ac68-81c1e37760fc.gif
#567
That could make a good episode, where he's destroying--

#568
Let's think about that, right? He's destroying the tapes...

You know what,

Yes! See?

#574
He gets it. He's laughing.
d5226867-258e-4958-b74d-92ba653c665f.gif

Okay, wait, uh, let me... let me think of another one.

Let me think of another one. "I'll be back."
