Ryder discovers a 6th victim of the serial killer, he also finds a trail of bleach to cover the blood, he follows the trail and finds a man covering the blood, but discovers that the man isn't the serial killer, but he was actually payed to cover the blood with bleach, when Ryder asks who payed him, the man says that it was David, which prompts Ryder to think that he is lying, but the man insists he isn't and gives Ryder the killer's location.

Ryder heads to the location, where he finds an audio log telling the story of Tom Edward, the real serial killer, before Ryder is encountered by a man called 'Silence' who is wearing a mask, he removes it to reveal that he looks exactly like David Young, and that he killed those people to create a skin mask, and he planned to use it to get revenge against David, and he walks away.

Ryder escapes the hideout, but Silence got away, he contacts Angelo and tells him about Tom, who then remembers that Tom was one of David's childhood friends, before returning to the lab to reveal the story of what had happened to Tom, they were at a church with their parents when a terrorrist blew the building up, killing Tom's parents and the explosion hidiously scarred Tom's face beyond repair, Silence had planned to use his new face to get revenge against David, believing he to be the one that scarred his face.

Trivia/Errors

 * In part 2, during David's flashback, it mentions that at the time, David was 13 and Tom was 5, however, this was actually a typo, it was meant to say that Tom was 15
