George Marks : You know what I mean, Lieutenant. Got a few lady problems of your own. (...) Ex-wife who hasn't spoken to you in ten years, daughter who only pretends to love her daddy. Those second-rate medals hanging in your second-rate office. Were they really worth it?
2x09 Mind Hunters

Summary
The headless torso of a woman who disappeared in 1985, on the same day she filed domestic-abuse charges against her husband, is found by hikers in a wildlife preserve. The investigation quickly leads to the grisly discovery of 8 more decapitated bodies, the victims of a serial killer.

Knowing there's a serial killer striking, Lilly pays a visit to Christina at at McGinty's Tavern :
Lilly : Classy joint.
Christina : Classy girl. You here to drink? Or bitch?
Lilly : Gimme a vodka orange. Hold the vodka.
Christina : Never did take after mom.
Lilly : Where you staying these days?
Christina : The Y.
Lilly : There's a daybed downstairs. Cats might fight you for it, but...
Christina : What changed your mind?
Lilly : You can't be wandering around like some kinda...
Christina : Some kinda what?
Lilly : You don't know what's out there.
Christina : And you do?
Lilly : Wish I didn't. Sometimes.
Christina : Just till I get something permanent.
George Marks : Then let me tell you something about Lilly Rush. Why you really became a cop. What you've never told a soul.
The bad thing that happened to little Lilly... long, long ago. I read your 49.
The chimayo case is still a soft spot for Nick Vera (it was evoked in 2x02 Factory Girls too). George Marks knows how to make him angry:
George : Kind of like the chimayo case.
Nick : What's that?
George : Oh, I read those files, too, Nick. You screwed the pooch big time. Or rather, someone screwed a lot of juicy pooches because of you.
George Marks : The things a female will beg to do, if only you'll let her live. Ever wonder what Mrs. Jeffries begged for on that lonely highway before she died?
