The story so far
Everything you need before watchingA bloodstained scrap of shirt comes in the envelope; he claims last night's cab killing and mocks the police for racing motorcycles in the park. The last lines threaten a school bus: shoot the front tire, then pick off the kids as they bounce out. Overnight the story stops being a cab shooting and becomes a city afraid to send children to school.
