The Trees

Jim and Moon arrive at Acme Cadaver Company of Chicago. A man named Ditka, whose job it is to scrub the nipples and genitalia of the cadavers, points them toward the office. There they meet Chris Toms, the manager of the company since 1975. Jim and Moon see two employees playing soccer with a cadaver’s head. Chris confirms that one of his trucks containing 21 cadavers went missing a couple months before. No one knows what happened to the driver, Chester Hobsinger.

In California, Daryl Ho tells his partner Chi that the body of the unidentified Asian male they found at the scene of the murder has disappeared from the Medical Examiner’s drawer. Ho receives a phone call from Detective Hind about the murder.

Detectives Moon and Jim go to Chester Hobsinger’s last known address. There’s no one home, and they let themselves in. Inside, they find many books on martial arts and a map of Mississippi with the town of Money circled.
