17th Hour // Video // Breaking hiatus for Jack to mope
[The video shows Jack sitting at his desk in plainclothes, looking dead tired and rumpled. He's been working for a long time.]
I know we've all been through a lot lately. The past several weeks have seen a string of violent incidents, and not all of them have been related to the Joker or the gas. The police force is trying to solve them, and we're asking for information, anything you can tell us.
First of all, this man- [Jack holds up a grainy picture of Dilandau, pulled from news footage]- is a known murderer and was involved in a destructive fight with an escaped prisoner almost a month ago. He's an ImPort and is believed to be very dangerous. We're still looking for him.
We are also investigating nine deaths that appear to be random. The bodies were found over the course of a week and we have no connections between the victims besides the fact that they were extremely mutilated. [Jack's face is taut and grim, visibly suppressing disgust and anger.] Their organs were missing, it looks like something ate them. Right now it seems that they were attacked by some kind of animal, or at least something like an animal. Maybe something brought in by the Porter.
There's also two unsolved shooting incidents, both of them involving apparent drug trafficking. In both cases the people involved were killed and their money was taken, but the drugs were left behind. It could be vigilante activity, could be something else. [Jack shrugs, not terribly concerned with dead heroin runners]
If anybody knows anything that could help us with these cases, or if there's anything else that you think needs our attention, please let me or another officer know, either through our communicators or our hotline. Whatever you can share could help in making this City safer.
[Jack pauses, looks off-camera at something, then lets out a short, bitter chuckle as he turns back.]
You know, I just realized. I've been here a year today.
Sheldon Sands has been sent home. I've confirmed it. STARS, we'll have to adjust our protocols accordingly. Red Queen, apparently Sheldon left me his home. It's a better place for you than the apartment, we'll move there as soon as I've got time to pack.
...Listen, let me ask you guys something. Do you ever think we could be doing more? That too many people are getting hurt? Seeing those bodies, thinking about everything I've seen here... it makes me wonder.
Agatha, I'd like to talk to you about some upgrades for the helicopter when you've got the chance.
I'm moving out within the next two weeks. You can consider this my notice. Thanks for everything, it's been real interesting living here.
