Eight years later, Matt, now a recovering alcoholic, is in a diner about to have a meal when a junkie named Peter Boyd Holbrook approaches him and asks Matt to help his brother Kenny Kristo Dan Stevens. Kenny is a drug trafficker, and his wife Carrie was kidnapped and then murdered, despite Kenny paying the ransom fee. Kenny offers Matt 20,000 to find the kidnappers. At first, Matt rejects the offer, but the next day Kenny shows up outside Matts apartment to plead with him. Describing the events of his wifes abduction through a flashback, we see that upon getting a phone call from the kidnappers, Kenny tried to haggle the ransom price from 1,000,000 to 400,000. The kidnappers agree and after giving Kenny the runaround on where to find his wife, tell him his wife is waiting for him in a car in Red Hook. When Kenny gets to the car, all he finds are packages which resemble bags of powdered drugs but are in fact filled with his dismembered wife.Matt looks around Red Hook to get leads. He determines that the kidnappers were most likely involved with the DEA. All the people he asks say they saw a van and two men close to where Carrie was last seen. Every person Matt asks gives him a different name of what was written on the van, since the two men keep repainting the van. Matt goes to the library to find articles on similar killings. He reads two articles on victims named Marie Gotteskind and Leila Anderssen. Behind him is a street kid named TJ Brian Astro Bradley. Matt asks him for help with looking for other articles. Together, they learn that a leg was found in a dumpster by a florist, while other bags filled with body parts were in the pond of a cemetery. Matt goes to the cemetery to speak with the groundskeeper, Jonas Loogan Olafur Darri Olafsson. He had repressed the memory of finding the dead woman in all those bags, and is upset when Matt brings it up. ........
