	They hastily hide the bone in the bushes and split up. Tallahassee Turner runs out to intercept the police and spins up a storm of fast talk, introducing himself as a famous author and neighborhood watchman while trying to keep the officers distracted. At the same time, Major Bakersfield and Dr. Simeon climb back into Corbitt’s yard and make for the back door. Finding it locked, Bakersfield simply kicks it in. The plan lasts about three seconds. As they rush inside, they spot Corbitt in the living room — and then a responding officer comes through the front door with his gun drawn and catches them at the staircase.

	After a long and deeply uncomfortable wait in the police car — worsened by repeated jokes about Tallahassee having pooped his pants — the investigators are taken to the station. There the interrogation resumes. The group sticks to the same core story: they heard a scream, they thought someone inside Corbitt’s house was in danger, and they had earlier seen Corbitt carrying a suspicious canvas-wrapped package that they believed contained a human hand. The detectives are unimpressed. They reveal that the police searched Corbitt’s house and found no one else there, and that the “human hand” in the package turned out, according to Corbitt, to be a branch he was storing in his refrigerator for fertilizer experiments involving mold and moss. Even worse for the investigators, Kovach says Corbitt has solid alibis for several murders around town and cannot possibly be the Miskatonic Mangler.

	The investigators continue to insist that something is wrong with Corbitt, and Bakersfield gives the most coherent version of events they have: earlier that day Corbitt arrived home carrying the suspicious package; later that night they snooped in his yard and found what looked like a human bone; then their acquaintance Dom Druncard went into the house and never came back out. The more they talk, the clearer it becomes that their real concern is not just Corbitt, but the fact that Dom is missing.

	At that point the episode cuts away from the interrogation and reveals what happened to him. Dom wakes up in total darkness with a pounding head, the last thing he remembers being the back door of Corbitt’s house. He quickly realizes he is not lying on stable ground but bouncing around inside the trunk of a moving car. His hands are tied, his pockets have been emptied, and the only useful thing he can find is a heavy metal bar lying inside the trunk. He notices a crack of light where the trunk lid has bounced loose, wedges the bar into it, and manages to lever the trunk open.
