Mills and Somerset ask to interrogate Victor in the hospital, but the doctor says that he's chewed off his tongue and that "his brain is mush" from the ordeal. His hand was cut off and pushed onto the wall behind the painting to leave the prints. Remarkably, he is still alive but suffering from severe physical and mental deterioration. SWAT and the detectives raid his apartment and find Victor to be the SLOTH victim, having been bound to his bed for one year to the day, as evidenced by pictures at the scene one taken every day from the day he is discovered. Brushing powder on the wall behind the painting, Somerset finds fingerprints outlining the words "Help Me." After running the fingerprints through AFIS, the prints are traced a day later to a pedophile named Victor ( Michael Reid MacKay), who escaped conviction for the rape of a minor due to the efforts of his lawyer, Eli Gould, the GREED victim. Gould ( Julie Araskog) look at the pictures in a safe house and she notices an abstract painting that is upside down. Believing that this means she is supposed to spot something about the murder scene that nobody else would, the detectives have a distraught Mrs. They find a picture of Gould's wife with blood painted around the eyes. After Tracy goes to bed, Mills and Somerset examine case evidence from the two scenes. While they are eating, an elevated train passes by on the track nearby, making the building and all its contents and inhabitants tremble: the couple mention that that's why the realtor was so nervous for them to see the apartment quickly, trying to hide the proximity of the train. To give Mills and Somerset a chance to get along with each other, Mills's wife, Tracy Mills ( Gwyneth Paltrow) invites Somerset over for dinner. Somerset theorizes that a serial killer is basing his crimes on the Seven Deadly Sins, with five more to go. He finds the word GLUTTONY written behind the fridge in grease, along with a note containing a quote from Milton's Paradise Lost. Knowing the slivers resulted from the refrigerator being moved, Somerset looks behind it. Going to the victim's house, Somerset finds three groove marks in front of the refrigerator and finds that the plastic-like slivers fit into them perfectly. The police captain gives Somerset an evidence container with three slivers of a plastic-like material found in the stomach of the obese man, which he was forced to consume along with the spaghetti. Gould was forced to carve a pound of flesh off of his body, and subsequently bled to death. Somerset investigates the murder while Mills is given the murder case of prominent Defense Attorney Eli Gould ( Gene Borkan), with GREED written in Gould's blood on the floor. The two investigate the murder of a morbidly obese man ( Bob Mack) who was fed spaghetti until a kick to his stomach burst him open. Somerset offers to take Mills out for a drink so they can talk and get to know each other but Mills is too eager to get right to work and is unimpressed with Somerset's attempt to mentor him. He and Somerset meet at the scene of a homicide Somerset is investigating. Before he retires, he is partnered with Detective David Mills ( Brad Pitt), a cocky, young and short-tempered cop from Springfield, a comparatively small town. In an unidentified city of constant rain and urban decay, Detective William Somerset ( Morgan Freeman) is preparing to retire and leave the horrors of the city.
