And you, sir?

A simple farmer who has prospered. The town looks to me as friend and counsel.

And landlord. And banker. Can we proceed? Thank you.

So... [Walks by Dr. Lancaster] Three persons murdered. [Walks past Baltus Van Tassel] First, Peter Van Garrett and his son, Dirk Van Garrett. [Walks by Magistrate Philipse] Both of them strong, capable men, found together... [to Reverend Steenwyck] decapitated. One week later, the widow Winship. [To Steenwyck, again] Also, decapitated. Now, I will need to ask you many questions. But first, let me ask: Is anyone suspected?

a How much have your superiors explained to you, constable?

Only that the three were slain in open ground. Their heads found severed from their bodies.

Their heads were not found severed. Their heads were not found at all.

The heads are... gone?

Taken. Taken by the Headless Horseman. Taken back to hell.
